Released in 2008, retired in 2015. This set combines many (sometimes revised) components of earlier sets, including the pie, spatula server, and flowers from Addy's Party Treats, the doilies and forks from her Ironstone Compote Set, and her Ice Cream Freezer. Addy’s tenth birthday will be extra-special with this set. When it’s time for a celebration, Addy can share tasty treats with her family: A pretend cherry pie in a metal pie pan. 2 pretend pieces of pie and ice cream. A wooden ice cream maker with a paddle. A ceramic vase filled with fabric flowers. 3 crocheted doilies. 2 ceramic bowls and two silver-colored forks. A metal spatula.Overall, I really like this set. I bought it on sale for $58, which I think is a more realistic price point. I don't think I would ever have taken the plunge at $68. First, the excellent...the ice cream maker is wood and well made. The rest of the pieces are all good quality. Yes, the ice cream is attached to the pie and as always you would need about double the flowers to make a good bouquet. What really bothers me about this set is the scale. As you can see in the picture, the tines of the fork are the size of the pie slices. Either, that's one small pie or a shovel for a fork. Grade: B

There are 2 versions of this.
The earlier version is more of a red denimn and in line with ONB carrier.The later one is more of a cotton twill.
Both hold Bitty Baby and Bitty Bear. Lots of play value. Grade: B

First Impression: Nice material For Bitty: A very traditional holiday / picture outfit. It may not be my personal taste, but it is very nice. The material and quality is nice. The hat does not fit well at all. The color of the patent 'leather' is very nice, but the soles are a bit thick. The stacking Christmas tree is a cute baby toy. Grade: A - For Big Girls: Length is still good! A great holiday option. Hat is still iffy. Grade: A- IN Conclusion: A good, sisters holiday dresses option

First Impression: I need some apple cider and donuts For Bitty: The pants are the only drawback to this cute outfit; they are thin and feel kinda cheap. the hoodie, with the leaf detail is great. The leaves on the hoodie match the super cute leaf sorter toy! The sox and shoes are perfect for a crisp fall day. Grade: B For Big Girls: Works surprisingly well, with the exception of the pants (again). Grade: B IN Conclusion: Worth it for the toy alone, I can see a little one playing with it for a long time.

First Impression:Beary cute, sorry...I couldn't resist For Bitty: Costume is hard to get on. This was new out of the box and stiff, so perhaps with some use it will get softer. Bear has a mask. There is color crayons and book and even a pumpkin for collecting treats. Grade: A For Big Girls: NA, does not fit IN Conclusion: No tricks here, a unique outfit worth adding to your collection.

First Impression: Lots of pieces For Bitty: This is a nice set. The print is cute, but casual...more like something mom would make,than a fancy holiday dress. Sadly, the shoes are the horrid plastic ones, but add ons are fabulous; a holly headband, headband and bib for bear, stocking for bitty with 'candy cane', color book and crayons Grade: B For Big Girls: Very short, I could see it worn as a tunic with jeans or leggings for a holiday party. Grade: C IN Conclusion: Cute,but ifyou want a holiday dress,you might opt for one of the fancier versions.

First Impression: Love the apple! Love the shoes, they are like my son's 'Vans'. For Bitty: Not my favorite outfit. But the shoes and apple make up for it. My 9 year old son came through while I was taking pictures and ended up playing with it for a half hour. It is a music box that plays a tune while you crank the handle, then the worm pops up. Hat actually fits. Grade:B For Big Girls: This works surprisingly well. Top is a bit young, but leggings and shoes are fantastic. IN Conclusion: One of the few outfits, I got 'to complete' the set, but surprise! like it.

First Impression: Is this going to be hard to put on. For Bitty: Easier to put on than it looks. Print is adorable and consistent with early blue and heart pattern. Toy, musical snowman is just ok. Bear gets a little hat. Grade: B For Big Girls: NA IN Conclusion: A great addition to your collection, it is unique and great for winter.

