Friends Forever Dolls Giveaway

GIVEAWAY SUNDAY

*** Thanks to everyone for entering. Kristy from Pajama Mama is the winner as random.org selected comment #26. Looks like Kristy will have a special Valentine's gift to share with her little girl.***

I like to run my giveaways for two weeks to give everyone enough time to enter, so the giveaways I'm hosting today here and at Chefdruck Reviews are going to close after Christmas and Hannukah. It's nice to know that the giving will continue long after Santa's gone back to the North Pole. In the meanwhile, I have some great giveaways that are closing next weekend, and will give you a few more chances to fill out your gift lists in time.

Today's giveaway is for a Friends Forever Girls Doll (retail value $89.00). The winner will be able to choose one of the four Friends Forever Girls currently available: Marlee, Natalie, Reina, and Nika. The dolls are racially diverse and each has her own distinctive personality so you can choose the one that your child or grandchild would most relate to. Each 18-inch doll comes with The First Day of Forever Book, jacket/shawl, and a purse or backpack. These dolls were the winner of the Dr. Toy 10 Best Educational Products of 1998 award.

To enter to win, just leave a comment here with your favorite Friends Forever Girls Doll by Saturday, December 27. I'll select a winner at random that night. As usual, you can get extra chances to win by linking to this contest on your blog, and subscribing to my feeds for Chefdruck Musings and Chefdruck Reviews.

These dolls have beautiful faces with expressive eyes and fun outfits that your child could imagine wearing in their day to day life. The focus of the accompanying books is on friendships and social development, an important issue for elementary school girls. My daughter loves her American Girl doll, but she just cannot relate to the historical story she came with. She grasps some of the concepts, but most of the story is over her head. The Friends Forever Girls doll books will bring up all sorts of issues that are directly relevant to your child and will provide a window for discussion as well as some great ideas for role play with the dolls. They encourage telling the truth, respecting yourself and others, and encouraging your friends. You can tell that these dolls were invented by a mom.

If you don't want to wait to see if you won this contest, you can also get the dolls right now at the Friends Forever Girls website for a special holiday price of $49 as well as at Costco and Sam's Club.

And don't forget to enter my other giveaways as well as those of my blogging friends:
