HELP argos elf on the shelf

Hi does anyone have this elf that is no longer loved or needed? It was from Argos a few years ago.
I have lost my daughters and she is devastated that he isn't here yet this year.
She is autistic, so doesn't understand why he wouldn't show up as he always has done. I have searched the internet to the best of my ability and cannot find him anywhere. I cannot bear to see her so upset and waiting each morning to see where he is
Many Thanks

Omg this made me so upset for your little girl 😭

Any chance you could hand-make it or order someone to hand-make it?

No....I wish I could. I'm rubbish at things like that! And I don't anyone that could make one, especially to be the same. 'Elfie' has been everywhere with us...Lapland UK twice, disneyland twice and days out over the xmas period. I had to tell her he has gone to elf prison for not helping 🫣

OP, afraid can't help, but bumping this.

Hope someone can come up with a solution soon, to comfort your daughter.

Really long shot since they haven't been on here since 2018, but @Cutyourshakehole has previously posted they had one and maybe they'll see the tag, still have it and be willing to part with it!

Bump for you

Go on the FB group 'Family Lowdown Tips & Ideas' - it's a huge group and they get really good results with searches like this.
Good luck 🤞

I am looking for you op. I found this thread if relevant

twoandcooplease · 03/12/2022 22:57

Sorry I don't think it is related actually but is it a better photo of your elf?

twoandcooplease · 03/12/2022 23:05

You can buy change of clothes if you don't think you can make one. Can the new elf turn up in the wrong clothes with a bag and note asking dd to be changed back into the right clothes?

Failing that hopefully @cutyourshakehole sees this and is able to help you. I've seen some great Mumsnetters hunt things down! Good luck x

There is one on facebook marketplace! Hopefully it's still available and they would post it?

EscapeRoomToTheSun · 03/12/2022 23:51

Or post on the north east thread and see if any local mumsnetter would collect it for you and post. I would but I live down south now.

Cutyourshakehole · 04/12/2022 01:05

I’m still here!
He’s living in my cupboard somewhere.. I’m sure of it. If you still need him I will have a hunt tomorrow? @Mrsswigs 🎄 🌟

Thank you so much everyone for your help in my search for 'Elfie' I appreciate it so much and have manged to get one thanks to you lovely people on here. Hopefully he will arrive safely after his stint in prison. Again, Thank you so, so much it really will make a massive difference. There has been many tears shed (by me) over this elf and I know my daughter will be so happy when he comes back. Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you enjoy the festivities. A very grateful and relieved mum xxx
