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

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?

@misswilliamnot
I've never had that! Is that chocolate with real potato in?

Fizzy Lizzy bar. They don’t make them anymore. A UK download of the Care Bears II soundtrack. And right now to not have gastroenteritis.

ALPACAPICNIC, Tesco have Caramel M&Ms! Seen them in a couple of stores, think they are a limited edition for Christmas.
Hope you are watching this thread, as I don't know how to highlight your name.

They were pink with white sherbet in. I loved them when I was little.

A big injection of self confidence 🙁

A clear conscience

I had a pair of haematite stud earrings that I loved, they were little black hearts. I got them from America years ago and I lost one. I actually did get another paid made but they broke 🙈

Dyptique's Oliban candle. It was one of their Christmas special releases a few years ago, and I've only ever seen two for sale on eBay, for loads of money plus loads of postage. I'm another for whom scent is very important, and am very particular, so don't know if I'll ever find another candle I'll love as much. Sigh.

A food item with ‘Charlie’ in its name. There was a montezuma bar called Charlie’s luck but it’s been discontinued. I want/need it for an art project for my kitchen, I have food items with every other name in our family, but can’t get a Charlie. I have literally searched the Internet, there is nothing.

The only other thing I can find is a type of cracker called national Charlie, but it’s only available in the Caribbean and delivery charges are tremendous. Maybe when the poster above goes up Barbados for her rum, you could grab me some???!!

@Elliecam are these any good?

@thenewaveragebear1983

Have you seen the Charlie Bighams ready meals?

Notsomumsymum Under his claw Wink

thenewaveragebear1983 · 08/12/2018 10:08

Bike I have seen them, it doesn’t work for what I need it for unfortunately as I want to frame the packaging in a box frame, plus the ‘bigham’ bit is quite prominent. But thank you! I will keep searching, and I WILL find it one day!

@HerRoyalNotness have you contacted Tiffany about your earring? I lost one once and sent the one I had back and they matched it to a pair again. Admittedly it's a style they still sell 15 years on!

georgedawes · 08/12/2018 10:38

Caramel (not toffee or salted caramel!) vodka - can only find it in Spanish shops.

@itsfuckingxmasnotduckingxmas close but no cigar, these were submarines and submarine shaped, their only resemblance to ducks being there were three of them in ascending size and they were to be grouped on the wall like flying ducks. The hunt continues!

MissLadyM · 08/12/2018 13:59

Oh and a DIPTque Giroflier(clove) candle. Sods discontinued it. Like my previous post about Ton Ford Sahara Noir, I'd have stockpiled if I'd known! It's heartbreaking!

Elllicam · 09/12/2018 00:31

@Bikerunski those are nice too but mine were just tiny heart studs.

A set of return flights with a layover in a hotel for a night before coming back.
Silence. Sitting still. Tv. Someone brings me food. A night of solitude. Reading time. Bliss. 7hrs each way ought to do it.

My skinny waist.
It's still there, but it's being hidden by a big layer of me !

A box of rainbow coloured kittens.

A cat toy that is so amazing my cats will never get bored with it and will happily play for hours.......well... minutes.

A device so that I can't hear loud noises and pop music.
