Dollidays 2020 What Lily & Ellie Got For Christmas

American Girl...

1. The Snow Fancy Accessories - Bag and Jewelry

The Snowflake bag is really beautiful and glittery and well made. The glitter doesn't shed at all. The pearl bracelet is really pretty too and the silver one with the star charm. The little snowflake ring is cute too but I wish it had a little box to put it in.

2. Courtney Moore 's Mini Pleasant Company Molly McIntire Doll

I'm so excited I got this. The doll is very pretty and moves its arms, legs and head like larger dolls. The clothing seems well made. The doll comes with a mini Pleasant Company Meet Molly book, a mini Pleasant Company catalog and a booklet that tells about how Courtney Moore got the doll. The only thing I dislike is the glasses - they're plastic, don't stay on the doll well, and feel like they could break if not careful.

Quality: ★★★★

3. Set of 3 Headbands.

The three headbands are made of a hard rubbery plastic material. One is dark pink with polka dots, one light pink with a ribbon bow, and the last a silver glittery headband.

4. The 2019 Advent Calendar

I got the calendar back in summer when I saw it in the last chance section. I had been wanting it when it came out so I was super excited about it. Here's what came in it:

~A Holiday Card with 2 Nutcracker Tickets. They're made out a shiny thin paper like.most other sets and are really cuts. I will be adding the card to my holiday decor box anx the tickets I think would be cute on a diy board to display tickets and photos. 

~A Nutcracker "Playbill" which I'll hang up with the tickets when I make the display board.

~A "Chocolate" Nutcracker which will be cute to. display on a table or counter with other Christmas treats. 

~A Sparkly Snowflake ornament which is plastic with glitter and gems and hangs on a red ribbon.

~A pink teacup and plate, they're light pink with white details and the cup has a snowflake on it.

~A purse that gold and red with a gold chain handle.

~A pearl bracelet

~A blue rubbery plastic bow headband

~A blue tulle scarf

~White satin gloves

~A little red bow ring.

~A doll-sized Nutcracker Ballet book you can read.

It was a great set that came with a great mix of seasonal items but also things that can be used all year. My only complaint is again which I mention above on the Snow Fancy accessories is that I wish the red bow ring came with a box like the ring in the 2020 Advent Calendar.

I will definitely be getting more Mini Brands in the future for sure!

Thoughts on the Courtney Moore Movie Trailer.

 I watched it and it definitely looks interesting. I'd love it if American Girl made a doll stop motion full length film, especially since no movies with actual humans can be filmed right now. Doing a doll stop motion would only require the human's voice. 

I also think doing a stop motion would inspire people who watch it to get into doll stop motion. I know it's hard and time consuming but a project that takes a lot of time is great right now. 

You can watch the trailer here. 

I just hope it isn't an Amazon Prime only one and made so many people can watch it.

Thoughts on the new American Girl Historical Character: Courtney Moore.

 American Girl's newest Historical character Courtney Moore came out this week. You can purchase her online right now and you'll find her in stores later this month.

The doll sells for $110 as just the doll & book, $140 with the accessories set, or $249 if you want more of the sets (Care Bears Sleeping Bag, Care Bears Pajamas, Lunch Set, T-shirt and Tank set, Leggings set and her Cardigan).

The doll has blue eyes, sandy-blonde hair, and is the Classic? (Not sure on names yet.) Face Mold. She comes in a light blue crop top with the words Totally Cool on it over a light purple tank top, a high waisted acid washed denim skirt, hot pink leggings, white faux-leather shrunched top pointed toe boots, and a hot pink scrunchie. 

Her accessories set includes a cassette player, cassette tape that works with the boombox in the sleepover accessory set, cassette tape holder, headphones, four plastic bangle bracelets, a tube of pretend lip balm on a string, and a plastic button that says "Maureen for Mayor" to show support for her mom.

I am sure a lot of people will be enjoying the mini Pac-Man Arcade. It is currently for Pre-Order for $149.99.

Her bedroom set is a bunk bed. It sells for $225. It has pink metal rails and a printed wall at the bottom bunk. There's shelves on the side and a place to hang clothes too. It has rainbow pillows and comforters for both bunks, and a Pac Man Pillow. It also includes some smaller accessories such as a potted plant, a telephone, books, book-ends, a diary, a calendar and a set of stickers of music and movie posters to decorate it.

The release came with two adorable Care Bears sets: Pajamas and a Sleeping bag.

The pajama set $28 is a Care Bears Nightie, A matching light blue scrunchie and light blue fuzzy socks. 

The Sleeping bag set $36 includes a Care Bears Sleeping Bag, matching pillow and a mini stuffed Care Bear.

There's a Sleepover Accessory set $50 that includes a working boombox (the cassette tape that comes in her acessories set works with it), four cassette tapes with cases, two cans of fruit punch with straws, a bowl of tortilla chips, a cootie catcher and a friends book.

There's also a Caboodles make-up & hair accessories set $36. It includes a Caboodles makeup case, pretend hair spray can, white hair pick, blue and pink scrunchies, green plastic banana hairclip, pink lace bow, pretend make-up compact and brush, and four sheets of nail stickers.

Two school themed sets came along as well. A Lunch Set and School Supplies Set 

The School Supplies Set $30 looks like it's definitely inspired by Lisa Frank. It includes a binder, two folders, 20 sheets of lined paper, puffy stickers, pink pencil box, three pencils and three erasers shaped like a cat, a dog and a rhino.

The Lunch Set $25 includes a Pac Man Lunchbox and matching insulated container, a bologna and cheese sandwich cut in two, apple slices, a container of cheese puffs and a brownie with sprinkles.

The item that I think everyone is the most excited about is the mini Pleasant Company Molly Doll.

The Pleasant Company Doll $30 includes a mini Molly McIntire doll in a Pleasant Company box, a mini Pleasant Company Christmas catalog, and a mini Meet Molly book.

Courtney's other clothes come in Mix and Match; each piece sold separately. The options are:

An acid washed Denim Jacket $18 

Hot Pink Cropped Jacket $12

Colorful Patterned Cardigan $18

A Splatter Print Dress $18

Tropical Patterned Shirt and Purple Tie $16

80s Graphic T-shirt  and Green Tank Top $16

Fashion Accessories $16 includes a hot pink lace bow headband, two sets of earrings (pink and green posts with green triangle dangles and pink star dangles), a green scrunchie and purple lace fingerless gloves.

I would really like to purchase the Care Bears pajamas and sleeping bag, and some of her mix and match clothes. And maybe the miniature Molly doll. Only time will tell.

I hope to DIY some of the stuff though so stay tuned!
