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

Well my boyfriend has mentioned buying me a doll for like Christmas. If that happened I would give him a list of some with websites. I dont see him as the type to search them out well. He definitely knows my tastes but at the moment hes not fond of the idea of dolls. But I buy him equally expensive gifts and he just got his first job since our relationship (were still 21 so college first) so anything could happen. We go through a lot tho so idk if he bought me a doll I'd love it no matter what happened to us because he truly means the most to me in the world. But weve been going together for 2 years in a long distance relationship so anything that connects me to him I adore.
Thats the thing relationships are so very specialized. Every single one is unique and has different facets. If I had dated a guy for a week or a month or even the first yea I would possibly be uncomfortable with it. But then it depends on the guy and how the relationship is going. If your married then its a more open thing unless you take care of fiances and your husband doesn't have a personal stash of cash (like my father) then you dont really get surprises. So idk every couple is very different which makes this very individual based.

 

My SO and I have been dating since we were 14. We're 23 now. He's bought me a doll pretty much every Christmas and birthday combined (my birthday is close to Christmas, so the doll is my present for both) ever since I was... Nineteen, I think.

At the time, he was spending his own money. For the last year, money has all been "our money" since we've been living together since we graduated, engaged for all intents and purposes.

I've sold most of the dolls he's gotten me and gotten other ones XD He doesn't care as long as the new one counts as being from him. I've never worried about it or felt guilty about it, because I get him something just as nice in return. Tit for tat, you know.

It's a high priority for me not to ask someone for something without giving an equivalent in return as soon as possible. I'm not sure if I was raised that way or if I was born like that, but I've never been the girl who asks her bf to buy her things at any moment, just because he's dating me. Haha, I remember at an anime con once, this girl dating my bf's friend was carefully explaining and showing all the stuff her bf had just bought her (he dropped between $300-$400 on her in the space of a few hours, by the look of it). When she was done, I just smiled and said, "That's all really nice. This is whatI bought myself." It was a dagger with a dragon carved on the handle.

But I digress.

 

I was just surprised all over again! As I said before, he's bought me two dolls randomly that I just love. Then a few nights ago, he just flat out asked "If you were to buy a new doll right now, paid in full, what would get?" and without even thinking, I replied "Obitsu body for Finn!!" Junkyspot doesn't do layaway and I have a REALLY hard time saving up nearly $300....and he said "Can you wait il Thursday?" Which confused me.....and then he told me that since he's been doing so much overtime and we didn't get to take our usual fall vacation because of it, he wanted to buy me a doll to "make up for it"!! I was floored! SO sweet!

So Finn will be getting his body in another week.

 

I have the doll home now that my boyfriend bought me. And I love her so much, never ever would I sell this girl, even if we broke up. He always tells me he wants to buy me more dolls but I won't let him. My LTF Bisou is very special to me because he bought her but if like the half of my collection was bought with his money that would feel wrong. But knowing he is interested in my hobby, talks to my dolls(^^) and helps deciding on new ones feels even better

 

I'm in the combined-finances situation, but it's about consideration as much as money. My partner and our roommate arranged the bills and such secretly last year so they could order the Soom Clozel I wanted so badly. When they slipped me a note (saying 'stop struggling to buy her, she's already bought!') it made me cry.

Even if it had been a mold I didn't like, I would still cherish a doll given as a gift. A new faceup, sanded cheeks, or modded eyes can do WONDERS for any doll.

 

Oh wow I'd be completely over the moon if my boyfriend wanted to buy me a doll....I mean we don't gift each other stuff normally apart from Christmas or birthdays.

I know that if he bought me the doll, it would be a: because he wanted to
and b: he would have the money. He's not the type of person to put himself in debt to buy something. So I wouldn't feel bad that he spent the money.

 

yeah, the problem I see with that, is you can´t avoid linking your B/G friend to the doll. Sure it is a nice gesture but that is the risk.

I'd be very happy and I'd say np because it's expensive. But if I were to get surprised by furutre partner, I'd certainly keep. If I didn't like the doll, one can try to mod it a little to your likings or try new face ups

 

If a serious boyfriend/husband wanted to buy me a doll, and he had enough money to do it, I'd let him. I'd also let him know that he absolutely shouldn't feel the need to do so (in trying to buy love or perhaps feeling that if he didn't buy me one I'd think he didn't care), but if he truly wanted to . . . well, buying something that makes a loved one happy is a great feeling. You know, the whole "it's better to give than to receive" thing. I always really want to give to people I love, and sometimes it makes me feel a little bad if they tell me not to, even if it's out of consideration for me.

I actually would have loved it if my ex had bought me a bjd, but he was kind of a quantity over quality type of person. He'd spend all kinds of money just so I'd have piles of gifts (mostly cheaper dolls) on birthdays and Christmas, but he wouldn't spend it all on one amazing bjd (not that I didn't like the dolls he gave me). Plus, he thought bjds were ugly and said he didn't want to buy me something that was ugly. :/ Sigh. I feel kind of bad now, but I'm selling a lot of the dolls he bought me so I can buy my Lati White Belle at last.

 

I'm not sure if my husband will ever buy any dolls for me. I have been away from the hobby for so long, he's never really had to "deal" with it yet. The first few dozen times I tried to get him into it he just said they were "creepy" and that's as far into it as he wanted to get. Then he had a change of heart once he realized how much he spent on his own hobbies. He still thinks they're creepy, but if it's what would make me happy, he's okay with it.

