QOTW: Are Blythes Appropriate Birthday Gifts?

The Bun-in-a-Cup thinks everyone should get a doll for their birthday!
What a loaded question! There are so many variables, so here are some things to keep into consideration:
The age of the person. I think we’d all be hard pressed to gift a Blythe doll to a toddler, but it is certainly appropriate for a child (or someone who is a child at heart) who can appreciate Blythe and can take care of them well.
The level of interest in Blythe. The last thing that you want to do is gift an expensive doll to someone who has a passing fancy in Blythe. But if they’ve been collecting, it’s probably a good gift bet.
And if you’re gifting yourself a doll for your birthday… Well I just think that is the most appropriate birthday gift of all – as you know yourself best! As for me, I definitely think that Blythe is an appropriate birthday present for most any age! Devi Delacour is my self-given birthday gift – I certainly know how to spoil myself! (Unboxing photos and fresh-out-of-the-box photos very soon!)
Do you think that a Blythe doll is an appropriate birthday gift?

I had one of those “mystery” clones that came out of the U.K. a few years back. Since my sister enjoys collecting angels, I customized the doll and turned her into an angel. It didn’t turn my sister into a Blythe girl, she does enjoy her angel and the angelic wardrobe I occasionally add to. I believe it is the idea that someone goes to the trouble of hand-making something special for her. She and I don’t get that kind of fuss unless we do it for each other.
