It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since Cabbage Patch Kids first were sold. Any child of the 80s knows how important Cabbage Patch Kids were. Who knew that when Xavier ended up exploring in that Cabbage Patch what he found would mean so much to the kids in the world. Kids would get their Cabbage Patch Kids and savor the birth certificate that each one came with. These were not only toys, but they were like actual kids. The children (it’s hard to believe we’re all adults now) would put them to bed and care for them like they were real kids. And now our babies have grown up!
The good news is that the makers of Cabbage Patch Kids are celebrating by offering 25th Anniversary Cabbage Patch Kids. This new version looks just like the original and will certainly be as important to this generation of children as they were to us.
The amazing folks from Cabbage Patch wanted to help LI Kids and the millions of fans of Cabbage Patch celebrate the coming of these new Kids. To do this they have graciously given us two adorable Cabbage Patch Kids to giveaway! We will be giving these out in July before you can buy them in the stores! That will give all of the 80s kids that loved these, a chance to win them for their kids or even for themselves (though now that you’re older you should try to share!)
To win all you have to do is let us know one of your favorite memories concerning Cabbage Patch Kids. Please make sure that you leave a memory because comments like “Make me a winner” and “I want to win” will be deleted. If you don’t leave us a fond Cabbage Patch Kid memory we will assume that you do not want to win.
To give you an idea of what we are looking for, I will leave you a fond memory of mine.
The Christmas of 1984 I was six years old and all I wanted for Christmas that year was a new International French Cabbage Patch Kid. I was learning to speak French in 1st grade and I was obsessed with all things French. The doll was brunette, which was my hair color, and wore a pretty red silk and black lace dress. Unfortunately, we did not have a lot of money so I did not expect to get it that year. My brother, who is nine years older than me had other plans though.
He saved up money from his paper route and on Christmas Eve he excused himself from the family festivities to head down to Thompkin’s Hardware, which was a block away from home. He took his paper money that he had been saving for weeks and came home with the French Cabbage Patch Kid that I had been wanting! He had them put it in a brown box, since they weren’t able to wrap it there and he gave it to me right then. I can still remember the excitement I felt. It’s been over 23 years since that Christmas and it’s the one gift I think I will never forget!
We hope that you will add in your memories of your old Cabbage Patch Kids so that you have a chance to win an Anniversary Kid for yourself before they hit the store shelves.

My greatest memory of my Cabbage Patch Kid, Alyssa, isn’t a happy one. I had more than one Cabbage Patch, but Alyssa was always my favorite. When I was five, my parents decided to take my brother and I on a cruise. I had to take Alyssa with me. My brother, who was two years older than I was, was very antagonistic towards me. We didn’t get along and he’d always try to take Alyssa from me. During a nap (I didn’t always take naps, but the cruise was busy and I was tired), I woke up to notice that Alyssa was gone. Frantically, I ran to my mom, but nobody had seen her. With my brother up on deck, at the pool with my dad, I teary-eyed, was led up there by my mother to join them. When I got to the pool, I refused to go in, without knowing if Alyssa was safe and sound. That is until I saw her floating, face down, in the pool! Jeff (my brother) had snuck her out of the room in his towel and put her in the pool after he saw us arrive. I was so mad that I tried to jump into the pool to get her without my floaties on! Needless to say, Jeff got in a lot of trouble for his “prank”. Waterlogged, even when we tried to dry her, the heavily chloronated pool made sure Alyssa never was the same again. I loved her anyway and now she sits in a shelf in my closet just waiting for me to have kids so she can play with someone again.
Christmas of 1985 I was looking for a Cabbage Patch for my son. I tried everywhere but they were sold out unless you wanted to pay a premium, which as a single Mom I could just not justify. Fortunately, “Santa” found one, and I still remember his delight at finding out that his baby’s name was “Calvin Hubert”. But the best part about it, is that my son is now 25 years old, and he is a tough boy “screamer” in a hard core band, but if you go into his bedroom, Calvin sits right there next to Henry Pound Puppy.

