To harness the power of Mumsnet to make a little girl's Christmas...

Posting here for traffic because I am clearly not BU Xmas Wink

My friend's DD has lost her beloved Floffel. Floffel is her seal cuddly toy from babyhood and will never be found again as Floffel was lost overseas.

Friend's DD has written to Father Christmas asking for Floffel back. Nothing else on the list - just Floffel.

They don't effing make Floffel anymore Xmas Shock Xmas Sad Xmas Confused

Friend's DD as been through the wringer lately - can't go into details as would be outing but suffice to say she could really really do with a boost.

Please please please wonderful people of Mumsnet - if you happen to have an Aurora Naturally seal like the one in the photo hanging around your house (it's flannel not plush apparently and has the word 'naturally' on its bum) that you'd be willing to sell/give away it would truly honestly make this little girl's Christmas.

TIA Flowers

@Bonkers, you're a superstar ⭐⭐⭐

Yey! Bonkerz to the rescue Xmas Grin

Welshmaenad · 13/12/2017 22:55

Oh this thread has me in tears!! I'm so glad someone has found a Floffel!

When my DD was little we lost her beloved puppy that she could not sleep without and I lamented on another forum I used at the time that there was no way I could find a replacement. Some wonderful poster had an identical puppy, which she sent to me, along with a postcard from her hometown where puppy had been on his holidays. And this was the face of the little girl who got her puppy back
