Oh, I can't for the life of me remember - DD1's birthday is in OCt, so it could have been her 2nd birthday, or that Christmas when she got her first one. DD2 was a bit younger as they were already in the house. We have TOO MUCH stuff so there is a moratorium on buying any new barbie stuff PMSL. If you want to get her some go for it, but just remember that all the tiny accessories are just the right size for babies mouths - I have had to fish endless shoes and handbags out of Alisters mouth.