I would be more likely to buy one for him. He has been into painting models before, I'm hoping someday I can make him like BJDs so we can share the hobby.

 

Although I'd never ask, or expect my boyfriend to buy me a doll or things for them, I confess I'd be very happy if he did, whatever it was!

They're not really something he understands the fascination of, but something like that can show a lot of love and support, I think.
If that makes sense...

 

My husband used a bit of his inheritance to buy me a doll for my birthday last year. Since I'm a complete control freak, I picked him out myself. My hubby knows me better than to try and surprise me, because he knows that with me, it is very easy to get it wrong. Especially were dolls are concerned, it needs to be exactly right or I will never bond with them. So we made sure that I picked him out myself and I had the company do a custom face-up and everything. Boy, did I feel bad when it turned out I didn't like him in reality! I'm quite sentimental and had sworn to myself I would never sell such an amazing gift, but try as I might, this guy was just not right for me. I fretted about it for two whole months before I plucked up the courage to tell my hubby. Turns out, he didn't like him either! I was so releaved! So I traded him for a Pukifee Pong, which still isn't right. She's going up for sale soon and the money goes towards another doll, which still counts as coming from him, he says Third time's the charm, I hope. Still, if he had the money, he would gift me a doll again this year (which he doesn't). He says it's not my fault that you sometimes get it wrong in a hobby where most stuff comes from the internet. He's sweet that way.

 

I guess my level of comfort would be gauged by who bought it for me, and what their financial state was. If it was my fiance or my best friend, I think I'd be okay with it. Anyone else? Probably not so much. My fiance has already promised to buy me a Raspberry by Asella, if we're unable to make the next preorder.

 

I would say YES~ but hopefully he gets me the doll that I want or he wants. It would be great to have him enjoy the hobby with me. I enjoy playing house~ It would be nice to get it as a surprise too.

If he ended up getting a doll that I didn't like, I will probably deal with it respectfully. I'll try bonding with it. If it doesn't work, I would ask his permission to put the doll up for adoption. Even though it's just a thing, he might put a deeper meaning on it pertaining to our relationship.

Of course, we would consider our finances before letting him buy the doll.

 

I would love it if a significant other bought me a doll. To me, this represents several things in our relationship: 1) he/she's willing to spend a large sum of money on me, on an object that some would deem 'a waste of money' compared to a vehicle or a piece of jewelry. 2) Not only has he/she accepted this hobby I have, but he/she supports it and 3) wants to be part of it.

It wouldn't matter what doll it was, to be honest. I would accept that gift, and love it. If it was for a character of mine, awesome -- but even if it was just bought because he/she thinks it is aesthetically pleasing and would fit in with my collection, that'd be fine, too. I'd just create a whole new character for it!

Alas, I am not dating. So the only one to buy dolls for me is... me! Hahahaha.

 

^_^U I've been the one to buy ALL of my wife's dolls so far. I think the only one she bought with her own money was one she sold coz she wanted a new camera. :3

I love buying my baby gifts! She loves dolls, and she loves taking photos with me all the time. We've gotten super close because of the hobby, actually! ^_^ And now, she asks me to do her dolls' body blushing & re-stringing. I'm honored.

I don't really pay any attention to a price-tag when it comes to my wife. If it's VERY expensive, I do Layaway. I love it when I get to see my wife's face when she opens up her box of goodies. I never tell her I got her a doll, I just give her "doll shaped boxes" every now and then

 

My partner and I share our finances, so technically it would be like I buy presents with my own money. It's not that I dislike the situation but I think it's strange to receive a surprise present bought with my own money.
However, before we had shared finances my partner bought my dream doll, Angell-Studio Snow, for Christmas. Well, she arrived about two months after Christmas and the surprise was unwillingly spoiled by another person but I was very happy.
I wouldn't refuse a doll as a gift and I would be really happy as long as it's a doll I want and not some random stuff I've never seen before. But I don't think my partner or family/friends would randomly type "BJD" on Google and buy the first doll they see.
My partner admitted thinking about gifting me dolls but the problem is that nearly all of the dolls I like are somewhat limited, and either I snatch them up the MP or buy them directly from the company before pre-order ends. So it's hard for him to buy them because I always buy them myself.
But there's a tiny somewhat cheap non-limited doll I talk about from time to time and Christmas is coming...it would be my own money in the end, but I would sure like the surprise.

 

My hubby has a very hard time choosing things that I really like (although, things do tend to grow on me just because it came from him) so I would never want him to buy me a doll. And lucky for me, I really don't think he'd want to. He just smiles at me whenever I start talking about my hobbies. He's never really interested in them. XD

 

I think its a sweet thought ^.^
it all depends on what doll it is Though
i wouldn't want my fiance spending To much money on a doll
but knowing him he would do it and when i ask how he paid he'll just say "I don't know babe it was magic" XD

 

I wan't to buy my own dolls myself. Just to be sure what I get. But if my partner wants to give me some generous donations... why not. BD

If she'd actually got me a doll, I'd be really surprised. O_o Because... She really cannot order from abroad (bad engrish, lack of courage). If I'd get a doll I've wanted then, yay! But if it'd be just some random doll I don't know what I'd do xD It would be rude to sell it.

Then again, who'd buy expensive stuff like this without knowing what the other wants? ...Oh well, maybe someone would thought these dolls are like jewelry or something. :/
