Highly recommend Kids Party Craft
Loads of stocking filler type stuff for great prices. You can filter by £1 or less, £1 deals, £2 deals or £5 deals. And 10% off your first order if you sign up to their newsletter.
I’ve received my order really quickly as well! I got:
Christmas Letter To Santa Pack - 98p
Whoopee cushion - 96p
3x My First Learning Books - £2.99 each

They have excellent customer service too, they recently forgot to pick an item & sent it straight out the next day. Actual person responding to emails shocker!!

I see mannequins quite often on FB market place if you’ve somewhere to store them? We went through alot of the top model stuff. If she wants to make smaller clothes sometimes Aldi do middle aisle fat quarters and also sell sewing machines if you think she can handle an adult one

Full price for this £17.99, not £38 so it's not a terrible deal but not great either. I just wanted to mention this in case anyone else is thinking about buying it.

whereaw · 19/08/2023 19:59

@wutheringkites oh thank you! That was misleading! I cancelled mine Confused apologies!

Are there any doll cloth experts? I apparently have a non standard sized baby doll (12 inches) whose single outfit is now covered in curry... Can anyone recommend a website? Ebay is only bringing up handmade bits.

How about tiny baby/newborn actual baby clothes? People often give away bundles on facebook or you can buy super cheap!

Twinklemacfinkle · 19/08/2023 20:12

Have you considered baby clothes? Most supermarkets see premature baby clothes and up so you should be able to find something.

Blessedbethefruitz · 19/08/2023 20:52

@Twinklemacfinkle @SootspriteSearcher Thanks, hadn't even crossed my mind! Do you think preemie is the right size?

sugarplum33 · 19/08/2023 21:03

@Blessedbethefruitz 12 inches is pretty small compared to an actual baby, I'd try to get the smallest preemie clothes you can. I got a set for a 3lb baby for DD's doll which is probably a similar size and they were perfect. They were from sainsburys I think.

sugarplum33 · 19/08/2023 21:08

@Blessedbethefruitz Just looking online and a real baby with a length of 12 inches weighs on average less than 1.5lb. Not an exact science when you're actually dressing a doll but shows you'd probably be best looking at micro preemie clothes. Sainsburys goes as low as 2lb I believe.

Blessedbethefruitz · 19/08/2023 22:22

Amazing thanks! I'll have a look around :) Yeah the doll is pretty small but it's a tiny tears, had no idea there wouldn't be standard clothes. My toddler is very small too, hence the purchase!

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 19/08/2023 23:11

This little shop has 12 inch clothes. Some are quite 'unique' but right size. Not too expensive.

We have an older set of these clothes from Argos.
the q&a is a bit contradictory re sizing but the ones we had definitely fit DDs smaller dolls so I reckon they would be right

Blessedbethefruitz · 20/08/2023 07:24

Thanks all! Apparently I had different expectations of doll clothes pricing lol, I thought it should be less 😅

Is there VAT on dolls' clothes but not on kids' clothes?

lemonsmum · 20/08/2023 09:27

@Ohyousillydivvy @BarbieWorldFantastic
Thanks 🙂

I have noticed stock depends on each store 🤞

Feel like I was so much further ahead last year.
Advent calander completed though. Our avon have been giving free perfume with book and she's had her ears pierced so nice easy year for that.
