When I was a kid...well I guess it's debatable whether or not I'm still a kid sometimes. When I was younger I LOVED paper dolls. My mom used to get them for me by the book. My favorite was one that had a couple dolls and a book full of costumes through the decades. So fun!
Anyhow, not that I have a child of my own, but I imagine paper dolls are still a blast and when I saw this awesomely unique set of Alice In Wonderland cut outs, I knew instantly I would've wanted them.
Best part? They're only 3 bucks and you get to print them out yourself! So within 24 hours, you've got a great Christmas gift for that little one in your life.
Alice set a little too dark for ya? Well there's plenty of other, less serious, paper dolls and toys at the Fantastic Toys Etsy shop! Check out this colorful Gingerbread Cottage Paper Playset, or this adorable Dollhouse Paper Furniture that can go with this awesome paper Dollhouse ($10).
So for just $3 (or $10 for the dollhouse), a printer and some cardstock, you've got one of the coolest (IMO) presents ever! How can you beat this? Cheap, fun, imaginative and easy. I might get some for myself to play with.
Obviously, I love these. And this is partly why:

[My b... it doesn't require it!]
Know whats REALLY funny? The first thing I thought of when I saw this was that picture your mom posted!
I'm crazy!
I loved paper dolls when I was a little girl! They came in blocks, like little notebooks, and my grandma would buy them for me and I played for hours!
I also love Alice in the Wonderland, it's one of my favorite books (and movies) ever!
