NOVEMBER 2016 ;e Costco Connection 81
SINCE ITS inception in
1986, American Girl has
devoted its entire business
to fueling connections
among girls and helping
them to reach their full
potential, earning the
loyalty of millions of
youngsters and the
praise and trust of
parents and educators.
As the mother of a 7-year-old daughter, I
appreciate the wholesome, inclusive and age-appropriate approach to doll play that
American Girl represents. American Girl is
mindful of the proportions of the doll, the
shape of the face and the fashionably modest
apparel and footwear. In a generation when
electronics are prevalent, I’m thrilled to see
my daughter immersed in imaginative play.
(The only thing I can’t get used to is when she
asks her doll to call me Grandma.)
As a buyer, I’m excited about our partnership with American Girl. Costco is the only
warehouse club to sell American Girl dolls,
and the only retailer to offer these products at
an incredible value.

The Samantha Parkington doll is one of
the first three historical characters that
American Girl released. A compassionate girl
growing up in New York in 1904, she helps
girls learn kindness and generosity. Costco is
offering Samantha in an exclusive set that
includes her outfit, a party dress, a fancy coat
set and her Manners and Mischief book.
Born from the ideas of child-develop-
ment experts, Bitty Baby inspires first steps
into learning, loving play and imagination for
children age 3 and older. Costco is offering a
12-piece Bitty Baby set that includes a Bitty
Baby doll (three to choose from, with differ-
ing skin tone and hair color), diaper, sleeper,
top, leggings, bib, hat, rattle, baby bottle, boo-
tees, quilt and carrying case.
Costco rounds out the selection with a
Horse and Saddle and a Sleepover Set from
American Girl. All of these items are priced at
a substantial savings.
