If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably already started your holiday shopping…
So, Tinkerbell and I decided this was the perfect time to write a gift guide for doll collectors.
We’ve compiled a list of five items that we feel are sure to please any doll lover and their doll!
Gift Idea Number 1:
Never underestimate the power of a good sticker book! Stickers are an awesome gift for doll lovers, especially those who enjoy crafting for their dolls. They work great for decorating dollhouses and some can be used to make dollhouse miniatures.
Gift Idea Number 2:
Small charms are excellent accessories for Barbie dolls, and the variety of charms available is endless!
You can get camera charms, typewriter charms, gumball machine charms, etc… I particularly like these tiny dishes. They make the cutest miniature chinaware!
Gift Idea Number 3:
Christmas ornaments are everywhere this time of year and can make unique additions to the dollhouse. Do your doll’s like to sew? This sewing machine ornament (pictured above) is just the right scale for a mini doll. How about some sweet Christmas treats? Hobby Lobby has dozens of food-related ornaments (pictured below) perfectly sized for 18-inch dolls.
Gift Idea Number 4:
I don’t know a single doll collector who doesn’t love getting a new outfit for their doll’s wardrobe!
Hobby Lobby has a variety of 18-inch doll clothes that can be purchased for less than ten dollars (especially if you use a coupon), while Wal-Mart stocks little packs of Barbie clothes for about $4.99 each.
Gift Idea Number 5:
I am of the opinion though that the best gifts are handmade. You can make cute, doll-sized knick-knacks using material you already have at home, and whatever you make can be customized to your doll’s personality.
These Beauty And The Beast themed books were made using printables from our Printables Page, paper, scissors, and glue.

Well, that’s the end of our list! I know it was short, but I hope it gave you a few gift ideas for the doll lover (and dolls) in your family!
Thanks! I got the idea to write a gift guide after googling "gifts for doll collectors" and coming up with nothing but the newest Barbies. My favorite item from this list are the charms! They look so realistic and don't cost nearly as much as miniature dishes sold for dollhouses.
Glad you liked them!
Great idea for a post. I liked how your gift ideas can easily be adapted to dolls of different scales. Enjoy the holiday season.
