Yes you can! Some of us are very supersticious dice rollers and getting random dice just will not do. You have to ensure they'll get along with the other dice (I do this through matching designs), have the proper function (I have dice specifically for my high-level rogue's sneak attacks as I can potentially roll 21d6 in a round), and have been properly tested (the last thing you need is a die that always rolls low).
I've matured with age, but in my youth, I had to give someone a solid punch to the shoulder when he rolled my dice without permission (they're very sensitive and particular about who rolls them).
I generally leave game buying to myself and ask for movies, books, and CDs for presents. Except for those gamer friends who already know my preferences.
