Do I??? Me and dds watched fantastic beasts and where to find them this weekend and they loved it, especially the nifflers! I have been so good this year and only bought a few Christmas presents for them, no tat that won't get used. Now I'm twitching and tempted to buy them a baby niffler each and the big one for me but this would be silly wouldn't it. They have a zillion teddies. We really don't need a family of nifflers. Pleas3 give me strength not to buy these!! £48 on teddies is ott! But they really would love them so it's not tat!!

I’d go for nifflers for them and resist the one for you. Compromise...

Noooo!! I thought you'd all be very sensible and tell me not to be so ridiculous! I thought bout not getting the mummy niffler for me but then got sad at the thought of orphan niffler babies on Christmas morning.

I have no kids and am seriously tempted with a Niffler...

Another vote for a family of nifflers here!

I didn't know you could get Nifflers! I have barred myself from buying books until thr new year (if you could see my house you'd understand) so haven't been into Waterstones for months.
Nifflers aten't books though, so I won't be breaking any rules...

No kids here either. I think the cat deserves a Niffler for Christmas.

Nifflers certainly aren't books so they definitely don't count! I have them reserved and will be in town to pick then up tomorrow lunch time so you have 24 hours to convince me that I don't need a niffler or 3 so far I'd say you are all doing an unsatisfactory job! 😂

Weezol- according to waterstones baby nifflers are born in places with lots of books so sound slime your house would be an ideal place for a niffler to be raised! Alost cruel not too....

Oh god - DD is desperate for a niffler and we looked on Amazon and they were all earbleedingly expensive (presumably old stock from when the first film was released.

Haven't been into Waterstones for ages, so I had no idea they had them!

I know when I goggled they were mega bucks but then I spotted waterstones and they had tons of stock. Good thing I reserved as I think you'll all be after my nifflers now!!

I'm going to Waterstones tomorrow to adopt a Niffler. It would be morally wrong not to.

And I've just bought 3 baby nifflers, one for each of the DC. (I'd have probably got the big one as well if they hadn't only been available in store).

I refuse to buy another stuffed toy so DD will get a Niffler T-Shirt a size up. But I still have to go to town on Thursday and there is a Waterstone next to my favourite coffeeshop......

This is one of my bedside tables. Suitable for a Niffler?
