Anyone at Sherwood CenterParcs?...

...that fancies picking up a toy that I really should have bought my DD at the time? We came home yesterday.

I didn't, thinking I'd secretly nip back for it, then surprise her on her Birthday, but I didn't clock that the Just Kids shop closed at 6.00pm.

I've called the store, and they won't post it. It's not available anywhere in the flipping UK, and charges from the US are £25.

It's a Polly Pocket set, about £15.00. If anyone is kind enough to pick it up and post it to me (I'll obviously pay the P&P) I would be eternally grateful.

It didn't occur to me how tricky it would be to find one!

Update! I've just got back to a lovely message from a MNer currently in Elveden CP, who has found the Polly Pocket set! It's been safely purchased and will be posted in due course!

I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the lovely messages offering help here and by PM - you are a lovely lot!

Hugest thanks to that very lovely MNer, have a magical time at Elveden - my DD will be so, so happy 😍

Thank you everyone! xxx

No worries at all, happy to help xxx

I'm soooo glad that everything worked out so well for you, and that you are soooo happy. That Centerparcs (whichever one it was, I forgot, sorry!) is soooo much nicer than the one that doesn't have a proper glass dome on the top of the Subtropical Swimming Paradise and so doesn't let the sunshine in in quite the same way, it has to be just right, doesn't it? Soooo glad you had your happy ending, I guess lots of people would think you were making a bit fuss over nothing whatsoever, but it's the little things that give us that tiny hit of extra sunshineyness, that makes everyone's day just that teeny, tiny bit more jolly, and gives a person a reason to carry on, what do you think?

My DD has only mentioned the Polly Pocket set about 570 times since getting home Grin - I'm so glad that she'll actually unwrap it on her birthday!

Huge thanks again - you're brilliant intheheights xx

I'm soooooo glad that you took some time out of your completely non-bitter day to spread your special non-bitter feelings over a genuinely nice thread. Sooooooooo pointlessly mean but hey, someone's gotta be you, sooooooo might as well be you 😁☀️🌞

Well done, @intheheights, for spreading the seasonal cheer!
Kindness to strangers type of stories warm my heart.

OP, glad your DD will get her Christmas surprise.
