The Duchess of Sussex said the 75-year-old, who lives in Mexico, probably got 'glares' for the heartwarming gift - but it filled her with so much pride.
In her blog, The Tig, which she shut down after her engagement to Prince Harry , the 38-year-old shared private details of the present which Thomas purchased from Toys R Us.
They were three dolls that he had wrapped up in glitter-flecked paper and customised.
Meghan recalled: "When I was about seven, I had been fawning over a boxed set of Barbie dolls.
Having a Caucasian father and an African American mother , she didn't know which box she fitted into so she left it blank in despair.
The incident made Thomas so enraged his 'eyes popped' and his skin turn blotchy and red, he then told Meghan to 'draw her own box.'
So when at Toys R Us faced with the boxes of dolls in front of him, Thomas 'broke the rules' and took them apart to make a custom family for his little girl.
Meghan continued: "On Christmas morning, swathed in glitter-flecked wrapping paper, there I found my Heart Family: a black mom doll, a white dad doll, and a child in each color.
"My dad had taken the sets apart and customized my family.
"I picture him standing there in Toys R Us, moms glaring at him for taking the toys apart, perhaps an employee saying 'excuse me sir, you can’t do that' — as my dad carefully separated the boxed sets to make one that echoed my reality.
"One that showed me that I should (and could) make my own box."
Meanwhile, this Christmas will be Harry and Meghan's first as parents to Archie.
They are spending it in California with the Duchess's mum, Doria Ragland.
