Can anyone help me find a pretty odd and specific Christmas present?

A bic pickle lighter (don't ask)

But its the only thing my Autistic son has actually asked for after me asking him 100 times.

They are just normal bic lighters, with a pickle on them. They are on OnBuy but shipping and customs comes to £151 🤣🤣🤣

Can anyone help at all?

Would they be on eBay?? Or home bargains/gift shops?

24Dogcuddler · 28/10/2025 21:51

How old is he?

Blessedbethefruitz · 28/10/2025 22:05

Feedback on the official bic site is only 22 days old - it's probably worth giving them a call/email to see if they have any hanging about.

Could you buy plain white lighters and pickle stickers?

I'm not sure if they were just a USA thing?

I could but they wouldn't be the same really, apparently its not just a random pickle lighter it has to be these ones 🤣

My message was auto blocked for some reason, but there’s some on a website called everymarket. Uk

£27.49, plus £9.99 flat fee delivery to Uk.

Not sure if any custom fees etc

Hopefully it’s okay, have no idea if the website is any good.

I’m assuming the pickle is a Rick and Morty thing?

Just further looked at reviews for that website, and doesn’t look great.

Sorry OP, should have checked before I posted

Hopefully you can get one somewhere 🤞

Actually not, though I thought so too. Its from a video of a guy in an off licence in the US buying a lighter and getting very offended as he is randomly given this one and wants something more masculine.

This is a great idea. I suppose it'll depend on who takes your enquiry, but everywhere I've worked a request like this would prompt a helpful response.

Try TwiX as well, especially if you have followers who will can be pushed to amplify the urgency.

Maybe email Walmart too? Can’t hurt

This is the sort of thing a helpful US Mumsnet member can hopefully help with! Falling that, Reddit.

LivingTheDreamish · 29/10/2025 02:32

They are available on amazon.ca (Canadian site) but not sure if this helps as the shipping is probably horrendous.

MarxistMags · 29/10/2025 02:39

Great answer 😀

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 29/10/2025 02:41

It appears on amazon uk.
