I dont have any girls to buy for this christmas but was browsing a catalogue and came across 'baby born' and 'baby annabell' dolls and accessories.......
omg they are SO expensive and some of the accessories are weird...baby annabell has a car she can go for a drive in :rolleyes:
How much for the car?75 blinkin quid:eek: you get a doll and the car that has lights plus engine and horn sounds and a pull along cord.....wow wee.
Other examples-horse riding baby born-riding outfit £20(jacks outfits cost that),stable (hinged door,roof and food tray-whoa getting good now:rolleyes:) £30,then horse seperately costs £25!!!!!plus obviously before that you need to have bought the ££35 doll.
All i can say is anyone that buys this stuff and supports 'Zapf creation' needs their head seeing too.....or their bank account emptying into mine.
 
Wait until your son starts wanting the latest designer football boots, you'll wish he was a girl then :D
 
So people pay that price and then go and give it to others on freecycle..........
pure madness.
No offense Kathleen x
 
My little girls into all that, yes its expensive. The Maundy shop on Abbey St has a Baby Born for sale at the mo.
 
WE struggled with this when Annie was young. They were called "American Girl Dolls." They, along, with the accessories were ~$100 back then. It was, "but this friend or that friend had them yadda yadda". "Why can't we afford it?"

It was a good lesson in "not keeping up with the Jones's." She couldn't understand that, because we don't buy this sort of stuff, we can afford it. While all these little kids are/were getting the latest and greatest, have parents who live pay check to pay check.

Okay, as a 7 year old she didn't quite grasp it but now being 18, she has a much better understand of more proper money matters.

Anything you can buy for a real baby you can buy for one of these baby Annabell / Baby born dolls.

There's nappies, changing stations, baby gyms, highchairs, car seats, prams, cot mobiles, the list goes on and as Miss Kitty says, they are all ridiculously expensive.

More fool anyone who shells out for all this gubbins, I say.
 
when my friends baby was born she was so tiny so fit into the baby doll clothed an they worked out cheaper than the premmie clothes...

Dont dolls clothes tend to be made out of cheap rubbish fabric?

I used to have a baby born, i did it the opposite way round and put my baby sisters clothes on the doll. Loads of fun.
 
My daughter is 3 and wants everything she sees on tv, have managed to keep it toned down but.......

Mind you you do find Argos do pretty decent offers with Baby born and Baby Annebelle (knowing father look ;))
 
when my daughter was little she was into cars and other boys stuff, not once was she interested in barbie or dolls!!

now she like the colour black and red and hates pink!!

she should have been a boy;)
 
My eldest niece one year wanted evel knievel stuff the bike and the stuff that went with it. My sis (her mum) said she wasnt having it so my mum (her grandma) went and bought it her!!! Now she has kids of her own and the eldest is a boy and all he wants for xmas is a new bike. Her daughter likes dora the explorer, cinderella and all princessy stuff.
