    Like all Sociopathic Oligarchs, he's got OCD hoarding disorder about money. He thinks in terms of quantity, the more the better, so while a doll might be an adequate gift, a GOOD gift would be 37 of them, probably all the same doll because of a volume discount. He's just giving us permission to accept less.
