Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

What exactly is a Babushka doll?

A Babushka doll (also called a Matryoshka or Russian nesting doll) is a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size, each placed one inside the other. They’re hand-painted in Russia and are one of the country’s most beloved folk art traditions. Open the largest doll and you’ll find a smaller one inside — and another inside that — usually in sets of 3 to 10 or more pieces. The surprise and delight of opening them makes them magical to receive as a gift.

Are your dolls genuine and made in Russia?

Yes — every doll in our store is authentically made in Russia by skilled craftspeople. We work directly with artisans from regions including Semenov, Zagorsk (Sergiev Posad), Vyatka and Kirov, all of which have centuries-old traditions of doll-making. We do not sell mass-produced imitations.

How much do Russian gift dolls cost in Australia?

Our collection ranges from small, affordable dolls perfect for stocking fillers and budget gifts, right through to large luxury and collector pieces. There is something beautiful for every budget. All orders come with free standard shipping Australia-wide, or express post for just $5.95 flat rate.

How quickly will my Russian gift arrive in Australia?

We ship from Randwick, NSW. Standard shipping is free and arrives within a few business days for most Australian addresses. Express post ($5.95 flat rate) gets your gift there faster — ideal when you’re buying last-minute.

Which Russian doll is best for a gift if I’m not sure what to choose?

A classic floral Babushka in a medium size is always a safe and stunning choice. For a child, our animal dolls (bears, ducks, cats) are irresistible. For a serious gift or collector, the traditional Semenov-style dolls or a large luxury piece are unforgettable. And if it’s Christmas, our dedicated Christmas collection has everything from Father Frost to festive winter scenes. Browse by the occasion above or explore all dolls in our shop.
