Traditional Guatemalan worry dolls share the love as festive ornaments by the Lopez Garcia Family. Each doll in the set of six is crafted by hand and wears a handwoven skirt and headdress. "The idea is to trust each doll with whatever troubles you. It is said that during the night, while we sleep, the dolls will whisper the solution to our troubles," says Ana from the Lopez Garcia Family. The set of six arrives in a hand-loomed cotton pouch.
Legend has it that the Maya Sun God gave princess Ixmucané the gift of solving people's problems. With time people started making dolls in Ixmucané's honor and they would tell her their woes, hoping she would solve them through the dolls.
Please expect slight variations in color and size as each doll is crafted by hand with available materials, making each one unique.

I love these worry dolls. There were an excellent value and I am giving (some of them) as gifts to my closest friends during this horrendous virus pandemic. Definitely recommend them. They are quality and beautiful!

I gave these to six different friends and they all loved them. One sent a photo of hers on her Christmas tree.

I love giving gifts. Mostly to children I cross paths with in my travels. Like the child who is fussy or crying or having a tantrum in the airport, on a plane, in a supermarket. I always keep mini pullback cars or mini bubbles in my purse and coat pockets so they re easily accessible for me to grab on the spot. When I came across these worry dolls, 100 of them, I felt like I hit the jackpot. I have a few in every pocket and purse and everyone I give one to is instantly happy!!! I m talking children AND adults!! It puts a smile on even the crankiest child s (or adult s for that matter!) face. These are unique and special and beautifully and lovingly made. What a cool way to turn frowns upside down! Adults in particular love the folklore of telling the sweet little doll your worries and then putting her under your pillow and when you wake up the next morning you just may have answers. For me, that is a big bonus, because just that little doll, all by herself, is full of joy and love.
