Thinking Ahead to Valentine's Day

It's the perfect time to realize that love is in the air!

Time to think of a special something to give to someone special.

 

How about Splat the Cat holding a big red heart?

To learn more about these and loads of other possibilities, go to our MerryMakers site and have a look around.

 

Sure to prompt an "awwww!" and an immediate cuddlefest by all doll recipients.
