I had a similar situation happen like this and I ended up keeping what my hubby bought me (MIB My Child doll). Unfortunately the doll and I have never bonded but I don't know if this is because she is still in her box (can't take her out as it would devalue her by a fifth!!)

Hmmm - a tough one. A shame he listened to the sales lady. Guys are really swayed by sales people aren't they?
