Fu-bu-kookoo lucky bag researching
Yesh, forgot the Japanese word that means lucky bag, but you know what I mean. The dollmore bags last year yielded between three and four garments, with nothing fabulous showing up anywhere I saw in my websearch last night. The system is different this year and includes a bigger variety of items, like shoes and wigs along with clothes, but if I’m sending someone sixty dollars for doll clothes, I want something more certain than a mixed MSD size baggie of fun. I know if the bag had wigs, they wouldn’t fit, it might be boy clothes, it might be plain old boring stuff that we don’t like, so no lucky bag, at least from Dollmore, for me.
Maybe the Mimi’s parcels would be more my style, there’s a vague list of what to expect. Everything on their site is nice, I wouldn’t mind any of it showing up in a lucky bag. I do like that there’s certain to be shoes in the pack, shoes are what my girl needs most. I’d might be better off just buying some shoes that I know for sure that I’ll like and will be in good colors. It’s the idea of getting all these fun things at once that appeals to me really, not that I’d turn my nose up at a pair of msd jeans just showing up in the mail or anything, but a big old goodie pack of doll stuff just sounds like when I was a little girl and my grandmother was moving, my uncle brought over two HUGE crates of my mom and aunt’s dolls for me to take care of. Sure, it was in June, but it was like a dozen Christmases in one, well, two, boxes. I’ve still got darn near every one of those dolls, only sold off a few that weren’t to my taste or were roughly enjoyed by my aunt in her odd childhood.
