Gear Diary Fancy Nancy Holiday in App Buys for the iOS App photo

When my daughter turned 4 (I think it was), Sami and I had a “dress-up party” for her and her friends.  Sami gave her a big cedar chest that we had filled with dress-up clothes, and all the kids dug into it.  I don’t remember what other things Sami organized at that party, but the dress-up chest was a big hit, and got lots of use over the next few years.  But hey, it’s the era of tablets and smartphones, and Fancy Nancy, the app, is offering (of course!) holiday-oriented dress-up in-app buys:
