The Hug Club is a one-of-a-kind interactive community with all the ingredients to establish and sustain a vibrant connection between distance-separated grandparents and their 4-9 year old grandchildren. Fun, frequency, mutual discovery - individually custom-fitted to each grandchild-grandparent pairing; delivered in depth and breadth; with all-in-one-place access and a level of operating simplicity that even a 4-year old can navigate:

Hundreds of interactive video games that will allow child and grandparent to not only play together but see and talk with each other as they play. Games for every conceivable whim - sorted by age, by interests, and by skills level.

A major collection of kids-and-family favorite movies, streamed online - with stop-chat-and-resume capabilities to make it feel as though grandchild and grandparent are there together on the living room couch - even though one may be in New York and the other in California

An extensive library of creative crafts and skills development projects designed for partnered execution online. With interactive guidance templates. Even finishing facilities for final fabrication or production

A Greeting Cards Workshop that will allow kids to create their own birthday, holiday, or anytime greeting cards - using their very own artwork, messaging and writing style. Once created, the card is automatically uploaded for printing and first-class mailing by Reuben Donnelley.

A Gifts-for-Grandparents Gallery featuring dozens of gifting possibilities for grandchild customization. Not just a Christmas ornament for Grandma, a grandchild designed and signed ornament that's likely to become a lifetime treasure.

Also a Gifts-for-Grandkids Gallery. Unique gifting items sourced from around the world with an emphasis on quality, creativity, and design.

A Message Center reserved exclusively for grandchild and grandparent. Like no other message center anywhere. That lets kids who can't yet read or write send and receive messages using graphic emoticons. With sound and motion devices. With personal avatars if desired. With photo, voice and video transmission. And totally secure.

A Community Board for online alerts of Hug-wide events and competitions designed to keep grandchild and grandparent enthusiastically engaged - not just with each other but with The Hug Club community at large.
