Say your Boyfriend/Girlfriend Wanted To Buy You A Doll,

My son just brought me one for christmas as a surprise he brought me a Iplehouse Jessica EID ! He knew she was my grail doll as I had bored the whole family with" look at how beautiful she is ". He just asked one day if I had won the lottery what would I buy ? straight away I said Jessica,so he brought her,without me knowing,I was so shocked took days to for it to sink in,he ordered her in November and she came last Friday .I will keep her forever and treasure her always because of his thoughtfulness

 

The thought is sweet, but I agree, one tends to associate the doll with whomever gifted it to you which can be good or bad if the relationship lasts. I have not been in that predicament yet, but recently my friend gifted me a Infinite Love kimono set for my doll and I know the thing cost over $100 >.< I really feel bad she spent so much on me, but twas her way of saying thank you for being there for her through some hard times. I would've rathered she spend such money on herself, but in the end it is the giftee's decision I guess. I really really love the outfit though, but as many have said, I do associate the item with her and would do much of the same with a doll. I don't think I would mind as much if it was something smaller and didn't cost over 50 ... but yeahhhhhhhh.

 

My fiance has never bought me a BJD and I don't know that he ever would, at least not right now. He's trying to encourage me to enjoy who I have here, not hoard more resin. That's actually my goal, too, as we don't have much space for all of my hobbies.

 

Personally, I don't like receiving suprise gifts. If my significant other were to buy me a doll as a gift, I would want them to let me choose, and they simply pay for it. Otherwise, what would probably happen is they would get me a doll that I don't particularly like, and then I would be stuck with it forever, or until we split up.
I don't have a grail doll or anything like that, except maybe a cocoa Unoa Lilin, but I'm pretty sure no one would ever spend that much money on me, to get one of these so-rare-they-might-as-well-not-exist dolls.

 

Well my girlfriend is into dolls as well, and she probably would not get me something unless she knew I would like it. Although I would scold her for trying to spend so much money. If she did buy me a doll as a surprise and it wasn't something on my wish list, I would love them and fit them into my dolly-group!

 

i dont think this will happen to me coz my bf is kinda tight on his money lol XD he'll buy me stuff but i dont think he will spend that much for me.

but if this do happened, then i will be thrilled! haha

 

If my bf really wanted to buy me one, I guess I'd let him do it. If it's a doll that wasn't in my wishlist then I would make love it cause he got it for me. (its the least I can do.) I wouldn't sell it.
Since it's my birthday this month and also valentines my bf said he would get me a Dolly as a present. I'm so happy. ^_^

 

I personally would find it really cute if I had a boyfriend that wanted to buy me a doll. Although if he offered, I might have to turn him down. But if it was a surprise, and if it was a doll I wanted, I would be really shocked and happy he noted the kind of doll I wanted and everything! Even if he didn't buy me a doll I liked, he must have thought I would like it, or he had his own reason to buy it for me, and I would try to love it (I'd probably end up loving it a lot) unless it creeped me out entirely. Then I would sell it.

 

I'd tell him it's a very sweet thought, but that he should save his money for essentials since he doesn't really have the $$$ lying around either.

A friend once bought me a doll (non-BJD, but still pricey) for my birthday... I kept it long after I tired of it because I felt bad selling something she'd given me. Didn't really know how I'd explain if she came over and asked where it was when she didn't see it on the shelf with the others. But then we had a falling out and weren't really speaking anymore, so I sold it.

 

My Boyfriend was the one who actually ordered my Soul Doll lot for me. We've been dating for a year now and the doll was his present to me, and while I want to finish up with my school we plan to get married and have a family some time in the future. In all honesty thought if he wasn't native and getting money from the government I'd be very upset at him for spending that much money, or if we were in a rocky kind of relationship, it just wouldn't feel right.

If he surprised me with a doll that's on my wishlist (I have it written down in a book) I would probably squeal, or any doll for that matter. I'd still feel a little bad because they are a lot of money but it's just such a wonderful gesture and shows that he loves me as much as I love him. At the current moment I'm actually saving up to buy him a new bed haha, his dog likes to dig.

If I ever received a doll I didn't like from him? I'd ask him if he was okay with me selling it, and if not then I'd do my best to make that doll into something I'd love, even if the first attempt failed.

 

I'd love that. *-* Even if we did end up breaking up, I think if I just change the doll around a bit it would almost be like new.

 

I'm actually buying my girlfriend a doll before I get one. It's for our 4th anniversary and she has explain it to me to the last detail. If she doesn't like it < . < then I can have it~ That's the upside of having her in the hobby with me.

 

I think I would drop dead from shock and heart attack.. either that or be certain he was taking the mick out of me.

 

If I had the money, I would buy her her grail doll in a heartbeat. And lots of pretty things for her existing dolls. Unfortunately, I don't. :T
I think she'd do the same for me, so we're equal.

 

If my boyfriend wanted to buy me a doll (which he probably won't for many years, due to money) he'd tell me and have me help him. Most of the time when he buys me something he has to know exactly what it is I want. He's very indecisive and usually can't decide on anything unless I straight-up tell him or show him what it is I'd like. xD So I don't really think we'd have a point where he'd get me something I don't like.

When it comes to getting stuff for my dolls, though, he pretty much knows what to get me. He is actually interested in my dolls so he knows what each of them would wear, what they like, etc. And I love him sooooo much for that!

 

Unfortunately I don't have a significant other, but if I did, I wouldn't let them, dropping that much money on a relationship that might not last would probably rack me nervous, and I probably wouldn't want to keep the doll if the relationship failed, now if they surprise gifted me, I'd probably be really happy on the inside, but gruffly calling them a idiot on the outside, I guess I'm just that type of person?

 

Absolutely not. Just no. NO. I buy my own dolls- for good reason. That way, I'm the only one wasting money, and I don't have to worry about unpleasant memories of someone else being attached to it. I'd be completely freaked out if he even so much as suggested it. Literally, just don't even want to think about that. How would I ever give him anything of even close to equal value? And what would happen if we had an argument- would it be one of those "Well I bloody well spent £500 on you so the least you could do is..." kind of things? I'd feel as though I'd taken out a loan and the pressure of it would probably make me resent him a bit. A lot.

Logically speaking, I don't really get why it would be okay for anyone other than a committed spouse with a shared bank account to spend that kind of money on me... it's not a parent (and I'd absolutely never ask my parents anyway) it's not a necessity, and if we're just boyfriend and girlfriend what the heck happens when we split up? Ughhhh this is giving me anxiety just thinking about it.

 

My boyfriend makes a lot of money at his job, so he would have the funds + extra to buy me a doll, however,I would discourage him from the idea, because I don't want anyone spending that kind of money on me! If he surprised me with one, I'd love it, even if it was a sculpt I disliked-- I'd customize it to look the way I would want it to.

 

If my significant other bought me a doll I hated, it would still be a VERY nice gesture from them, so I would keep it though I may change a few things to try and make it more to my taste. If I were to break up with said SO and still didn't love the doll, that would be a perfect time to sell it and use the money for something I actually want.

 

I think that if my boyfriend bought me a doll I would cherish it, even if the sculpt wasn't on my wishlist. For someone else to put so much time, money and effort into something that they knew would interest me is quite amazing
