jaxenro Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Last year in July my wife and I were watching old commercials on youtube (I know we are boring) and the Beautiful Crissy commercial from 1969 came up. She said she had wanted one for Christmas but didn't get it. So I found one on eBay, wrapped it in Christmas wrap, and put it on her bed all set up as a surprise. Said Santa had a 49 year detour and delivered it as a Christmas in July gift. Of course now she has a whole wardrobe and more clothes than I do, and I work for a clothing company. So did any of you have one of these back in the day, or today? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Neat gift! I was in my 30s 49 years ago, so missed the Crissy craze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskava Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I had a Chrissy. I loved that doll! She had such beautiful red hair. She had a floppy felt hat that my dog chewed up and I was so upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryKate Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 What a lovely thing to do for your wife! Ihad Velvet, Crissy's blonde...cousin? Sister? I loved that doll. I'm the oldest of 7 kids so I think it got handed down or given away, but I've occasionally checked on Ebay to see about replacing her. I haven't actually bought one yet.
