Meet Accessories

Kirstenmeetacc — Kirsten's Meet Accessories.

The Meet Accessories are accessories that complement a Historical Character's meet outfit. This term was coined from both the titles of the historical books and the dolls themselves; the first Historical book was titled Meet ______ and the Historical Characters were originally sold with their Meet Books.^[1] Prior to retirement, Best Friend Characters' also received meet accessories.

Originally, meet accessories for the main historical characters included set items. This was a form of hat or headwear, a method of carrying things such as a tote or purse, and a historically styled necklace. Many also received handkerchiefs and representative coinage of the era.^[2] Kaya was the first to break the pattern; as Nimipuu people did not use then-European money or wear hats as expected by social obligation, she was not given either. After Julie, components varied, but a hat was frequently included with main characters and with a majority of Best Friend Characters.^[3]

With the BeForever revamps, components began to vary but included at least three items: a hat or form of headwear, a purse, and some form of accessory. The exceptions are Maryellen, who is not given a hat (even though young girls often wore them in public); and Courtney, who has headphones; by the 1980s hats were falling out of daily fashion for most people, she does not have one at all. (Julie's hat is more of a casual wear hat.) Accessory sets re-expanded to a set of approximately five components after the BeForever depreciation.

Meet Accessories are always offered to be bundled with the purchase of a Historical Character doll and her Meet Book for a discount; they can also be bought separately.
