Oh wow…I absolutely am in shock at this great give-away!! There are so many things our little bundle could use when he gets here in September! My dream basket would have the Solar System Mobile and the Sweet Island Mobile. Definitely the Summer Video Monitor and the Book Buggee! Also it would have a Minky Baby book, paper cut out mobile, a rocking chair for his little highness as well as a personalized story book…all topped off with the Henry pedi-ped Suede boots!!!! Now that would be a HUGE basket…but again they have so many awesome selections, it would really be hard to choose!!!
