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

I’m hoping she gets two! It will be like the John Lewis ad. (It’s real love, it’s real LOVE)

What a great thread! It has everything.

Thank you thank you thank you all of you

What a bloody nest of vipers eh?!

Good luck!!!

Ah fingers crossed. So sad reading that letter :( x

Waiting to hear good news either from Germany or the charity shop!

Fingers crossed for you!!! Hoping this turns out well xx

Fingers crossed it will al be sorted by tomorrow. There are three promising leads to follow.

Spanish section of International Seal Rescue standing down for the night. I will check in tomorrow to see if I am needed.

Oh what intense thread! I really hope Floffle is found safe and well.

They open at 9am. I'll be there by 9.15.

Awwwww this thread is adorable

Good luck OP!

Sure this will have a happy outcome soon.
Love that we have all been sat frantically searching for it
For what it's worth, i have fb messaged stuffed safari in US

Really hope one of the leads comes good! Bless her little heart she'll be thrilled. True magic of Christmas and mumsnet!

How lovely of immeme

Couldn't understand why the thread had died.

It hadn't just gone onto another page.

Have you got it? Have you got it?

Still haven't had my dinner yet because I am so interested in seeing this work out.

Errrm, OP I googled 'floffel' to see if any were on EBay and got this !!

Maybe Mr Seal needs a name change??

@BrizzleDrizzle -

Haven't RTFT but has anyone suggested Facebook pages:
Lostbox
and
Little Blue Cup?

German website has a note on that they're not posting non-carnival items till after carnival now. Seems a bit dodgy tbh - why would a site selling toys not do Xmas sales? Hope your friend manages, but wouldn't bank on that option
