I bought the worry dolls for myself. I love the idea of the dolls and the culture behind it. Very well made for being so tiny. I appreciate the craftsmanship that went into making each doll special.

I LOVE these little worry dolls! They are great as a decoration on a gift or just to give a friend who is going through a hard time. My granddaughters sleep with one under their pillows, to take their worries away.
