To ask for help finding a giant purple octopus?

[Mammyloveswine]

DS2 turns 3 next week.., he has been dinosaur mad for a long time but in the past few months has taken a shine to octopi..

Anyway he had requested "a giant big purple octopus" for his birthday like this one..

It's discontinued from Wilkos!

Has anyone got one they wish to sell?? I'm in the north east and happy to pay the purchase value plus postage!!

Jellycat do an octopus from memory but I don't think it's purple.

Amazon also have loads.

Sure I’ve seen similar in pet shops.

Octopus energy are giving away giant pink octopuses when you join up

These are all lovely but he keeps stressing he wants "a really giant one"! He currently has 3 lovely ones that are varying sizes but nothing huge!

Betty from Hey Duggee is a purple octopus, I’m sure you can buy big plush teddies...

@unicornpoopoop might have to switch purely for that reason

Sainsburys have a fairly big purple octopus- it is a wheat bag that you can warm in the microwave. They were reduced with all the xmas bits

This one is 80cm so nearly as big as Wilco one, same type pp linked but the bigger size

Try switching your electric to Octopus, I think we have one on the way.

I have nothing to offer, but I just wanted to say that I love how funny kids imaginations can be 😂

putting large purple octopus toy into google brings up loads - the largest I came across was 80cm

Are you really certain that he's no longer into dinosaurs? this is cute

@Raerae7 honestly he's so funny! It started with an octopus toy at nursery (which they kindly gave him as a leaving present) but he's obsessed! Got him one for Christmas and he carts it around everywhere but is adamant he needs a giant purple one

Thanks everyone! A lot of the sites linked I've googled and not great results ☹️☹️

But definitely going to look into switching to octopus energy as even if it's after his birthday will be a nice little treat for him later in the year!

@EveryDayIsADuvetDay oh he still loves dinosaurs but he just really wants a giant purple octopus 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Surely this one is perfect? I love it!

I'm an Octopus customer and we got the cuddly toy octopus free. If you decide to switch, I can refer you and we each get £50 credit on our accounts for doing it 😁 I can confirm it's true as I was referred and got my credit just like the other person did. Pm me and I'll send you the link which has the details if you're interested 👍

@Mammyloveswine 🤣 I don’t have anything even remotely useful to add I’m afraid OP but your post made me smile 😊 your little boy sounds great 🤣😍 who doesn’t need a giant purple octopus, right?!?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Have you tried contacting Wilko on the off chance they can source one for you?

I now want a purple octopus.

@Mammyloveswine. I found that exact listing on Marketplace. Does she not want to post it to you?

I switched to octopus and didn't get a purple octopus.

I am VERY jealous.
