If there ever was such a thing as sugar and spice and everything nice, then it lives inside a red and white box. The American Girl doll comes complete with clothes, accessories and lifestyle sets like sports, cooking and bathing. One can purchase just about every theme an imagination can dream up in the store of the American Girl Doll. Floor to ceiling American Girl paraphernalia line the walls and fill every square inch of the fantastical little shop in Alpharetta, GA (a suburb of Atlanta).
Rest assured the magic does not end once you reach adulthood. Even the grownups who cross through those big glass doors seem to mystically slip back into the fairy tale land of youth. This outing, which is a short 3.5 hours from Nashville city limits, could be turned into a wonderfully economical and memorable trip for the whole family. Oh! But one must guard their wallets and pocket books with care as the fairy tale is not cheap once you go inside.
In short, the American Girl Phenomena is an all encompassing idea that is centered around a little girl and her best friend doing all the things together that girls do. The concepts are endless. There is a girl of the year, currently it's Mckenna. Mckenna is featured in all the flyers, magazines and in the window of the stores. This year the focus is on all of Mckennas activities and adventures. "The important to budget travel is to approach in front. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the fact of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our heads. Organizing and expending our travel budget correctly is a consideration for most families. Minimizing consuming and expenses, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding economizing money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal funds is highly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel charge!..". Young girls can join the fun by purchasing her books, her lifestyle themed sets and by playing games on the internet via the site.
But thats not all. The best friend who is always there, can also be arranged to look just like its owner. Droves of circulations are released with pages of dolls who could potentially be the one. If a girl wears glasses, her American Girl Doll can be fitted with the same kind of glasses. If she has braces, there are American Girl Dolls with braces too. Even if an unfortunate mishap has befallen a child like a broken leg, she can be comforted that her American Girl look alike has a cast and crutches too.
Once in the store, a salon and bistro round out the full offerings of what you can do with your American Girl Doll. To experience the salon, you make an appointment, just like at the real salon. Then the American Girl waits for her turn in the salon chair as real live stylists create fabulously intricate styles on doll hair. For the bistro, a reservation must be made in advanced of your visit. The dining experience is nothing short of spectacular, for a doll shop. The American Girl Doll gets a place setting at the table just like her owner and the girl and her doll dine together on surprisingly tasty fare.
The note about price cannot be over looked. Even though one may pay 50-70 dollars for a tank of gas to drive to Alpharetta and an investment of a hotel may also be included (if this is not a day trip), but dont blow your budget on the truly exurbanite merchandise in the store. Be sure to look at the price tags. Dont assume that the price of a dolls accessory is on par with that of Toys R Us or Target. Quite the contrary, these dolls clothes, shoes, furniture, games, books, etc are closer to the price of real items for a real girl (or a real woman for that matter). The doll its self is over $100. (There is a newer less expensive addition to the American Girl Family, a baby doll called Bitty Baby)
One of the most sincere and impressive perspectives about the American Girl brand is the concerted effort to put forth diverse and true to life dolls that girls can accurately relate to. Every girl from every race and back ground can choose a doll that looks like them. Some of the races represented in the collections include, African American, Pacific Islander, Caucasian, Asian and Hispanic. There are outfits that match the different nationalities that the dolls can wear with pride (and in many case matching ensembles for her owner are available too). Historical characters like Addy and Kaya have accompanying books that tell their cultural story. These dolls do a great job of promoting self love in a big way.
Once you have exhibited self control, relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Visitors are made to feel special. Staff members are friendly and extending. You could forget that you are in "just" a doll store. Security agents with ear pieces stand guard at the door like the ones in Tiffany. It is truly a high end, once-in-a-lifetime experience for a little girl.
As stated before, the best thing about this excursion for Nashvilleans is (if one exhibits self control within the store) the American Girl Doll trip to Alpharetta, GA could really be a budget friendly trip to remember and one that wont break the bank.
