To ask you to help me find another Lamb teddy AKA Lamby

Hi everyone!

Hoping to ask for help in tracing another lamb teddy for my daughter, she really loves it like no other teddy!

Lamby does have a label but it is just a fire warning and instructions on washing.

Here is Lamby-

No, not quite I don't think.

@Whitney168 That's so close! Thank you for looking. I may think of using that one as a 'back up' if we can't trace it.

We had this with a bunny rabbit. I advise anyone whose child has a favourite toy to buy a few of them if they know the shop it came from. This rabbit was knitted, so the stitches wore and ran as it got older. It was from M and S .
I think we had four before the shop stopped doing them. One was lost, others replaced and stitched. One is still loved, with the two very worn ones hidden in a cupboard in case needed but really beyond repair.
Sorry, l can't help with Lamby though

@Frankley I wish I'd had known that lamb teddy would've turned out to be her favourite! She has so many others but this is the one.

I hope I can find another 😫

There's a law that children must never choose the most easily-replaced teddy as their favourite.

Where possible, they will always select the uniquely hand-crafted one that your since-deceased great-aunt bought from a one-off market in a town no one remembers the name of when she went on her first trip to Spain in 1966. It will have been in a drawer in her house right until the day you went to visit with your 2 year old, who spotted its tail sticking out, seized it, and has never let go except for that single brief moment when you were crossing a canyon.

Is it 'first impressions lamb cream sheep'?

@BelfastSmile Haha! That made me laugh!

I think it's a true fact!

@Alwaysoutofreach Ooooh, I think that's very close! The limbs look longer but that's an awesome find, thank you!

Not helpful at all, but my brother’s favourite toy is also called Lamby and I will admit I clicked on this thread in panic! 😂

We lost 'rabbit' on a motorway journey once. It was terrible. Hippo was darned and stitched by MIL till he was a mere shell of an animal. God bless her.

I love Lamby but can't help you Sad

Babysharkdoodoodood · 17/08/2020 19:32

Hahaha. I had about 6 Tiggeys. It was a Ty beanie baby called Thor. I ended up getting the extras on eBay. Ds2 kept dropping them out the buggy.

I've actually got one left upstairs with a manky chewed tail. My eldest, bless him, bought me a big version with a slate and degree scroll when I got my degree.

I hope the link works!

This is funny as my son was bought a sheep “Sheepy” at birth from a friend.

He slept with it every night

He is 15 now AND STILL HAS IT IN HIS BED!!
It’s a black sheep now!!!

felicityheather · 17/08/2020 19:44

Well done ladies! Can't believe you both found it. I needed this today - the internet is amazing!

FlamingoAndJohn · 17/08/2020 19:45

I am now hugely invested and need to know if Lamby can be replaced.

itbemay1 · 17/08/2020 19:46

@aShinyNewUsername my 15 year old also has a lamb aka fluffy who is not so fluffy anymore!

@Peapod67 I also love you!

This is so awesome, you both have to tell me how you found Lamby!

My daughter is going to be so pleased. I think I'm going to buy about 10 of them 😂 Should I buy more than that though?!

What are the chances she decides that Lamby isn't her favourite anymore?

@felicityheather The internet is truly amazing. I am so happy I posted :)

Ahhh, I am so pleased you found a replica!

My son lost a Lamby (from mothercare) and we couldn’t find a replacement, he was devastated.

We bought him Elmo from h&m, it was the label and size he liked!

They only have 2 of the Lamby replica in stock!
They're MINE (said in Gollum's voice)
