Oh wow. This is so kind of you. I think she would love that, but please make sure if the doll is an original that she’s not worth a lot of money. Especially in the original box! She was so popular that she’s not worth anything substantial. I could sell the whole lot for maybe a couple hundred, but I’ve saved this doll for so long that I’d love to see it go to a girl who will cherish it as much as I did. I have probably more sentimental value in it than dollar value. Off the top of my head, I have her original dress, hat and coin purse, her school dress, party dress and candy striped dress. Then I know I have her school books and lunch box, her doll from Christmas, and I have the hair care kit, plus a stand. I think I might have a few more things, but it’s been a while since I looked. This is so sweet of you! I passed my dolls onto my DD, but if I didn’t have a daughter or she had no interest I would 100% give them to someone else. It’s really meaningful to know another little girl can enjoy it and make memories.

And obviously, I’m not putting any stipulations on it, but there is enough stuff to hold back some things and give them to her for her bday or next Christmas as well. Just saying. Oh and it just dawned on me that I bought this doll on my own at the age of 13 (I was into dolls wayyy later than most). I saved up my babysitting money to buy her and most of her clothes and accessories. 😭

For anyone who has had a WW leg break, if you take them into the store they’ll give you a brand new doll. It’s a known defect that is supposed to have been corrected now! They’ll even take the broken doll in back and pretend to fix her and bring out the new one unboxed so your kid doesn’t know.

I was able to get DD a doll from our Buy Nothing group, so FB is a great place to check.

We did it with two dolls recently. They didn’t even blink. They know it’s an issue.

sudsy I have OG Kirsten and another one that came out right after that where it is modern and I think you pick the hair and eye color or something. She has dark hair and eyes I think. Hazy. But I have those and clothes and honestly I would love to pass them on to a girl who would enjoy them. I saved a lot of shit for my future daughter that I didnt end up having. Barbies and barbie accessories like houses and horses and shit, leotards for gymnastics...please let me know if you are interested in anything.

Kirsten was my second favorite. sudsy, and I won't be offended if you would prefer one of microworm's dolls instead. Or she can start building a little AG Army

sudsy, my memory was spot on! Her one eye is a little wonky and doesn’t close all of the way when you lay her down, but you can probably get that fixed. Also, I was a weird kid. I saved all of my receipts and a catalogue from 1995. snip Random fact: some of the old school catalogues sell for money on eBay Confession: I know this because I sold one for 12 dollars a few months ago that I found tucked away in my childhood things. ETA: to snip out pic

ETA: to snip out pic That's crazy! I would try to sell mine, but I have notes and things circled and math for when I was figuring out how much I could spend. So it's probably not worth much. But I've bought random shit like that on ebay. I bought an ipad box for like $10-12 when I bought H a used iPad. Right! Someone who wants to make a gift more complete and stuff. Empty doll boxes and accessory boxes used to sell for the stuff as well, of course now that shipping is $$$$ empty doll boxes don’t sell as much anymore haha Actually for most things I tend to check the boxes on eBay to see 😂🤷🏻♀️

I find it's easier to resell when you have the original box and that's why I keep them. I have a box full of boxes in my closet. Right, it 100% depends on if there is a chance I’ll resell the item. And some boxes/odd ball things just don’t sell for enoguh to be worth it anyway di really situational haha
