**Wendi and others w great gift ideas**
(Since your DD is the same or similar age...)
So, the BM has purchased everything for SD. This girl has nothing she wants cause 'Santa' has purchased it for her! UGH!...
Any suggestions? She's getting an Amer Girl Doll, a camcorder, and some other items... She has no need for clothes, not into makeup yet..., but does like to bake/cook when at our house... was thinking something with baking/cooking theme? She wears my cow print apron all the time...
I did see Amer Girl Doll crafts at Michael's, but wanted to see if there's something your girls like. She reads all the time, plays vioin (sort of...-which reminds me... where's the gal who teaches music?), not really into video games, has a gazillion webkins...
Just shooting in the wind here... Thanks!
Re: **Wendi and others w great gift ideas**
I think a mini apron for her that matches the one of yours she always borrows. Plus other baking items.
Other than that, you could get her some dvds of shows/movies she wants. Maybe a book in the series she's reading.
I agree with the baking theme! And, American Girls has cookbooks (I love American Girls btw) if you wanted to go that route...might be cute if you got other gifts related to baking/cooking.
There are cookbooks for each doll:

Also, there are a lot of American Girl craft books out there. I remember when I was younger my parents got me a Kirsten one that included materials to make wooden Christmas ornaments. I loved it, and still have the ornament. I just came across this one at Barnes & Noble:

They have something for each doll, or even a general American Girl one without the historical tie.
THAT is awesome! Thanks a lot!
I didn't know AGD had cookbooks-she'll go nuts! Hm.. Will have to look for the other things...
Thank you so much!
ETSY! OMG- THAT is some FABULOUS thinking here!!! And for her doll, too... You gals are amazing!
We do have a Color Me Mine around here, but they're duds at times when it comes to crafts. I think we have the boys figured out... the one-astronomy stuff -DH will figure THAT one out. The other-likes animals (it's ok to hunt deer, but not African animals-WTF?) DH thinks Cabela's has these hunting, fishing, etc games you can do on PS2. I may just get a Monopoly game for that one.
