A doll is set into a birthday cake for a Barbie fan.
Little girls that play with Barbie dolls enjoy receiving Barbie birthday gifts. A wide array of exciting items are available for purchase to go with the doll that was first introduced in 1959. Patterns for clothing, dollhouses and furniture allow crafty gift givers the opportunity to personalize a special Barbie gift for the birthday girl. Go beyond the accompanying dolls, videos and games to find that birthday present this year.
Dollhouse and Vehicle
Build or purchase a personalized Barbie dollhouse for the birthday girl. Simple to elaborate dollhouses are available that are built to 1/16 scale for the 11.5-inch doll. Furniture, curtains and wall coverings add to the personal touches that finish the home. Barbie can be driven around the house in one of the vehicles that are available from the Barbie line of toys from Mattel.
Clothing and Accessories
Ruth Handler, the doll creator, assigned Charlotte Johnson the task of creating Barbie's first clothing line, according to a website called Barbie Style. Purchased or handmade doll clothes for Barbie make great birthday gifts, and child-size clothing can be made for the little girl that enjoys wearing an outfit that matches that of her doll. Sewing and crochet patterns to make these outfits are available online for crafty parents or friends.
School Supplies
Wrap up a Barbie backpack or tote bag for the end of summer birthday gift. Young schoolgirls appreciate notebooks, pencils, erasers and containers with Barbie embellishments. A Barbie snack bag, purse, watch and sandals will complete her school ensemble.
Room Decor
Gift the Barbie fan with sheets, pillowcases, comforter, throw blanket or drapes for her dream bedroom. Wall borders with peel-and-stick Barbie figures, logos, flowers and butterflies can accent the walls of the birthday girl's room. A Barbie towel, face cloth and toothbrush can decorate her bathroom.
