“I want it!” is what I would have said if I were still in Kindergarten, and could get away with screaming all my demands. But now, as I have matured substantially (I hope!), I calmly tell myself less aggressively that I have to have them. The “them” that I am referring to, are the widely popular Momiji (pronounced ‘mom-ee-jee’) dolls.

The first ever collection of Momiji dolls were created in the UK just a little over four years ago in 2005.  Having to start off in a small office in the heart of a small town, it’s astounding to see that nothing about Momiji is small today.  Having expanded globally, Momiji has designers all across the globe (Austria, Malaysia, Australia, Chile, Thailand, Germany, Canada, Slovenia to name but a few…) Inspired by friendship and kindness, Momiji dolls are all about filling life with meaningful messages and memories.

These one-of-a kind dolls are never around for very long, with new collections launched all the time! With a teeny folded message card in every hand painted doll (intended for your own special message), it’s no wonder that these dolls are famous for “spreading the love”.  Each with their very own personalities, stories and styles, Momiji dolls are perfect for almost any occasion (collecting, to give away as gifts, to use in goodie bags and also fabulous “just because”)!

Momiji Doll Giggles with Gift Box, $12.99

After much contemplation I couldn’t decide on one single Momiji doll that I like best, but Giggles here is at the top of my list!  With such a bubbly name, cute outfit and charming smile, I just couldn’t resist. Giggles, along with a select group of Momiji dolls come in a “takeaway” noodle style gift box and include a free badge and sticker. The perfect gift without the hassle of wrapping!

Momiji Doll Favorite Person, $11.99

Her name says it all. This intricate Momiji doll is the perfect gift to give and receive, showing  best friends, family members and loved ones that they are special and your favorite people!

Momiji Doll Dance Dance Dance, $11.99

Not all Momiji Dolls call for a special occasion,  it’s always fun to buy one of these super cute dolls “just because”! As a girl who spontaneously breaks into dance, I was immediately drawn to this delicately clothed Momiji doll cleverly named “Dance Dance Dance”. I might just collect all of my favorite hobbies ! Next on the list, Momiji Doll Dreaming.
