a $200 AG gift certificate, what would you buy with it?
Definitely furniture for my girls!
Furniture, clothes, accseories!
I would get:
?Flapper Costume
?Bennet
?Molly's Party Games
?Kit's Birthday Dress & Headband
?Kit's Winter Coat
?Kit's Beret and mittens
?Kit's Photography Set
?Kit's Reds Fan Outfit
?Kit's Beach PJs
And that comes to $202.95, so I guess I'd have to spend 2.95 of my own cash, but it would be well worth it for that loot!
If only...
::starts daydreaming of mysterious AG donation::
I wish AG would do more of the gift certificate giveaway sweepstakes they used to do on their website! I remember that several years ago they had a $250 gift certificate sweepstakes. A couple people from the board won, but not me, unfortunately!
You could do a lot with $200! I think I'd get:
Samantha's Holiday Coat
Nellie's Holiday Coat
Penny (for the sleigh)
Gingerbread House Kit
I've always wanted to try that gingerbread kit but never actually bought it. In all, that comes up to $127. I'd probably spend the rest on books. I'd like to work some more on my historical book collection, which sadly tends to get pushed aside whenever something new comes out for my girls. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I feel the same way about the books. I want to have all the Story Collections, World books and short stories and Mysteries for each doll, but I'm always like "I can get that at Barnes & Noble."
I forgot about the horse for the sleigh! I'd definitely want to get the horse. So then in addition I'd get Addy's table and chairs, Addy's bed, and a couple of the historical girl mystery books to round it out.
I always get the books at a local bookstore, too, unless I've got a little extra room in an AG order before I move up to the next s&h bracket. That's because, if the Barnes & Noble doesn't have the book you're looking for, they'll order it for you at no extra charge! Sure saves a ton on shipping!
To Ann ~ It sounds like you bought the sleigh sans horse, too! I was hoping that, with all the Felicity reissues and such, they'd change Penny's bridle to be fully removable, like the Palomino's. But it doesn't look like it. [img]frown.gif[/img] So as soon as I've saved up the cash, I might as well go ahead and get her!
Hmmm. I would order Samantha's Trunk, and Steps High. That is more than $200, but not a whole lot. :-D.
I would either get the Sam and Nellie carriage, OR I would buy the books because I like having the whole set with the slipcase...the problem is, they sost like 35 dollars or something and whenever I have that much money I would rather spend it on doll clothes or something than the books.
Wow, this was more difficult than I thought. I'm skipping the items I have already pre-ordered for Felicity because that money from my grandma is hiding in the drawer. This is purely "bonus" money, right?! And free shipping on this order, right?! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
1. Molly's table and chairs $65
2. Posie $18
3. Snowboard outfit $24
4. Coconut PJs for dolls $22
5. Palomino horse $62
6. White Tennis Shoes $8
Total: $199

Hmmm . . . let's see:
Kit w/Accessories
Addy's Cape Island Dress
Samantha's Talent Show Dress
Josefina's Weaving Outfit
Kaya's Accessories
Molly's Route 66 Dress
I would get something big that I wouldn't just go out and get for myself:
Kit's trunk or
Samantha's trunk
Felicity's bed and Felicity would also be good
A set of dishes (can't decide wich one)
either of those I think
Kathrine
I'd definitly get Felicity's carriage. I totally love that, but it's bound to be expensive.
I'd let my 2 DDs each take about $50, and I'd take the rest to buy myself an Addy. She's my favorite, but neither of my girls like her all that well. I think her stories are the dearest, and she's just as cute as cute can be!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Me too! I love Addy, and I would like to have her someday... [img]biggrin.gif[/img]Quote:

hmmmmmmmm, i'd get:
AGT palomino horse
josefina's cocina supplies
josefina's summer riding outfit
josifina's sheepskin and blanket
AGT "on the go" outfit
marisols ballet outfit
I would get:
Samantha & Nellie's Sleigh
Nellie's PJ's
Nellie's Holiday Dress
I think that adds up to about $200.
Yeesh, I really wouldn't be getting much, would I?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Me, too! So I would definitely get Felicity & Elizabeth's Carriage!!Quote:

My sleigh has a runaway horse too. I'm thinking of getting the carriage but should probably get a horse first. Otherwise, the dolls will just have to pretend they're going places.
When I was young, far down our hill, deep in the woods was an old, rusted out, vintage car. My siblings and I had so much fun playing in that old car, pretending to drive places. If I don't get a horse, poor Nellie, Elizabeth and friends will just have to pretend.

