What is LOL Surprise? What’s the secret of its success?
LOL Surprise are little dolls with big eyes, they come in a ball that’s wrapped in layers of coloured paper, covered with drawings. As well as the dolls themselves, they also contain small accessories.
Over the last 3-4 years LOL Surprise dolls have become one of the most popular kids’ toys. Its name, which at first you might think comes from the acronym LOL (laugh out loud), used on social media to express laughter, actually stands for “little outrageous little”, explain its creators.
The secret of its success is undoubtedly the surprise factor. From the outside you have no idea which doll or accessories you’ll get, and there’s nothing kids like more than a good surprise! The expectation and excitement that they might get what they want adds to the surprise.

Organising a LOL Surprise birthday

- Decorating the venue: Don’t forget the garlands, balloons, and all kinds of hanging decorations for this birthday party. You could also print some special posters for the party.

Food, drink and fun games
All that’s left is the final step, making food and drinks for the birthday party. Water, juice, and soft drinks for the older children work well. When it comes to food, the best thing to do is combine some savoury snack foods, some sandwiches and some pastries for anyone with a sweet tooth. It’s important to always keep possible allergies or intolerances in mind when preparing food for the party.
Of course, the crowning moment will be when the cake comes out and your little one blows out the candles. Here are some fun examples of beautiful LOL Surprise cakes.
To finish off, you could make some games for the kids to play. Perhaps hang one or two piñatas so they can break them open for the prizes. One great idea is to make a LOL surprise pack for each guest, but in order to get them they’ll have to get past various tests and clues. This way you can re-create the same surprise effect that has made these dolls so popular!
