1. These dino eggs you can smash

You could delicately excavate them if you wanted, but smashing is the way to go. Buy them.

There's not a kid on Earth who doesn't love walkie talkies. Buy a pair.

3. A custom puzzle of your grandkids

This is a great "self-gift"—something to buy for yourself and keep at grandma and grandpa's house for when the kiddos come over. Order yours.

4. A record of your life story

Take the time to have a short memoir about your life written that your grandkids can read when they're old enough.

This isn't a gift to give now; just like handing down your car after you're gone, it's a gift for your grandkids in the future. It's something for them to remember you by, to understand who you were and what you want adult them to know. Find out more about how easy it is to capture your life story forever here.
