Plush toys or stuffed toys as they are sometimes called; are popular with kids of various ages, whether they are stuffed animals, licensed stuffed toys or soft rag dolls. They are perfect for gifts for babies, toddlers, and young girls up to 11 years old, because they make great cuddling companions and warm friends in bed and anywhere. In addition, soft toys are readily available and a nice variety can be found at most local stores and they are also very popular online. The only catch with stuffed toys for parents is that kids are always looking for something new and trendy or like one would say the hottest toy around each year. So companies like us, GirlznDollz always have to keep up to date with fashion and introduce something fresh & fun every year to compete. We try to do just that by making all of our rag dolls limited edition, which in turn allows our dolls to remain current, something that our customers absolutely love. That’s definitely one of the reasons we called our fabric dolls: fashion dolls.
So with that in mind, this year, GirlznDollz is on trend and right on time with their new 2016-2017 doll & accessory line introduced both at the Astra 2016 show in Denver in June and the Philly Gift show in July.
So let’s see what’s new at GirlznDollz for this coming Fall & winter!
A new princess Line
Since our 14” totz dolls are our most popular doll size as they are ideal for babies & young toddlers, we have introduced a Leila soft pink princess doll, all pink with silver crown and trims, a dark pink Leila Fairy Princess with gold crown and wings and our African American (black or multiracial) Elana doll as a brown skinned white angel doll. So far, these little gems have been very popular at the trade shows and pricing is still reasonable at $14.99, which make them an affordable gift and a great impulse buy.
But, even more popular this year are our jumbo versions of the Princess line. We have kept them simple, but beautiful and sparkly. The jumbo princesses are 25” in size. Adorned with gold and silver trims, our larger princess rag dolls will come in 3 styles: all pink/silver Leila Princess, a traditional blonde princess doll with blue dress & crown and our brown skin,(black or multiracial) princess doll with hot pink fashion. Those jumbo princess fabric dolls will make a unique gift for Christmas, Hanukah or any holidays and will run for $24.99.
Soft Plush toys as the new pets
Completely new this year are our new pet friends, which we introduce to you as Jewels the puppy - Leila’s new soft pet, and Tessie the glam pony, Emme’s new plush friend . These super soft stuffed animals, in fashionable fabrics are still very girly & sparkly and make a wonderful & whimsical addition to our soft doll line. Our adorable soft pets also come assorted with 3D blankets that every little girl will love. These 2 new items added to the GirlznDollz line are as follow: A pink furry & extra soft blanket, full of rhinestones matches the fabric of Jewels the pup, and a leopard blanket with multi-color pompom matches the cape of Tessie the pony.
Since our original Leila Holiday doll is almost sold out, we are introducing a 14” Jessica holiday doll in a hot pink zebra print outfit, and a matching purse, sold separately! We will also have a winter themed Jessica doll in 18” size, and she comes with a matching purse as well. Finally Emme, our most popular ethnic brown skin rag doll is now dressed in a leopard outfit and also comes with a matching purse, sold separately. She is already loved by many and is a great seller at the trade shows!
All soft dolls, blankets and stuffed animals will be available for Pre-order by early September and will be in stock by end of September. At GirlznDollz, we can’t wait for Fall, Christmas and the other holidays to come!

- Leila dolls
Ever since our 2014 launch, our “Leila Cute” pink hair doll with blue eyes, ruffled dress and flower accessories, has been the favorite among our customers. A year and an half later, she is still our best seller. Leila cute is pink, simple, but yet so adorable, as we’ve been told by parents and kids who fell in love with that doll. Surprisingly, that doll crosses over many seasons and stays consistently the best seller no matter the area, platform or event where it is sold. One would not be surprised to know that “Leila Cute” was indeed the owner’s first doll design in the GirlznDollz line.
Because of the continuous interest and success of our “Leila Cute” doll, GirlznDollz has expanded the line to create a variety of Leila dolls dressed in different outfits by season, by age group, and also to cover different interests. At the GirlznDollz store, you can also find Leila school outing in a fall outfit, Leila Polka dot Cutie designed for babies, newborns and young toddlers, Leila dancer for the ballerinas and dancers, and Leila Rock Star ideal for older girls, 5 years and up. See below doll pictures with various Leila styles with the first one, Leila cute and others as named above in order. Our Leila dolls come in 14” size and 18” size with prices ranging from $12.99 to $19.99.
2. Doll Purses
Our Leila doll line also extends in doll purses, which are our next top sellers in the GirlznDollz line. Girls have fallen in love with our doll purses. This great combination of doll and purse offers a great value to our customers with 2 gifts in one. With the doll purses, GirlznDollz gets extremely creative and girly by offering fun choices for girls ranging from tutu styled purses, candy shaped bags and holiday purses.
