What did other people give you or what did you give yourself?
I gave myself books- one on 19th century fashion dolls (with pictures of body types), an old Guinness Book of Records paperback from when they were cool, NKOTB novels and crappy vintage jewelry. If the books continue to be good I might give them wooden crates for a DIY shelf.
Doll wise I gave myself Astranova Monster on sale.
