Autistic DD's unusual favourite ornament broken - help!!

28 replies

DesperateShopper · 27/05/2022 19:37

DD's favourite ornament is broken. She is autistic and she is completely inconsolable. Attached photo of it now (after it broke) and crappy sketch of what it looked like before it got dropped. Have tried googling but just get results for "Disney's Beauty and the Beast enchanted rose". DD's ornament is a rose and stem / leaf in a sphere on top of a black cylinder. Plugs into the mains, just has a simple on/ off switch. The rose part glows red and the stem / leaf are green. When not switched on they are metallic. How can I get it repaired or find a new one? Ebay just has loads of Disney style roses too, or roses with fairy lights wrapped around them. Not even really sure what search terms to use?? Any help most gratefully received; DD is really, really upset and her autism makes her really hate change so want to find a replacement asap (generally buy 2 of everything for this reason but this was from a charity shop) 💔😭
there is no branding on it at all so can't search for the company who made it. We have had it about 10 years. Think it must've been quite old? Who would fix it, maybe an electrician? Are there general "menders" anymore who can just mend stuff? I hate seeing DD so unhappy. Thank you in advance...

Where was it from, could it have been Disneyland? Maybe tweet Disney with a bit of the story? Are there any code numbers on it?

I emailed Disney land Paris years ago about an ornament only sold in park there and they were willing to send mail order. The address then was (but may have changed) [email protected]

This is probably a stupid question, but does it still light up & just the globe is broken or is it not lighting up?
I would try a few electricians,mor see if you have a repair shop type place nearby?

Do you have Facebook? Little blue cup is a group that searches for items - lots of mums searching for the precious item for children with disabilities. You should post on there

sorry it’s broken

MrsRuggles · 27/05/2022 19:47

I've not found it but am searching on 'Illuminated rose decoration'. I found this which is obviously not your daughter's broken ornament but it seems to be finding different things than what you are finding. Good luck. I'll keep looking. Hopefully the power of MN will find something she'll like.

We saw the live show in Manchester recently and they were selling similar items, not sure if it was exactly a lamp or just the rise ornament, but if you have the show coming to an area near you that could be a way of checking and buying it, or if anyone you know is seeing it? If it is the same I would happily buy one when I'm next in town and send it on to you if they are the right ones. I'm trying to Google now to see what it is they are selling at the show but lamp isn't showing for me.

Is it a light bulb that's broken? This is in Etsy - not round but maybe a different thing to search for?

Rose lightbulb

Antarcticant · 27/05/2022 19:55

I think this might be a Habitat Filly Lamp - there are 3 on eBay at the moment @DesperateShopper .

LostMyUserName · 27/05/2022 19:58

@DesperateShopper Is the glass sphere a bulb that fits in to the base?

LostMyUserName · 27/05/2022 19:59

Like this Bulb

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 27/05/2022 20:00

Or this? Another bulb

User12398712 · 27/05/2022 20:03

I don't suppose it's this one? smarthomego.com/products/edison-rose-decorative-light-bulb?sku=18053316566555485399870381

Littlehouseinthebigcity · 27/05/2022 20:05

If it is the filly lamp there is a rose one on eBay atm, though it's a chrome base

If you have a picture of it unbroken maybe do a reverse image search on google to see if you can find something similar. Even broken you might get a hit.

DesperateShopper · 27/05/2022 20:12

Glad it's identified! The seller might be receptive to a 'buy now' offer if you contact them.

TokyoSushi · 27/05/2022 20:17

Oh yay!! I love Mumsnet for things like this!

camelfinger · 27/05/2022 20:21

Hooray! A happy ending. Well done MN.
