2016 Christmas Review & Giveaway - American Girl WellieWisher Dolls

It is October 1, 2016 and time for me to start my 2016 Christmas gift review and giveaway! The first two things I'm giving away are from American Girl - their new WellieWisher dolls! What is a "WellieWisher doll" you ask? Well, it is an adorable new line of dolls with a focus on friendships!

American Girl describes the WellieWishers as . . . "Meet the WellieWishers, a sweet and silly group of girls who each have the same big, bright wish: to be a good friend. Explore their world as they step into colorful garden boots and get ready for stomping in mud puddles, putting on shows, and helping friendships grow."

American Girl sent me -

American Girl - Wellie Wishers Camille Doll

American Girl - Wellie Wishers Kendall Doll

Favorite Features - 

• Five dolls are available - all are adorable and reflect different races
• Smaller than an American Girl Doll (14.5 inches tall) and all vinyl, but each doll comes in a very cute dress and wearing "wellie" boots . . . very fun design!
• Books are available to provide stories which girls are sure to enjoy!
• Designed especially for a younger girl - recommended age is 5+ (although I'm sure older girls will fall in love with the WellieWishers, too!)
• More affordably priced ($60 each)
• I love the focus on friendships and fun!

These dolls are absolutely adorable - a wonderful addition to the American Girl line of dolls - I am certain if I had a granddaughter, she would fall in love with the WellieWishers!

As I mentioned, American Girl sent me two dolls to review and give away . . . so I'm very happy to "introduce" you to these dolls!

They describe Camille in the following way . . . 

"Camille adores the ocean-and she's mellow as a mermaid. She's the one her friends turn to when they need someone to listen. This 14.5" doll is sized just right for younger girls. She has blue eyes, a freckle on one cheek, and silky blond hair which can be brushed and styled. Includes: a deep-blue tee with glittery mesh ruffle, a tie-dye print skirt with a handkerchief hem, a glittery mesh layer on top, and a bow at the waistband, a coral starfish clip for her hair, light-pink underwear and blue wellie boots with red fins and smiley fish faces."

And, Kendall in the following way . . . 

"Kendall is creative-she's always drawing and inventing. Leave it to her to patch friendly mix-ups with smiles, patience, and a handmade card. This 14.5" doll is sized just right for younger girls. She has deep-brown eyes and curly black hair in pigtails. Includes: an orange-and-white striped tee with a bold pink floral print bow, a light-blue skirt with white polka dots, a floral border, and blue tulle peeking out at the hem, a pink floral-print bow headband to show off her curls, light-pink underwear and bright-pink floral wellie boots" 

Both of these dolls are sure to delight any young girl who receives them - at Christmas . . . or any time! I'm giving both dolls away on November 30, 2016 - American Girl - Wellie Wishers Kendall Doll and November 28, 2016 - American Girl - Wellie Wishers Camille Doll!
