Your daughter wants a doll for Christmas, but you don't have a clue about dolls and don't even know where to start. You don't know what all the options are. Or, maybe you know the type of doll she wants, but it's very expensive and need some alternatives that might serve as alternatives. Calm down, Dad. You've come to the right site.
I have two daughters and no sons, so I know a thing or two about dolls. But, to be honest, I learned everything I know in the last six months. That's because I opened up a doll store online. All the research I have done in order to write the articles is making me kind of an expert on dolls. So, I though I'd pass on some of my newly acquired knowledge on to some other guys who might be in a pinch during this season.
First, you need to understand that there are many different categories of dolls. Many of them wouldn't interest a young girl, so we'll only focus on the few that would. The categories are baby play dolls, young girl dolls and fashion dolls.

They are made of plastic or vinyl and look like babies. If your girls is young, like under 10 at least, she may want a doll like this. There is one possible change, though. These days there are some dolls called newborn dolls or realistic dolls that are all the rage. As the name suggests, they look like actual newborns. So realistic in fact, that some of them are actually ugly like real newborns.
Young girl dolls are dolls are generally 18 inches tall, but some types are a little smaller. They look like sweet young girls. The most popular are American Girl Dolls. They are great, but expensive. There are some brands that look very similar, and are less painful on the wallet. These dolls are My generation Dolls and Adora Dolls. All are great products that also come with their own accessories.
The last type, fashion dolls are dolls that tend to look overly feminine, some say sexual. They are Barbie dolls and the like. They look like young women with grossly exaggerated features. Girls like to dress them up in various outfits. So, if you go this route, make sure to buy extra outfits and accessories.
I hope this overview gives you a starting point in your search for the perfect doll for your girl. All these dolls are available in stores and online in abundance.
