GIVEAWAY MONDAY
***Random.org has chosen our winner - it is comment #74 - Anita Yancy - CONGRATULATIONS! ****
I am so excited about today's giveaway. It's a gorgeous Karito Kids doll (retail price $99), complete with an outfit and a chapter book that teaches your child all about your doll and her heritage. These are 21 inch dolls that look like American Girl dolls, but they have a more international focus and a charity angle. Each doll comes with a special code that enables your child to create her online avatar, like a WebKinz.
I have one of these beautiful dolls available for giveaway. To be entered to win, just leave a comment with your email address and the story of how the child who you would give this doll to got their current favorite. For extra chances to win, you can link to this contest on your blog and/or subscribe to my feed. I'll pick the lucky winner using random.org on Monday, September 22.
Bella has Piper the Australian surfer girl; she sleeps right next to her treasured Julie American Girl Doll. Each doll comes from a different part of the world and comes with a book illustrating her heritage. In addition to Piper, the other dolls are Ling from China, Pita from Mexico, Lulu from Kenya, Zoe from New York City, and Gia from Italy. A portion of the purchase price of the dolls and their accessories is donated to charity, and your child chooses the charity after learning about it online. The dolls come with a code that you activate on a website where you can play educational games that earn you points towards more charity donations. Most 18" doll clothes fit them.There's still time to enter my Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD giveaway too...
Other great giveaways going on right now:

Well, this would BE the first doll for my little girl on the way (due any day now!) and I'm sure would be a favorite. I have all boys, so I am getting a little excited myself at the thought of playing dolls again!

My daughter's favorite doll right now is my old cabbage patch kid. She likes to drag her around by her hair. Poor thing.

Beautiful dolls and giveaway.
My very girly, doll-loving 2 year old daughter would so love one of these dolls. I much prefer the true multicultural focus of this brand as compared to AG.
My 4 1/2 year old daughter would love a doll like Ling from China that looks more like her than others that are on the market. My daughter doesn't have a favorite doll that she always plays with but her constant companion is a stuffed bear who she has loved since she was 5 months old. Perhaps this could become her new favorite doll. Thanks for the giveaway!
My 5 yr old would LOVE this. She'll be 6 on September 18th and this would be a perfect gift for her. She loves these dolls, the American Girl dolls and the Corelle dolls but I'm a single mom and they're just soooo expensive!
So her current favorites - she has 3 right now - are all just generic Wal-Mart dolls but she still loves them. :) She even spends the change she earns for chores on buying real baby stuff at our local dollar store.
Oh, forgot to add...I am subscribed to your feed.
Thanks for offering the giveaway!
Oh - I'm entering for Faith, who is sitting right here next to me dictating that I must enter IMMEDIATELY!!! This is our first introduction to these dolls - they are PRECIOUS!!! We've just hit the phase where older dolls, rather than baby dolls - are "the thing" so Faith is really, really excited.
Oh - I just read the part about how they got their current favorite. I blogged about picking out "Elmo" who is an American Girl doll - we got her in NYC. Faith obviously named her. She hasn't gotten another doll yet that needs a name - I'm waiting to see if she's changed in that area, or if we'll get a "Cookie" or a "Big Bird."

My daughters favorite doll is actually a Build-a-Bear! She has dolls but she plays with it more. She got it for her second birthday!

When my daughter was 18 months old, a cute little doll was handed down to her from her older cousin. At 18 months old she named her doll all on her own "Baby Carson" Carson being our last name. How cute is that? She is now 6 and she still sleeps with Baby Carson.
My daughter's favorite doll is actually Julie from American Girl Place...she got it when we went there this year for a friend's birthday party. They both (my daughter and Julie) have matching pajamas, which is really cute. She would love this doll as it looks to have the adventurous nature that Julie has.

