The 2016 throwback trend is going a bit too far, because it looks like it has even reached Stardoll. Today, we were surprised by the comeback of the 10 HotBuys. 

The HotBuys returned revamped, with a new logo and new shopping bags delivered to our suites when we purchase the items this Friday (wish the bags were available for purchase as well).

I’m not sure if this is a coincidence with the tribute season, but (almost) all of the items are inspired by Prada, making the release feel like a mini tribute. The drop also includes a decor item, the dog, which brings back memories of when Stardoll used to include decor pieces in the monthly HotBuys as well back in the old days. That nostalgic touch was really nice to see.

What do you think about this comeback?

For the last Monday of 2025, Stardoll released a new PopShop collection, right in time for those who want to create a New Year’s decor. The collection has a Y2K club vibe, with lots of neon lights and iridescent pieces.

The Disco DJ Booth and the Vintage Photo Booth are really nice additions to the collection, and to the game in general. As far as I remember, we only had a very old DJ booth before and I don’t recall ever seeing a photo booth in the game.

The Falling Gems Spotlight might be my favorite item from the collection. When I first saw it, it immediately reminded me of Britney Spears’ Oops!... I Did It Again album cover. I do wish they were still able to design animated pieces, as some of these lights would look even cooler with a sparkle or shine effect, but given the circumstances, this is what we get.

This time, they didn’t include any clothing items in the release, which is understandable since the Wild Candy Couture pieces fit this theme perfectly. There are two starcoins items available: the Moon Ice Sculpture and the Celebration Drink.

We’re one day away from finishing the Holiday Calendar, and today we received a decor piece, the last item that was missing from the ones shown in this year’s calendar banner.

The item is the Dried Orange Garland, and it’s available for starcoins: 126sc at the promotional price and 140sc at the full price.

Many stores are making a comeback this year, and now it was time for ’Tis the Season. The last time we had a Christmas release under this brand was back in 2021.

Today we received a two floor release with a cozy Christmas aesthetic, the kind we’d usually call a granny house. I really loved this collection, and the interior looks great as well. Sadly, it arrived a little late for Christmas, as I assume (like me) most people already have their Christmas decor ready, considering today is already the 22nd and we’re only three days away from Christmas day.

Still, I’ll definitely be picking up some pieces to use in next year’s Christmas decor! We also have three starcoin items available: the Christmas Socks, Xmas Treats, and Xmas Centerpiece. Just like the other items, they look great and are very well made.
