She...Oh my gosh - my 8 year old is the exact same. She's been asking for an American Girl doll for years. We live in Canada and we have Maplelea dolls as well but they are the same thing. $100 dolls with $$$ expensive accessories. This year we found a doll at Sears for $25 that's similar so Santa is bringing that to miss Emma. I have my fingers crossed that she'll be okay with that...<br />I love that you're spending time looking for generic accessories. I'd be doing the exact same in your shoes. It's so nice to spoil the kids but it sucks when the one thing they really, really, really want is so expensive! I'm glad to hear your little one is loving the doll though. Almost makes breaking the bank worth it! ;)<br />~Jess<br />#ALittleBitOfEverythingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291297826145052266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659372835822041151.post-4338431119902272792016-12-21T19:58:22.928-06:002016-12-21T19:58:22.928-06:00With my daughters now 12 and 9 I think we missed t...With my daughters now 12 and 9 I think we missed this one, although over the years the amount we have spent on Barbie would be OMG #mainyloveschristmasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659372835822041151.post-52460913234683473272016-12-21T03:04:04.191-06:002016-12-21T03:04:04.191-06:00Did you actually just say $300 for a doll??

I may need the next 3 years to start saving apparently? I bet your daughter's over the moon though?

For one thing, I still have the doll and it's in good condition and I never got anything else to add to her - like outfits and such. I suppose that's gotten more and more popular though! haha I LOVED all the AG books though. :) My suggestion for outfits is to look at Etsy or craft shows near you, because people make reasonably priced outfits that fit these sized dolls and you can get all sorts of things!<br /><br />-LaurenShooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659372835822041151.post-80490271000875246652016-12-20T15:21:54.018-06:002016-12-20T15:21:54.018-06:00Kids will cost you an arm and a leg!

All I know is that my little girls haven't mentioned this at all, and since we don't watch any TV (OK, occasionally Netflix), get any junk mail (you can do that in Luxembourg) or live near a shopping mall, I am hoping that they will never, ever find out... But now you have the doll, I hope your girl enjoys it and that you enjoy your doll teatimes.

I dare not add up how many they have and work out the total cost as I think my hubby would have a heart attack.
