Em so there are people buying this stuff?!

Ughnotagain · 30/01/2016 14:22

Em what do you do with them though? Just clip them on the side of the glass?

Gunting · 30/01/2016 14:23

Ugh I think they go around the bottom of the stem and rest on the flat part at the bottom?

Ememem84 · 30/01/2016 14:29

They clip round the glass stem. So you can recognise your glass. Hmm

Then they rattle. And then you Forget to take them off and they get washed and chip other things....

Yes people buy them. It's sad because I know mil would have paid an absolute fortune for them.

I just saw this on FB. A wee bit freaky, i thought (although others may disagree) www.bradford.co.uk/products/0302085001_my-perfect-emily-baby-doll.html?tid=325669

Orange1969 · 30/01/2016 16:09

That doll has got a strangely shaped head!

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I have been tempted to buy a realistic baby doll in the past. I think it would be fun to buy clothes for it. BlushBlush

NeedACleverNN · 30/01/2016 16:12

I want a realistic baby doll but I want a vinyl one not a plastic one.

Much more realistic

They look dead though. I saw someone with one in the supermarket once and nearly started resuscitating it. Freaky things.

I'd never take it out the house.

Just wear a couple of outfits my babies wore when they were teeny. I also wouldn't buy all the Moses baskets and shit for them either

I can see why you'd want to do that but I think it would scare me even more to see one in the clothes of a child I loved... It's something about the weighted, soft but unmoving limbs that are just that little bit too floppy, and I've seen lots where the skin colour isn't quite right, a tiny bit too mottled... Gives me chills...

sallysparrow157 · 30/01/2016 16:26

Oh, and the baby animal ones are just terrifying in an entirely different way!! lunatoonyweeones.wordpress.com/page/4/

Gunting · 30/01/2016 17:04

They scare me but my son is only 3 months old so in 16 years I might understand

NeedACleverNN · 30/01/2016 17:26

The animal ones are weird..

MagpieCursedTea · 30/01/2016 17:34

Why are the animal ones wearing baby grows?!

I wonder how much they charge for that delight

That looks like sweets and toys wrapped up in an inflated condom!

How can you start this thread and admit to wanting one of those monstrosities Grin

TheoriginalLEM · 30/01/2016 18:09

The dolls in the list - she states that the clothes may be "gently used" to keep the costs down Hmm

Chippednailvarnish · 30/01/2016 18:16

Queue up and slap me.

I was very very upset well mildly crabby to see a FB friend has copied something I originally made and now everyone well, one person has said she should make and sell them.

I thought of it first! saw it on Pinterest and copied it
