Christmas Blythe styling is one of the highlights of the collecting year. Festive outfits, twinkly lights and cosy scenes make the season perfect for photos. Here are ten ideas, plus tips for keeping her safe around the decorations.

10 Christmas Blythe Ideas

  1. Christmas jumper. A tiny knit with a reindeer or snowflake.
  2. Velvet party dress in deep red or green.
  3. Winter coat and scarf for a snowy street scene.
  4. Pyjamas and a mini mug for Christmas morning.
  5. Santa hat or elf ears for a playful look.
  6. Fairy lights photo. Soft bokeh lights behind her face.
  7. Under the tree. Among the presents, as if she just arrived.
  8. Baking cookies with a tiny apron and real crumbs.
  9. Window frost. By a cold window with warm light inside.
  10. Advent challenge. One photo a day from December 1 to 24.

Keep Her Safe Near Decorations

  • Keep her away from hot bulbs, candles and heaters, which can damage vinyl and hair.
  • Do not leave her in direct sun by a window for long.
  • Watch out for glitter, which can stick in her hair and eyes.

Wrapping a Blythe Gift

Wrap the box, not the doll. Keep her in her original packaging, add tissue around her face and hair, and tuck a note inside. For gift ideas, see our Blythe doll gift ideas and Christmas gifts under $100 for her.

What should my Blythe wear for Christmas?

A tiny Christmas jumper, a velvet party dress or cosy pyjamas all work beautifully for festive photos.

Is it safe to put Blythe near Christmas lights?

Keep her away from hot bulbs, candles and heaters. Cool LED fairy lights in the background are a safer choice.

How do I wrap a Blythe doll as a gift?

Keep her in her original box, protect her face and hair with tissue, wrap the box and add a handwritten note.

When should I order a custom Blythe for Christmas?

Order early in the season, as custom dolls are made to order and holiday shipping is slower.

How do I photograph Blythe with Christmas lights?

Turn off the room lights, keep fairy lights behind her for soft bokeh and use a steady phone stand.

Is a Blythe doll a good Christmas gift?

Yes. A custom doll in the recipient’s favourite colours makes a personal and lasting gift.
