Purse: Obviously didn't pay much attention to it (got this set on sale solely for the book) because I thought it was a muff. Once I realized it was a purse, though, I think it's really cute and unique. Grade: A
Bracelet: So pretty, but neither my mom nor I could get it on a doll. It just fell a bit too short. I plan on adding another ring to the edge that meets the clasp. Grade: D for fit fail but pretty
Earrings: I like that they included both stick-on and pierced earrings so you could use them even if your doll didn't have pierced ears, but still got an extra set of pierced earrings (which IMO are worth more because they are more reusable) for dolls that are. They are pretty and the stick-on ones are not cheap looking. Grade: A
Box/Present: It seems pretty sturdy. I kind-of geeked out at this because while it (like other AG present boxes) wasn't one of those things that said "buy me!" it's definitey an accessory I can use. I also like how it looks like a wrapped jewelry box (probably a larger jewelry box for the scale, but same general shape). Grade: A
Book: Eeeeep! I was so excited when I saw this in the accessories but didn't want to pay full price just for that. I'm glad I got it on sale. I worked for a library and also volunteered with the children's librarians, and this was one of their favorites for Christmas-themed programs. The illustrations are beautiful (just like the real thing). The book brings back a lot of memories for me and definitely some library love. Grade: A+
Overall Grade: B
Most of the accessories are high quality, but I'm also taking into account the price. I doubt I would have bought it if it wasn't on sale because while you get a decent number of pieces, they aren't all really that substantial.