Back when I was 6 or 7 years old in about 1988, my family was not necessarily the most wealthy. My father was a pastor at a small church and we lived very simply. My brother and I learned to appreciate any luxuries that we were given. One year, for my birthday, I got the most georgous cabbage patch doll with red hair (just like mine!) I loved that doll. I dressed her up, did her hair, and put her to bed every night. One afternoon at the park with my family, I accidentally left my doll on the swingset. When I returned to the car, I realized that my doll was gone. By the time I made it back to the swings, my doll was gone. I was heartbroken! I knew it would be impossible for my family to replace the doll because money was so tight. To my surprise and delight, a few friends of the family and a couple of church members pitched in and replaced my doll. I still have her to this day with my keepsakes. Of course, I was never allowed to take her to the park again!
I love the Dolls! I remember loving mine so much that my grandmother and her friend made a bassinet so that she could sleep comfortably!
A few years later, a child I babysat got one with red hair (like mine) and of course named her after me!
I have to be honest, I went to Cleveland, GA a few years back and went to BabyLand Hospital to see it again…
Thanks for the contest!
I remember visiting the Cabbage Patch Hospital in Ca. I had one doll with such a pretty pink lacy dress! I saved so long for her. . .
I adopted two Cabbage Patch Dolls. We did everything together. And I remember my mom got an old highchair from a garage sale and gave it to me so they had a place to sit at dinner. I was so happy. I always thought it was great they were adopted like me.
My favorite cabbage patch memory is getting the set of twins I got one Christmas. They both had on red velvet pant suits, and red berets…with brown hair. And one of them was named Debra, which was my mom’s name. I already had five other cabbage patch dolls, but these two were so special because one was named after my mom.
I know have a one year old daughter and I already have boughten her her first cabbage patch doll…she’s adorable and brought back so many memories! THANKS!
I still have my first and only cabbage patch doll. I wonted the one that had the long hair but instead my mom got me the newborn and I thought that was the ugliest baby I had ever seen. It name was Carmela Maggie and her birthday was September first that was just a few days from mine and I like that part. It turned out that she became my favorite doll and she has been passed down to my daughter.
Funny story: when my sister was born, my parents still hadn’t gotten a name picked out…they named her after my only cabbage patch doll: Heather. She’s hated me ever since. Lol.
I received my Cabbage Patch Doll the day that I was born and I still have her! Her name is BeBe Alisa. I don’t have a daughter yet, but when I do, I will pass it down to her! If I never have a daughter, well them, I guess my son will get her!
Thanks for the opportunity!
I remember as a kid how scary it was to go to the store when they got a shipment of Cabbage Patch Dolls in i was almost knocked over by frantic adult trying to get there hands on a doll. My favorite thing about my doll was her smell, i love the original Cabbage Patch Doll & i would love to win this for my four year old daughter that i am adopting. I think it might be a great way to explain to her about her adoption.
My sister-in-law bought my two nephews Cabbage Patch dolls. I will never forget the looks on my four other brothers faces when their nephews showed up toting dolls. Their dad still hasn’t lived that one down.
Obviously that was back when kids toys were more sexist – back then boys still played with guns and trucks, not dolls.
I had a Cabbage Patch doll named Victoria. I took her with me evrywhere, including one very memorable trip to the dentist where she probably had trouble breathing due to the increased pressure my hug of fear brought her. The timing of this contest is a little funny in that I was just explaining Cabbage Patch Kids to my two oldest girls a week or two ago. Victoria was my prize possession. In fact, she was pretty much all I got one Christmas. Needless to say, her value to me was significant. I would have loved to hand her down to my girls, but one of the other neighborhood children visiting my brother stole her from my bedroom along with a couple of other things. I remember crying all night, not really able to assimilate the loss. Regardless of winning or not, it was fun reliving Victoria’s memory. Thanks!
I can remember when the first Cabbage Patch Doll came out. My friend and neighbor got one of the first one and I vividly remember her coming over and telling me that she had adopted this doll. She showed me the “birth certificate” paperwork to prove that she was her doll and I wanted one so bad. I asked my parents why my dolls didn’t have birth certificates after that and my Dad printed one out for me for my favorite doll at the time.
