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

Posting here for traffic because I am clearly not BU

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

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

Omg amazing thread. So glad you have one. Merry Christmas everyone 🥂

Well done @bonkerz, @bicnod! And welcome @flofflemama!

What a wonderful, heartwarming pre-Christmas thread, you lovely lot.

Merry Christmas and a floffely New Year, one and all!

Castieldeansam · 16/12/2017 07:37

@flofflemama with my first son, we bought his favourite teddy abroad so couldn't get a replacement. Whenever he left the house (on holiday) he wore a Tshirt with 'I belong to ....... if found see inside' and inside Tshirt ' if found please return to (house number and postcode). Thank you' maybe worth making him something like that or easier still getting a luggage tag for him to wear on outings just in case.

YouDancin · 15/12/2017 22:34

I hope you love it Flofflemama
All of Helen Cooper's books are wonderful. So glad your DD has a replacement.

And two more... good luck

TWINS77 · 15/12/2017 21:07

Here are some from ebay, not sure about the size

YouDancin · 15/12/2017 21:06

Such a happy ending.

I said before but you missed it - I think you need to buy the little girl the book "Tatty Ratty"
www.penguin.co.uk/ladybird/books/1004985/tatty-ratty/

It is the story of a toy rabbit who is lost. The little girl is heartbroken. They look everywhere- no luck. But the rabbit is coming home - a series of steps that make it look cleaner, buttons back on where they were missing, whiter fur ... etc etc... (as will happen as HER seal is used) ... then the rabbit is reunited with the little girl and we all cry (well I do when reading it).

OOh Flofflemama. Nice to meet you . I bet you can´t wait for Christmas to come!