First Impression: Great play set For Bitty: There is so much in this set! Dress is just precious, with heart detail, red patent shoes (yeah! one of the first sets to ditch the plastic shoes). Color crayons and color book. Mailbox and 3 valentines. Hat is just OK, does not fit with strap. Grade: A- For Big Girls: Although it is a bit short, I do really like this dress on the big girls, I can see them wearing it to a special Valentine's party. Don't even try the hat. Grade: B+ IN Conclusion: Love that these early sets have such play value.

First Impression: Love the print! For Bitty: The print is adorable. and the bonnet with the ribbon and flower accents are very special. Bear gets bunny ears and a boy tie. The Easter egg and chick squeek, something you would expect in a childs easter basket. The shoes are the unfortunate plastic one...easy enough to substitute a pair of black patent mary janes. Grade: A For Big Girls: Short and and young looking, but still cute. Grade: B IN Conclusion: I love this set, because I consider it perfect for babies.

First Impression: Love the print For Bitty: The print is adorable, something I would dress my daughter in. The hat is cute, but does not fit very well. Bear's hat, watering can and rake really add to the play value. The shoes are the unfortunate plastic ones. Grade: A - For Big Girls: NA, does not fit. IN Conclusion: Lots of play potential with this set.

First impression: Very Special, indeed For Bitty: The detailing, high quality and bonnet really make for an exquisite outfit, it is quite long and goes about 2" past bitty's feet. It also come with a bonnet for bear. Grade: A For Big Girls: Can easily be used as a nightgown and sleep cap! Grade: A IN Conclusion: Very charming!

First Impression: Lots or pieces For Bitty: Very age appropriate, nice and soft and cute detailing. The sneakers are beyond adorable. The hat is really a waste and doesn't fit or look well. I love the toy and bears dress. Major plus that this is more of a playset than just an outfit. Grade: A- For Big Girls: It fits and the shoes are perfect, but the outfit is a bit young for them...and don't even bother with the hat. Would work well as PJs. Grade: B- IN Conclusion: I picked this up early,necause it was so reasonable and I really like it.

First Impression: The knit is amazing For Bitty: This set is great quality, the knit is so soft and perfect. The blue detail around the cuffs of the sleeves and edge of cap really adds a nice touch. Comes with matching bonnet for bear and toy car. Grade: A For Big Girls: NA IN Conclusion: This outfit took me awhile to find, but it was worth the wait.

First Impression:Too bad it's no longer unisex For Bitty:The design and material are perfect. The detailing very charming. Grade: B+ For Big Girls: NA In Conclusion: Although I am sad at the departure from unisex, this outfit was cute enough for me to buy the matching nightwown for my daughter.

First Impression: Well made For Bitty: The material is very nice, thick and luxurious, without being stiff. The hard head bands, just don't work for bitty, it's sad for bitty that AG seems to be falling to this more and more for an accessory. T strap shoes might be a bit old for baby, but they are soft soled and match perfectly. Grade: A- For Big Girls: Super charming on the big girls, once again the headband, is very nice for the big girls. The length works well and is not too young looking. In Conclusion: I think these would make a great 'sisters' dress, I might buy another so they can wear at the same time.

First Impression: So much better than the AG picture: For Bitty: The whole outfit is darling. The stripped tights have sparles in them. The scarf works well with velcro so you don't have to try and get it over her head. The shoes are hard soled and suede. The snow globe is one of the best toys I have seen and bitty has a scarf as well. Grade:A- For Big Girls: Although the skirt is a bit short, I actually like the look better on the big girls. Grade: A In Conclusion: A great outfit for both sizes!

