I don't think it's any of those. Very similar though.

Hideous pouffee
Looks like something you buy in a hippy-dippy shop that sells incense sticks and tie dye bags.

I would offer to buy them something more tasteful!

Maybe it's unique and came from ebay . Let's hope not. I guess it's certainly uniquely fragranced now .

Maybe it can't be traced because it is a bespoke pouffe?

Neighbour is lovely oldish lady. It was a German-sounding man's name on the postal label though. From what I could tell, but it was poo-encrusted and I've thrown it out now.

May have to throw myself on her mercy tomorrow.

Do you have the packaging label on the outer? Does it have a tracking number on which might tell you the origin?

you could buy this one instead - it's actually stool shaped. [unhelpful smiley]

How well do they know you and dd. Any chance at all of getting away with an explanation that she "unwrapped" it by accident? Surely the shit must come off>? Speaking as someone who tonight scrubbed cat sick out of the doormat....

Porto.You can't give someone a pouffe which has been covered in excrement! No matter how ugly it is or how well it's been cleaned.

I don't see what the problem is with being honest about this? It's a crappy thing to have happen (no pun intended) but you didn't intend it to happen and as long as you replace it or compensate her I'm sure she will be absolutely nice about it. There is no way you can give somebody an item of furniture that you've scraped poo out of! Her grandchildren might be lying on it and licking it next week. You've just got to take the hit. Maybe it is ebay and she got it for a tenner

The shit has come off- but I think there will be water damage.

Neighbour knows that dd is a bit of a handful. Have never had to mention the poo before now though.
