    I really hate Bratz dolls, but my two daughters have been given quite a few as birthday presents over the last few years. I have confiscated these and now have a collection of these, brand new,unopened, in a press. Daughters know why I ban them in our house. What to do with these awful things? Public bonfire?:rolleyes:

    Give them to a charity shop? Or to one of the childrens hospitals?

    sell them on adverts.ie or ebay?
    What is bad about them? I am not very familiar with them as my 2 are only babies.

    They all look like they have had extreme plastic surgery and wear very little.
    They are not a look for girls to aspire to and they are banned in this house also.

    Donate then to a charity shop or look at selling them online to an adult collector esp if they are unopened.

    If they are unopened you should keep them for a few years. 'Mint in the box' toys can go for big bucks if you wait long enough. ;)

    Public bonfire works for me. Hate Bratz.

    I would certainly not give them to the children's hospital. Anything but that.

    Sell them on eBay and let the kids spend money on something more appropriate.

    they are a disgrace tbh. my daughter is only 3 and I dread to think thats the image she'll ever aspire to. As said already sell on ebay if you can and let your kids use the cash to buy more appropriate toys.

    I wouldn't donate them to a hospital tbh, cause Imho anything that is inappropriate for my kids is inappropriate for anyones. If other adults want to buy them fair enough, but im sure lots of parents at hospitals would feel the same way about their kids playing with these things.

    I wouldn't give them as presents to anyone else ( tempted and all as I might be:p). Def wouldn't give them to a childrens hospital or any charity involving children.

    Ebay, yeah maybe. Don't have the patience or the stoicism to hang on to the darned things until they are collectors items ( even if that is in some futuristic museum where they explore just how bloody stupid some people are in this century).

    BTW- the ones shown in that wikipedia article have nothing on the ones I have in the press- mine look like pornographic hookers on speed. And the first of these was given to my then 5 year old.:(
