One Gift Bought…Check!

So, I realized that I never posted about one of my most favorite gifts that I bought for Penelope for her first birthday this summer! Which is ok, I guess, cause I can tell you all about it now since I bought her another one for Christmas. So what is this mysterious gift, you ask? It’s the sweetest rag doll made by the coolest Etsy shop called Project Grab Bag.

You see, I was searching high and low this summer for a rag doll to buy Penny as her first official dollie ever. As you know, she only has an older brother so many of our toys are trucks, trains, cars, and other boy fun. We really didn’t have anything girlie for her to play with…not that she doesn’t enjoy all the boy stuff, I just really wanted her to have some girlie things…a dollie and this tea set, you know, so I could play with them too! It needed to be cute and cuddly but also with no buttons or other choking hazards too. My searching led me to Project Grab Bag and boy, was I excited!! Shannon, the dollie-maker, is the best! She makes every dollie with new and vintage materials and can even customize them for you! I bought one of her baby dolls as her first dollie but then couldn’t help but have Shannon make a custom dollie of Penny in her likeness as well. You can pick eye color, open/closed eyes, clothing, hair color and style, etc. I was so happy with the result…and she was fast too. Check out some of the cuteness exploding out of her shop as I speak:

She even has boy dollies in her shop…you can’t forget the little men in your life! I think I am going to have to get Noah one of these ‘manly stuffed friends’ for him to add to his bedtime collection.

You can even buy extra accessories for your dollies too, I just had to buy a pair of these Fuzzy Moon Boots…I so love playing with them (and one day Penny will too, haha!) Aren’t they the cutest things EVER!?!

There are even cute little bunny slippers to buy too. Ahhh the cuteness, I just can’t take all the cuteness!!!!!

Ok, so now that I’ve shared, you have got to get over to her Etsy shop. It is really too cute for words. You need to see it with your own eyes! And hey, tell me what fun things have you found for your littles for Christmas/Hannukah? I promise I won’t tell them! I have been a little laid back in this department this year so any and all ideas would be great to hear!
