1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order.

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

Jul 30, 2012

    1. I would be SUPER surprised if my fiance bought my doll for me lol he doesn't mind me getting them, but he wouldn't buy one himself because he wouldn't know exactly which one to buy or what to get with it or if to get anything with it. He wouldn't take a chance of buying me the wrong thing. If he actually did take note of everything though and bought my doll I would be SOOOOO happy. I do show him all the dolls I like and which ones I love and plan on getting, so it's not like he can't find out, he just doesn't listen too well to most things lol
       
    2. So my boyfriend bought me my doll, she's the best thing he could ever have gotten me. Lol he logged onto my ebay after I went to sleep and bought her with his bank card.
       
    3. My husband has bought me a doll for a holiday present. (It's not here and he won't tell me what sculpt, though he did let slip it's from Soom.) Before he did that, I'd have said I wouldn't want him too, but I'm so excited by the idea of this mystery doll, and I trust his judgment well enough, that I think my mind has been changed.

      If he does get me a doll I dislike, I think I'd still keep it. A new face up, a certain style outfit or a minor mod can make a doll completely different. I could probably manage to get something I liked from any sculpt, even if it's one I wouldn't have chosen. Besides, it would make me think of how sweet my husband was all the time. :aheartbea
       
    4. I'm getting two dolls from boyfriend for Christmas. Granted one is practically free because of the company Christmas event. I was going to order the one doll and boyfriend said he would get it for me..but then we realized that we got a free head and he said add a body! So yay! two dolls. I'm so excited. My boyfriend knows what kind of dolls I like and is very familiar with the different doll companies and could buy me a doll as a surprise gift. He has even talked about getting a doll or two of his own. Maybe one day I'll surprise him.
       
    5. I would say that my husband only half-way pays attention to my doll hobby, mostly because he is a little doll-sensitive. I can see him saying he would pay for a doll I said I wanted, or saying "go ahead and buy it," but never pick one out himself. I don't think he would even know where to start looking :sweat
       
    6. I would sort of laugh and wave my hand.
       
    7. I would be surprised at first, but I would get his opinion on the doll and go half and half. To me, when a significant other wants to make you happy by supporting your hobby because you support theirs, that's a sign of love.
       
    8. If my girlfriend ever got me a doll I'd be truly flattered but right now (since we're both highschoolers >.>) I could never let her do that. I've saved a very long time to get my first BJD and I could never let her spend that much on a present. I'd feel in debt and I know there's no way I could just splurge on a present like that for her.
       
    9. Ah, I wish my boyfriend would buy me a cheaper doll, or even just a doll head for me to customize. Anything too expensive though and I'd feel like needing to shower him in gifts to make up for it, haha. (though I might do that anyway) I'm not sure if he knows my taste in dolls too well though, so I doubt it'll happen.
       
    10. My fiance got me a doll for my birthday :). It was very sweet of him because he's not really into bjds but he does make the effort to talk about them with me because he knows it's something I am interested in. I gave him a few sculpts and he chose one out of those because he wouldn't want to spend so much on something and get it wrong, what surprised me the most was that he bought me my very fist male doll as he has always been a bit creeped out by the idea of having male dolls lol.
       
    11. YES! Sure, why not. If they are offering and can afford it, and they especially want to, awesome! Of course I'd hope they'd ask me exactly which one I wanted or at least narrow it down because they are expensive and I wouldn't want them to waste their time and money ordering me one I didn't want.
       
