2017 Christmas Gift Review & Giveaway - November 29, 2017 - Nanea - American Girl Doll

I'm very happy to share with you about a new American Girl Doll - and announce the giveaway for Nanea - American Girl Beforever Doll (nah-NAY-ah)! Each year I'm always so happy for the opportunity to let you know about a new American Girl doll, but more than this, I'm always happy for the opportunity to give one away, knowing a little girl will receive it and be so happy to have her! Nanea is a beautiful doll - whatever little girl receives her is sure to love her!

 Nanea - American Girl Beforever Doll
Made by - American Girl
Ages - 8+

Favorite Features -
  • I love Nanea’s beautiful hair and her soft, huggable design . . . little girls are sure to fall in love with her!
  • Includes a book with Nanea's story.
  • I love how Nanea’s story, Growing Up with Aloha,  includes a challenge and shows how she faces and overcomes it – great encouragement for all girls, no matter the challenges they face.
  • Soft cloth body, vinyl head with rooted hair and eyes which open and close – Nanea is a doll little girls will love, and save to one day pass on to their own daughter/granddaughter/niece as she is heirloom quality.
American Girl describes Nanea as; “Kind-hearted, helpful Nanea Mitchell has big hazel eyes which open and close, and wavy dark-brown hair. She has a huggable cloth body, and her movable head and limbs are made of smooth vinyl. She arrives in an authentic 1940s-style outfit: A button-front pake blouse with an island graphic, Sailor-style moku shorts, underwear, shoes with crisscross straps, and a faux-hibiscus flower hair clip.”
    Nanea is a truly lovely doll, made to the standard we have come to expect from American Girl Dolls. I love how American Girl created her to both represent Hawaii and the 1940's to give girls today an idea of what life was like there and then.

     I'm very happy to say, Folkmanis sent me one Nanea - American Girl Beforever Doll for me to review, and I'm adding it to my give aways for this Christmas (USA only). If you are over the age of 18 and would like to enter this drawing for one Nanea - American Girl Beforever Doll which will be on November 29, 2017,  please comment below to share who you will give it to if you win.

    In addition if you have followed on Google Friend Connect, followed by liking on facebook with the tab in the "Find us on Facebook" box ON THE BLOG or at this link (not just liking the post) and/or have followed grandma's cookie jar by email you will receive one entry for each of these which you have done. Plus, if you "share" this post, you'll receive another entry (please let me know if you share). This will help me be able to draw names from among people who would like to win one Nanea - American Girl Beforever Doll and it gives you several ways to enter the give-away! Thank you for reading grandma's cookie jar and for sharing it with the people you know!

      My daughter would love her! She's been reading about Pearl Harbor and loves the idea of visiting Hawaii (maybe one day).

      Thanks for the great giveaway! :-)
