A commemorative website celebrating everyone’s favorite doll from the the 80s, the Cabbage Patch Kids, launched September 1 at CabbagePatchKids25.com
Savvy Housewife was fortunate to receive one of these special Limited Edition 25th Anniversary Cabbage Patch Kids (which sell for $29.99). You may want to buy a special commemorative Cabbage Patch Kid for your own child soon as Christmas will be here before you know it and supplies are limited. Rumor has it that our little guy is awaiting his big reveal December 25 and is safely stowed away in Santa’s secret headquarters (the hall closet).
Look at this handsome fellow! He’s a specially released commemorative doll, made to be an exact reproduction of the original Cabbage Patch dolls that hit toy shelves and stole little girls’ hearts back in 1983. Each limited edition Cabbage Patch Kid comes with a commemorative play silver spoon and a commemorative silver-stamped 25th Anniversary Birth Certificate and adoption papers.
I have to admit that, shudder, I never owned a real Cabbage Patch Kids doll. By the time they became popular I was 13 years old and in 8th grade and, frankly, too cool to admit I really wanted one. So all in the name of “coolness” I lost out.
So did you have a Cabbage Patch doll? You can relive the special memories you have of your kid with everyone at the Cabbage Patch 25th Anniversary Website.
That little boy has unfortunate hair.
I did have a CPK, Lucy was her name. I’ll be 30 this month, so I was 5 when they came out. I wonder if the anniversary ones have weird hair like the originals. For example, Lucy had pigtails, so she only had hair (yarn) down her center part and along her hairline. Later they came out with Cornsilk CPK’s. You could do their hair. But the orignials are the ones that still hold a place in my heart.
