This set was introduced in 2018 and retired in 2021. It coordinates with Nanea's Tropical Birthday Outfit.
Nanea’s birthday celebration is extra-special. Ever since the war started, everyone is too busy to relax at the beach, so spending time with family and friends is the best gift of all. Nanea’s other birthday gifts are: A little pineapple-print skirt that her grandmother made for Nanea's beloved dog, Mele; A fabric purse from her sister with three kittens on the front. Nanea and her best friends are affectionately called “The Three Kittens;“ A pretend 1940s-era Kodak camera from her grandparents that stores photos inside; Two pretend black-and-white photos; A doll-sized Nancy Drew mystery book from her brother.
I knew I had to have Nanea's Birthday Accessories from the moment I saw that purse! Unfortunately the gold part of the purse (the clasp/closure part) feels really cheap to me, it's just really light weight and cheap feeling. Like the type of 'gold' that could easily chip off during play. This is for me, not my kids so that shouldn't happen but just a head's up. However, the purse itself is adorable looking and of course I love the kittens on it! It is cloth and can open which I like. The kittens are supposed to look stitched on but are just printed. The cloth is on the thin side as well. I love the look and style of the purse so do not regret getting it, but despite its look it was cheaply made IMO.
Mele's skirt that can match Nanea's Birthday Outfit is so cute and easy to slip around her, it does not velcro and looks very cute on little Mele! Simple, yet cute, can't complain! I love the pineapple print and colors used.
The Nancy Drew mystery book is nicely sized and hard back and has the actual writing inside it just like a real book! It's adorable. It's called 'The Mystery at the Moss Covered Mansion'. The sleeve can come off the book.
The camera is cute, it says "Target Brownie Six-20" on the front and "KODAK" on the back. You pull the front of it to open it up and can store the 2 photos in there that come with the set, which are of Nanea (book cover Nanea) and Mele (pic of an actual dog, not the plush). It's easy to open and close and is plastic, even the handle that's on top.
Overall I will give this set a B-. I love it for looks but the purse feels cheap and they really could've made that awesome IMO! Also if they'd used real metal clasps there wouldn't be the concern of a child stepping on it and breaking it like with this light plastic sprayed gold they did use (that's just a guess but what it feels like).
