"All I want for Xmas is a dinosaur scarf"

[florenceuk]

So says DS. When I expressed doubt as to availability, he said, "Just write it in the letter to Father Xmas." Any ideas - mail order not really an option at this stage!

next usually have dinosaurs on everything (or monkeys, I think they alternate it)

sew on a dinosaur patch? fabric paints?

I could be wrong but maybe Monsoon/Accesorise. Definitely crocodile scarfs.

GAP did lots of things with dinosaurs.

DS would love one too!

Just checked the Monsoon website and they have a dragon scarf!

Would that be any good? It is £15.

Thanks Collision - I will see if I can get it in my local Accessorize! Dragon one would probably go perfectly with the foam swords I have bought as well (DD has a mini one to defend herself).

Yes! the Kings Rd branch has lots in stock, so I will go there tomorrow lunchtime. Thanks Collision!

The Natural History Museum shop has dinosaurs on everything - though I'm not sure if I've seen a scarf. But you could give them a call?

Glad to be of help!!

We are going to the NH Museum in January....ds will prob want to buy everything if there are dinos on it!

My ds wanted Noah's ark animals for christmas as extras for his Noah's Ark. I inventively tracked down two bags of little animals - farm and jungle - and felt v please. Today he is wittering to my friend, 'Father Christmas is going to bring me Noah's Ark animals! Ones I haven't got, like a shark and a cat and a wolf.."

Oh f888!

Where could I get dinosaur fleece? John Lewis? I can do Peter Jones at lunchtime??

Tesco have been doing dino fleeces and Gap often do things like this too.

They do get some funny ideas. Last year, he decided he wanted a "hairy jumping spider".

Luckily, I had bought a hairy jumping spider, from Hawkins.

Well, the end of the story - DH went to Monsoon in his lunchtime and bought a crocodile scarf as IHO they were nicer. Actually it is cute, hope DS finds it acceptable!

Mine has been asking Father Christmas for 'just a roll of stippy (sic) tape, please'.

The Santas have all been barely able to conceal their sniggers.

I have wrapped up a roll of sticky tape, and now fear for the state of the house. Everything will be wrapped in it.

I've developed a yen for playdough... for myself. Hope DH takes the hint...

If all else fails I was going to suggest appliqueing a felt dino shape onto an ordinary scarf - would be v easy...

Can i try and knit a dinosaur scarf for him if he doesn't find the croc acceptable?

Giraffe, I would love you to knit a dinosaur scarf - just to see what it looked like! I am a crap knitter, I only knit when pregnant and then never finish them.

Normally I would be up to searching out dinosaur fleece and shapes etc but at this time of year I just don't have the time or energy. However after a bit of softening up (and detailed interrogations as to exactly what Santa may or may not have said about stock availability) I think we may get away with it.

How old is he?
CAT me your address and i will knit one for him if you like - any colour preferences?

Giraffe.... do you remember LadyTophamHats stickytape wrapped table and chairs.... snigger.

that will be my house after Sunday.

Dp wanted to give her duct tape but i thought less damage could be done with ordinary stuff.
