Coolest soft book ever.
We've seen plenty of soft books for babies, but none quite like the ones from this Etsy artist. Let's just say your J Crew catalog may now be safe from that adorable baby stage when your playful little angel mimcs reading magazines just like Mommy--and then destroying them. Crafter Alison James of Mini Me Papers was looking for a safe baby paper option to fit her style, Alison came up with a clever process making protected pages baby can get into without any worries. The result is a clever baby toy made from found and recycled newspapers, magazines and other goodies stuffed with crinkly filling and finished with colorful fabrics and tags.

The fun part is she really lets you get creative and make your order as specific as you like. Whether it's a sports page for daddy's little star, cutesie funny pages, a sheet music option, or even a baby friendly Southern Living--whatever you wish, she will create.
I'm thinking the local paper from the baby's birthdate as a new baby gift. So original and cool. -Stephanie M
Congratulations to Sabrina H, winner of the Mini Me Papers giveaway!.
