7 Blythe Doll Birthday Gift Ideas

  1. A look-alike doll. Match her hair, skin tone and eye colour to the birthday star. Try our free look-alike finder.
  2. A birthday outfit. A party dress, a tiny crown or a bow in their favourite colour. See our Blythe doll dress guide.
  3. A matching pair. One doll for them and one for you, as best friends.
  4. A birthday photo shoot. Balloons, confetti and a tiny cake for a photo story. Our 20 Blythe photo ideas can help.
  5. A handwritten note explaining why you chose each detail.

  7. A doll party. For collectors, a small dolly meet with friends and their dolls makes a lovely celebration.

Make It Personal

The birthday detail trick

Choose one detail that ties her to the birthday: their birthstone colour for the eyes, the year they were born on a tiny necklace, or their favourite flower in her hair.

Timing and Delivery

Each doll is made to order, so plan ahead. Shipping is free and tracked to more than 200 countries; see shipping and delivery for timing. For younger children, read our advice on Blythe as a gift for kids first.
