Hellobee Boards

I would run it past parents!

My MIL came at Thanksgiving with the catalogue for the Canadian version (called Maplelea Dolls) and I told her that I wanted to get them for my gals for Christmas. Things changed, and I decided that I would wait a year or so. Said nothing to anyone...AND MY MIL STILL GOT THEM FOR THE GIRLS. THAT HAPPENED. I am still miffed about it.

The parents might love the idea, though--but I say play it safe just in case!

I would ask her parents. That said, my daughter's Godmother (my sister) gave my daughter a Bitty Baby and it was so special My sister gets my daughter AG Bitty Baby outfits and other play items for holidays and I love that she has that bond with my daughter.

You might also find that the birthday girl has a favorite historical AG and would like that instead of a doll in her own likeness. For that amount of money, I would check just to make sure!

@ktdid23: well put.

@mrs.lemon-lime: Kirsten was my first AG doll and I always thought it was so cool that she had her own stories and play sets that matched the stories. That was back when AG was actually called the Pleasant Company! I really love this year's Girl of the Year. She has pink hair and is a ballerina. Love it! Can't wait for my daughter to be old enough for a big AG doll!

@mrsh: thanks

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Ohh... I thought bc it's a god child at least he must be super close to them but I get that men don't like so ask questions lol. Honestly tho the gift rivalry shouldn't apply to god parents!

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Yay! I think she will feel so special esp now that she's no longer an only child!

I'm in the just buy it camp. But that's mostly because I don't feel really attached to being the one who buys things for my child. I think it's great that you want to do something so nice for her.

Have you thought about an AG gift card? There are awesome packages on their site. Maybe it is only for flagship stores though.
