One of the things I love about building gifts is that you can afford to give something nicer than you could afford to buy. My family chooses names and I have my brother who has 4 kids. So my husband and I built them all bookbins. We used
Ana White bookholder plans and built the large book holders. I spent $18 on wood so each book holder is about $4.50!
They turned out so cute. I personalized them with vinyl letters cut out with my silhouette machine. I even added a little magnetic strip that I got at Ikea to my nephews for cars and trains (the matchbox cars have to be completely metal for them to stick). Now they will have a little spot by their bed to keep their favorite books.
