I was in tesco earlier and saw a black doll and it was only £8. i didnt pick it up as I thought it best to ask here first.

It was a lovely small doll it was called 'chubby doll' and they were smeely ones. as in smell nice. i think it was vanilla, but they also had plum and another flavour. they say from 2+ but do you think as they smelt that it would be a good idea to get??

I've just tried to do a search on their website but its not on there. i did see them a few months ago too.

I got one of those last year (i didn't pay £8) the smell can be seen as sensory, it wears off a bit.I think it mainly on the clothes, i'm sure a good wash would take the smell off if it was an issue. my dd never played with it but she's more a car/train kind of girl!!!i need to find it and smell it!! lol

Ofsted don't like it if you just have the one black doll... they prefer to see a range of colours and shades and sizes etc in your doll box.

This shows you are embracing multiculturalism rather than just getting a black doll for the sake of having one.

Also make sure the features are correct (not a white face painted black) or it can be seen as racist.

Hth :D

They do a beautiful boy and girl doll in vertbaudet (online) for £11 but if you find a £10 code you can get it delivered for £1 (hot uk deals.com). Don't put the £5.50 ones in your basket because the code only works on full priced items.



The dolls are beautiful, made of cloth with clothes you can take off plus the tshirts say UNICEF on them.

I sent 3 to a lad in Uganda who takes them to his local orphanage.

As long as it is save, you can use anything

Fantastic, thank you. Just ordered one, unfortunately they only had the grey one left. (which I think is the boy) £1 well spent.

The code is 2719 for anyone who wants to order one. Not sure how long it will last for.

I've got one of these from Tesco and it was only 2 or 3 pounds last year.

My mindee loves it and it's great because if she insists on taking it out it can just be wiped rather than have to go in the washer like some of the 'soft' babies I have.

Did you get the doll from Tesco Aly or did you go down the vertbaudet route?

Has anyone received their ragdoll yet? Do you think Vertbaudet will honour it?

son77 - use the vertbaudet search box and enter rag doll - the £11 one appears then (i had the same problem and thought they'd sold out)

i'm going to pop along to tesco and see if they've got them reduced.

Yes, I received an email informing me Vertbaudet were dispatching the doll and a further email saying they'd debited my card. I think they've cancelled some orders but not sure when the cut off point was.

These are £14 now, I've just tried to find a decent (one that makes them mega cheap :p ) code but can't find one at the moment.

ELC have black dolls at £8. I need to get some non-white dolls as out of four mindees only one is white.

I've got this, but it was only about £3 when I got it :) I got mine early last year and it still smells quite strong, but it's never been an issue or a problem. I would say go for it - it's still the cheapest black doll I've found :) and it gets played with alot (it's a little girl doll, btw) :blush:
