Selecting The Best Doll For A Gift

By Carla Banoff


Your daughter's birthday is right around the corner and you might be looking for a special gift for a special girl in you life. And, you might not have any idea of what to but. How about a doll? It's a great gift with longevity. This article will give you some basic advice on deciding which is the right type of doll for your needs.

The first step in deciding the best doll for your needs is to consider the age of the person you're shopping for. If they are adult, they will most likely not want it to play with, but rather, sit on a shelf to look at. Unless that is, they want one that can be carried like a real baby. If not, they will not necessarily need it to be made of a material that is durable. Also it doesn't have to feel soft in the hands either.

If your doll indeed is for a child, we highly recommend getting a vinyl doll. These dolls are very nice to touch and play with. Contrast this with a doll made from artists resin. These dolls are hard to the touch and simply not pleasant to play with. Porcelain is also out of the question. Porcelain is a glass and as you might suggest, very easy to break. These new vinyls dolls are not only nicer to tough, they are also nearly indestructible.

There are two types of vinyl dolls that are the most popular with young girls. They are 18 inch, young girl dolls and realistic looking baby dolls. The 18 inch dolls that are most popular are American Girl dolls. They are very good, but very pricey. There are though, some knock off brands that are also very nice. You may want to consider Journey Girl dolls. Either way, these dolls are easy to find additional clothing.

If you don't want an 18 inch doll, you might want to consider one of the realistic dolls called newborn dolls. Why are they called that, you ask? You won't ask once you see one. These dolls are incredibly true to life. In fact, many people think that they are real until they look closely. Young girls love to have them because they look just like moms.

If perhaps, you didn't want a playing dolls. Or maybe you wanted one that could be a play doll for a while, and still become one that would look nice on a shelf, you may be in luck. Some decorative dolls are made of vinyl. This could serve both purposes. But, if you opted for a porcelain doll, it would only be for viewing purposes.

I hope this article helps you on your birthday shopping decision. Dolls are really great options because they can have multiple and lasting rolls. They can start out as a child's play doll, but can also become an heirloom and even a decorative piece that would look great on a girls shelf.
