From hot pink slides and faux fur stoles to pink and white pumps and vivid vinyl handbags, it seems that over the past four and a half decades, Barbie celebrated each year by simply adding another fun and fabulous accessory to her wardrobe.
No wonder Barbie has been an integral part of the lives of millions of women since 1959 - becoming the most popular fashion doll in the world.
In honor of Barbie doll's milestone, look for the 45th Barbie Anniversary Collection by Hallmark - a new line of gift items, cards and keepsake ornaments that celebrate friendship, fashion and fun and capture that special bond only women can share.
"Celebrating 45 years of trend-setting fashion, this collection incorporates nostalgic images from the official Barbie archives, which will delight the imaginations of Barbie doll fans around the world," says Greg Raymond, vice president of license acquisitions at Hallmark.
For your next soiree, plan a complete martini-style party with glassware and a unique Bunko game set designed with a high heels and handbags theme.
Don't forget invitations that herald the joy of shoes and shopping. Offer nostalgic Barbie- themed notecards or candles as special gifts and surprise the guest of honor with her very own limited-edition Barbie Keepsake Ornament, inspired by the 45th Anniversary Barbie doll by
Bob Mackie.
With the introduction of the 45th Barbie Anniversary Collection by Hallmark, fashion fanatics and Barbie doll buffs alike will be able to celebrate their own birthdays and other occasions, or give a very special gift in trend-setting Barbie style.
