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

Well uh, my girlfriend is very rational and down-to-earth and I don't think she'd ever buy me something that expensive. We've only been together for two months now, but even later in our relationship I just don't see it happening. And she doesn't earn much money anyway so I wouldn't even let her buy me a doll.

But I myself like to give my friends and loved ones presents and never care about the price (even though I should, as a McSlave I don't make much myself) so if my girlfriend ever got interested in BJD's I might consider buying her a doll, or at least chipping in to help her pay for it.

...She'd protest, of course. But still.

 

My boyfriend bought one of my current dolls for me as a Valentine's Day gift, which was really great. I was going to buy one for Christmas, but they ended up being sold out and I was disappointed, since it was a doll I could actually afford to make a spontaneous purchase on. But I guess he'd been casually keeping an eye out on pre-orders/restocks for her and messaged me on evening to double check that it was the correct doll that I'd been wanting. I was super excited, even with the surprise being 'spoiled' and spent the next week eagerly anticipating her arrival!

 

If your boyfriend/girlfriend wanted to buy you a doll what would you do?
My husband let me know that he wanted to, and he asked for me to pick out three or four different ones in different price ranges and put them on a wish list. I was quite specific, and he appreciated that. It was still a surprise which one he picked, and he grabbed some outfits and wigs at random.

Would you say no?
Never!

What if they got you a doll you didn't like? Would you sell it?
I've never sold a doll once I bought it, so I doubt it. I would probably mod it instead.

 

If your boyfriend/girlfriend wanted to buy you a doll what would you do?
I would laugh, be super excited, and then say okay why don't you just help me get the one I want. So unless I find someone that's loaded, I'm sure they'd be happier to give me money toward a doll vs. buying one outright.

Would you say no?
Nope.

What if they got you a doll you didn't like? Would you sell it?
If it turned out that they just bought a doll without asking, I still wouldn't sell it. It would just join my gang and I'd do my best to make it fit in.

 

If your boyfriend/girlfriend wanted to buy you a doll what would you do?
I would be hesitant to accept unless we were in a very committed relationship. Dolls are quite expensive and if the relationship went sour.....I don't know. I can just see a lot of bad things happening. Maybe I've watched too many episodes of Judge Judy of late but a doll seems like it can easily be turned around as 'I loaned them the money and now I want it back'. There's also the thing of, if the relationship ended I might not be able to look at that doll again depending on how pleasant or unpleasant the breakup was.

Would you say no?
Probably. Extenuating circumstances might change my mind however.

What if they got you a doll you didn't like? Would you sell it?
I don't think I'd let it get that far. If they wanted to buy me a doll I'd be involved every step of the way to prevent that exact thing from happening. I'd feel TERRIBLE if they spent all that money (that they didn't have to) on me and I didn't like it.

 

I've had a guy I dated give me a doll of the type that I like. He handed it to me once on a date like it was a dozen roses in a white box, red ribbon and all. Opened it up expecting flowers and there was a doll. It wasn't expensive, probably cost less than a dozen roses would have, but I was thrilled. Thought it was way cool of him to actually pay attention to what I liked and to give me something I would have forever instead of something that would just fade away.

 

Buying presents for your loved ones is actually considered as one of the five love languages, I think it really depends on each of our backgrounds of growing up to whether think if it is good or appropriate to buy something expensive for someone else (And maybe they spend even more on their own hobbies u knowXD) Cause I think for some it is the way they know and so they would use it as a way to show their love to their loved ones. And both of my parents like to buy me things that I like and enjoy which is bjds:P

I would not say it is good or not that a boyfriend or a girlfriend getting a gift for u is a bad thing, but of course they need to do their research and make sure that I do want that doll if it is a surprise!! I think it is reli the way someone want to please their loved ones, and maybe someone don't reli mind much about money? Cuz say for instance a decent DSLR camera and lenses costs even much more than a single bjd. I mean some may even request other gifts if not a bjd anyway. I would say he or she really wants u make you happi, sometimes it is just as simple as that. They may not have thought about that much on how long u hv been together etc. Cuz reli time is not the only determination, some people's love for someone can lost overtime while for others that love is growing even stronger. The most important thing is that is he or she the one?

 

I wouldn't say no, but I'd warn them not to try to surprise me. I'm super fussy about my dolls, and I'd much rather they buy me doll accessories or non-hobby stuff if they want to surprise me

 

I live with my fiance, and I was looking at a certain sculpt with some frequency. He offered to buy it for me and I said no, but after a few more days of lamenting the cost and it being limited, and a few more offers, I agreed. Maybe it's because I gave him the event doll from my last order lol. But this will also be my 3rd and last doll, so it was his last chance to do so.

 

If my boyfriend wanted to gift me a doll I would say "YES PLEASE!" I wouldn't sell it unless we were not together anymore :P *knocks on wood*

 

My partner bought me an impldoll colin. I did kind of feel guilty. But I also bought her two dolls as well. Small ones, though. I'm not sure if I enjoy the idea of her and I buying each other any larger dolls though ^^;

 

Out of curiosity I asked my fiance what he would do if he wanted to buy me a doll, he said if he was going to drop £500 on a doll he'd ask what I wanted first. It makes sense, I don't care for surprises and something so expensive needs planning and my input because there are dolls I think are hideous (not going to say which ones because personal opinion aside I don't want to offend someone who thinks they are great) and he wouldn't want to buy me a doll I wouldn't love.

EDIT: I'm forgetting the fact my fiance lent me £140 so I could buy my first doll, I have since repaid him but I like to think that Clara is partly his because he was so sweet to help me buy her. He's not into dolls but he's super gentle with her and is really interested in watching me sew for her so in my head he's her sugar daddy

 

I would choose the doll I like and thank him for the gift.

 

My BF buying a doll? That would be great! Though it won't ever happen ^^;;

 

Technically speaking my husband paid for all my dolls since I'm a housewife. Some of them were picked out by me and counted as birthday or Christmas presents. But I dont think he would ever buy me a doll entirely without my knowledge. I'm not at all sure he'd even know how to buy me a doll off my wishlist.

 

that would be a surprise if my girlfriend want buy a doll for me! if she buy the doll without telling me, i would like anyone she bought for me. and if it happens to be the one im quite not into, i will not sell or gift it to other people. cuz its my love send me, im gonna keep it as long as possible.
and if she buy the doll after asking me which doll i like, that would be perfect. we can wait for our doll together and enjoy the pleasure of box opening, playing with the doll. thats really perfect!

 

I would love to get a doll without personally having to spend obscene amounts of money myself, but it seems like that would be a horrible thing to let someone else do for me. If I was married or whatever and it was a gift, or if I got a doll for a big event like my birthday/Christmas/anniversary/etc., then I could see it as a possibility. But having a significant other just buy me a doll on a random occasion would seem like too much to me.

 

I'm not dating right now, but... yeah! I think that'd be really sweet. Gifts like that where they're something someone is really interested in is really sweet to me. Of course, if you break up, that would be a little awkward though.

 

I might tell him I like this doll to give him a hint =)

 

We're married now, but I think I would have totally loved it if my hubs had bought me a doll while we were dating. I might have protested a little bit, but ultimately I would have been super excited. He did give me money to help me buy my incoming Shushu, but I feel like that is different because we're married. I don't really know why...
