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

Hooooorayyyy

Aww I adore threads like this! Really shows that, even with all the crap going on in the world at the moment, there are still lots of amazing, kind people out there!

Oh squeeeee

Ahhhh

Floffle made my eyes go all leaky

lovely thread.

What a,rollercoaster!

This is so lovely! ImMeMe you should probably still go to the charity shop just in case a backup is required, I don't think OP can go through this emotional rollercoaster if Floffle decides to go on another mini break.

Now, what will Floffle's back story be?

He's got to have been helping elves, surely. Maybe someone dropped a present in the sea so he gave an elf a ride to retrieve it?

I've just read the thread and cried!

Eeeek!

"Am I standing down do you think or does she need 2 floffels?"

Don't stand down, ImMeMe. How good would it be if Floffel hadn't been lost, but had gone to rescue her twin sister, missing since birth.

This thread is so lovely. Well done all you wonderful mumsnetters!

What a gorgeous thread. Well done! Can't wait to read the OP's reaction.

Oh my goodness!!! How lovely!! @Bonkerz

Aww! First thing I did this morning was to make a cup of tea and sit down to read the updates.

Well done bonkerz! Your LO won´t mind?

Welshmaed - gorgeous photo.

Can´t wait for OP!

How lovely, we'll done Bonkerz

Found one on eBay if they wanted a back up- seal found!

@tissuesosoft that’s not the same one that’s the plush version (read the thread)

OP please can we have a photo or/ and update on xmas day when the little girl sees Santa made her one wish come true!!?

Wow this actually brought a tear to my eye. Well done @Bonkerz x

Unashamedly place marking!

I have tears in my eyes. How lovely. Hope Floffel has a safe trip home.

Just beautiful. Love that floffle has been off finding a mate!!

Bonkerz you superstar!!!
