If you have never seen a reborn baby doll, you really should take the time to investigate them a bit.  There are many being sold on eBay at almost any time.  Although some people find them a bit creepy, they are so realistic that you can barely take your eyes off of them.

The reborn dolls are make by highly skilled artists who meticulously go about the business of creating dolls so lifelike that they easily fool the eye.  Some of these dolls are further equipped to have heartbeats and even to create the illusion of breathing.

There may be some people who take their interest in these dolls to levels that are a bit unusual, but some artists report that their work is very well accepted in nursing homes by lonely elderly patients.  If you have not seen one yet, check them out.  The artistry is nothing short of amazing on some of them.
