To harness the power of Mumsnet to make a little girl's Christmas...

[Bicnod]

Posting here for traffic because I am clearly not BU

My friend's DD has lost her beloved Floffel. Floffel is her seal cuddly toy from babyhood and will never be found again as Floffel was lost overseas.

Friend's DD has written to Father Christmas asking for Floffel back. Nothing else on the list - just Floffel.

They don't effing make Floffel anymore

Friend's DD as been through the wringer lately - can't go into details as would be outing but suffice to say she could really really do with a boost.

Please please please wonderful people of Mumsnet - if you happen to have an Aurora Naturally seal like the one in the photo hanging around your house (it's flannel not plush apparently and has the word 'naturally' on its bum) that you'd be willing to sell/give away it would truly honestly make this little girl's Christmas.

TIA

Grinning big here.. So happy Floffel is home again safely.

My eyes are leaking slightly, what a great ending.

Am I the only one who hasn't seen an update?

We are just going to bed, pressies ready, floffle in a treasure chest awaiting his cuddles.

Was quite a tricky bedtime as little girl was crying again for her floffle as she said it's her last chance to get him back 😰, I nearly caved to return him there and then but I want to keep the magic alive so he will return tomorrow and I will update you then.

Thank you again bonkerz and bicnod from the bottom of my heart. You have saved Christmas here chez floffle. I've had two gins and I'm feeling very emotional xx

Just a quick message to say she is so so happy, she cried tears of happiness and shrieked his name over and over when she saw him 😍.

I'll try and post a pic or two later but for now merry flofflemas everyone!

• last line should be italics too - that was end of Flofelmama's post not me.

I'm not crying. It's just that my eyes sweat a lot, what with the central heating being turned up and everything . . . .

Aah, that's what it is. Thanks SchadenfreudePersonified

Yay!

Great news!!!!

That is what I wanted to hear; a great update!

That's the sweetest thing ever!! ❤️❤️❤️

What a lovely ending. So glad the elves managed to locate Floofle

There is nothing beyond the capabilities of The Elven Horde.

NOTHING!

I still keep checking this thread in the hope of a Floffel reunion photo....

Me too Tinsel

I would like one, too but I can understand if her parents would prefer her not to be shown on a public thread.

I just comfort myself with imagining her little thrilled face . . .

If you need a fix of children reunited with toys A Little Blue Cup can help you. The site is dedicated to reuniting children with Autism with items that they have lost/have worn out that affect their autism (refusing to drink out of anything other than a little blue cup for example).

Get the Kleenex ready before you start watching though.

They have their own You Tube Channel with kids being reunited.
