5 reasons why we love WellieWishers!
American Girl Doll is on many holiday wish lists. My oldest asked for an American Girl Doll for years before Santa actually delivered. Now that our littlest has been playing with American Girl for years with her sister, she has asked for her own. She fell in love with the WellieWishers display at the American Girl Doll Store in Los Angeles and has been wishing for one ever since. Today I am excited to share our last giveaway of the year! We are giving away a WellieWishers doll (of the winner’s choice!) to one lucky Highlights Along the Way subscriber!
I am so excited to put Willa under the tree this year for our daughter (don’t spoil the surprise if you see her!). WellieWishers are a fairly new addition to the line of dolls and stories from American Girl. Their costumes, imaginative stories, and little rain boots are so cute! I can’t wait to see my little one play with her hair and dress her in a fun wintery outfit! Below are a couple reasons why we love WellieWishers…..
- WellieWishers encourage friendship. We love that WellieWishers encourages building strong relationships. Each character has a distinctly different personality. Growing as friends and being kind is a great message.
- WellieWishers have a show and books that are perfectly tailored to younger children. Our daughter loves the show! WellieWisher books are very cute and a little lower reading level than traditional American Girl Doll books. Our 2nd grader has had a very hard time learning to read, but these books have been a great encouragement to grow this skill.
- WellieWishers are a much lower price point. Let’s face it, American Girl brand is amazing quality, but also pricey. WellieWishers are just as beautiful with lots of fun accessories, books, and adorable outfits; at about half the cost. Our littlest is only 7 and we think this is a great option to see if she can care for a ‘fancy’ doll.
- WellieWishers are a diverse group of girls. I love that this little group of friends represent several different races. As a mother through trans-racial adoption, this is especially important to me. My littlest has brown eyes, black hair, and brown skin; I didn’t realize that choices that look like her are quite limited in many doll lines. All that said, she wanted her first WellieWishers doll to be Willa because “She looks like my cousin and I want to hug her even if she isn’t at my house.”. Go figure, maybe she will add an Ashlyn doll to her collection in the future.
- WellieWishers can play ‘little sister’ to American Girl Dolls. When we visited the American Girl Doll store in Los Angeles, we saw that many of the WellieWishers were dressed up as mini versions of American Girl Dolls. My littlest squealed “This is the big sister and this is the baby sister, like how we have a big and little sister!”
Who wouldn’t love to win a WellieWishers Doll for their little one? I am so excited that Mattel has been kind enough to offer a doll for us to give away.

My daughters are too old for dolls so it’s time to get my grandchildren their first AG dolls. They love Willa!
We would love Willa! My daughter always is going crazy over her at stores!

Thanks so much for the chance! We would love an Emerson, there are so few dolls like her out there that I know my daughter would love her.
We would love a willa wellie wisher to gift to a deserving little girl this Christmas!!
My daughter would LOVE Ashlyn, so that she could style her hair. She only recently discovered Wellie Wishers and doesn’t have any….yet. Surprising her with a Willa for Christmas!
Willia is my favorite! My daughter likes to point out that she matches me in coloring.
My Grandaughter in New Zealand would be so surprised if I bring any of the Wellie Wisher dolls to her with me in January ❤️❤️❤️❣️
I think my daughter would love Camille but really any of them because she’s obsessed with rain boots. Love these dolls!
My daughter loves Wellie Wisher Dolls and basically anything AG. She would love a Camille doll. Thank you

Himy daughter would love the Emerson doll. These are so cute.
Willa looks just like my niece! We would love to have her.
They’re so cute! My daughter would love the doll with the ladybug boots!
With 5 girls in our family any of the Wellies would get a lot of love over here!
I had no idea about their backstory! They are all so adorable but the Ashlyn one would most likely be my daughters’ favorite since it looks just like her ♥️
