Looking for ELC 2004 ish giraffe toy

[Debsy37]

Help. My boy has lost his security toy- a giraffe. If anyone has an Early learning centre giraffe, orange with yellow spots and it rattles I would be sooo grateful.

Please email [email protected]

I dont have one, but have worked at ELC for a few years now so think I know which one you mean!

is this the one you mean?

OMG , that is the one !!!! Any idea of how I can get hold of one??!! Please reply

That looks likes Sophie the giraffe (lots in France). I think Jojo maman bebe have one but I thought it squeaked?

Hi, no its definitely an elc one, called Pudding Club giraffe. Thanks though!

AmazingBouncingFerret- I have contacted the ELC and they say they don't make the pudding club giraffe anymore . Thanks for telling me the name of it, any ideas how I can source one? None on ebay! Thanks again

Ohhh I thought you could buy them from that site but having just clicked on "buy now" I see that you cant.

You are right about us not selling it anymore we discontinued the range a few years ago. Shame about ebay, I know it was quite a big range with arches and pram toys, would your DD/DS be happy with one of the giraffes off them, they are slightly smaller than the one we sold alone but it might be a good alternative?
If not then maybe charity shops and car boots are the only answer.
You could also try phoning some of your local ELC's to see if they have one left over in the stockrooms. (I know my store definitely hasnt) Ive been known in my time to phone around other stores desperately trying to find discontinued stock for customers!

Hi again, thanks so much for getting back. That is a plan- will look for the pram toy version and arches. Tricky as I live overseas so no car boots for me!!! Will try phoning some elc stores and thanks again

AmazingBouncingFerret-do let your colleagues know that I will send a bottle of Moet champagne to anyone that can get a giraffe! Am that desoerate! A smaller version acceptable too!!!

I shall let them know! Will try to get in next week to have a look on the till system for you. (Im on maternity leave at the moment otherwise it would be sooner)
Where abouts are you?

ABF- live overseas, but have family in Surrey. I am determined to get my hands on one!!! You have been so helpful

Debsy, are you still looking for this giraffe?
I think my friend can help you, she runs a website selling discontinued soft toys and comforters & she thinks she has this giraffe in stock.
Is it ok if I pass your email to her and ask her to get in touch?

OMG absolutely!!! So kind of you to reply- thanks

mrs grumpygruffalo if she does have one remember I will buy it and send a bottle of champagne! ( you will have to share it with her!)

Might be way too late
