What a great Valentines! DH surprised DD and I with new dolls. She got Elizabeth and I got Felicity. What a surprise! It's my first brand new doll [img]biggrin.gif[/img] . My others have been from ebay. Here's where the decision comes in. DD already has Felicity so do we really need 2? I know need is probably the wrong word but. DH said he is fine with me sending her back for another girl. So should I:
A) Keep her because she is from DH
B) Get Addy - I think I can find an ebay Addy though once the prices come down. DH is even searching for me since I took the 25 day challenge
C) Get Kit - I love her collection but she will be around for a while
D) Get Jess - I love her too but my niece wants her if we go to AGPLA this summer and I don't want to take away from her. DD may want her too.
I'm just not sure [img]graemlins/thinking.gif[/img] ?

I think you should keep Felicity and maybe turn her into a today girl with a name change?

This is my personal opinion: If you like Felicity, by all means keep her! The fact that DH picked her out for you does make her more special. My Kit and Samantha were picked out by my Mother and they will always have a special place in my heart for that.
As for having two of the same doll, my Mother and I both have Molly. Molly was my childhood doll and my mother always loved her...so for Christmas 2004, guess who was waiting under the tree for her? It's never been a problem for us to have the same doll, it's even pretty cool since we swap clothes and accessories.
Just thought I'd weight in, since we're a double Molly household. [img]wink.gif[/img]

It is ok to have 2 Felicity's in the house. I think you should keep her cause she comes from the house. I would feel so quilty if someone gave me a nice AG present and then return it for something else. But then again, that is me. I treasure all the gifts I receive, even if I have them already.

Also, both Felicity's can use different outfits at same time. I got 3 Samanthas in this house and the only time they are dressed alike is when they wear their meet outfits or Holiday outfits. So, have fun with your new doll!
And congrats to DD on Elizabeth!!!!!

If it were me, I'd keep the Felicity--your DH already knew about the first Felicity--and, it's more special to have a doll your DH picked out for you. [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Happy Valentine's Day! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wow! Three votes for keeping Felicity. I was leaning towards Kit but I'm so undecided. DH won't be mad. He told me before I opened her that she wasn't what he wanted. He ordered her thru our PS and I think the money saved on the set swayed him. Felicity was never my favorite doll but she sure has grown on me! The good thing is I don't have to decide today.

What does Tori want to do? Does she want to keep her, or return her for another doll?
If she wants to return her, I would let her and dad sit down at the computer, and pick out a new doll together.
Great gifts, by the way! What a great guy! he deserves a great big [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img] from his girls!
edited to say that I read your post backwards. I thought Tori got Felicity! Duh! Well...I would send her back if you really don't want duplicate dolls. I think Kit or Addy are great choices. I wouldn't go the ebay route, though. If you have never had a new doll, I would pick a new one...since that's what DH gave you!

Since DH is fine with you picking out another doll,I say you go for it and pick out the doll you want like Kit.DH will be happy because you are.

We have two Felicitys here, a PM and a new Felicity. My daughter won a Felicity this fall at Barnes and Noble. Her initial thought was to sell her and get something else. She then decided this doll was special since she won her. The new Felicity has become Sarah Felicity and she is a modern girl and looks adorable with her hair in braids.
If you really want another doll though, I would say send her back and order the one you really want since your husband doesn't mind.

I agree that you should get the doll you like best if your dh doesn't mind the trade. If he had his heart set on getting Felicity for you, then that's a different matter. Any gift with [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in it is always more special.
As to having two of the same dolls in the house or not competing with someone else's wish list, I still think a person should get the doll they really want. Afterall, the doll would be your very own, for you to collect for and dress as you want.
