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?

For. If she actually used a complete sentence. :) Given how Faith twists words to do her bidding, you can always get around this with "He bought. I got." or words to that effect.
