9 things to buy your grandkids while they're on sale today

On days like today, where there are 4th of July deals upon sales upon deals, it can be a little hard to know what to shop for. Do you need something big like a new mattress? Or maybe a new grill? Or rather just some refills for your favorite moisturizers? Do you need anything? Maybe not, but there are definitely people in your life (Read: grandkids, nieces, nephews, neighbors, etc.) who it's more fun to shop for. In fact, it's a lot more fun to buy toys and items for kids who don't live in your home than it was when your own kids were small. Take this 130-piece magnetic tile set; surely there is a little kid you know that this will delight beyond words.
