My first AG Haul!

I'm so excited to have done my first American Girl haul thanks to their Last Chance clearance section. Here's what I got

1: 12 Days Until Christmas Set
I was super excited when I saw the Nutcracker themed Christmas countdown was for sale. This was one of the main reasons I did this haul. I won't be opening it until Christmas of course. I'll give a full review of it then!

2: Doll Decades Craft Book
This is the second reason I did the haul. It's the final craft kit I didn't have yet and I'm very happy about getting it. It has crafts themed to different eras starting at the 1890's and ending at 2010's. It has punch-out crafts such as a smartwatch, laptop, and fancy hand fan. It also includes really cute light blue glasses, a diner order pad, and a fold-out dance floor.

3: Fringe Vest
I think this was probably part of last year's summer Mix n Match set. It's a cute coral colored lacey vest with fringe that would look good with lots of outfits for summer.

4: Purrfectly Warm Winter Accessories
I know this was definitely part of last winter's Mix n Match Set. When I first saw it I knew I wanted it and I'm happy to finally have it. It's black fingerless mittens with silver hearts and super-cute matching cat ear earmuffs with silver glitter on the ears. 😻

5: Sea Breeze Top
This was from the same set as the Fringe Vest. It's a light blue tank top with a ruffled part at the top, perfect for summer.

6: Seashell Lace Tank
Another part of the set with the previous tank top and fringe vest. This is a light pink tank with lace at the top.

7: Set of 10 Hangers
I just really needed more hangers. It's necessary when you have a lot of doll clothing, and these were basically $1 each! Also they're made to also hang up a skirt or pants on them too. One thing I did notice is some other brands and handmade pants, etc don't stay on very well.

8: Starry Sunglasses
Lily and Ellie actually don't have a lot of sunglasses or glasses in general. These are sunglasses that are light blue with pink stars on the sides.

9: AG Swim Accessories for Dolls
It's a soft white swim towel with pink stars & American Girl embroidered on it that has an attached bag, a readable summer themed magazine, plastic translucent pink star print water bottle, and a pink polka dot sunscreen bottle. It's summer after all! This set had clear elastic bands holding the water bottle & sunscreen on the cardboard, which I kept to help my dolls hold them, since unlike newer sets they don't have handles.

10: Stripes & Dots Swimsuit
I got the black, pink and white striped and polka dot swimsuit to go with the sunglasses and swim set. Lily and Ellie didn't have a swim suit yet for summer photoshoots. I think Ellie might have claimed this one though.I
It's made of a swimsuit material and the top zips in front and bottoms have elastic waistband.
Since I don't have an AG doll yet, I was curious how it'd fit on my OG doll, Ellie. It doesn't look the same as it probably would on an AG doll but still fits easily.

I do have one last thing that isn't coming until later on. The thank you heroes nurse outfit. It's going to be perfect for some Photostories I have planned. I also have a Tenney Grant Bracelet making set that came yesterday that I'll review soon.  I'm excited to use some of the charms for Ellie's changeable charm necklace. 

My final thoughts.
I know it's not AG's fault, just the shipping company's, but my package arrived late. (Was supposed to be Wednesday, came on Sunday.) 
I will give five stars for the packaging itself. The two shirts, swimsuit, sunglasses & vest were on cardboard and in plastic. They were easy to remove from the cardboard, unlike other brands who use thread & plastic ties to hold things on. The Swim Accessories were also on cardboard in plastic but the water bottle and sunscreen were held in by elastic, which wa was easy to remove. The winter accessories were in plastic and in a box.

Packaging - ★★★★★
Quality - ★★★★★
Price - ★★★★★ (Although they were on sale after all!)
Does it work with other dolls? So far, yes, the clothes fit Our Generation dolls, and should fit Madame Alexander since they're skinnier than OG. I don't have a My Life As doll but I feel like the clothes would be big on them? Not sure.

You can find most of the stuff on the Last Chance clearance section except I don't see the swimsuit on it anymore so that might be sold out. If you're on the website and tap the three lines to open categories Last Chance is right under Sale.
