Desperately searching for a certain mug for DM (aged 83)

[Ohyeahwaitaminute]

DM has broken her favourite mug and wants a replacement for Christmas… I have searched EVERYWHERE for a replacement and after a google image search, can only find it sold on a wholesale basis. Urgh!

At the age of 83, she really doesn’t want a lot…and I’m so desperate to find one…or even two.

The wholesale places won’t send me a sample and want a 10,000 piece minimum order… Urgh again.

I originally bought it from a gifty kind of farm shop in Shropshire years ago but I cannot - for the life of me - find ones to purchase online in ones or twos….

so, in desperation I thought I’d ask if the power of MN (which is spread far and wide) could keep an eye out during their Christmas shopping endeavours and if you see any for sale to let me know.

They’re porcelain with clear glazed stars. Think they also come in a hearts version which would be fine too. About 10cm high and 8cm diameter (roughly).

Thank you ☺️☺️☺️

@Greenfinch7 , that's so lovely - the true spirit of Christmas!

This was my exact thought too.

@Greenfinch7 i think I am going to remember this thread and your kindness every Christmas.

@Greenfinch7 🥰 you are amazing! 🎄

Thank you so much for the kind comments!
You are all making me feel weepy; this has been a way to make myself feel better and more Christmassy after some hard times. I feel like this was my good luck more than anyone else's- getting the chance to do something fun and surprise someone special (even though I don't know her).

That's a lovely mug @Greenfinch7. Well done 🙌

Well done Greenfinch!

This is like a Christmas movie.

Next thing, the OP will fall in love with someone while using the new mug

Well done @Greenfinch7.

Just wanted to add I would buy a couple too!

I love this kind of thread!

I’d buy a couple of the mugs too!

Well done @Greenfinch7

Hope the mug is happily received OP!

Just chipping in to say I'll have a couple of mugs too... they're lovely!

I thought I’d give you lovely lot an update on my international mug search.

@Greenfinch7 bought the best mug we could possibly find and has generously carted it across The Pond and it arrived here yesterday. She also kindly bought me a little espresso mug too!

She gets my Elf Of The Year Award. 🥇

Thank you all for your time and suggestions and Happy Christmas to you all.
Mum is going to be beside herself when she hears the story 😁

Wonderful 🥰

Such a lovely story! I hope your mum loves the mug and the story of its arrival even more.

@Greenfinch7 I hope you have an amazing Xmas - such a lovely act of kindness

This is the most heartwarming story, I will also remember it every Christmas.

Your Mum is going to be so thrilled OP. Have a lovely Christmas, and you too @Greenfinch7.

As I used to say to my kids the first Christmas they didn't believe and were feeling a bit sad 'we'll never be entirely sure there isn't a Santa, magical things seem to happen at Christmas' ....

Thanks for the update OP, really hoping you and your mum enjoy Christmas with her new mugs.

@Greenfinch7 what a lovely and generous gesture.

What a lovely update 🥰 hope she loves it

Wonderful 🥰

Having just read threads where people are being bitchy to the OP and laughing at me cruelly this is a lovely thread and outcome. Merry Christmas !

Awww OP lovely to see your picture, and I am glad everything arrived safely! You have made my Christmas much better, giving me the chance to be involved in this story!

You’re amazing! You just made OP’s mum very happy at Christmas how freaking awesome 🤩 🙌

Ahhh what a lovely update!!

Love this!

Lovely 🥰 Merry Christmas to your mum.

Such a lovely thread. Happy Christmas!
