Lightning McQueen Asda "oodie"

[christmaslist78]

My son, who is 14 with autism and still a firm believer, has just declared Santa is bringing him a Lightning McQueen "oodie".
Santa is not, Santa has looked everywhere and can not find this anywhere. It went viral on TikTok, so sold out in all Asda. There was one on Vinted for £65, it had already sold and to be honest it was only £20 something when on sale so wouldn't have wanted to pay that.
Anyone any ideas or happen to have one that they no longer want.

Good luck OP, I hope you get one.

Good luck! I’m in the same boat as you, my son is also autistic and obsessed. I’ve tried as far Asdas as I can. I hope you don’t mind me asking in the same thread.😔

Do you know of anywhere that can print onto clothing near you, you could have gotten a bespoke one made for him onto a red Oodie or similar?

Don't think it would work for him. His adorable little autistic brain has fixated on this one

Thank you everyone for trying to help !!

Thank you

Not at all, hopefully we both end up with one.

So sorry op I didn’t reply as my partner wasn’t well this morning so I didn’t get out. I can be at the shop in about an hour or just under to check for you if still needed.

OP are you near Manchester? Asda Hulme have some!

I will be going tomorrow so if no success I’ll have a look for you x

They had these near me last week, I got one for a friend. I don’t think I can get there today but I could look on Monday if you haven’t got one by then x

I’m going soon to check so if there’s more then one and you still need one I can grab it if you want?

Yes please! I would be over the moon! Thankyou so much honestly.

No worries. Keeping everything crossed they have some. It’s still showing 4 at the one I’m going in hulme so should be good.

Hope you partner is ok, and if you are going out can you please check, I would really appreciate it.

Nope, Northern Ireland and no store here has them in stock. Please check if you are able, thank you.

Thank you, I will let you know

Showing 7 in Warrington Westbrook if anyone is near there?

Best of luck OP! I know exactly how difficult it can be to find exact products and it's even more tricky when you can't get them sent over. Hopefully your son ends up with lots of these oodies ☺️

Oh crikey @christmaslist78 and @Treeforme, this is tense and exciting! We have had similar circs in our family with ASD and finding-the-right-thing in time.

There are none of the right oodies anywhere near me, but I’ll check a bit further afield just in case.

I can be of no use (checked all my local Asdas and no stock anywhere in the SW) but following this thread and desperately hoping one of these very kind people will be able to source you some. Lovely to see some kindness on Mumsnet for a change!

I was going to suggest this. But those are cotton hoodies not oodies. They are very cheap though, so a back up plan worth trying.

Also, you could try and get hold of a giant soft red fleecy oodie and then get an embroidery company like this to sew the image on for you. Just send them a clear photo of the Asda one.

There are some in Wembley, Park Royal and Old Kent Road if anyone is near one of these

My autistic son was obsessed with Nyan cat one year (the cartoon cat whose body is a pop tart) He begged and begged for a knitted scarf of him. I couldn't find one anywhere and asked on here. A lovely MNetter knitted a beautiful one and sent it to us. Wouldn't even let me pay. He was so thrilled. He's grown up and grown out of it now, but I still have the scarf and every time I open the cupboard to get out scarves or gloves in winter, I see it and remember her. I keep it on the off-chance some other child gets a similar obsession. I want to pass it on to someone who'd appreciate it.
