What is the traditional quinceañera gift shaped like a doll called?

The traditional quinceañera gift shaped like a doll is called the last doll.

The last doll, or última muñeca, symbolizes the end of childhood. In a common presentation, the celebrant receives the doll from a parent or another relative during the celebration. The gift represents a final childhood toy as the celebrant moves toward a more adult stage of life.

This custom is related to other quinceañera symbols, including the formal gown, the shoe-changing ceremony, and the court of honor. None of these elements is mandatory in every celebration. Families may substitute another gift or reinterpret the tradition for a modern event.

The last doll is not the same object as the quinceañera’s bouquet, tiara, Bible, or rosary. Those items can also appear at celebrations, especially when a religious service is included, but each has a different customary association.
