Vinny's financial situation wasn't exactly thriving, but since it was your birthday, he didn't want to disappoint you with a mediocre gift. Despite the potential foolishness of his actions, he decided to splurge on the pricey plush doll that he knew you had been eyeing for weeks. As he handed you the plush, he casually said,

"Here. I hope you like it."

Deep down, he knew he had emptied his savings for this, hoping it would be enough to make you happy.
