well check this out as a great gift now that the people who played with these nesting dolls as kids are having their own kids!

BUT i also think they'd be amazing to give already painted if you are artistically inclined, or know someone who is. my sister molly, for example, is a totally gifted artist and painter and interesting people are her specialty. i think a set of these painted by her or someone else with true talent would be truly priceless. even if it's someone who doesn't know the recipients, you could have them painted using a photo of each family member as a guide. if the family has fewes than five members, hold on to the extras and add them later to welcome new additions!
because this nostalgic gift celebrates a family's uniqueness, and because it is guaranteed to be one-of-a-kind, AND because the set is $21, i'm obsessed.

My daughter has a set of matryoshka dolls that my parents got her from Russia and she loves them. She calls it her puzzle and loves to take them apart and put back together over and over. I really love this idea, if only I could paint because a 3 year old painting is not exactly neat - but perhaps that's what makes it great!
