If you loved series 1 and series 2, you may like LOL Present Surprise series 3. The theme for the Present Surprise is monthly “elements” centered around birthdays. Series 1 was inspired by birthstones from the International Gem Society. Series 2 was based on horoscopes. If you and your little one are into that, then read on to see what this series is all about.
Plus, it’s already wrapped in a cute box, making it a great standalone gift for birthdays and good grades at the end of the school year, for a super affordable price. Here’s our parents’ guide to Present Surprise Series 3. Check the price on Amazon.
1. What is LOL Present Surprise Series 3?
LOL Present Surprise Series 3 is a gift-wrapped LOL series based on birthday month activities. For example, the doll for May is dressed in a cap and gown because that is when many high school and college students graduate.
2. The Present Surprise series 3 package is a white, pink, and aqua gift bag and box.
The absolute best thing about this series is that it’s already gift-wrapped for gift giving.
Ever try in vain to wrap one of those LOL doll balls? So have we!
We’re excited to have a product that is already wrapped to take away at least one headache. Present Surprise series 3 comes in a box inside the gift bag. There’s even a bow and gift tag on top.
To open: Cut the BOTTOM of the gift bag and the contents will slide right out. It’s a pain to try and open it from the top. Your little one will get frustrated and ruin the bag.
3. The gift bag features Chess.
The bag for this series features Chess on the main face. She has great purple hair, glasses, and a cropped top with cropped pants.
Why is this important?
Knowing which dolls are on which products helps you avoid FAKE LOL doll toys that will have a similar look with different dolls.
4. You cannot choose which doll is inside the box.
Each bag will feature the same doll, yet a different doll may be inside. In addition, yes this series is horoscope-themed based on birth dates BUT you cannot choose which doll your little one gets. Therefore, she may receive a doll that doesn’t match her birthday.
It would have been really cool if you could choose the birthday. However, this series is still cute.
If you want a surprise wrapped as a gift and are willing to pay a bit more, check out Deluxe Present Surprise. There are two versions and the doll on the box IS the doll inside the box.
5. There are 8 surprises for Present Surprise series 3 tots.
LOL is keeping it classic with only 8 surprises in the series. Accessories vary since they are unique to the style of the doll. All surprises come in themed tissue paper and environmentally friendly blind bags for that extra special touch (there is a lot of paper!).
- Secret message
- 2 paper party accessories (sticker sheets) and selfie backdrop

7. Here are more cute touches we noticed:
- Astro B.B. is the ultra-rare doll in this series.
- Admin Q.T. is based on Pam from the show The Office. She wears the same outfit as Pam and her PPC bottle stands for “Party Planning Committee,” which was featured on a bunch of episodes.
- Astro B.B. and her balloon glow in the dark.
- Countdown B.B. is styled after New Year’s Eve’s parties.
- Grow Grrrl is based on a spring theme since that’s when many flowers and plants start a new growth cycle.
- Grad Q.T.’s cap says Class of ‘707, which is LOL Surprise’s birthday.
8. There are no boys in this series…
If your little one doesn’t know about the differences between boys and girls yet, then this series is for you. There are no boys in the series, so there will be no surprises during the unboxing.
9. There are no lil sisters in Present Surprise Series 3.
Present Surprise dolls that are available right now don’t have lil sisters as part of their wave on the collector poster.
Perhaps they will come in a Lils series like in some of the other series.
10. There’s a Present Surprise series 2!
Love the theme but don’t want to risk duplicates? Check out Present Surprise series 2. More great gift-wrapped dolls, but this time based on star signs (or horoscope). It’s got the same number of surprises and the same great touches as series 3.
11. There is also a Present Surprise series 1.

Where to Buy Present Surprise Series 3
We’ve outlined our favorite places to buy online and in stores. If you’re outside the US, we’ve provided a couple of suggestions as well.
Where to Buy Present Surprise Series 3 Online
ALWAYS check to see if you can buy an LOL series online BEFORE braving traffic, wasting gas, and traveling from store to store. Our favorite place to buy is Amazon, of course. Here’s why:
- FREE RETURNS!
- Fast, free shipping
- Competitive prices
- Improvements to fight counterfeiting
If you are going to buy on Amazon, keep in mind that Amazon only guarantees products that they sell, so you should look for LOL products that are shipped and sold by Amazon. Listings are often consolidated, so only take the counterfeit comments seriously if NOT sold by Amazon.
Check the price of LOL Present Surprise series 3 on Amazon.
Don’t like Amazon? No problem!
You can also buy this series on Walmart.com and Target.com. Keep in mind that Walmart.com does allow third-party sellers on its site. Be sure to look for the seller’s information to make sure you are buying it from Walmart directly. Third-party sellers may sell counterfeit products and usually have higher than retail prices.
Can’t find it on Amazon, Walmart, or Target website?
Try these online retailers instead. A lot of people don’t think about them when shopping for LOL products online, so they may have stock.
- Barnes and Noble
- Best Buy
- Gamestop
- Virgin Megastore
Where to Buy Present Surprise Series 3 in Stores
If you EVER see it in stores, buy it! It won’t be there when you come back. In fact, buy two. You can always give one away or sell it on the many LOL doll Facebook groups.
You probably know all the typical retailers that sell LOL dolls. Here are some stores you might not have thought about:
- Virgin Megastore
- Cracker Barrel
- Gamestop
- Walgreen’s
If you want to try Walmart or Target, be sure to check online FIRST. You will be able to see if the series is in stores near you using the in-store pickup search option. Read our complete guide on how to do this on Walmart.com. You can even order it online to be picked up in-store when you do your weekly shopping.
Where to Buy Outside of the US
In the UK and Europe, try these retailers (online FIRST then in-store):
- Smyth’s Toys
- Argos
- The Toy Shop
- Asda
- Hamley’s
You can also try your country’s version of Amazon. You should be automatically redirected if you go to Amazon.com.
Not sold in your country? If your little one has her heart set on getting this series, you can order it on any site and have it sent to your country using Shop & Ship. You’ll have to pay extra for shipping from your Shop & Ship address to your home address, but you can get free shipping to the SS address with Amazon. You should also get faster shipping than if you ordered internationally directly from Amazon.
Now that you know all that, let’s introduce the dolls!
