My trans gf has been dropping subtle hints that she would love an Ikea shark but they're sold out in my country so I couldn't get one for her. Now I bought her a different shark, which is smaller than the one from Ikea but it is filled with some sort of grain and lavender so you can put it in the microwave and it gets all warm and smells good(if you like lavender that is).
I want to give it to her soon, but now I'm getting nervous that she is just going to be disappointed because it is not the shark she wanted. Would you be sad if you wanted an Ikea shark but your bf gave you a smaller micowaveable one?
it's a very cute shark and it's special because it's coming from you user
Camden Harris
Very sweet of you.

dont do it. this will end your relationship. it has to be blahaj, you don't understand.
Nolan Gutierrez
Part of what makes blahaj so cute is its cute facial expression. Picrel in op does not have the same cute face.
Regardless, if shes not a stupid brat shed appreciate that her bf got her a gift. Maybe just get her something else entirely tho rather than looking for the closest approximate alternative if the thing shes been telling you she wanted sinply isnt available.
Grayson Edwards
I'm sure it'll be fine as long as you don't give up on getting a blahaj altogether. Frame it like they're another shark friend that will get along with blahaj once you're able to find one :)
Zachary Price
you live in a shithole country and you're too inept to get your hands on a cheap plush that ships almost worldwide. you sure sound like a catch lmao.
Evan Kelly
That's so cute, I'm sure she'll love it
Asher Perry
She should still appreciate it and love the sharkie. Maybe you can later on find it the Blahaj sibling for company and get her excited again
Ryan Sanders
there's literally no replacement for blahaj. Order off ebay or get a fren to ship one to you. Sorry OP
its cringe. it will go straight in the trash as soon as the relationship is over
Wyatt Edwards
Ignore the haters and brats OP. I'm sure she'll appreciate it and if she doesn't you can send it to me. That shark is a cutie and being able to have a warm shark to snoogle would be based af
Oliver Hernandez
I would just tell her that they are out in your country so you are still looking for it, and won't stop until you get your hands on one. If you give her that after as a extra bonus gift while you look, it should hopefully work out.

>all the bratty entitled boymoders ITT dw OP, i would love to get a microwaveable shark, blahajs arent sold where im from so i know the struggle
Xavier Hughes
good partners trash partners
Nathaniel Scott
This thread breaks my heart T_T This. If your gf is worth her shit, she'll understand and appreciate it, but don't give up on getting her THE shork later. Blahaj is just kinda special. Good luck, nonny!
Camden Foster
Just wait to be able to get the ikea shark Unless she has like... a specific fixation or love for sharks, shell be disappointed that the thing you got for her is not the thing she was asking for Im certain she'll appreciate getting a gift anyway; just maybe choose something else as a gift entirely. Then you get to be the good gift giving boyfriend without having to go "i know its not the one you wanted but..."
Mason Sullivan
it didn't work when your mom bought you a cheap knockoff vidya and it won't work here either.
Nathaniel Cox
ya.. otherwise you're just giving for yourself and not for them.

Justin Robinson
Thanks everyone! I think I'll just go through with it and hopefully the shark from Ikea will become available again in a couple of weeks/months, and then I'll buy her another one. I'm just really afraid that I'll get her hopes up of getting the shark she wants only to see the disappointment in her eyes once she realizes it's a different one. I think she'll understand it, but still: I'd hate for her to have to pretend to like it just to spare my feelings.
William Moore
Dang it, that's a good point as well. I can still return the microwave shark, so maybe I should and come up with something else entirely. It would be easier if Ikea would know when it becomes available again. I even wrote an email to their customer service but even they did not know when, if at all, it would become available again. :(
