  Decide how you will grow your collection. Aside from Annalee thimbles and Christmas ornaments, there are several different lines of Mobilitee dolls: Christmas, Club, Easter, Halloween, Harvest, Irish Celebration, Special Occasion, Spring, Valentine and Romance. There are different items for each of these lines each year starting in 2000. Decide if you want to collect by line, year or simply start with the ones you like the most.

  Find the best price by comparing your local retailer to online stores, including Ebay. Note, however, that since each Annalee doll is handmade, there may be some variation between what you see in the store and what you buy online, so if you're in love with an Annalee carried by a local establishment, you might want to buy it there.
