Okay, so me and my mom had like this reallyyy deep conversation about her childhood and what it was like compared to what i have. Anyway, it made me realize everything that she does for me. So for her birthday--which is in July--i want to do something special. When i was talking to her she mentioned how she ALWAYS wanted a doll called baby thumbelina. She said how she belived for like 3 years that if you wished on a star and didn't tell anyone your wish would come true. And everynight that was what she wished for..that doll. So as a birthday present or something i was wondering, would it be weird if i got her that doll? Shes going to turn 45. I know shes old, but its kind of something she never forgot. Also, where can i find a cheap REAL one and one thats not damaged or like broken or has anything wrond with it.

Lola answered Thursday June 5 2008, 10:17 am: I've never heard something as sweet as your thought here. Seriously girl, if i was your mother, i'd simply be ecstatic if you got me that gift. The point here is not that she's too old or too young, its just the thought that matters and how you were listening to her and wish for her wishes to satisfy and come true, so you'd make her happy, so seriously, this is so special. So definitely, get the gift and go for it.
But about where to get the gift, i can't really help you with that, cause i'm from egypt here, so i'm not really from your area. lol. [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]
notyourmomsadvice answered Thursday June 5 2008, 3:15 am: First of all--45 isn't old. LOL. It's not weird it's extremely sweet and thoughtful. Your mom has obviously done a good job with you and this will show her that you really do listen.
Go to Google and put in "purchase baby thumbelina doll" and sort through the ones you find. There are tons more on eBay than the one I posted above. Now finding one that is in "perfect condition" will probably be expensive but minor flaws is not a big deal anyway in this case. You can also print a picture of the baby doll from eBay and if you have antique stores in your area they might have them too. Also check local garage sales. A lot of people clean out their attics and don't realize what they have. [ notyourmomsadvice's advice column | Ask notyourmomsadvice A Question ]
I don't think it's weird at all I think that's sweet. And it'll show that you care about her. I suggest checking on ebay they always have old stuff that you can't find anywhere else. [ QueenofDiamonds's advice column | Ask QueenofDiamonds A Question ]