All the mini historical dolls [img]wink.gif[/img]
I'm skipping the 14 item order that I am going to place with them in the next two weeks-I'm in the process of selling and reselling. *grins*
Nellie's Irish Dance of Today
Samantha's School Dress
Samantha's Bathing Suit
Samantha's Cranberry Dress
Samantha's Winter Coat
Grecian Princess Outfit
Tropical Breezes Outfit
Beachside Outfit
Or maybe I'd get Marisol's complete collection and throw in 50 dollars of my own money [img]smile.gif[/img]
Probably a new outfit for each of my dolls, and what's left over I'd put towards either Josefina or a new AGT doll.
Now I just need to find someone to give me a $200 gift certificate... [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

Addy's BD Outfit
Addy's Cape Isle Dress w Book
Addy's Striped Dress
Molly's Green Velvet Dress
Kit's BD Outfit
Kit's School Outfit
Kit's Book Bag
Kit's Holiday Outfit
Samantha's Holiday Dress
Nellie's Holiday Outfit
I think I am over $200., so I'd better stop here...

Sandy
Well, the practical Becca would sit down and look through all the collections to strategize and arrive at the following list of items that have a greater chance of being retired:
Kirsten's Work Dress - $20
Addy's Work Dress&Apron - $20
Samantha's Lawn Party Outfit & Shoes - $32
Samantha's Tea Dress - $24
Samatha's Play Dress $22
Molly's Travel Collection - $70
Total: $188
Then, of course, my own girls would riot, so I would arrive at this revised list:
Marisol's spotlight outfit - $26
Marisol's Stage and Tiara - $30
Felicity's Windsor Writing Chair - $62
Felicity's Table and Chairs - $98
Total: $216 (well, they were rioting, after all)
Of course, if said gift certificate arrived a couple weeks from now, I'd probably blow it all on new Felicity stuff. [img]wink.gif[/img]
- Becca
Addy clothes and maybe Addy herself.
Samantha *and* Elizabeth, so I wouldn't have to decide between the two!
Accesories for Sam, but not E-beth, as I don't like hers much. Maybe I'd use a code and add on an outfit.
Hmmm....very hard!!!
1. Samantha's Talent Show dress $24
2. Samantha's Tea dress $24
3. Kit's Reds Fan outfit $26
4. Marisol's Tap Outfit $26
5. Marisol's Spotlight outfit $26
6. Marisol's Ballet Outfit $22
7. Addy's Cape Island dress $24
8. Josefina's Weaving outfit $24
9. Josefina's Nina doll $12 on monthly specials
My total is $208, so I'd have to add $8 in, but I wouldn't want to waste one cent of my gift certificate! [img]wink.gif[/img]
Hmmm... Well, before I bought anything with my free $200 American Girl gift card, first I would run around, jumping and screaming. After I got that out of my system, I'd probably buy these things (assuming that there's free shipping):
*Kit's Christmas Outfit: $22
*Kit's Reds Fan Outfit: $26
*Molly's 1944 Swimsuit: $24
*Kaya's Adorned Deerskin Dress: $26
*Josefina's Weaving Outfit: $24
*Felicity's Christmas Gown: $24
*On-the-Go Outfit for Dolls: $34
*Snowboard Outfit for Dolls: $24
Of course, I'd have to throw in $4 of my own, but I think I could swing it. If only I really had a $200 American Girl gift card...
Just wanted to ask - does it scare anyone else how easy it is to mentally spend that $200? [img]wink.gif[/img]
- Becca
I would get:
AGOT Grecian Princess Outfit
AGOT On- The Go- Outfit
Felicity Bed
Felicity's bedding
Elizabeth's Bedding
I would get:
- Elizabeth + her accessories
- Her Holiday gown
- Her Cape
- Her Nightshift
- Her doll
Oooo.. hard choice, either as many Felicity outfits and accessories as possible, or just as many outfits as possible.
Right now it would probably be Marisol's spotlight outfit and stage, and then Felicity outfits.