Thanks for the memories and the nice giveaway.
I was 3-4 years old when I received a Cabbage Patch Kid. All of my male cousins received My Buddy dolls, but I got a Cabbage Patch Kid instead. I was the smallest of the cousins and the My Buddy dolls were so much bulkier than the Cabbage Patch Kids. Byron James was my best friend. We went everywhere together. Even the hospital.
When I had to have surgery, my grandma made a hospital gown for Byron James to wear. We went into surgery together and Byron was with me throughout the entire recovery. Without him, as a small child, I believe I would have been much more scared. All of the nurses thought it was so cute that I had a little doll and he even kind of looked like me. We both had a sandy blonde hair color and blue eyes.
Now that I’m a dad, I recently returned home to my mom’s house. There, I found Byron in a box of some of my old toys. With a little girl who is three years old, I’ve finally been able to give Byron a new best friend. I’m forever grateful to Byron for helping a scared little kid get through surgery. I’d love for my daughter, Aria, to be able to have a new Cabbage Patch Kid of her own, who she can love as much as I loved Byron.
I remember these, we couldn’t afford to get a real Cabbage Patch doll for my daughter so one of her friends made one as close to the actual doll as possible. It would be great to give her a real one at last. Thanks for the contest!
I desperately wanted a Cabbage Patch doll and knew there was no way we could afford one. We were barely scraping by but almost all of my friends had one, except my best friend and I. To both of our surprise, our parents got us MATCHING Cabbage Patch dolls for Christmas! They were the same except for eye color and teeth, and they both had our names as part of their name! I was so excited and still have that Cabbage Patch, 20-plus years later!
I was pregnant with my daughter in 1982 and my mom went out and put a doll on layaway for my daughter. my daughter was born in November and I called her Courtney. On Christmas morning my mom became ill and asked me to pick up my daughters’s gift and when I opened it it was not only my daughter first baby doll, it was her first Cabbage Patch doll and low and behold the doll’s name was also Courtney. My mom is no longer with us but my daughter now has a daughter and being a grandma I went out and boughter her first Cabbage Path doll and the doll name is Madison just like my granddaughter. Abd by the was my daughter still has her doll and she is over 25 now.
When we purchased one for our daughter for her birthday and she opened the box, the birth certificate showed she was born on our daughter’s actual birthday! She still has “Lois” after all of these years. She says it was her first daughter.
I remember buying 2 – one for my daughter, and a boy one for my nephew. His parents scorned me for giving him a “doll” but eventually the Cabbage Patch doll won them over. My nephew actually loved it and both kids dragged those dolls around forever! I have pics of them hugging their dolls.
Oh, how I just loved these dolls. My favorite CPK memory occured when I was just 8 years old. My mom and I walked into our local Hill’s Department Store (gosh, I just adored that store!). I went straight for the clothing section to browse the beautiful CPK outfits to dress my MUCH anticipated first CPK in- we just couldn’t find one. Well, my mom came running up to me with an actual CABBAGE PATCH KID! I didn’t realize the store actually had the kids for sale. There were only 3 to pick from, and I happiliy chose Nora Joann. I was the happiest kid in the world on that day.
It is this contest and reading others comments that brings back the nostalgia of an era that was lost to me but not forgotten. I was 16 years old when the first Cabbage Patch dolls came out. Long past the age of dolls (but secretly envious and wanting one of the precious babies), decided that if I could not get one for myself I would purchase one for my neice, who was 8 at the time. As my family gathered around the Christmas tree my neice looked heart broken each time she opened a gift because she had put in a special request to Santa Claus for a Cassandra Cabbage Patch, and nothing else. We were like everyone in our small town, quit poor. I had enlisted my brother and my dad to help me save the money to purchase this Cabbage Patch Doll. Needless to say, we gave Dad (grandpa to my neice) the honor of presenting Cassandra to my neice. To this day, ever time I visit, I still see “CASSANDRA”, at my neices house, propped on HER daughters bed, she also named her daughter Cassandra. I had my last child in 2004 and named her Cassandra, subconsciously, I assume, I had finally had my “Cabbage Patch Cassandra. Cassy is now 4 and it would thrill both her and I if I were to present her with her very own Cabbage Patch Doll.
