"Searching for these Asda comforters.....can you help?"

[JaniedL]

Hi
A friend of a friend on Corfu has a 12 year old son with complex needs. They are in desperate need of these of any kind person has one they would donate. I will happily cover any postage costs to me in Wiltshire and will make sure they get to Corfu.
Thank you
Janie

There are lots of people on Etsy that make custom lovies. Someone may be able to make something similar.

Seen some quite similar by M&S on ebay, stripped material with dino in a corner. They be not similar enough, but I put in 'dino comfortor' in ebay search and the M&S are the only ones I saw with stripes. Hope your friend gets some soon.

Thank you everyone here for your nice comments. I’m choosing to ignore the weird ones! I have tweeted Asda and waiting to hear back from them 🤞🏼 Hoping we might be able to find one, if not both of these for this boy on Corfu. X

Is this similar enough?

I've done an ebay search for Bear comforter, Dino comforter and Asda comforter respectively to no avail.

Good luck Op.

This is the same make and shape but has no stripes. Any good?

I searched around and they are also called a 'doudou', but the ebay ASDA ones only seem to be the blue stripey monkey.
Amazon has a giraffe that has a similar face to the bear and striped if they would like to use a new one alongside the old ones to see if he would like it, but I know that may not work: www.amazon.co.uk/yeahibaby-Newborn-Security-Blanket-Yellow/dp/B0799HF2WL/ref=pd_sbs_1?psc=1&pf_rd_p=c1b0d6b0-0f46-4d06-b951-a1c184c4ce91&pf_rd_r=XCYF4SKJJ2X5NK1BKWWS&pd_rd_wg=syeuO&pd_rd_i=B0799HF2WL&pd_rd_w=9ePqd&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&pd_rd_r=594cb5d8-cb13-4c6e-a3e4-77e3fd5bdc37

I'd maybe report your thread and ask them to change the title to "Searching for this ASDA cloth" or something as the title is likely to be missed or swiped over.

Another vote for Little Blue Cup on facebook.

They're called comforters! Occasionally Blankies, but sold as comforters. I found an old post for the crocodile one which was actually listed as being from TU Sainsbury's. Couldn't find either on eBay (searched under TU, Sainsbury's and ASDA).

I don't have any but good luck OP, I hope you find some.

I second @SeaToSki the people of Esty are really talented so if you don’t find them maybe someone can help. Good luck

Definitely make the title of the post clearer OP!
Unfortunately for most complex needs similar isn’t good enough- it needs to be exactly the same. So hard for parents/ carers as well as the child/ person with the needs. Def try FB groups- good luck OP

I don't have one but I also have a child with complex needs and regularly search eBay for his special items so I sympathise. Good luck op. What a kind and thoughtful friend you are.

@Hugoslavia. It's deffo from George at Asda. This was from a dead link unfortunatley, but you can see the label.

Doudou is the American description. I know I don't have any but will have a look elsewhere to see if I can help.

Good luck OP - have also dropped ASDA a tweet - will let you know if they come back to me x

Note to @Whiskysoda - MN is a public forum on the internet and not your personal inbox which means that not all threads are aimed at you and only you.

And put down the gin.

HTH.

I'll search, I think I used to have some of these. Not sure if they are a Bear or Dino, but i'll check.
