TNT Skipper Gift Sets
1968 "Perfectly Pretty Set" #1546
This very rare set was the only gift set sold with a TNT ‘Straight Hair’ Skipper.
Its box resembled the ‘Party Time Gift Set’, but the artwork was different. The graphics show three TNT Skippers (blonde, brunette and titian) dressed in the clothes contained in the gift set.
It was a Sears exclusive gift set which included a three piece dark turquoise velvet outfit (dress with white top, coat and hat) and turquoise flats as well as a clear plastic X-stand. Skipper was dressed in her original swimsuit.

1969 "Bright 'n Breezy Set" #1590
The only gift set which included a Sausage Curl Skipper was the Sears exclusive "Bright 'n Breezy Set" from 1969. Strangely, the graphics on the top of the set showed a TNT Skipper with straight hair. The Sausage Curl Skipper was dressed in her orange and pink swimsuit and came with knit culottes, a faux leather coat and green flats. A clear plastic X-stand was included. The fabric of the coat tended to "break" and nowadays the coat is almost impossible to find without small cracks.
The gift set is rare.