I remember 25 years ago trying to get a cabbage patch doll for my daughter for Christmas. They were so hard to get. Long lines and promotions. Took several attempts to get one but it was worth it with the look on her face. Great memory. Would give this one to her also even though she is 31 and I get to see that look again.
The three of us each had girls that wanted one. They were in limited supply and they were only allowing two per customer and they were only letting 10 people at a time in the store. We mad a pack that we would go to different stores with hopes that we would luck up and get one. This was up north and I stood for an hour in the snow. When my turn came, they had some left, and I got two. When I got home I called the other two only to find that neither one (because of the snow)had gotten up that morning; so, my daughter got two for Christmas.
In my family every girl has one, still packaged whose birthday matches hers. All of my cousins, and my little sister (born on the first day of spring) received their dolls at a young age. My birthday is September 29th, it is pretty rare. I have never met anyone else who shares it with me. For years I would search through every doll on the rack to find my birthday. My boyfriends in high school thought I must be crazy. As a 21 year old woman, who had just quit a job she loved due to new ownership I was quite down. I happened to go to walmart to blow off some steam, and there she was my cabbage patch kid. I actually started crying and called my mom to tell her. But the best part I didn’t have to torture myself and keep her in the box. But So unlike all of the other girls I took my CPK out of the box!
My kids were born in the ’80s but were all boys so no Cabbage Patch kids for us! My friends who had daughters told me to be thankful that I wasn’t having to stand in those long lines and try to beat everyone else to get a doll each time a new shipment arrived at the toy store. When my first granddaughter was born 4 years ago I knew this was my chance to see one of those dolls up close and personal. We adopted a Cabbage Patch Kid for her that has her name. She loves that baby and takes it everywhere she goes. She tells everyone that it is her twin sister. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m 33 years old, so my first Cabagge Patch Doll definitely came in the 1980′s. Of course, it was all I wanted for Christmas that one special year. I honestly can say that was one of my most happy Christmas memories…opening up Emily on Christmas morning. She even had brown hair like me! I took such good care of her too! I “fed” her and “changed her diaper” and “bathed” her! She slept in my room in a cradle. I changed her clothes every day. She came with me everywhere! That summer,we went to Disney World. Emily is in every single picture with me! How patient my mom must have been to allow me to cart her around all over the place, even Disney World! Years later, my mom told me how she got up super early and waited in line for hours and got shoved, pushed, and even knocked down getting me that doll. It really makes me apprecites my mom! I now have 2 little girls of my own ages 3 and 1 who are just beginning to get into dolls. Recently, I found some of Emily’s old clothes n a box in my mom’s basement. I washed them and gave them to my girls. It is so neat to see how excited my 3 year old was to dress her favorite doll in Emily’s old clothes. I have really come full cirle with that doll, and I love her more now because of it!
I remember my 1st two Cabbage Patch Kids! One was a redhead and then there was the other one–a brunette! My Mom won a raffle that got me the brunette one! One how I loved those CBK’s! I still have them-they’re such a treasured keepsake to me. I remember having and playing with a CPK boardgame too! That was a lot of FUN!
When these were unable to be found anywhere, a radio station in town started giving them away as prizes. We tried unsuccessfully to win one. Later, we found out that the radio station even had a hard time obtaining the prizes; I guess they did not plan ahead. We received a homemade doll as a gift.
I really wanted a Cabbage Patch Doll bad when I was little and always begged my mom whenever we went anywhere with a toy store. But they always seemed to be out all the time. I kept begging them for one and I pretty much gave up when one day one of my aunts sent me one from out of state! It was a real surprise and it was suppose to be kept until my birthday but since my dad knew I wanted it so bad he just unwrapped it and gave it to me! I really loved it! Unfortunately our dog chewed it up!
I was born in 1980 and got my first cabbage patch in 1985. Her name was Mary Sue. I remember seeing her when we was visiting family in South Carolina. My grandmother got her for me and I now she is waiting for my daughter to get old enouth to play with her. Mary Sue also has a cabbage patch brother but I forgot what his name is!