As shown here, our doll purses include a full size 14” doll and a little girl’s purse, which as a set, have great play value as the purse can be used as a doll carrier, a doll crib or simply a toddler handbag. Children absolutely adore the purse sets and parents love the price. The doll purses are indeed competitively priced at $19.99 offering a unique holiday or birthday gift under $20.
On sale since last Christmas 2014, we found that customers prefer the doll purses to the traditional display box package because the purses are reusable, there are no boxes wasted, and most of all they are convenient to pack and ship. As the holiday approaches, our soft rag dolls with matching purse make a unique and affordable gift, perfect for any little girl who loves dolls. Great for toddlers and older children, they are also washable, and come in a variety of styles that can be matched with various other GirlznDollz with blonde, brunette, pink hair and red hair, as well as ethnic dolls.
- Mermaid Dolls
Lastly, our mermaid dolls have also been very popular since they were introduced this summer. They are fun, sparkly, and very colorful. Cameron the Rainbow mermaid doll is the favorite of the two, and is ranked our 2nd best seller, after Leila Cute. She is the 14” blond mermaid with side pony tail, pink sparkle top, and a rainbow tail that attracts all the little girls. The bright colors mixed with the sparkle rainbow tail, is definitely a winning combination among toddlers.
At Girlzndollz, we are always working to develop innovative dolls and accessories. Coming up next year is personalization of our dolls, introduction of princess dolls, pink hair ethnic dolls, and possibly a line of clothing and accessories for the existing dolls.

Buying children toys for the holidays can quite a challenge for some families. For parents and children, the holidays often mean different things. For the child, it symbolizes toys, Santa, and time off school. For the parent, it means holiday list, holiday shopping, huge crowd, and a big dent in the family’s budget.
The holiday list is usually a long list of gifts to be purchased for children in the immediate and extended family. That task has becomes quite a chore for the mother, who is usually in charge of making the list, and shopping for that list. Many parents can agree that this added responsibility creates a lot of stress and anxiety during the holiday season.
Fortunately, the younger the child, the easier and shorter the holiday list can be since it is usually created by the parent, and a baby or small toddler tends to appreciate any toy that is received as long as it’s soft, colorful, makes some type of noise, or relates to a familiar show or theme.
Nevertheless, here are a few suggestions for the new parent or grandparent when creating a holiday list and shopping for that age group.
- Look out for toy holiday guides from various mommy blogs, TV shows or family magazines that often feature the hottest children toys by age group (infant & pre-school), or from eco-friendly to educational toys.
- Check toy reviews from trusted sources and websites and see what their recommendations are by age groups. Those sites are usually well informed on the newest toys, toy safety and recalls.
- Your neighborhood toy store can create a personal and easier shopping experience as their owners or clerks are usually very helpful in guiding the new parent or disoriented shopper with their holiday toy list. If shopping at large retailers, check out their best sellers, or toy recommendations and read online reviews from other parents.
- Finally, keep in mind the following elements when shopping for infant/young toddler toys: softness, washability, safety, attractiveness in terms of color and creativity.
Now for the older child, the holiday list tends to be longer and more expensive because the list often includes the trendiest toys from TV ads and shows. Although more extensive, creating and shopping for that list is an easier task since older children are quite involved in making their Santa wish list.
What to do before creating and shopping for the holiday list
The main thing is to listen to your children’s comments, be aware of the shows they love and the ads that catch their eye. You can also find out what are the hottest toys by searching for popular movies of the year and the licensed toys associated with these movies, or simply browsing retailer’s best selling items.
The biggest trick however is staying within a certain budget when shopping for the holiday list. That can be accomplished by checking for deals, and comparison shopping online before hitting the stores.
Another suggestion is to enlist the help of grandparents, aunts, and in-laws to share in the expense of certain toys on the list, or just simply dividing the list of toys with the family, and deciding who will buy which toys. This will ensure that the whole list is covered, in turn reducing potential disappointment, while at the same time controlling holiday expenses and stress.
Finally, have the child prioritize their wish list, so the most wanted items are on top of the list and not forgotten by Santa or you. Since many wish list items are usually those expensive licensed or electronic toys, knowing the important items on the holiday list will help figuring out the holiday budget and what toy expense will need to be shared.
We hope at GirlznDollz, we can help ease any budget anxiety over holiday shopping for girls and young boys since our dolls are either under $15 or $20; prices we hope can fit any budget. Be sure to check www.girlzndollz.com during the holiday buying season for various sales, promotions and free shipping incentives. We will make sure to post best selling items and will update our “sales and events” page weekly to promote a great shopping experience.