My daughter has a few favorite dolls, but the one she has been sleeping with lately and taking with her is the Nana Star doll, which I got to review on my blog last month. Another one that she sleeps with is her Mi Abuelita doll my mom found for her, it sings nursery rhymes in Spanish which is great for her own heritage. Because she knows my mom but has never met her own abuelita in Guatemala my mom got her this grandmother doll until she could get to go to meet her other grandmother who lives very far away.

My daughter got her favorite doll from my sister, it's a French doll that she got on her trip to France.

My daughter actually loves doggy stuffed animals right now, but she would love this doll!
This would actually be the first doll for my best friend's beautiful little girl--and a great 2nd birthday present for a girl who's about to be a big sister for the first time :-)

This doll would be for my 8 year old who doesn't currently own one of those dolls (she would be so thrilled!) her favorite doll she has is her Kit American Girl doll she loves the history that goes along with them.

My daughter doesn't have a favorite doll, well actually ALL her dolls are her favorites. She watches me mother our 1 year old and imitate's my mothering skills. She just turned 4 and is just starting to understand computers and the fun they can provide, this would be a great way to show her how educational they can be too. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Girl, I'm not sure how we've missed out on hearing about these dolls. American Girl is all the rave in our household. Nikki is Courtney's favorite AG doll. She takes her everywhere.
Courtney LOVES anything that becomes active on the internet so this would be a big plus!
Oh, I'm going to make a linkable button for my sidebar as well. :)
I would love this for my daughter who is 8. She currently loves her webkinz dolls.
samsakara@twcny.rr.com
My 5 year old daughter would love this. She doesn't currently have a favorite doll of her own, though she's partial to mommy's (ie MY) vintage Strawberry Shortcake doll and Love-A-Lot Carebear.

my granddaughter is 5 and has a favorite doll she got for Christmas last year, the doll has a lot of hair which she loves to comb and try to braid

These dolls are great. I love that they take the American Girl concept a step further.
My daughter's current favorite, Dolly, was a birthday gift from her grandmother. She isn't too attached yet, but likes to give Dolly hugs.
My girl has yet to really have a doll. She's only really gotten stuffed animals. Her current (enduring) fav is a stuffed dragon named (aptly) "Draggy". He's been her love since she was 2 (she's now 6).

My 2.5 year old daughter could do with a beautiful girly doll to counterbalance the 'Dodo.' Dodo, while cute in a strange sort of way, is just pathetic now. To learn the story of 'Dodo', please visit http://sulali.blogspot.com/2008/07/fais-dodo.html
Besides, it might be better for me if her hands are full with a lovely doll. That way she'll stop torturing her baby sister!

My granddaughter's current favorite is an elephant that some friends gave her. It is soft and cuddly, but she is ready to move up to a real doll! Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!
sandra jensen
My daughter's current favorite is a tie between a Groovy Girl and a Dalmation Puppy. Both were birthday presents.

My daughter's favorite doll is a generic naked plastic baby. Given her interest in reading and other cultures, one of these dolls would be a big improvement.
My daughter's doll was a gift from my grandmother...a cabbage patch baby. His name from his "birth certificate" is, no joke, Sebastian Denzel.
My daughter's favorite is a doll is the one that her grandma gave her but I think if she won one of these it would be her new favorite. She is getting into the older doll phase and these are right up her ally. Thanks katie_mmartin at yahoo dot com.
I have an 18 month old who is just starting to really love dolls. She has a little $5 doll from Walmart that has a binky and she thinks it's so funny to put it in her doll's mouth. This would be such a fun keepsake for her.
My 2 year old daughter has 3 baby dolls that she loves equally-no favorites for her, I guess. She loves to pretend to put them to sleep by rocking with them and humming to them. It's so cute to watch! She would love to have a Karito Kid doll.

I subscribe. I love these unique and precious dolls which are the ultimate. Thanks for this lovely giveaway. My daughter has a soft stuffed teddy bear which she loves but this would be ideal.
My daughter Grace is 8 years old and doesn't have one of these dolls but I know she would love one of them. I had not heard about them before. I think it is great how these dolls teach about other cultures.What a great idea.
She loves her American Girl dolls and plays with them all the time.The thing I like most is how they have a story with every doll. Her favorite is Julie.

