I don‘t have pic collage but I would love to join in on #bookbasketgiveaway that @LaraReads is so generously hosting!! My basket would contain tagged book, original sweetTarts, slipper socks, a cozy throw, panda licorice, a hot water bottle with a cute fleece cover, green tea with mint❄️☃️🏒

LaraReads Who needs a pic? I can imagine all of that and it sounds so cozy & fun! 😊 I‘m so glad you entered & I wish you a very Happy New Year! 💕🎉 4y

Getting in on this clever idea from @LaraReads 😊

My Outlander bookish basket would consist of:

* lots of candles
* a toothbrush (Claire would approve!)
* a multi-purpose tartan
* map of the Scottish clans (where‘s Lallybroch?!)
* lots of herbs for fixing all the things
* a pocket Jamie (if the real one isn‘t available)

#bookbasketgiveaway I changed this twice... but if I wanted a theme it would be warm socks, warm blanket, fire starters, bug repellant, first aid kit, hiking boots, a fun basket to carry supplies in, nuts, water, and of course a book to read. I love your idea @LaraReads !

LaraReads Great idea! I love this! Such a good theme! Thank you so much for entering. Happy New Year! 💕🥂🎉 (edited) 4y

In love with @LaraRead 's #bookbasketgiveaway concept!! Choose a book - what would be in a themed basket with that book?? (Check out her post for details on the giveaway part!)

Little Women immediately came to mind! Obviously, a copy of Pilgrim's Progress is a must. Limes (pickling optional), a clothespin (no better way to guarantee a straight nose), some sheet music (since a piano doesn't really fit in a basket), a blank notebook & pen ⬇

TheAromaofBooks a glove (the other one mysteriously missing, although I could only find pictures of pairs!), an large umbrella, and possibly a few of Beth's kittens!

What else should be in the basket? Trying to decide what book to do next...

LaraReads Oh, I love this! Make me want to jump right in to that basket. I really love everything you chose, and OF COURSE the kittens are a must! 😻 Thanks so much for joining in! 4y

@LaraReads - this is one of the most creative giveaways I‘ve seen! 😍

1. Kleenex, for the inevitable cold one gets when reading about Captain Tripp‘s
2. M-O-O-N, that spells Tom Cullen!
3. This album contains “Don‘t Fear the Reaper,” which played in the original miniseries
4. Trashcan Man isn‘t just our Litsy pal - he‘s a character in this book!
5. Flagg wears this on his denim jacket
6. In prep for the upcoming adaptation!