I saw this and did the memories come back. I didn’t have children of my own yet but my nephew who would absolutely kill me if he knew I was writing this wanted one badly, so of course hi Nanny, my mother got on one of her Im a new grandmom gigs and drove about an hour away to a mall that she had called daily to see if they got any in and more importantly did they have a boy. Well she did it God bless her soul, she found a boy Cabbage Patch doll and my newphew who is in his late 20′s loved that doll. I just know my mom went through an enormous amount of time, money and trouble all to make her grandson happy, but my father almost had a coronary when he saw his grandson with a doll that day, lol.
I was 20 when the Cabbage Patch baby hit the stores and they flew off the shelf, probably one of the first toys to go “viral”, every one wanted one and they stood in line for hours at Christmas. My Fiance went out of his way to make sure I had one. It was a spcecial time.
I remember that it was 1984 and I had been on the waiting list to be able to buy one. My daughter wanted one so badly and we were counting down the days till we were leaving for overseas with the military and all wondering what would come first. It was the morning we were ready to leave for the airport and my neighbor ran over to the house. She was out of breath and said that Kmart had called saying they had 5 in stock and I would have to buy one now. I had left her number just for this reason! I will never forget telling my husband to go on to the airport with our daughter while I ran to the store with my best friend. Unfortunately, people had heard about their being new ones in stock and the store was packed with hundreds of people. We both pushed our way through the crowd to get to the customer service to get my doll. They gave her to me and my friend had to actually put me on her shoulders as people were trying to take it out of my hands. I made it to the register, she drove to the airport at lightening speed and I arrived at the gate just as they were ready to close it. I made it to to my seat and placed the doll in my daughter’s hands just as the door to the plane was closed! Now it seems like I must have been crazy but I will never forget the tears in my daughter’s eyes as she cradled the doll and know I would do it all over again! The doll is still in her possession but it is now her daughter’s favorite doll and still loved as much by her as it was by her mother.
I wanted a Cabbage Patch Doll so much. My uncle worked at a Kmart and got one – but gave it to my older cousin. I couldn’t stop crying!
I was an adult when the Cabbage Patch Dolls came out and remember the Christmas shortage. Three years ago, I was able to buy my granddaughter her first Cabbage Doll, and I filled her in on how they were the toy of choice in the 80′s.
I was born in 71 so when cabbage patch kids came out I was still into dolls and wanted one really bad. My mom would not buy me one because she said they looked really ugly and kids would just make fun of me so I never got one and grew up and had my own kid. Well just last year they finally made it back on the shelves at our local department store and I wanted one so bad for myself, since my daughter is 13 and thinks they are ugly too. My husband would not understand if I splurged on myself with times so tight but I am sure glad to see other adults remember and wanted one too. I just had a granddaughter 1 month ago, I wonder if she would like one?
I was living in Germany and was in Junior high and I trally wanted one and my father being in the military said ” I can’t afford that much for a doll” I never got one, and still don’t. Thank you for giving me a chance to finally get one.
I clearly remember wanting a Cabbage Patch doll even though I was in high school. Unfortunatly we couldn’t find any, especially the black dolls. That is until my mother went to Japan for her annual family vacation. While there, she went shopping with her sister and found tons of black cabbage patch dolls. The black dolls weren’t in demand in Japan, which was perfect for me. So on this trip home from Japan, my mother didn’t bring any Japanese souveniers, just one very American Cabbage Patch Doll.
When my son and nieces were little I took them to Cleveland, Ga. to the Cabbage Patch Hospital where the dolls were “born”. The staff would announce over the loud speaker that “another delivery had just taken place”. After the “birth” of a new doll, you then had the opportunity to adopt one. Everyone who visited there really enjoyed it! I would love to win one for my son’s daughter and share the story of the Cabbage Patch hospital with her.
I remember how hard these were to get. My sister worked at Venture Dept. store and they got a shippment of about 10 dolls. The store didnt put them out because they were actually afraid there would be a riot over just 10 of them. Instead employees got to draw for them, and my sister was lucky enough to get one. It ended up being my bd present. I was so thrilled. They were so hard to come by, and it made by b-day that I actually got one.
