Definitely a first world problem, but my 7 year old has asked FC for a very specific Barbie Mermaid Colour Reveal doll. I've gone to a bit of effort to find out the serial number of the correct doll, but obviously can't physically go to a toy shop at the.momwnt to search for the right one (in England). I have spoken with Smyths, The Entertainer and Mattel direct, and all are insistent that their warehouse operatives cant select a particular serial number of toy, and that I will just get the random selection. I did say to my daughter that she may not get the exact doll she has asked for,but as FC is bringing it to her, she cant understand that, because he is magical!
Anyone got any bright ideas of how I can make this happen for her? Silly really, but it seems really important this year, as she struggled hugely mentally with the original lockdown, and, more recently, has been a little diamond while at home because her class bubble burst, doing loads of chores with me, prepping dinner every day, getting her school work done.
Ig anyone has any bright ideas, I'd be very grateful. 😊😊😊😊