    12. My BF bought me a LE bjd as a christmas present. > < I was conflicted because I really wanted it, but at the same time, he doesn't have his own income so technically it's not his money to spend on me (granted, it's allowance from parents so technically he can use it however, but still). We've been together for almost a year, but we've been through a lot and there's little chance of us breaking up anytime soon, though we're still in college. If I wasn't confident in our relationship, I would't have let him buy me it at all, much less spend anything over $50. We do split finances for everything and were thinking of getting a joint account once he found a job/source of income. We take takes buying eachother food, he buys my feminine care products and actually practical important stuff I'm too stingy to spend on (to save up for dolls lol) and I get him bus tickets to places, etc. Presents generally aren't a surprise-- we just throw our bank cards at eachother whenever the other wants. On the flip side, I buy him video games/PC games and those can get pretty pricey, especially because there's so many of them, gamers need instant gratification, and the mid-level prices don't seem that much at first (but they do build up in just a few games!). In the end I got cold feet and forced half of the price back into his back account cause a doll just seemed too pricey, and his parents read his bank statements. xD
       
    13. IF their finances at the time allowed them such an expensive purchase, I'd be really happy. I'd feel really bad if my boyfriend spent all of his extra money on me though. He keeps telling me it brings him joy to spend money on me and his friends because it otherwise accumulates in his account (he doesn't shop much), but it just seems... strange. How could you not want to pamper yourself sometimes? :lol: I'm just worried he'd be denying himself something he wants to get me what I want, and I would feel really guilty about that.

      But, if he can afford it, then hell yeah! Free doll gift! Of course, wI would like him to ask me about what dolls I want, or at least know where to find my wish list because I'm REALLY picky about the dolls I like. There are thousands of dolls by probably like, a hundred different companies, and I only want a handful... Also, I just really prefer it when people ASK me what I want.

      My boyfriend hasn't gotten me a doll yet, but he has purchased the pricier doll things, like wigs, face-ups and eyes as presents for Christmas/Birthday. I really appreciate those kinds of gestures because it makes the doll extra-special - like, it's got a little bit of someone else that I really love in it now. :3
       
    14. Eh, considering we share bank accounts, I don't think it'd happen. He'd just have me get it.
       
    15. Expensive or not, if it's a gift I usually ask for specifics unless I know exactly what the person I am shopping for wants.

      My boyfriend knows he doesn't know enough to go out on his own lol If he were to want to buy a doll for me, I am sure he would ask which company and doll I wanted. Right now, he usually sticks to my less expensive hobby... collecting baby/newborn vintage My Little Pony <3

      I have a few less expensive dolls on my want list right now as well as some that are over $500 price range. I'd feel appreciative for whatever doll on my want list that the boyfriend ended up getting :3 I don't expect to get a doll from him, as he knows more about other things that I like which would be easier on him to do instead.
       
    16. i dont think i would want him too. mostly because of the price, but also because i like the surfing about, picking out the sculpt and colours, etc. i think i wouldnt bond with one he picked because it wouldnt fit the image i might have going in my noodle.
       
    17. If it was for a birthday present or something maybe i wouldn't mind, but it makes me a bit uncomfortable because BJD's are expensive *_* i wouldn't want him to spend so much on me!
       
    18. First, my husband would have to revive me from my having fainted. :lol: He's kinda funny about my participation in this hobby. On the one hand, he supports all my various endeavors and doesn't quite understand how I've taken to this hobby. That said, though, he is supportive in his own special way, offers suggestions on stories, costumes and, dolly-scaled props and admitted to posting one of my go-related photostories on a baduk forum.

      If he offered to buy me a doll, he'd likely give me the choice of doll and I'd happily let him buy it.
       
    19. On my birthday, my ex said he had looked into getting me a doll, or something doll related- But didn't know where to start.
      If he had, I would have been so pissed. These dolls are my expenses, and should be left at that.

      Had he gone through with it, I would have either sold the doll and returned the money, or paid him in full and kept the doll, depending on which doll it was.
      I am not an ungrateful person, and it would have been appreciated, but I am the only one who should buy such an expensive thing for myself.

      I wouldn't want someone to spend so much on me.
       
    20. My boyfriend on several occasions has said he wanted to buy me one, but I could never let him spend the money. He wants me to pick out the dolls so he doesn't get a bad one or one I'll dislike so he can't get me one if I don't comply
