Bloody jellycat teabag

I got one in a local shop for DD’s Christmas, if you PM me I can give you the details as they may post if they have any left. It was £29.

Just want to share a story from last Christmas

my daughter was desperate for the Jellycat peach - same scenario, none anywhere and overly inflated prices on vinted etc….

about 3 days before Christmas I took a bag of stuff to my local charity shop and saw they had a basket of soft toys.

I had to look twice but I saw a jellycat peach staring at me - with its tags on!!!! I had a good rummage in the box and it was the only jellycat in there so I took it to the till.

by the time I’d got it the lady was emptying my stuff out the bag I’d taken and she says to me “oh you’ve bought some lovely bits in, you can just take that if you like”!

I could not believe it and I had given them a huge bag of nice stuff and always take my things there and that just made me feel all warm and Christmassy and my dd absolutely loved it 🥰

you never know you might be in luck with these things But people buying tonnes and re selling them needs to stop x

Allie is showing up as about a quid for me on Aliexpress! Havn’t bought anything for a while so I have a nice discount!

My issue is that I havw googled it and IMO it doesnt even look like a teabag, more like a tampon 🤔

I can understand why you are peeved it is important for your 14yo to have this to complete the collection but how much longer can and will this go on? They have a "cuddly" stick of ginger, a mussel plus a peanut as part of their "adorables" but I would call them Muggables because they are mugging people (fans) off 🤭

"like a mug"
Very good! 😂

This 👏

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone who can crochet? I wish people would en mass put their foot down with these fads and not accept being taken for fools.

I can check for you tomorrow if you want!

Jesus, this thread is twat central!

@Teasforfears, I'm glad that @AngeloMysteriosofound you a Steepy!

I have steepy, but I got lucky that I walked into the shop as the box arrived! You will eventually find one!

I can’t remember but I expect it was a bit of both. I do remember us as a family trying absolutely everywhere to get a Trivial Pursuit game in time for Christmas, and it was impossible. No internet of course so it was a question of trawling all the shops.

Try reading more than the first line. I said the other mum tried to take him out of my mum's hands which I think most people would understand meant the other woman tried to snatch it from my mum.

Also, I wasn't there, it was a Christmas present, she told me about it later, not sure why you would assume I would have been there whilst she shopped for my Christmas present, so I wasn't "clapping along gormlessly", which I hope isn't something you'd say about an eight year old child under your real name.

And I also said that I would not have been proud of her if she had tried to take it from someone else.

So my post was perfectly clear and my headline for you is to just make sure you've read and understood what you're responding to in future before you start effing and blinding.

Oh, good grief. Unclench

We love Jellycats in this house,my daughter has a few and did the fish and chips experience at Selfridge's...but the teabag? It just reminds me of a tampon 😬

I don't have a problem with my mum refusing to let some random lunatic grab the toy she was holding and run off with it. I think "fucking gross" is a massive overreaction on your part.

😂

wtf! Two grown women literally fighting over a toy? And their 8yr old feeling ‘proud.’ You think that’s ‘lovely.’ Words escape me

Oh my god, I loved that episode! "Next thing you know, you're flying out of Bogota, with a balloon full of fuzzy buddies strapped up your ass!" 😂😂

I saw them in the Edinburgh Lothian Road Paper Tiger store earlier this week - www.papertiger.co.uk/pages/contact-us/

And you never know - she might decide as it her money to spend on what she want some super hyed tea bag isnt so appealing!

Shes 14 not 4. Give her the money. Let her go about sourcing one. If she gets one she gets one, if she doesnt she doesnt.

No longer your problem!

We had the same issue with the rainbow dragon last year. Luckily dd (20) was old enough not to get upset about it……then suddenly after Christmas we walked into a shop and they had 5 rainbow dragons in stock after jellycat decided to make a load more. I won’t be hunting down a jellycat this Christmas.
