How would you feel if someone gave you BJD clothes as a gift?

I'd be very grateful if someone bought my girl clothes. But since they wouldn't know anything about dolls, they'd come to me. It would be a very nice gesture if they bought some random outfit off of ebay or somewhere, though. Even if it didn't fit, I'd keep it. Who knows, it may fit a doll I get in the future.

 

Be glad that your family is interested enough in your hobby to try to get you something you want. I show my dolls to my sisters and usually get a yawn. One of my sisters made me a leather dress for one of my dolls, but I had asked her to make a vest. Just be glad that they are trying!

 

My birthday was 20 days ago. I didn't receive dolls' dress, yet some friends of mine offered to finance my shopping at the doll convention, so I was glad enough ^___^

 

I get doll clothes all the time. :F I've gotten three dolls as gifts. I'm spoiled rotten! It doesn't make me feel guilty at all. The people who do give me doll clothes usually tend to know me very well, and it shows by the choices of gifts they give me.

 

I guess for me I would love it but I would rather pick them out, but at the same time I loved to be surprised. Wow I'm so full of contradictions hahahaha but Sometimes if someone knows you well enough or has seen them enough then they would know what to get your dolls

 

I think if someone gave me doll clothes they would only do so if they knew about my dolls and if they knew about them they would know what size to get and what kinds to get. I know I wouldn't just get doll clothes from someone I know because they heard "I collect dolls"...And of course if someone that actually knew dolls and of my dolls and they gave me dolls clothes...well I say...more power to 'em!!

 

The only person in the world who would buy me BJD clothes is my wife, and she knows exactly what I like. So the gift would be great!

On the other hand, I know exactly what those things cost, and I'd feel guilty if she spent a lot on me. =(

 

Well, if the clothes where a gift I would accept them graciously. Even if they where the wrong size, i'd simply explain that and see about exchanging for the right size just like for real people. Wrong style? Meh no big deal, its just like getting that ugly holiday sweater from your aunt. It was still thoughtful, put it on once, take a pic and pack it up. I'd just be grateful some one thinks/ thought enough about your hobby to buy you something for it. Speaking of which, I'm totally gunning for mint-on-card gift certs. for my B-day.

 

Happy!
Of course, I'd appreciate it if they'd asked for the right size!
I wouldnt know what to do with it if it couldnt fit.... X:

Style wise, even if it's not something I'd get, I'd still be grateful anyhow

 

I would be very very happy if someone bought me doll clothes as a gift!
Even if it turned out to be a style I wasn't into, clothes are clothes and you never know when 2 random peices from your collecton can go together to make a cute outfit. Im sure if someone was interested in your dolls enough to buy your doll clothes they would know what size to get.

And if not, I would be honest and say how cute the outfit is but it's the wrong size for my doll.
That stuff happens when buying clothes for people as gifts too. They would just return it and get me the right size. ~

 

If it was the first time they did it and it was a surprise I'd be happy regardless of the size or style. (I may sell them after if I had absolutely no dolls at all to fit them) but it would be enough knowing they'd accepted BJDs enough to buy them clothes.

If they were to repeat it then I'd prefer they ask the particulars like the size or if there are any I would like tochoose, but for the very first time I wouldn't mind it being random

 

It would be a pretty good surprise if someone bought me some clothes for my doll (man lives by hope ;D).Normally, when somebody gives you a gift he finds out before, so i don't think that someone can make a mistake on size or style. Moreover I don't think that a person who didn't even know my doll can buy something for her. And even if style (or size) does not fit, i shall keep the clothes and being thankful for the present (and maybe put the stuff aside for a next doll ^.^!).

 

How would you feel if your parents, or friends got you BJD clothes but they know nothing about BJDs. They could get you the wrong size, or the wrong style!
I would feel pretty happy that they're thinking about my doll and like her enough to buy her something.

Do you prefer for them to just let you pick out all the clothes?
yes, but after showing my mom a few outfit I want to get for Nadeko I think she would know what kind of clothes to pick out.

Would you return it? Regardless of how they'd feel about that?
if it was the wrong size (or made of animal material) , yes of course

Or would you just appreciate their thoughts (and acceptance of BJDs) and keep the clothes?
I would appreciate their thoughts but I wouldn't keep clothes that don't fit my girl (not like she can grow into it or lose weight to fit it)
if it was the wrong size I'd try to return it or swap it with someone here on DoA

I'd actually be really impressed if my parents or friends gave me doll clothes. My mother has actually made clothes some of my other non-BJD dolls before, and she also made a cardigan for my SD boy. it was a very girly cardigan and totally not Paul Sebastian's style, but he wore it anyway, because it was a gift from "granny" lol I personally think the thought that goes into a gift like that is worth far more than the gift itself.

Do you prefer for them to just let you pick out all the clothes?
I usually pick out all my own dolls' clothes anyway, but

Would you return it? Regardless of how they'd feel about that?
If the person had bought it and it didn't fit my doll, I might return it. I would definitely explain to the person why I was returning it, though. I wouldn't want them to spend their money on something I couldn't use, and perhaps it could be exchanged for something else that my dolls could use. If they made the clothing item, on the other hand, I would definitely keep it.

Or would you just appreciate their thoughts (and acceptance of BJDs) and keep the clothes?
I would appreciate the gift and the acceptance of my dolls, even if the clothing didn't fit. See above for what I'd do with the clothes themselves.

 

I would be tickled pink if someone I knew did that! I've been debating whether to put doll clothes on my Christmas wishlist, but most of my family think bjds are a childish hobby so I don't think it'd go over well... I might mention to my sister that some dolly clothes would be nice though n_n;

 

Only one other person cares/knows about my BJD hobby and he's not stupid enough to think that ALL the dolls are the same size. If he got me doll clothes as a gift, I'd be very happy but I know he won't because he says for some reason it feels like he is getting a gift for them and not me. xD

 

I would be happy my family thought to buy something for my doll. I would try it on the doll in front of them to see if it fit, and if it didn't, we might exchange it together. Considering most families aren't entirely supportive of the hobby or at least the spending, I would be touched.

 

I think it'd be very sweet. you could always just hint around to things or even leave website open and things written down and just have you're mom "accident" see it. I've done that already with things. Beside you could always work with unfitted clothing by tweaking them or like you said just sell them.

 

I try to accept any gifts I receive graciously. If someone gives me a gift they didn't have to buy it for me, so if I revived clothes and they weren't what I would have bought I would still be thankful for the thought. You can alter clothes or they might fit a doll in the future, the real gift would be having someone who supports you enough to give you something for your hobby.

 

honestly, I would appreciate the thought, because the fact that someone thought my hobby was important enough to order something for me, means they care. no matter what it was I'd find something it would work for and everytime I looked at it, I would "know" that person got it.
