Bargain Alert: $59 My Twinn Friends Dolls

WOW!! This is really an unprecedented deal. I have been a My Twinn fan for eight years, and I have never seen these dolls priced this low. What is a My Twinn Friend, you may ask? Well, as you may or may not know, My Twinn is a company that manufactures collectible-quality 23" playdolls based on your daughter's picture to create a doll that is her "Twinn." A My Twinn Friend is really nothing more than a non-customized My Twinn doll - usually they are dolls that were returned or refused by customers because they did not look enough like their children. My Twinn Friends are supposedly offered so that girls can buy a "friend" for their personalized doll, but the Friends section of the site is a great place to find a doll that looks like your child - without the hassle of sending in a photo and wondering if they will choose the right face, hair, and other features!

Here is a picture of Daughter Bean with her Twinn, a "Friend" which Santa tells me he purchased on eBay:

Personalized My Twinn dolls are usually priced between $99 and $159, depending on the time of year (they are much more expensive as the winter holidays approach), while My Twinn Friends are generally priced between $69 and $99, though some of the vintage, American-made dolls from the 1990s and early 2000s can run as high as $149. However, this weekend for their Memorial Day Sale, My Twinn Friends are just $59! These are high quality dolls, comparable to (but bigger, and more poseable, than!) American Girls. What a deal!!

The site also sells matching girl and doll clothes - there is currently a 75% off sale on older styles of clothing in girls' sizes. This sale usually includes styles which have sold out in doll sizes, but if you poke around a bit, you can often find a Friend dressed in these outfits!! Take advantage of these deals for an upcoming birthday, or buy now and hang on to them for Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa/Winter Solstice/Yak Shaving Day!!
