Released with Ruthie in 2008 and retired in 2014.
Her Accessories Set includes a purse, a hankie, two rose-shaped barrettes, and a pretrend watch with hands that "move."Meet Accessories Grade: C Unless you just want the complete set, I would skip the accessories. The hankerchief is just a printed piece of thin white cotton. The barrettes have a rose motiff, but they are plastic and look rather cheap and easily breakable. The watch would be cuter without with hologram sticker, which doesn't even look like it was printed very well (I couldn't get a close up on it). The band is black ribbon. I'm tempted to peel off the sticker and paint a face on the watch. The purse is the only redeeming item, which reminds me of my grandmother's old purses I played with as a child.

Grade B i liked the accessories after Emily's Meet Accessories I almost never wanted to buy another. The purse reminded me so much of my Grandma's purse. The watch is heavy and although it never shows up in the book the time on the watch is important part in the story. The purse and handkerchief also is shown the barrettes are the only down note in this set in my opinion they don't show in the story and they look horrible on her I rather put in the ribbon. I do agree with Kris though if you are not sure about this item don't you NEED to get it. The accessories to me seem to bet not as important to get as they once were.

Grade B, maybe B+ I really like the watch but I find it hard to put on Ruthie. Her purse is very cute and has a lovely click sound when you close it. My daughter makes sure Ruthie always has her purse with her. The hankie is alright, not much to play with. All in all I am happy we have the accessories.

I really like Ruthie's accessories. Hair-clips: These are really cute and are easy to put in and they stay in! A+ Purse: This purse is very accurate my grandmother owns an antique shop and she has had a few purses alot like this one before. I love this purse! A+ Watch: I really like the watch and the decal doesn't bother me but it would have been really cool if it had been a real face. A+ Hankie: The hankie is my least [favorite] part of the accessories just because it's basically a piece of cloth. I like how it matches her meet dress though! B Average rating A

Grade: C
I was super excited to get this set because of the purse, it reminded me of something my grandmother used to have but the material is very cheap and feels gross in my hands. The clasp on the purse is also plastic and I don't like how shiny it is.
The watch looks pathetic. The handkerchief is thin, definitely not the quality of past handkerchiefs.
The barrettes are nice but something else can be found for a lot cheaper than buying this set for $20.
I'm returning this, not worth the money.

Hair clips: nothing better than other AG hair clips I have. They're a cute design, I use them all the time, and they haven't broken. I'm pretty satisfied. A-
Purse: I love it. It is absolutely gorgeous, and holds A LOT. Whenever I travel with my dolls it holds all their jewelry. By far the best part of the set. A+
Hankie: It's a hankie, not much to expect. It just sits on my doll's desk, and it looks pretty. Not the best quality, but it isn't ripping in half. B
Watch: I think this is adorable. The ribbon strap is a bit annoying, but the hologram sticker doesn't bother me. It is difficult to get on, but it is so very cute. Overall, I do like it.
Overall, I would give the whole set about an A-. I am glad I bought it, no regrets.
