"Whether a gift is something silly, something needed, or something thoughtful, I love bringing joy to friends and family during the holiday season," Barbie told The Post.
Come on, Barbie, let’s go party — and holiday shop while we’re at it.
The iconic doll who does it all is also a pro at purchasing gifts that wow — and she has some exclusive picks for New York Post readers. She covers everyone on her list, and she can help you with yours — from what to get your besties, her sisters Stacie and Skipper, and, of course, something for the Ken in your life.
“Whether a gift is something silly, something needed, or something thoughtful, I love bringing joy to friends and family during the holiday season,” Barbie told The Post.
Below are her carefully curated gifts for the holidays, so you and your friends can live in a Barbie world just like the famous, trend-setting doll.
Milk Bar Peppermint Bark Cake, $54
“A holiday treat that looks as good as it tastes, this Milk Bar Peppermint Bark Cake is as Insta-worthy as it is delish,” raved Barbie, probably in between bites of this yummy wintry confection.
Milk Bar is known for its holiday flavors, and after you enjoy the pumpkin cake for Thanksgiving, ship this minty treat to a friend and make their holidays that much sweeter. (Milk Bar can send the tasty treat anywhere in the country to friends near and far.) The cake features layers of peppermint-soaked dark-chocolate, with crunchy cocoa crumbs, chocolate fudge and peppermint frosting, and it’s topped with crushed candy cane.

“Take any holiday party to the next level with the Rocket Man’s greatest hits! I love it on vinyl for the full experience,” said Barbie, in between tracks.
Barbie is a huge Elton John fan herself, slipping into her own “Tiny Dancer” persona now and then. Listen to Sir Elton’s music the way it was meant to be heard — on vinyl, and with a perfect mix of his greatest hits. The album includes classics such as “Rocket Man,” “Candle in the Wind” and his duet with George Michael, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.”
Buy NowDonation to She’s The First, donation amount varies
Barbie thinks that everyone should be able to get an education, so they can grow up to be who they want to be. That’s why a donation to She’s The First makes for an empowering gift for anyone on your list.
“She’s The First is an incredible organization that educates and empowers girls. Making a donation in a friend’s name is all about the purpose, not the purchase!” explained Barbie.
The purpose is to help provide girls with access to education and build support systems to help guide them through to graduation. Especially during the coronavirus pandemic, this gift will not only warm the heart of the recipient whose name is honored with the contribution, but it will make an impact on another girl in the world.
