The first thing we noticed about the doll when we opened the box was the sweet strawberry scent ! I bought 3 for my great nieces, two of them are 3 and one is 4 years old and have birthdays in July, August, & October. They will love that this doll is scented. She is very sweet and pretty looking and even my 23 year old daughter wanted to keep one for herself :) haha. Rag dolls have always been a favorite of children of all ages for many years. I may purchase one more for my "sweet girl" for her birthday August 31st! :) Great gift, great doll, real great price!

Adorable!

These dolls are beautiful and simply adorable! I ordered two for my little granddaughters. The dolls are boxed in their own lovely packaging which will not be opened until Christmas, so I can't smell the strawberry scent yet, but I'm pleased with their beauty and quality. This brought back memories of my own daughter's original Strawberry Shortcake doll. My daughter is now 40, and I was most delighted to find this for her little girl! The other doll will go to my son's little girl. Thank you for this fine product!

Darling little doll

I purchased two of the Strawberries Shortcake dolls for my great niece and granddaughter who just turned 1 in the past two months. They are well made and don’t have any small removable parts that could be a choke hazard. My great niece loved hers and her mother was thrilled to have a doll fron her childhood for her daughter. I highly recommend them. I’ll be giving my granddaughter her doll after the first of the year when I fly out to see her.. I’m excited to have such a nice dill to give her.

Disappointed- Not the correct box/packaging

I was so happy when I saw this doll, because I had an obsession with Strawberry Shortcake when I was a little girl; so I decided to purchase this 40th anniversary one for my granddaughterto keep it boxed and on display. Well that idea was shattered when I received the doll and it was package in the wrong box! or at least what looks like a knock off box. The one pictured here clearly states 35th Birthday! My box does not have that and at the bottom where it saids “Classic Doll”.. mine has it in like three different languages, and this box simply only has it in one language. If I purchased the 40th Anniversary doll it should be stated on the box not having that defeats the purpose.. will probably send it back, and try to find it elsewhere (see photos attached of box ... MoreI was so happy when I saw this doll, because I had an obsession with Strawberry Shortcake when I was a little girl; so I decided to purchase this 40th anniversary one for my granddaughterto keep it boxed and on display.

Great memories and great gift!

Bought this for my 2 y.o. daughter this Christmas and she loved it. I'm 43 and the smell of this wonderful, nostalgic doll immediately took me back to the 2nd grade when I had one. Wonderful memories of a classic doll that's now hers to treasure. Any child will love this for sure! Thank you, VCS for carrying toys like this that really strike a sentimental chord with people like me. All quality products.

Has a CA Prop 65 warning on it

This doll has a CA Prop 65 warning on it for cancer causing agents. Why would toy manufacturers put cancer causing stain repellent on a child’s toy. Luckily I discovered this before I gave it to my granddaughter. I didn’t return this doll. I just threw it away!

Nostalgic treasure!

I bought this for my granddaughter’s Christmas stocking. It was so cute, I decided to purchase another one for my daughter’s niece. Both were hits with the children and with older family members as well. The doll is beautiful, soft, and smells like the sweetest strawberries. My granddaughter is a redhead so it’s always a bonus when we find red-headed dolls.

Take a moment and remember the love.

Strawberry Shortcake being hugged by your toddler as she makes her way to her little table and chairs for a tea party....Such sweet memories and this 40th Anniversary Edition does not spoil any of that! Beautifully made in replica with exception to the sparkly fabric for the dress. Extremely well made, nothing but 100% pleased. Even smells like Strawberry Shortcake....

This is a rag doll about to be the first doll for a young cousin in South America. The dollis simple, adorable and soft to cuddle and love.

The clerk at the pick up counter was about to go on her break, but stayed to get my on line order. She was so nice and helpful. I traveled from Manhattan to New Jersey for this doll. The doll's name is Strawberry Shortcake. She will get lots of love and hugs. While at JC Penney, I also bought children's clothes and a pillow on sale. It was a profitable visit to your store.

Very simple product. It’s value lies in the nostalgia it brings from childhood memories. Great strawberry smell.

Very simple product. It’s value lies in the nostalgia it brings from childhood memories. It is the same rag doll my sister had when she was little, with the smell and everything. I’m sure it will mean a lot to her. Great christmas gift.
