2025 American Girl/Pleasant Company Collecting Goals & Dressing All My Dolls!

[@luvlyleo2836]

I really want to finish up getting Kaya’s outfits. She has such great outfits

[@FixMyAGDoll]

Really enjoyed hearing about your goals for your collection! I got way too many dolls this year but still would really love to get Claudie and Addy next year! I also really want Addy’s Beforever School Outfit as well as Julie’s Calico Outfit. They were high priorities this year too but they’re just so expensive and I’m still hoping to hold out for a deal😅 Good luck with your collection!

@@agtwins7198 Claudie and Addy are both so stunning! And both of those outfits are absolute slays. Yay! I hope you're able to find them!!

Thanks for sharing your goals. You have me laughing so often when I watch your videos. In the 35+ years I have been collecting, I have amassed a large fortune in items, yet I have all the dolls but not the outfits. I am planning to scale back. Purchase the dolls with being more discriminative about which outfits I purchase. Having many additional outfits that are bagged/new in the box defeats my collecting purposes. The outfit you placed on Kaya is in a box never used. Seems gluttonous and wasteful in my mind. For 2025, I would like Rebecca's lavender dress and hat, as well as her Seaside Beach outfit, Kits red and yellow swimsuit set (people dislike it yet I find humor when I view it), Kaya's Trading Post and Pow Wow outfits (Beforever), Samantha's Travel Coat and Flower Picking dress. I made the effort to purchase it last week. When I went to purchase, the travel coat sold. That occurs when you attempt to bundle to save on shipping. I have most of everything else, including Bitty Baby/Twins available/retired. Continue as you are moving along. Buy what has value to you, opposed to what is available.

@@shavonn923 thanks so much for sharing! Such a bummer the coat didn't work out- that piece is so gorgeous! And i totally resonate with you- get what will bring you joy in the longterm, not just a quick dopamine spike to avoid feeling like you're missing out. Sending luck your way to find great deals on those outfits!

I love seeing your dolls and their outfits every video 💜 I agree that Nellie looks better in pastels and Samantha in darker tones! My goals are to get all of the classic mini dolls I’m interested in and make their meet accessories. I have a mini Elizabeth from my childhood and made her fan, necklace, and pinner cap. It has started an obsession!! Happy collecting 😊

[@FixMyAGDoll]

@@Bubbless555 omg so crafty! I love it! By classic mini dolls, do you mean the glass eye ones? I love the minis! Happy crafting 💕

[@Bubbless555]

@ sorry I should say the mini dolls made after the classics, when they replaced the glass eyes but still had soft bodies! I like the larger character range of them and they are better quality than the be-forever ones! Thank you!! 😊

I'm not a collector, I'm kind of getting into american girl and thinking of getting one doll. I want to read the books of the historical girls and choose the one I like best. Currently I like Nellie best, but I've only seen babbity kate's vidoes of Kirsten and Samantha part 1. It may change as I read the books. I found them scanned as ebooks and I'm excited!

[@FixMyAGDoll]

@@danisarmi30 that's so great! The books and the lore are so special. Nellie is such a great character!! Kit's and Addy's book series are absolutely incredible and stand out in my mind as favorites. Happy reading!

[@emilysmith196]

I only need Kaya's second fancy shawl outfit (the prices are making me cry right now), her deerskin outfit, and trading outfit to finish her collection. Also looking to complete my Emily collection (recital outfit and snowsuit) and start on my molly, julie, and rebecca collections!

[@FixMyAGDoll]

@@emilysmith196 kaya's collection prices are unreal! Hoping you find a good deal!! I've seen Emily's snowsuit for good deals recently- hoping you score one!!

[@dianaalmazan69]

My Wish List: I really want to find Josefina's Harvest Outfit (Brand New) I want two more Molly dolls from the 2010s to put into her Winter Outfit (Slicker, Rain Hat, Umbrella, and Galoshes) and School Outfit. I want two of Emily's Tap Outfits (One just for her tap shoes for my Molly) and another for another brand-new Emily, which I hope to get later next year. I really want a Brand New Cecile. There are obviously more things that I want. LOL.

[@FixMyAGDoll]

@@dianaalmazan69 that's a great list! I'm curious if there's a reason why you're looking for 2010s Molly dolls specifically? Just sentimental or do you like that era best?

[@dianaalmazan69]

@@FixMyAGDoll I received my first Molly for Christmas of 2010; therefore, I want to have all the dolls around that era. Also, I prefer dolls with chubbier faces.

[@FixMyAGDoll]

@dianaalmazan69 oh nice! Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I'm in a similar boat- I got my first doll in the mid 2000s and want to get all the things I wanted from that era as a child!

[@Courtneybenson907]

How do you put on Kaya’s Moccasins, and take them off, will be sending her to the care center sometime in the near future, which will require her to be naked.

[@FixMyAGDoll]

@@Courtneybenson907 really delicately 😭 to take off, I untie them very slowly, and then try to loosen the heel to pull off the rest of the shoe. To put on, I try to be as gentle as I can wriggling up the shoe over her heel. Pulling from closer to the heel (as opposed to the top of the suede) can also help reduce the likelihood of ripping.

[@Courtneybenson907]

@ Thank you so much, my Kaya is 17 years old, so hopefully everything will go well when I try to take them off. Kaya is very special to me.

[@FixMyAGDoll]

@Courtneybenson907 oh wow!! That is so special. Totally understand wanting to preserve everything as best as possible.
