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

If someone has your best interest in mind and they want to buy you the doll you really want, why not. A word of caution though, a past boyfriend of mine wanted way too much control over my hobby. In that case I would tell him "get your own doll".

 

I don't think I could ever accept such an expensive gift from someone unless I was in more of an intimate relationship than just dating. Because dolls are so expensive and also there's no saying the relationship will last or not and then you associate the doll with that person and I'd assume it's tough to keep said doll around after that sort of thing.

 

I kind of encountered this the other day, my best friend offered to buy the the doll I was checking out, as a gift just for being a good friend I guess. (He has a very well paid job so doll money is peanuts to him, I currently work part time.)
I was like "No way!" he then offered to buy the doll out right and I could pay him back in instalments rather than have the doll on layaway and have to wait longer. It was a very sweet offer but these dolls are expensive, I couldn't expect someone to pay for my hobby for me. I was very touched by his offer though.
We settled on that he could buy me an outfit of the doll, but I put the order in without him knowing and didn't order the clothes, the doll is now on layaway. BUT I did say he can take me to the post office to pick up the doll when they hold him at the post office. We're both happy with that.

 

My boyfriend wants to buy me my grail doll for Christmas. At first, I felt really bad and said no because he is about £400, but he really wanted to get him, so I agreed. I don't think a partner would ever buy a doll without asking which you liked first, so I think this is a good idea.
I think it will also help you bond with the doll and your partner. Seen as they are taking an interest in your hobbie.

 

Hell yes! I'd be thrilled if my SO wanted to get a doll for me because he'd let me pick the one I wanted out (while bellyaching about my taste in dolls, but too bad for him). Actually, I sort of coerced him into getting me a DHS fairy recently because I'm helping him out with his other projects on my own time. xD I really have no qualms about this sort of thing because the alternative is him buying me something hilariously goofy like a cordless phone or knife sharpener (TRUE STORIES during our first couple of years dating) or whatever else he thinks is a "practical" gift. Thank goodness he's learned better seven years later.

 

I don't know that I would want my boyfriend to flat out pay for a doll for me, but I would gladly except it if he offered to pay half the price of one I really wanted. If it were for a really big event (ie graduation from college, wedding present, ect.) it would be a completely different story XD I would be all over that like stink on a skunk!

 

A guy I was seeing bought me something that is about the same price as a doll. It was something I collect and that he knew I really wanted/liked, but I was not expecting such an expensive gift (it was a total surprise to me).
If a boyfriend asked to buy me a doll I'd probably say no because I'd feel like it was too expensive, I don't want them to spend that much on me. I seriously doubt that it would ever happen though since I don't talk about dolls much unless it's with someone I already know likes them.

 

If my boyfriend bought me a doll I would be very grateful. I would shower him in hugs and kisses and tons of anime nights with popcorn, sweets, and blankets. We would watch anime in a blanket fort on the laptop then fall asleep in the fort cuddling. I don't know what I would say, but I would be over the moon! I doubt I wouldn't like the doll because he knows my taste and he is always around when I look at dolls and I always show him the ones I fancy the most. If he got me something I wasn't so keen on, I would know that he pretends to pay attention to me while actually not, which would make me a tiny bit sad, but I would just do my best to make it into something I like. If I didn't think that was possible, he knows my honesty, and besides, I'm not very good at keeping my thoughts a secret; my expressions give me away. But like I said, I doubt that would be an issue.

 

I wish my boyfriend would buy me a doll, but we are both students and neither of us have very much money. Plus he really needs to be saving for college so I would never ask that of him.

 

Oops! No, no way. These are my babies, my kids, my support when things aren't going that fine. Each of them represent one or more achievements and each one is bought my ME, MYSELF, NOBODY ELSE! I'd rather been offered something which helps me with my 'everyday' life. Something I wouldn't dream buying because it isn't exactly answering an absolute need and can be bypassed. This, yes, I would accept, unless it is above the price range this person can afford.

 

I'd love if my bf got me a doll lol. That was the original plan for my first, but after I moved cross-country to be with him, our finances have been a bit tight..... Plus I'm waiting for a much smaller, more sparkley, wearable gift.... >.>

Though if he did get me a doll, I would hope he would ask which ones instead of going off on his own :/

 

I don't and have never had a boyfriend/girlfriend so I'm going to answer this as if it was a close friend in place of the boyfriend/girlfriend.

I wouldn't let them do it.
I just don't want people (friends, family or otherwise) to be buying me super expensive things, it makes me feel weird.
And if they surprised me with it, I doubt that I could bring myself to accept it as a gift.

 

I personally wouldn't have a problem with it, and would even be happy about it.
Now, this is of course only if the person buying was sincere, no matter if it's family, a friend or a partner of any kind.

 

My significant other would probably never buy me a doll - he thinks they're too expensive. If the occasion was a really, really special one he might, but not on impulse. He'd either have to be very sure (because of repeatedly catching me drooling over one ) or let me choose

 

Not gonna lie, I would feel incredibly guilty - I'd want to repay that favor! (Or getting suspicious, like, 'what do they want to buy from me with this')
On the other hand, if someone were really that attentive and go through the process of getting a doll, then of course I'd be happy.
After all, it's not like you can just shop at the supermarket for BJDs, so they must have gone through a whole lot of things just to aquire one for me.

 

It would entirely depend on the amount of time we have been together for. If it was a couple months I would say no way to a full doll. For a wig or clothes as like a birthday gift that would be fine. If we'd been together for a couple years and in good financial status I would probably be okay with it as long as I could give him something of equal in return.

 

I would be amazingly grateful to my girlfriend if she ever bought me a doll or anything like that. She did buy a nice set of eyes and a wig for my girl though, she's such a sweetie I wouldn't expect her to do much more considering her financial situation.
That said, she doesn't really do surprises for me, as my worst character flaw is probably the fact that I'm horribly finicky about what I like She, however, loves surprises! I'm probably going to shower her with wigs/eyes/accessories for the doll I got for her once it arrives.

 

If my husband wanted to buy me a doll, I would have him checked out. Perhaps he had a small stroke and needs medical attention.

 

Last Christmas my gift to my boyfriend was a Honey Delf he really wanted. He did not end up bonding with her but we are working on it. If he wanted to return the favor my answer would probably be a heck yeah. He knows which dolls I like. However, if I had an order down that I wasn't able to pay for I would not let him pay it, I would be too embarrassed.

 

I feel like if someone was going to spend that kind of money, they would ensure that it's a sculpt you actually want... or at least the sensible thing to do instead of going out & blindly buying something.

My husband has never outright purchased a doll for me, per se, but he does help me cover certain financial things so that I have more of my own money to freely spend as I see fit.
