American Girl Dolls
When I was a kid, I loved American Girl, and that fact meant I had all the books and one doll, who came with exactly one outfit and that was it. Today, my daughter has a Bitty Baby, a WellieWisher, a Truly Me doll, a Himalayan Kitten (what?!), two doll beds, 50,000 outfits, and 100,000 accessories, at a total cost of infinity. And she still wants more.
After all, the evil-genius brand comes out with a cool new doll like Taylor Swift-wannabe Tenney Grant ($115 for doll and book) way too freaking often. And since we live in Chicago, we get the added bonus of visiting the brand's colossal store for mediocre food, doll ear-piercing and hair styling, and design-your-own doll outfit station. If you need me, I'll be emptying my bank account.