My daughter's favorite doll is a little baby she found in her grandmother's toy box; the doll is probably a cast-off from one of her cousins. She would love to have a new doll to take care of.

My daughters now favorite was given to her by santa last year.
well I have a little gal who doesn't have her first own yet and this would be special- yep little bears and puppets but she also plays with everyone elses and borrows theirs...so it would be nice for her to have her own doll
My daughter has a fake American Girl doll, since I'm too cheap to buy the really expensive ones. But she also bought her own immitation American girl doll at a garage sale. She and her best friend love to dress them up and exchange clothes and do their hair. She would just adore a new international doll to be their friend.
My 3 yr. old daughter would loooove this. She is huge on all dolls and babies, she never seems to have a favorite but has to have one with her almost all of the time! I am subscribed to your feed too. Thanks for the giveaway!

This doll would be loved by my two year old niece whom I am raising. She has two baby dolls so far and they are both just dolls that I picked up at Savers, but she loves to love on them and pretend feed them etc.
I would love Piper the Australian surfer girl for my daughter as I am Australian. Her current favorite doll is "Miss Kelly Baby" that her former teacher gave her for her 3rd birthday.

The Karito Dolls are fabulous. I not only appreciate that they are a wonderful toy, but their various cultures are so important! If I am fortunate enough to win this lovely doll, it would go to my niece. She has a Fairy Barbie that she received from her mom a couple of years ago. How thrilled I would be to give her this doll at Christmas time. Please enter me in your drawing. I appreciate it! Thanks, Cindi

My daughter's favorite dolls right now would be her Little Mommy's she has two that look just alike that she call's her twins, but we just went to a craft festival this past weekend and she adores the American Girls so I know she would LOVE these! This would be perfect for Christmas money is tight this year! Thanks!
This is such a GREAT giveaway! My daughter's favorite "doll" right now is her Pink Poodle Webkinz. She named her Allie and has really become like a little Mom to her.
Thanks so much for the opportunity!
My daughter's favorite doll is a Barbie dressed like Sandy from Grease. She takes her everywhere. We play the soundtrack in the car and the two of them are bopping along in the backseat. I can't tell you how many times my girly has come out of bed with the impression of Sandy's tiny hand mushed into her cheek.
We only have two dolls. One is a Fisher-Price Mommy and Me doll that someone gave us b/c their child didn't want it anymore. My child renamed it "Winnie the Pooh Baby" (no idea why!). We also have a purple rag doll that I won for my child in a poetry contest :).
I would love to win one of the dolls from Karito Kids...especially Ling, because I used to work in China before my kids were born!
Lulu from Kenya is pretty cool too! I work with a woman from Kenya and we have been invited to her house twice for tasty Kenyan food!!!

My daughters each have a cloth doll that I sewed for them by hand and an American Girl doll. They also love to play with a china doll from my childhood. The doll that you are offering looks really neat! caremail1@gmail.com
This would be a wonderful surprise for Grace since we took a family vacation to Italy this summer. We could play and recall all the fun we had there! jeanmarie
jeamrie@optonline.net
ooo, a new fun doll!! These are beautiful and would make a wonderful addition to Ally's lunch cafe. The AG dolls, the other baby dolls and the build a bears all get to go to her restaurant to have lunch. It is a fave game in our house! We would love to have a real International kind of doll too! Thanks for the great giveaway and keep on writing Vanessa :-) doularoseanne@aol.com
My 2-year-old girl loves dolls of all kinds. Most of hers are my dolls from my childhood -- Barbie, My Friend Mandy, and my favorite regular baby doll, Pammy. So sentimental and sweet. Thanks for the giveaway!

