1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Did you get any BJD-related gifts this holiday?

Dec 29, 2023

    1. I'd love to hear (or see) what gifts people got (or bought for themselves!) this holiday season :hollyberry

      I used an Etsy gift card from my sister to buy a bodysuit from Esef Dolls, and also got myself a couple of wigs :kitty2

    3. I asked my friends if they would accept gift boxes of destash doll stuff from me this holiday so I sent out a few myself and have received one in return so far. I think there will be one more at least, and whatever happens happens at that point! :lol: (I really needed to keep giving away so receiving was basically a nice bonus)
      The one box I got from my friend had a beautiful hooded sweater they made that I gave to Allaster, an ash blonde updo wig I gave to Chelsea, some cute 1/4 corduroys I think I will save for my next msd one day, neckties I will use for Sven sometime, maybe Marina for an Avril style accessory, a really nice beige open knit turtleneck sweater and a really cute red hat (from 2003 it says inside!) that I put on WenWei and it is so adorable and perfect for her I could cry... Plus more after this fashion.
      It was nice to have that package this year because we were hardly able to do anything for it in my household nor any other big gift exchange.

      Oh as for buying for myself, eh my birthday is coming now so in the spirit of decadence I've ordered a couple wigs :lol:

    4. Definitely didn't get anything doll-related from anyone else ahaha. Though my mom's rich-ass boyfriend gave me a fat check for Christmas, which I'll definitely be spending on dolly things! Already used some of it to order two of the new little Shoushou Doll heads!
      The rest I'll save for grail-hunting. Come on Si Cang A-He and Shoushou Doll Cat Coco . . . show yourselves . . .

      Got myself & my dolls a few things, too! It's really just stuff I'd ordered from AliExpress that happened to arrive right around Christmas time, but IT COUNTS ;)

      My little DZ MiYous got some special things! New dark eyes for the still-unnamed boy of the left, which I love! Annnd a new wig and FINALLY some kitty ears for my little Minou on the right! :kitty2 His collar is new as well, as are both of their outfits!

      I also finally grabbed myself a ring light so I can take better photos of my BJDs and other off-topic dollies!

    5. My in-laws gave me a huge pack of Miniverse Make It Mini Food so I can make props for my dolls. :dance

    7. I bought myself a PukiPuki from a Facebook group for Christmas! I haven’t taken pictures of her yet because I haven’t had time but it was the sculpt I wanted the most in tan with the sleeping faceplate. She arrived on Christmas Eve too!

    8. I got no doll-related gifts but the holidays did give me a chunk of free time to finish some sewing and knitting projects for myself, friends and fam - and now I have a stash of really nice leftovers to still craft doll clothes from for my resin pals.

    9. My birthday is on Christmas Day so I get pretty lucky with cash to put towards dolls from both events and both sides of my family so I typically get a new doll each year thanks to everyone’s combined efforts. My family loves seeing them too!

    10. For a christmas gift to myself, I treated myself to a Bonbon Galaxy Kitty bonefish doll. It has been a very bad year for me and this month has been tough. But something about the cute face in the promo photos kept cheering me up so I allowed myself to get one. Strange timing but the morning the doll arrived, my old Betta fish passed away so the doll's arrival was a welcome distraction! The doll is off-topic for the forum but have posted pics in the Brigadoon section :XD:

    11. I didn't get anything doll related from friends or family. I did reorganize a bit? I like @AlisonVonderland 's idea of sending off stuff I don't use anymore...I'll have to see if I can enter a gift exchange like that!

      Oh I did go to IKEA and get more of the smaller Parkla bags to store my dolly outfits in! My mom paid for them as a belated holiday gift so I guess that counts? :lol:

    12. My daughters asked me what I wanted so I directed them to an Etsy site that sells teeny-tiny Obitsu-11 clothing. They picked out some really cute items.
      I had my spouse get a Momoko.
      Those were my only doll-related gifts but I did also get some Sanrio Hangyodon things too. :):treecookie:candycane:gingerbreadman:hollyberry:goldstar

    13. I was so spoiled this year...

      My sister, who is in the hobby, got a bunch of clothes and accessories for my crew and an off topic tiny blind box BJD.

      My husband got me a Migidoll Yujin sleeping head, and two (off topic) Eve Studio cats.

      My mom got me doll clothes and a Migidoll Siho head, but he didn't arrive in time, so I'm still waiting on him!

    14. I got the orange osmanthus Volks kimono from my father. It's become a yearly tradition to get new Volks outfits for birthdays and Christmas since I started collecting :XD:

    15. My nine9style order arrived way earlier than I was expecting, so I gave the box to my mother unopened so she could give it to me for Christmas. So my dolls got some hoodies and shoes and stockings!

      (I feel like this would have felt way more magical if my family were at all interested, or even pretended to be interested. We all take turns to open presents, and nobody could share my excitement for mine. I don't think I could ever open a doll on Christmas day just because the complete lack of interest verging on disapproval from everyone else would kill it a bit for me)

    16. I didn't technically get anything doll related for Christmas, but i ordered a bunch of things for a couple of my dolls back in November that just arrived, so it feels like they came for Christmas XD

    17. BJD related, My mom got me the MyLifeAs Pizza Parlour, it is perfect for my ¼ dolls. I am really looking forward to using this in pictures. Non BJD related she got me an off topic Cindy Lou Who doll. Nothing else was doll related.

    18. I got myself an in-stock Resinsoul Yu from Denver Doll and an outfit for her and waited until Christmas morning to open her. Here she is before the family present-opening started.

    19. I bought myself some more resin (going to make some more eyes, attempt some stands and make bits for some outfits) :evilplot:

      Ordered some plastic antlers which arrived yesterday and have one with magnets attached with miliput (currently curing).

      And a couple of very reasonably priced bodies for some floating heads which should hopefully arrived in the first half of 2024... and gives me enough time to review characters, faceups, wigs etc before they arrive :D
