Story Time Snuggle Pack

Books make some of my favorite baby gifts, both to give and receive.  I wrote once before about why books make the best gifts, and there are a few favorite titles I always seek out when it a new baby is on the way.  I find myself always coming back to these books either because they were favorites of my own children or because they have a certain sentimental value that any mother will love.  Recently, I decided to take my book giving idea a step further and create a "Story Time Snuggle Pack."  One of my dearest friends is expecting her first child in just a few weeks (yay!!), so I wanted to put something together for her little one that was extra special.  Snuggling up and reading stories is one of my favorite things to do with my children, so I figured a book-themed snuggle pack was the perfect thing for a new mom and her little bundle of joy.  I went to Michael's and got one of those cute, sturdy bins (of which I can never seem to have enough). then filled it with some of our favorite books, a cuddly Carter's blanket, and a cozy fleece sleep sack.  I wrapped it all up in a cellophane bag, and voila!  A story time snuggle pack.  B, I hope you and your little one have as much fun with this as I did making it!