Roo's favorite baby doll was a freebie from a garage sale... I think it might have originally been a Rainbow Brite but someone loved it nearly to death. Its hair has been shorn, it's been gnawed on and drawn on. It's pretty gross looking, frankly!
Piper would definitely be a step up...the Karito Kids are gorgeous. Gia is my favorite because she looks most like Roo, but I know Roo would pick Piper or Zoe because she loves blondes...
We've never seen these dolls before but they look absolutely wonderful. My little girl is 16 months old and LOVES dolls already so I'm sure any of them would be an instant favorite. I like Lulu and Pita the best.

My daughter is turning 6 and she so wants an American Girl doll...I like that the Karito Kid Doll has the charity angle....
I haven't seen these before - so cute! My 3 year old daughter loves any doll she gets. Her faves are anything she can undress ;)
Well this would be our baby girl Helana's first doll ever and I'm sure her favorite, she was just born on September 9th! I'm soo happy we finally had a baby girl, we've been blessed!

Gia is such a pretty doll!
My daughter has a leftover Bratz doll from her older sister that she is fixated on. Ugh.
Oh my granddaughters fav is just a doll we bought at a garage sale this summer, she just loves it to death!
love the variety of dolls available!
My daughter would be excited. Thanks for the contest.
risanjax@metrocast.net
All the dolls are very beautiful! My mother-in-law collects dolls and I would like to start my own tradition. Thank you.
These dolls are so cute. Would love to win one. Please enter me. Thanks!
ayancey@dishmail.net

My daughter would go crazy for this doll, thanks for the chance
my daughter does nothing but talk about this doll
I found an african american doll with a torn body at a garage sale for $3.00. My granddaughter, Lauren, came over and watched me darn and thread weave the cloth body back together (Thank God for everyone who sets up garage sales!!!). She asked why Abby's hair was different from her own and we talked about hair for awhile. We then set up the princess tent (from another garage sale) over the couch cushions and Lauren carefully removed Abby's shoes and slept with her. Talking to her until she fell asleep. She told me the next morning how Abby needed pajamas. Lauren has several plastic dolls at home, but nothing like this.

My daughter's favorite doll is her Cabbage Patch Doll that we bought her a couple of years ago. This doll has to go everywhere with her and she even has accessories for it so she can act like a mommy. Thanks for a great giveaway, these dolls are really beautiful and my daughter would love them.

I would give it to my goddaughter whose favorite doll right now is a plush lion which I gave her last year.
I'd give this doll to my daughter for her birthday next month. She doesn't have a favorite doll as of yet.She does, however, have a lovey- her stuffed cow, that she got from her grandparents the day she was born. She's slept with it every night since, and has bloody well loved it to pieces already. She's only turning 3! LOL

Beautiful dolls and giveaway. Thanks!!
I absolutely Love your Dolls. My Daughter has a birthday coming up in October and I would love to give her one of these. Thanks for the opportunity.
My daughter got her favorite doll from a thrift store! Thanks for the chance to win! I know she would love this doll!
I have given my daughter 2 of the American Girl books, but we haven't been able to afford any of the dolls yet.
If the contest is still open, I would love to enter - my daughter would love this doll.

This would be for my youngest sister. I gave my second youngest sister my old American Girl doll from when I was little, but now I don't have a doll to give to my youngest sister. Feel kind of bad b/c this Christmas she will be the same age that my sister and I were when we received our nice ("treasured") dolls. This would be a huge blessing!
my daughter's favorite doll is fancy nancy. we are obsessed with that book and were quite excited when the doll came to target!

What a great giveaway,all of the dolls are beautiful.My daughter collects dolls and she would look wonderful with them
My sweet baby cousin is 3 and was born in a homeless shelter. The family has since gotten on their feet and moved into an apartment but still have very little money. Her first and only doll is a very old Raggedy Ann doll that was donated to the shelter. She would love a brand new doll!
Those dolls are all so cute. I wish I had them growing up, but I guess my daughter will share with me.

My niece would love to have a doll like this. So far she only has babydolls and groovy girl. I think she'd love to have an older girl doll.
I don't think my daughter even has a doll...actually. She always asks for stuffed animals and she has a TON but I really think she would enjoy this doll.
