Even though I brought a crate, she actually wound up sleeping in my lap the whole way through (my brother drove us back so I could have that first crucial bonding time with her), with an occasional look around and at me (she had gorgeous long lashes

)
I brought:
Nutrical, crate, bunny hoodie, matching bunnie-blanket toy (to rub on the momma), potty pads, water bottle, a little puppy snack
I was given:
An old sock toy with litter-mate & momma's scent, contract, an AKC puppy informational kit, a little bit of puppy chow, deworming/vet records, AKC registration papers (came a little later), litter geneology (3 generations)
