  Shopping
for supplies? Well older kids will just love the back
to school supplies at
Staples. You can find their
Splat Calculator ($4.99) in cool
colors. We gave a tester a green one. It's soft, easy to use and available in teal, pink, green and blue.
Want to try
something cool and new? Need to cover a book? Check out the
Hot Sox Book Sox®
($4.99). Gone are the days of the brown paper bag book cover.
Hot Soxs are constructed from heat-sensitive, stretchable fabric that change
colors when touched. They are colorful, durable and work free since there's
no measuring, cutting or taping. Colors include Slurpee (changes
 from
green to white), Creamsicle (changes from orange to
white), and more. We also loved the Kooky
Klickers ($3.00). These fun pens are totally collectible,
hook onto backpacks or belt loops and can go everywhere. They are
simple, fun and practical. All these products are available at
Staples.
 GelGems Does your
grandchild dream of being a scuba diver or wants to take a trip abroad to
France? Here's a fun way to allow your grandchild to express their
dreams! GelGems is an ultra cool concept that can allow kids as young
as 5 to enjoy them! The great thing about these decorative gels is
that They stick to windows, mirrors, computer monitors, refrigerators almost
any smooth surface! (Don't stick them to the walls though without testing
the surface first!) They peel off and re-stick and can be washed if
they get dirty. The only catch is to not put them too close together
or they'll bleed colors. Everyone who has seen them loves and them and
one of our testers -- a mother of two is now addicted! She said, "I
can't stop buying them! It's like being able to put up a stained glass
window for every season or occasion!"
  Crocs $24.99
You've probably seen lots of people wearing Crocs (pictured right) in loads
of colors. But here's their latest and we love these for back to
school. Your granddaughter's will flip over the Crocs Prima slip-ons
(pictured left). They have all of the the same comfort and
functionality of the other styles, but are super cool and comfy. We
got to test a pair in silver and they are like wearing socks. They
sport an orthotic foot bed are anti microbial and odor resistant! At
$24.99 how can you go wrong! If your grandson is heading off to school
or college this fall get him a pair of crocs that sport his favorite NHL
team or check out their collegiate section - you may find his alma mater!
They're so comfortable and cool you can't go wrong!
