Umm, maybe the children will have zero dolls instead of one..

2. Joanns is going out of business. Vulture Capital.

We picked up about two dozen Xmas and small "spare gifts for grandkids friend's birthdays or xmas" at 50 to 75%; craft kits, cookie cutters and candy making molds, hobby tools with components and puzzles. Also got plushy Xmas stocking stuffers and crazy socks. And, generic wrapping paper.
And a bin to hide them all in the closet with.
Not to mention enough cotton and wool blend yarn, cotton fabric, and sewing notions for any sewing or knit/crochet projects we are planning to engage in over the upcoming year.
Ya, it might be cheap Chinese stuff, but still around $250 well spent, instead of the probably $800 just to get half that amount later in the year.
