Kaya is the cut-off because if you were the target age demo for American Girl dolls and “yours” was a later one, you’re probably not a Millennial.
Anyway I was both a Felicity and an Addy girl!

This is the primary AG holiday decor in our house. Seemed unlikely that we could afford to collect all the historical holiday outfits, so this is the next best thing.

Earlier this month, American Girl re-released a whole lot of long-retired stuff from Kit Kittredge’s collection. 
Tumblr media
Kit herself never actually went anywhere. There was just nothing to buy for her. Doll, book, and that was it. But it’s the 20′s now, and AG is slowly turning the focus back to the historical characters. They’ve finally acknowledged that Kit is an icon and deserves to have the nice things that we all so desperately want to give her.
I was looking at the new stuff on the Wiki because I was curious to see if there were any changes made to anything. It’s part of the “homework” I do for the purposes of doll blogging. While doing that, I noticed that the page for each product mentions how much each item originally cost, alongside what it costs now. 
For example: Kit’s school outfit.
Tumblr media
This was first sold for $22 when it was released in 2000, along with the first half of Kit’s debut collection. Now they’re charging $38 for it, an increase of $16 or 72%. I thought that sounded a little excessive, even if 2000 really and truly was more than twenty years ago and inflation has gone wild since the pandemic began three years ago.
So I ran the numbers through the inflation calculator operated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 
Tumblr media
Look at that. It’s basically spot on. $22 in 2000, adjusted for inflation, is equivalent to $38.23 in 2023. I’ve been proven wrong.
I did the same calculation for her birthday dress and her pajamas, and those were both pretty much the same, since they were and still are similar in cost to the school outfit. 
Now for her cute little scooter, made from a box of California oranges.
Tumblr media
This was a later addition to her collection, coming along in 2006 for the price of $24. In 2023 it is now being sold for $50, a $26 or 108% increase. Let’s see how that tracks when adjusted for inflation. 
Tumblr media
Ooof. $24 in 2006 should only be $35.70 in today’s money, or $14.30 less than what it’s actually being sold for. So if this one feels a little overpriced, then it probably is, assuming that the materials and quality are the same. Both versions are made of faux wood, which means that the recently skyrocketing price of wood won’t affect this. Maybe there’s another increased cost somewhere that I’m not aware of. Or maybe AG has added a small nostalgia tax, a sort of “buy it from us or pay big bucks to someone selling it secondhand” reminder.
Another accessory that was brought back was Kit’s school lunch.
Tumblr media
This set includes her metal lunchbox, an embroidered napkin, a cheese sandwich, an oatmeal raisin cookie, apple slices, and for some reason.... three whole entire raw carrots. (There’s nothing wrong with carrots, but like. When’s the last time you’ve even seen an adult eat three whole carrots for lunch. Carrots are huge.)
Anyway. It was sold for $16 when it was released in 2000, and now they’re selling it for $36, a $20 or 125% increase.
Tumblr media
$16 in 2000 would be equivalent to $27.80, so her lunch set is overpriced by $8.20, assuming the cost of materials/labor have risen proportionally. 
And finally, Grace the dog. Named for her distinct lack of grace and adorable clumsiness. Sold for $16 when she was released with the second half of Kit’s debut collection. Now selling for $28 which is an increase of $12 or 75%.
Tumblr media
A 75% increase is very similar to Kit’s school outfit selling at a $72% increase, so my guess was that this is going to be a more reasonable price hike.
Tumblr media
Adjusted for inflation, $16 in 2001 is now equivalent to $27.30, so Grace is in fact underpriced by 70 cents! Personally I think AG charges a bit too much for all of their doll pets, but that’s just me.
All of this was really surprising to me. Inflation happens so quietly in everyday life. It’s only been really noticeable in the last three years, when it seems like everything has shot up in price. 
The inflation calculator goes all the way back to 1913. Now if you really want to see what those small changes look like after 90 years, check out how much a $150 doll like Kit herself would have cost in 1932, when her stories began: 
Tumblr media
You’d only need $6.71 in your pocket to bring Kit home. Imagine that.

The best part about about setting my Duckverse AU in the 1950s is that would mean Donald and Della grew up in the 1930s, which means I don’t even have to make new clothes for my Della American Girl doll.
She can use Kit Kittredge’s stuff:

Also this outfit isn’t Kit’s but it matches Della’s aesthetic too well to not include:

Did any of you participate in Hallmark’s Circle of Smiles promotion back in 2003? I’m surprised that I didn’t know about it back then, but I’m having fun collecting the merch now.
Tumblr media
Sixteen charms. Half with the characters and half with their favorite animals. Kaya’s character charm is on the bracelet.
Tumblr media
Two bracelets, portrait pins, and a necklace. (I already purchased the necklace a few months ago so the duplicate will be going on Mercari).
Tumblr media
Activity booklet, certificate of participation (whited out by previous owner) and autograph book with stationary supplies.
Tumblr media
Two cookie tins. The round one was empty when I got it. The rectangular one contains cookie cutters and recipes. (All of the recipes except for Kaya’s can be found in the cookbooks).
