My sister is 9, so not exactly one of the ages you asked about, but I figured close enough! After much harassing on my part for her to tell me what she wants I finally got this email:
Hi For Christmas I would like a barbie doll the three muskateeres one with the brown hair, the hair salon barbie and set. For my birth day I would like the twilight board game, the edward and bella barbie dolls,and barbie clean up pup. I relly like Barbies now and mom got rid of most of my barbie things . I love you! bye!
I then asked if she wanted any American Girl stuff and got:
If you could get me some american girl stuff for Josaphina that would be nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you to and I Can wirte in CURSIVE HOW AWSOME IS THAT!!! I love you and cant wait for the cruse ether
Seriously love that kid. So, I've gotten her everything except for the Edward and Bella dolls from the first email because they weren't out yet. And I haven't ordered any American Girl stuff yet. Her b'day is the end of Jan so most of the time I try to shop for both at once. But there you go - what a 9 year old wants straight from her own mouth.
