So on Etsy on a seller selling pictures I saw this giraffe. My brain has told me I have to have it for the nursery and nothing else will do. DH found it and wan tree s to get it, long story why. Google image search just comes up with the Etsy page which is selling the pictures not the giraffe and a Reddit page asking the same thing with a link back to the Etsy picture page……
Anyone know where I can buy something similar??????

You could buy some fabric and have a go at making it yourself? Or commission a crafty friend?

We have this one and my children love it. You can't play on it though, it's just for decoration.

We have the Melissa and Doug stuffed giraffe, it has been incredibly well loved and is still played with 4yrs later. Got it for £40 on eBay as well.

Edited

I so want this.

I don't need it.

I have no where to put it.

I have no appropriately aged people in the house to pretend it is for.

I must not buy it but man it's cute.

Just sliding in to suggest perhaps looking in Garden Centres?

Only because I was in one just before Christmas (Strikes, at Stokesley) and they had life-sized wicker reindeer... giraffes aren't a big step away?

Actually, it's a long way from Lapland to Africa.😀

Would one of these bad boys be considered “a bit much”? 🤣. It’s practical, cos it’s a light (also available in black).

local sculptor near us can make any animal from willow, he will deliver and install. Great guy, makes sculptures together with kids in school.

Didn’t expect any more replies, but some of these suggestions are awesome! Interesting other people could spot this was AI generated by how it looked, I’m usually good at the shit that’s started appearing on Facebook like the Greek hotel rooms with a pool under the sofa or lazy river type photos.

They’re wonderful, but bet they cost a fortune!

Ah, but giraffes have very long legs...

MavisTheMonkey · 30/06/2024 19:41

I think this has a similar vibe although only 80cm tall it's a bargain

Funnily enough that's close to us, and we got stuck on the M3 today (broken down!) and randomly a van went past with a trailer full of giant wicker animals. I did laugh (and no, I hadn't banged my head)

Useless fact - giraffes have the same number of bones in their necks as humans.
