DEFENDING THE WOMAN

One netizen was confused about why the woman had never purchased a doll for herself before. They said: "What's she been doing with her paychecks if she's not buying herself things she's always wanted."

Netizens quickly came to the woman's defense, and one commenter responded:

"Not everyone makes enough to cover all of their expenses including family AND have money left over. I don't know where you come from but a large portion of the population lives like this."

THE BEST GIFT IS GIVING

Others simply shared what the video meant to them. Someone expressed: "It be the little things man when you go through life without and finally get to experience something it's a special moment you never forget."

Users also shared their own experiences, and many shared how they have spoiled their parents, who didn't have much growing up. One commenter stated: "My mom used to play with a brick as a doll because it was heavy like a real baby."
