5 Products for Memorial Day Weekend Fun

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s the Flipper – 10" Folding Flyer from Garyline, and it looks nothing like a bird or a plane. It is a circular polyester flyer and comes with a matching pouch, with a silkscreen imprint area. (If anything, it looks like an alien flying saucer we saw one night, but the government said not to tell anyone about that.) (800) 227-4279, www.garyline.com

During a Memorial Day picnic, users can sit on this Folding Chair with Carrying Bag from Hit Promotional Products like it’s a regal throne. While the rest of the crowd uncomfortably leans on their elbows or their numb, folded legs, others can sit on their mighty seat in the grass, and then fold it up and easily fit it in the trunk of the car. The chair has two cup holders and comes with a convenient carry case. (800) 237-6305, www.hitpromo.net

If Transformers are robots in disguise, this 4-in-1 Blanket from Southern Plus is a seat cushion, tote bag, picnic blanket and weather protector in disguise. You tell us which is more impressive—a robot pretending to be a car (which is already a machine), or four different items acting as one unassuming household item? Answer: It’s the one we’re still waiting on the explosion-filled Michael Bay movie about. (800) 241-7107, www.southernplus.com