Gosh I have so many but a few months before the craze started I was in the store with my aunt and there were a bunch sitting on shelf at store and I remember her saying she should buy her daughter one and I said no she wouldn’t like it. What an idiot I was LOL eventually her daughter got one and they bought my son the chicago cubs one and he loved it.
My sisters and I all got Cabbage Patch Dolls in that first Christmas madness, even though we were just getting a bit too old for dolls. No matter, I cherished Werner Ferdinand and have him to this day. My two year old son discovered him the other day and I tried to convince myself that I should just let him play with the doll. But as he dragged poor Werner around the room and tore his (original!) diaper, I thought… nah… and tucked Werner safely back into his spot of honor. Bet my son would love to have a Cabbage Patch Doll in the house that he’s allowed to play with!
I got one boy doll named Nathan. He was my baby and I took him everywhere with me. I even had a neighbor lady believing that I had a real baby in the stroller one day.
I’d love to win this. I have 2 girls and they’d just love to have their own doll to cherish.
I remember the Christmas they were the biggest present on every little girl’s wish list. I was 5 years old, I believe, and I wanted one so badly. My parents had been unable to get one anywhere, though. My dad was a truck driver, and happened to be out driving in another state when he heard an announcement on the radio that a local Wal-Mart was going to get a shipment of them. He immediately went to that store and got in line, waiting for it to open. When they opened their doors he was right there with all those rioting moms, and made his way to the pile, he grabbed the first he could get his hands on, a beautful blonde haired, blued eyed doll, whose name happened to be Amy, just like mine. I treasure that doll to this day. I think about my father, and how much he hates shopping and crowds, and I realize that he would have done anything for me, and that doll represents that in a small way.
I had a younger sister that was born with Downs Syndrome. Her communication skills were very minimum and she had the mind of a two year older. Even though she was in her teens she still played with dolls. When ever she saw the Cabbage Patch commercial you could see the delight in her eyes and she would try to communicate. My mother decided that would be her big Christmas gift that year. But my mother did not know how hard they were to get. On our fifth attempt and after waiting 3 hours in the cold and rain we got her one. She was the happiest person in the world when she opened that box on Christmas morning. Her eyes told it all. She died several years later and she was buried with her doll.
I for one am so glad they are back and my daughter collected Cabbage Patch dolls and even won a doll at the local Maloneys’ when they opened in our town(they don’t even exist anymore,Maloneys).My Mother had to have a Premie and she was so happy.
All of my daughters Cabbage Patch Dolls burned up and she was devestated as well as I.
Shannon is 29 and she still talks about her Cabbage Patch Dolls and remembers their names.
This past Christmas I bought my granddaughter one(she is 5 now)and she was crazy about it.
Cabbage Patch Dolls are the best dolls in the world and this 30th birthday I will be getting Shannon a Cabbage Patch Doll.She will be soooo happy.
Okay, but it isn’t pretty. It was the day they started selling them, at 4:00 AM people already started a line at the Wal-Mart. I ended up with one for my daughter. Out of no where a woman ran to my cart, and TOOK MY DOLL! I was a young wife hipping my 2-year old I left the store, leaving the cart there. I was mortified! To this day, every time I see a Wal-Mart, I think of that woman!
However I am sure my granddaughter wood enjoy your featured giveaway!
My mom bought one of these for me for Christmas one year. I think I was around 11, 12 – a little too old for dolls but it was the craze that year. She actually found some (without fighting the lines and battles) at a department store that did not advertise they were selling these. It was pretty much just her and another lady buying the dolls when she was there These Cabbage Path dolls were french canadian and had french and english birth certificates. She NEVER would have gotten one in a normal toy store – they shelves cleared out within minutes of the dolls arriving.
Oh I loved my Cabbage Patch kids! I remember their names (Billy, Andy and Crissy) and I still have their birth certificates somewhere in my childhood memory box! I was 7 or 8 when the craze hit and some of the fondest memories I have as a kid are the slumber parties me and my friends would have with our Cabbage Patch kids. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win one!
