What present would you like to receive that is hard/impossible to find?

[WaterBird]

There was a thread recently about nonexistent presents, but what about the ones that DO exist, but are difficult/nearly impossible to obtain?
There is a folk group I like from the 70s that has quite a few albums available digitally, but a few of them are unavailable. Some sites have them in vinyl, but quite a few have already sold out of their vinyl too.
Anyone else have anything they'd love to get?

Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury

Not impossible but difficult to obtain with the cover that I want.

My gran bought me a ring in past times 15 years ago, which had rune shapes marked around it each separated by a vertical line. I lost it on a train. It wasnt expensive but I'm gutted I lost it and I've never come across another like it

@AlpacaPicnic there is a Facebook group called Bath & Body Works, Yankee, USA Candy & USA Goodies.... join it & you shall never have to forgo caramel M&M's again. Most of the sellers are cabin crew members so will shop to order for any other American items you're looking for... I'm an addict

Wow, impressed at the flying ducks!

Armani Mania perfume.

I last found it in a random airport in Brazil in 2014

I always got complimented when I wore it and I wish they hadn't discontinued it

Teller, thanks, I'll check that out! My bank balance may not thank you ;)

A Kowl figure from She-ra, it had a tummy that worked like a magic 8 ball - you could ask questions and like magic! it answered. My dad's best mate, who randomly was a mills and boon writer, gave it to me for Christmas. I was playing with it in the garden and put it on a tree branch (as it was an owl thing), and never saw it again.

I have speculated for many years what happened, and have concluded that a large bird of prey mistook it for a baby bird of prey and snatched it away in massive claws. Obviously.

I lost a silver earring from Tiffany’s 6years ago. Taking off a scarf. They don’t make them anymore. I also lost a Pearl the same way about the same time but was able to replace those.

I’ve also been searching for a kiwi kitsch item we had on our houses in the 50s. My cousin has a set on hers but I’ve never been able to find them online. I’ll have to have a proper hunt if I get to go home someday soon

@itssquidstella You should easily be able to find that. Keep an eye on west elm or urban outfitters for new. Google mid century telephone table and vintage ones come up

various tables available on ebay

@catbot all hail 😂

Peace and quiet. Hours and hours of the stuff.

Tayto chocolate! an old friend bought me some from Ireland but haven’t been able to get it back since

Doolys toffee lacquer

I prefer the vodka myself! But yeah...that stuff was GOOD.

The missing 8 Pound Puppies from my toy van It was my only toy as a child so I took excellent care of it and unfortunately the little accessories were lost by someone else.

World peace is a very good one!

A woman/child sized, waterproof to 100m, analogue watch, with a second hand, all minutes marked, straps, and day and date function, that doesn't come with digital read out, multiple dials around the watch face and stupid colours.

Hours of a person's time, who would come and help me declutter dehoard my house.

Time spent with me.

A pain-free existence would be amazing.

A cheap decent small tv for the kitchen, doesn't seem to exist anymore, only 44" monstrosity's.

A month of Sundays, every one with a good night's sleep.

Tom Ford Sahara Noir. It's discontinued and my heart aches. It sometimes goes for insane prices on eBay. I had half a bottle left and treasured it but some bastard stole it from my flat at a party. I know it sounds stupid but smell is really important to me and I feel so sad to think I'll never smell it again 😩

A good Teasmade. Last time I checked the one or two available had bad reviews.

The one that springs first to mind is a ring I always wore. It was the cheapest thing available to buy in a very expensive jewellers. I bought it on my travels what seems like many years ago. It reminded me of me, as a very young woman, with the freedom to travel independently, and of one very special person I met at that time but decided, perhaps foolishly, to let go. My life was at a crossroads and I chose to carry on in the direction I was already heading.

My life has moved on, I'm blessed to be a mother now, and there's been so much water under the bridge since I bought that ring. It was my link to who I was back then. My 'what if' or 'if only' ring, if you like.

I lost it about a decade ago, feeding the pigs! I threw some feed, and it must have flown off because I'd lost some weight. It never turned up, despite exhausting all avenues to find it.

I could have a replica made, but it wouldn't be the same. I know it's only a little thing, and far worse things happen at sea, but I used to look at it and reminisce. I feel I've lost the link to the old me and that part of my identity. Silly, I know.

It was fairly unique, but one might be for sale back where I was in the world - I'm just never going to be able to return there. FC, if you're reading this, any chance?!

A fragrance. ‘At The Beach 1966’ by the brand ‘CB I Hate Perfume’.

It makes you smell like you’ve been at the beach all day, part sunscreen, part salt water, part nostalgia. One of those perfumes you just sniff and waft around sometimes, just to cheer yourself up.

My DD and her friend found my cherished last droplets of it, and used it to play act ‘summer holidays’ last winter. Now it’s discontinued, usually stale when found, and tragically expensive even without ‘fragile’ postage to Australia. On the upside, it’s pretty small, so maybe Santa could fit some in the glove-box of his sleigh???
