Cuddle and Kind Hand Knit Doll Review
*Edited to add: My daughter is now 2 (*insert ugly cry*) and still loves her Ivy. I started to notice her head was getting very floppy due to being so well-loved and reached out to Cuddle and Kind to simply see if this would be an issue when I come to wash it. They actually replied that they would be more than happy to send me a brand new Ivy!! All I had to do was use their pre-paid label and send old Ivy back to them. How awesome! Their customer service went above and beyond!
I actually won this adorable hand knit doll, Ivy the Bear, in a giveaway. I remember thinking how glad I was because there was NO way I was spending that kind of money on a doll. After receiving it in the mail, I will TOTALLY spend that kind of money on another doll in the future for baby #2.
These dolls are soooo much prettier in person. The pictures don’t do her justice. My hubby wasn’t impressed until we received it in the mail and now he can’t stop talking about how unbelievably soft it is!
My daughter never took to a “lovey” until now and I always felt like I was missing out on something. Silly, I know. But it’s so cute to see her snuggle with her bear and walk around with it. She calls it her, “brr” and needs it for bedtime or for snuggling during storytime. She loves to give her bear hugs and kisses. It’s the cutest thing ever!
This doll is considered the “little” version; however, don’t let that fool you. It is the perfect size for my 17 month old! The little version is 13 inches and costs $50. The “regular” version is 20 inches and costs $70. If you sign up for emails though, you can get free shipping on your next purchase!
One of the best things about this company is their heart for giving back. For each doll bought, they give 10 meals to children around the world in hunger.
Each doll is handmade in Peru. You can absolutely tell the difference in quality on this doll compared to most others. It is soft yet so durable. My daughter takes hers everywhere and is by no means gentle with it and it has had no problem holding up to her.
The dolls are hand knit with 100% cotton and include hypoallergenic felt details and stuffing. Perfect for your little one to snuggle next to! The dolls are machine-washable on gentle but they recommend a simple hand-wash and air dry to be safe.
They even offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If your kiddo isn’t a fan, you simply send it back and receive your refund.
Overall, we LOVE our Ivy doll. She is soft, durable, and gives back. I highly recommend!
