Barbie Doll - A Timeless Classic

They are one of the oldest known toys, but we will look at one that's more of a modern classic. The Barbie 2009 Holiday Doll is a wonderful way to introduce someone to the world of Barbie collectibles. It's also an ideal gift for that special lady on your list, young or just young at heart.

The Holiday Barbie is about 13 inches tall, while her glittering pink dress elegantly flows out to a generous 11 inches. Any doll lover will see she is not just a normal doll dressed in such regalia, but rather the belle of a festive holiday ball. There is also a Holiday 2009 Barbie Doll - African American available for those looking for another doll to add to their collection.

Both versions maintain the timeless feel of Barbie, while giving her an updated look. Each one also comes with a dress, shoes, earrings and display stand; all showcased in a wintry, pink box suitable for display. Another thing that makes the 2009 Holiday Barbie even more special is that she is celebrating her 50th anniversary. It has been a half-century since girls the world over were captivated by this classic doll. This doll also marks the 21st in the series of holiday collectibles. With her gem-inspired accessories and beautiful dress, any doll lover will delight in playing with Holiday Barbie. However, it is also a collectible, that will only keep its top value by remaining in the original and unopened box.

If you know the youngster receiving it will want to play with it, then a good option is to buy two - one for playtime and one as a keepsake. Either way the 2009 Holiday Barbie is guaranteed to be a gift that's treasured for years to come.
