This weekend was full of more donations! I shared I received 6 in the mail on Friday and this weekend I received 6 more American Girls Dolls from local families donating to HELLO DOLLY, with love. Along with several beautiful outfits and shoes! My first inclination is to say, "I'm shocked at the response". And yet, I'm really not. There are just so many kind people in the world and I'm am more aware of that each day! I am extremely grateful and excited! My original goal was 50. I think Im going to change that to 100!
Now I need some brainstorming ideas from those who have leads or good thoughts on my next challenge. I want each of these adorable American girls Dolls to be presented to there new owners in a beautiful presentation. Clean, sweet and cheery!
Here is what I hope to offer. Each doll, completely perfect from head to toe, with a darling outfit and shoes to match. I would like to have them each placed in a pretty box, with a sticker that says HELLO DOLLY, with Love and a personal note. I would also like to include 1-2 additional outfits, a proper American Girl hair brush and some hair assessors. These dolls with be presented to children in the hospital. I know personally, as a parent it's difficult to leave your child while they are in the hospital. So, some extras with their new doll would add so much.
I am hoping to find a 20x8x6 box. I'm having a difficult time finding the proper size. I can find brown shipping boxes, but hope to find something prettier, perhaps a white box, or a box with a lid. I would like to wrap the dolls in pink and orange tissue and place the two outfits and hair accessories in the pink organza bag, and placed in the box with the doll.
I have found a source to purchase the tissue and the organza bags, but I can't find a proper box to add to the perfect presentation.
Any leads would be great! Thanks!
