My inlaws did a little photoshoot while babysitting one afternoon and gave us this photo in a beautiful frame from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. How adorable?!?!
There are quite a few friends and family members who know we are book lovers, so the little man received a few more for his collection :)
My husband and I gave these two by Nancy Tillman to our son. I absolutely love all her books because they are both beautiful and sentimental in the best possible way. Highly recommended.
Another gift from my husband and I to our son. My parents still have Volume 2 & Volume 3 from when my brother and I were kids and we borrowed those to read this year leading up to Christmas. And while I know they will happily lend them to us again, I thought I would track down a copy of the first volume to add to our own collection. They are apparently not so easy to find, but I lucked out at this Etsy shop. I think it will be nice to mix up which volume we read each year in the future.
I received the Outlander graphic novel from my aunt- and uncle-in-law. I read it from the library (last year?) and loved it, but I didn't have a copy for my collection. Now I do! :)
And finally, my cousin and her family got us this awesome heat-sensitive Harry Potter mug...
...and HP onesie for the little guy. But, shhhh, we all know he's really a wizard :) :)
Your little guy is so cute! I love the HP photo! What a fun gift! So many wonderful book and HP gifts. :D It looks like you had a good Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kay! We did :)
DeleteAww, your boy is so adorable (and big!). I love that Harry Potter photo, as well as the Muggle onesie. I hope you enjoy owning The Exile -- I love mine! Looks like some wonderful new editions to your baby's library. Lucky little guy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa!
DeleteSome great thoughtful bookish gifts - the picture frame with your little one is just precious!

p.s. You commented on the unique format book challenge about re-opening the link up to sign up. I can't get the linky to stay open past about a month, so I'm going to have monthly link ups for the reviews so if you link up a review, you're in!
Thanks Lauren!
DeleteAh, OK thanks for letting me know! I've never used inLinkz before so I'm not as familiar with how it works -- it just seemed unusual for sign-ups for a year-long challenge to be closed so soon. But I left a comment with my sign-up and I can't wait to start reading! Hopefully I can keep up with the reviews though -- those are sometimes my downfall with challenges!
What a cutie! Of course he's a wizard. That goes without saying. :) And I love the heat-sensitive mug. Brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteHe's so cute! Babies make Christmas so much more fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks! They definitely do :)
