Labubu

[Anonymous]

My DD, 14, has always been interested in social media, she currently has over 20,000 followers and she wants a labubu for her birthday next month. It’s in our price range at around $30 but I’m worried that she’ll get bored of it quickly and stop using it once the TikTok algorithm abandons it. What does one even do with a labubu? It’s a doll, as I found out from an internet search recently, but 14 year olds don’t typically play with dolls, specifically DD. Should I get it?

I would. She also might use it on her social media.

I wouldn’t worry about the doll. Worry about the 20,000 followers. You should shut that down.

This seems like a fake posting, to prompt clueless comments about labubu or whatever.

Labubu is just the people who loved Stanleys finding something else. Even more useless this go around.

I disagree. Labubu can be powerful tools to support the transition from adolescence to adulthood. They teach empathy for those who are different, including the dentally-challenged. I would not deny my daughter, and her 20,000 followers, the opportunity to benefit from this incredible phenomenon.

Make sure you get the right kind and that its authentic. It also has to be able to attach to a bag. There are several series that are acceptable - Exciting Macaron, Have a Seat, Coca Cola and Big Into Energy. They all can hang from a bag. Don't get anything else. Get it off of Whatnot or directly from Popmart.

Just get her one, OP. Labubus aren't really toys to be played with. They're bag charms. This is why they're popular among teens and young adults rather than kids.

I'm in my 30s and have a couple. They're pretty cute and well-made.
