Barbie Games on Sale!

I was browsing the aisles of my local stores looking for the perfect assortment of gifts for the holidays and I stumbled across more than a few outstanding sales on Barbie games. Sadly I didn’t need as many Barbie games as I could have purchased by taking advantage of the sale, but I was impressed nonetheless. Normally you’d expect to pay close to a ten dollar minimum for a basic Barbie doll, but some of the sales I’ve been seeing would have let me buy some new Barbie games for about four dollars per doll.

The Barbie car was available for close to ten dollars – it’s normally closer to twenty. The Barbie playhouse was marked down almost forty percent. It made me wish that I had more nieces and young friends who love Barbie games as much as I do. Then, at least, I could have truly taken advantage of the sales and enjoyed having those pretty pink boxes wrapped up under the tree. As it is, I was able to buy a couple of Barbie games at least and I’ll just have to enjoy the rest as the situation arises – maybe next year will be my year for Barbie games.

Barbie Games and Heads

I love the Barbie games that feature a large Barbie head. I have almost bought the Barbie games like these for friends and children of family members countless times. A few times I’ve given in to the urge to buy them and other times I’m a bit more restrained and I wonder if the doll head would be something that the little girl in that family would really enjoy. The last thing I want to do is give someone a Barbie games gift that they can’t enjoy or use right away.

Fortunately, at least a couple of times I’ve been able to find the Barbie heads for a reasonable price and I grab them for girls that seem to be the right age – just old enough to want to fix hair and play beauty parlor, but not so old that they are out of sorts with getting a Barbie game for Christmas or a birthday. It can be a dangerous game to play at times – how do you know when a girl is in love with Barbie games and when she’s outgrown them? Regardless, I love the Barbie heads for girls at any age – what’s better than mindless fun styling hair anyhow?

Barbie Games and Christmas

Christmas is fast approaching and I’ve been a bit surprised by how few pages of the toy catalogs seem to be dedicated to Barbie games. Normally, you’d expect to see pages and pages of Barbies all lined out across the page in a variety of outfits and styles,. There are Barbie games for major movies. There are Barbie dolls with mermaid tails and wings like butterflies. Barbie games include any number of accessories as well, and normally I can spend quite a bit of time looking over the options to see what’s available this year.

For whatever reason, I haven’t had the same reaction this year to the Barbie games. Maybe there’s just not as much in the catalogs, but really I think it’s more than that. I’d like to see a new tactic for the Barbie games. How about some totally new careers? Or perhaps a new boyfriend? Let’s really shake things up with Barbie games in 2012. The Christmas catalogs are starting to look a wee bit stale, and Barbie games should never be stale.
