Let it go: The cost never bothered me anyway

What would you rather buy for Christmas this year: a brand new Dodge Challenger or a pair of dolls? Most Amercians would say the former, but Disney and its partners at Saks Fifth Avenue have other ideas. Theyâve created a pair of beautiful dolls inspired by the hit movie âFrozenâ that feature amethyst, orange and yellow sapphires, gold, tourmaline and diamonds woven into their clothing. The kit also includes the adorable snowman Olaf as an accessory. And just like the other dolls, heâs blinged out with 3 large, diamond-bejeweled snowflakes that are more valuable than the gems of the other two dolls combined! Whether this gift is for rich children, jewelry aficionados or elite Disney fans is a mystery. But if the value is the same, Iâd take the car any day. After all, you canât drive a doll.

âFrozenâ songs have been stuck in the heads of kids for years now.
