The Holidays are literally around the corner and nothing warms my heart more than buying Christmas gifts for the children in my life. I wanted to share some of the beautiful toys I will be gifting this year, because I know you will love them, too!!

 
 

Optimistic Julie Albright has warm, lifelike brown eyes that open and close smoothly, and realistic long, straight blond hair styled with a tiny braid at the side. She comes in an authentic 1970s-style outfit!

• A lemon-yellow crocheted vest

• A tank top with a groovy peace-sign graphic

• Bell-bottom jeans with funky floral insets on each leg

• Platform sandals

• Underwear

The 18" Julie doll has a soft cotton body, and her movable head and limbs are made of smooth vinyl. Includes the paperback book The Big Break, the first book of Julie’s stories, abridged and richly illustrated in full color.

 
 

Julie Pinball Machine

Pinball arcades were incredibly popular in the ’70s, and Julie loves to try to beat the high score!

The Flip Side pinball machine works just like a real one, with flashing lights, a digital scorekeeper, a plunger to launch the metal ball, buttons to control the flipper arms on either side, bumpers, and realistic machine sounds. It’s made of real metal and wood.

 
 

Julie Christmas Outfit

Christmas holds a special place in Julie’s heart. Whether she’s making holiday crafts with her mom or visiting the Fairmont Hotel to get hot chocolate with her dad and her sister, Tracy, she loves to dress up for the occasion.

Outfit includes:

• An authentic ’70s-style pink velvet dress with rickrack and crochet trim, a mock turtleneck, and balloon sleeves that make Julie feel fancy

• A black satin bow for her hair

• A pair of opaque white tights to keep her legs warm

• A pair of black patent Mary Jane shoes with real metal buckles

 
 

Julie Christmas Fireplace

There’s no fireplace for Santa to come down to in the new apartment that Julie moves to after her parents’ divorce, so her mom gets a faux fireplace instead!

Includes:

• A traditional printed cardboard fireplace, including a faux fire and hooks on the mantle to hang stockings

• A hand-painted real ceramic Christmas tree that really lights up!

• Two red felt stockings with Julie’s name embroidered on the front of one and her sister Tracy’s on the other

• A real ceramic plate with a printed holly decoration to hold two gingerbread cookies for

Santa to munch on

• A glass of milk for Santa to drink

• A note card to place by the milk and cookies for Santa
