Is there a really kind Mumsnetter who lives near a Tiger store?

[Crusoe]

Would anyone who lives near a Tiger store be able to help me?
Last year I got my son a multi coloured cap with a propeller on the top from Tiger. He LOVED it and wore it lots and lots. Sadly it got broken recently by another child and he is so upset about it. I don't live near a Tiger store anymore and they don't do online orders.
I bought a substitute hat via ebay but it's rubbish. I desperately need a replacement from Tiger.
My son has some additional needs and is very focused on this hat if anyone could get one and I could reimburse you I would be so so grateful. It would make a fab Christmas present! X

There is a Tiger store in a nearby town and apparently we are getting a new one in our tiwn in the next few days!

Can you get a list of which branches have the hat in stock?

I'll try they weren't very forthcoming the other day but I can try again!

I can have a look in the Tottenham court road branch tomorrow.

I was planning on doing some Christmas shopping there later. I gave them a bell and they said they have some in stock. Happy to pick one up for you. Will PM you.

RumAppleGinger - you star, you absolute star. Thank-you so much.
If you do manage to get one I would be so grateful. Pm me your details and I will arrange payment etc

I have one, pm me your address and I'll pop in the post today.

Heading out shortly, let me know if you want to take cherry up on her offer or if you would like me to grab you one. No bother either way.

I was going to the Hereford branch this afternoon so I'l have a look for you then.

Ahh - didn't see page two! I see crisis has been averted - good stuff.

RumAppleGinger thank you if Cherry Pippin has one I will take her up on her offer.

Had a ring a round here this morning, not one to be had in the whole of Ireland! Glad you're sorted. The lengths a DM will go to

Cherry pippin just sent you a PM
Thank you so much. The power of mumsnet is fantastic

Maybe you should take RumApple's offer too. A back up for the replacement might be useful, if the hat is that beloved.

I ruddy love MN. Read the OP and thought......hmmm, can I get to my local Tiger this weekend, but no need! You're all lovely. Have a and all of you.

Yay you have one! I will still look though if you want, in case you want a back up?

I have two brand new ones. I bought them as Stocking fillers yesterday but you can have them both if you want. They will probably just end up dumped in a corner anyway. Pm me if you want them

They still have tags on and were £3 each.

Sorry, none in Dublin, glad you got sorted!

Well I couldn't have helped anyway, but MNers are bloody marvellous aren't they?
Well done everyone for a combined effort, OP, hope your ds is really happy with his new (excellent) present

I just wanted to say a final thank-you to everyone who looked for the propeller hat. You were all really kind.
I now have 3 propeller hats thanks to Ruhrpott and Cherrypippin so well supplied for future breakages.
I was going to wait for Christmas before giving my son a new hat but he has mentioned it so often that I gave in. He is absolutely thrilled and even wore it in the bath last night!
Thank-you all so much

So sweet!

I was going to say that I will be going by a store on Saturday. I got a lovely warm smile instead. So pleased for you and your ds, Crusoe.

I love this thread. [fsimile]

Brought a tear to my cynical old eye. I could have gone this weekend too, let me know if all three end up in the bath!