First Impression: So glad I took the time (and spent the money) on this one. For Bitty: The wings are detachable and this is a very adorable dress on it's own. The detailing of the flowers is exquisite. The light green sash and soft satin shoes add to the fresh feel of the outfit. I feel like I am in the middle of 'Midsummers Dream'. The soft headband is much more appropriate to a baby, than the current hard plastic ones they are doing now. Bitty bear has wings too! I always love the toys, this spins. Grade: A+ For Big Girls: Just as charming on the big girls, length is great! Grade: A+ In Conclusion: One of my favorite outfits

First Impression: Yea, it's not faux layered For Bitty: Love that it could work with or with out the tee. The pattern and lacy could not be more charming. The heart is a box, it has a puzzle inside, but I like to pretend it's chocolates The shoes are nice,fit well and age appropriate. The flower detail on bucket hat is nice, it goes well, with out being matchy-matchy. Grade: A For Big Girls: Fits well! The dress is a good lentgh. It is till charming, but not too young. Grade: A In conclusion: Works really well for both sizes!

First Impression: would work for thermals For Bitty Baby: The slippers are way too small! I laughed when I looked at the official AG picture, Bitty only has 1 slipper on, the stylist gave up putting it on and attached it Bittys hand, I don't blame them. The snowflake pattern on the pants is nice, but the top is an iron on. The cap is picturesque, but just OK to me. Grade: C For Big Girls: Although they have their own version of this outfit, it does fit for those who want to share. Slippers do not fit. In conclusion: It's OK, but with all the sleep wear options, I would pass.

First Impression: Love it, especially for last chance price. For Bitty: It fits well and works great as summer PJs, love the pattern (stars and moons, of course) ans the lace detail. I liked the slippers, and although the are soft soled, thought the could actually pass for dressy shoes. The night light is very fun! Great addition to those who have bitty set-ups. Grade: A For Big girls: Like it even better for the big girls. It feels very classic sleep ear, vs trendy. My shoes did fit for the big girls. Grade:A In Conclusion: I really loved this set. As I said, I like the classic touch.

First Impression: It's special Occasion II For Bitty: The dress it self is sweet. Soft yellow aith lace detail. Material is a bit scratchy, but will be durable. The shoes are adorable and very age appropriate. The bonnet adds so much charm. One of the last outfits to come with a toy: It has a picture frame of Bitty Bear in special occasion. Grade: B For Big Girls: Take away the bonnet and shoes and this really works for the big girls. It makes a very fitting dressy dress for a bridesmaid or flower girl. This is a heck of a lot cuter than Sam's bridesmaid dress and with the pink detail could still work with the accessories. Grade: B+ In Conclusion: It's cute for bitty, bt I actually like it better for big girls.

First Impression: Wish it was more unisex For Bitty: Little hearts pattern and edging detail is darling. I like the side closure and bows, very true to life. Grade: B For Big Girls: NA In conclusion: As, I said only wish it was more unisex for those who 'have' a boy.

First Impression: Can't believe how cheap I got this outfit! Way better than AG pic! For Bitty: Super sweet. The ruffled top is just perfect. Reminds me of Koala Kids, IRL. This is def. something I would buy my daughter. The hat and shoes are top notch as well. Grade: A+ For Big Girls: Some how, just as perfect for the Big Girls...really the pictures say it all! In conclusion: One of my favorite outfits. I was skeptical, because the AG pic was so bad, and I got it for so cheap, $10!

First Impression: Love the shoes! For Bitty: This is a classic look, almost Chanel for babies. That Satin on the top doesn't quite go, and watch out for the high snag potential. The hat and the shoes make the outfit. Grade: B For Big Girls: This is actually more age appropriate for the big girls, Fits well. Grade: B+ In Conclusion: I don't know if I would pay full price for this, but I got it jst above retail price and I was quite pleased.

First Impression: Paper crown? Why bother. For Bitty: Love the cupcake! Paper crown aside, this outfit is very nice and something you would buy for baby's first birthday. Grade: B+ For Big Girl: I thought this was going to look way too young, but I actually thought it looked good. Good fit. Grade: B In Conclusion: The cardigan is the star of this outfit, fits Bitty and Big girls well. Lots of mix and match potential
