Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Mirrors
  • My Twinn Accessories
  • My Twinn Baby Dolls
  • My Twinn Boy Dolls
  • My Twinn Dolls
  • My Twinn Friend Doll
  • My Twinn Matching Outfits
  1. Step 1

    Understand that My Twinn dolls are dolls that are custom made to resemble your child.

  2. Step 2

    Visit the My Twinn Web site or call 1-800-4-MYTWINN to obtain a catalog. Dolls can only be ordered through the company.

  3. Step 3

    Know that a My Twinn doll starts at $98.95 for a non-poseable doll that is ordered before October. Prices rise the closer you get to Christmas. The most expensive doll is $169.95, a poseable doll ordered in mid to late December.

  4. Step 4

    Notice that My Twinn dolls provide customized hair, skin, eyes, moles, freckles, birthmarks, eyelashes, eyebrows and face shape. You must send in a color photo of your child with your order. You specify how you want the doll's hair cut and styled. All dolls are 23 inches tall.

  5. Step 5

    Look at some of the outfits you can order. Outfits come in two pieces - one for the doll and a matching one for your child. A wide variety of outfits is available and prices range from about $40 to $70 for the sets. Accessories are also available.

  6. Step 6

    Recognize that My Twinn dolls are also available for boys.

  7. Step 7

    Consider buying a "When She Was a Child" My Twinn doll. The company will take an old childhood photo of an adult of any age and create a doll to resemble the person as a child.

  8. Step 8

    Make sure you look at the My Twinn babies as well. You can order a customized My Twinn baby to resemble a baby or photo of a child as a baby, or you can order one of 15 pre-made dolls. The babies are 20 inches long and cost $89.95. Clothing and accessories are available for My Twinn babies as well.

  9. Step 9

    Remember that you can order a My Twinn customized doll up until December 15 and still receive it in time for Christmas.

Tips & Warnings
  • Consider ordering an additional My Twinn doll as a friend to the custom My Twinn.
  • Wrap the doll in a box with a small mirror on top, since the doll will almost be like a mirror. This will also help young children understand the resemblance.

on 1/22/2009 I ordered a My Twinn for my granddaughter for Christmas and it is gorgeous. She hasn't put her down since getting her and I am so pleased. The doll looks just like my granddaugter. I ordered her in November and sent three pics of her. They did a great job!!!!!
