American vocab question: if Robin gave something to Faith as a gift would she say "he bought it to me" (this is what *I'd* say but I strongly suspect that's only correct in my dialect), "he bought it for me" or "he bought it me"? Or something else entirely?

She'd probably say : "Damn, look what Robin got me!".

*g* See, it's in the narrative, I'd have less of a problem if she was actually speaking it... curse you, limited 3rd person POV!

Then I would go with invaderwitch's choices.
