Expensive, But Worth It?

March 23, 2008 at 1:33 pm | In American girl experiences |

Sylvie and I were in the American Girl Store in New York Friday, the 21st, and couldn’t help but notice all of the expensive prices on furniture and accessories. We were watching the hair stylists do the dolls’ hair, and saw that one braid was $20! Below is a chart of a lot of the hair styles you can give your doll, and their prices.

Do you think you could do a ponytail on your own for no money at all? At American Girl, to get a ponytail on your doll is $10!

This is the Doll Storage Cabinet. It costs $325! You could probably buy a trunk that size for only $30, or $40 at any other store. It doesn’t have a lot of space. It has only the space of the Dance Studio Trunk, which costs $75, which is still a lot, but less than this.

This is the dance studio trunk. It comes with three hangers, unlike the storage cabinet. With the storage cabinet, you have to pay $10 to get some hangers! My mom would never let me buy that, unless I use my own money! Do you think these items are worth it?

Since I’ve never been to any American Girl store, I might pay to get my doll’s hair done - but I wouldn’t pay that much for a trunk! I got some trunks at a local craft store - they have them for 18 in. dolls for only $20!
