Mother's Day Doll

One of my Mother's Day gifts arrived in a reusable cotton backpack.

I asked for and received Nines d'Onil's Pippa for Mother's Day from my daughter. Pippa arrived in a cotton backpack. Nines d'Onil's beautiful logo is on the front of the backpack. 

Pippa has green inset eyes.

She is an adorable 12-inch all-vinyl vanilla-scented doll with rooted brown curly-textured hair and green inset eyes. 

Pippa is a cutie patootie!

Her adorable Nines d'Onil original tagged dress features my favorite color (peach), and her lace-up light green shoes are real leather! 

Pippa has the usual 5 points of articulation. A version with articulated elbows and knees is available. 

No attention to detail was missed in Pippa's creation, but quality is a trademark for most dolls made in Spain. I love her so much that I purchased her brother, Pippo. 

Pippa's brother, Pippo, was shipped in a plastic bag (no box). My daughter said Pippa arrived this way, too. Thank goodness the mail handlers did not damage them.

Pippo was inside a bubble-wrapped clear plastic bag inside the blue plastic mailer.

He arrived less than a week after Mother's Day and is just as adorable as his sister. 

Pippo and his dog

Just look at that adorable face. Yes, I had to have him, too.

Pippo, also 12 inches tall, has twisted strands of reddish-brown yarn hair, brown inset eyes, a pug nose like his sister's, and an adorable smile. 

Pippo wears a tan and white striped knit shirt underneath a peach, white, and tan checkered shirt; blue jeans, and green leather lace-up shoes like his sister's.

He and his sister display well together, as illustrated next. 

Pippo, his dog, and his sister

Here is a close-up of the too-cute fraternal twins.

12-inch and 9-inch Mia arrived in December 2024 and in February 2025.

Nine d'Onil's Mia, in two sizes, preceded Pippa and Pippo's arrival. Between the two sculpts, Pippa and Pippo are my favorite.

Mia, Mia, Pippo, Pippo's Dog, and Pippa are seen in a group photo.

In a Muñecas, Poupees, and Dolls unboxing video, Allison Hernandez used the Spanish pronunciation, "nee-nez" for Nines and said her Spanish-speaking husband translates Nines d'Onil to Children of Onil.  Pippa and Pippo are not included in Allison's video, which might have been recorded before they were released.
