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.

Barbie Games for the Holidays


Holiday Barbie games are a big hit every year. For many young girls, you’ll find that the Barbie games are a perfect fit for just about any holiday giving celebration. For the group parties at school that require a five dollar gift, you’d be surprised at how many Barbie games you can find to take with you for less than your dollar threshold. Of course, you can spend far more than five dollars for the various Barbie games.

The holiday Barbie games are a big hit every year. Every year the Barbie games release a holiday doll that is bedecked in beautiful gowns and glitter. The Barbie games make it easy to choose gifts for the young girls on your list. You just need to head to the pink aisle and look through the collection of dolls to find just the right Barbie games for your collection.

Barbie Games and Imagination


There are too many preordained games today, but some of the classics like Barbie games let you still think about how you want to play and come up with your own scenarios and adventures. Think about how many games today have levels to pass and roles to play. Barbie games are all different, however. When you sit down with a naked Barbie game, you know that you can dress her up in anything you want and you can make her play any role you want. She can go from casual teen out on the town to a pretty princess ready to host a grand ball.

No matter what role you want her to play, Barbie is ready to fill in the role and she’ll do it with style and grace. Dress her up, dress her down and you can even make her own clothing for her. In fact, this is one of the most entertaining things older girls can do with their Barbie dolls. Make her a house, make her clothing and exercise your mind and imagination just a bit to come up with new plans and new ways to play. It’s all part of the Barbie games adventure.

Barbie Games and Halloween


I’ll admit that I’ve always wanted to play Barbie games for Halloween. I’d love nothing more than slipping on a pretty gown and some high heels to be my very own version of a Barbie doll. Granted, the dress might fit me just a bit differently than it would a real Barbie doll, but that’s something we can fix at least by taking advantage of some padding in certain spots. Imagine how much fun it would be to prance down the street bedecked in a sparkly gown with that certain element of glamor and style.

Of course, nobody would know that I was even dressed up as a Barbie doll without a certain element – the ultimate accessory. A big blonde wig would be the final element I needed to really make the costume pop. The long, lustrous locks of blonde would set off the look perfectly. I could walk down the street, showing off my Barbie self, and people from blocks away would be able to appreciate just how great my costume is thanks to the brilliant platinum hair and enhanced figure.

Barbie Games and Fashion Models


I went searching for a new Barbie game the other day for a birthday present. Normally I love looking through the aisles of Barbie dolls to find just the right one to give as a gift, and there were plenty there to choose from, but I’ll admit I’m a bit disappointed in some of the newer Barbie games in the list. Barbie has always been a hit for birthday parties, but I didn’t see the fun fashions and bright colors that I usually look for in the newest Barbie collection.

The new line of Barbie Basics doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I get it that they are supposed to look like basic Barbies who might be on the runway, but that’s not the point of real Barbie Games. The Barbie games are really about fun fashions and beautiful gowns. You’re supposed to make believe with the Barbie outfits and games and find new ways to wear the clothing. There isn’t much you can do with a pair of jeans and a tank top. Frankly I was unimpressed. Hopefully they dress up the new Barbie games soon.
