Im hoping some of you wonderful people can help me out. My son has lost his Reindeer beanie toy, available only from ASDA. He is totally heartbroken as he had given it a name and whole personality. Ive tried my local branches but they dont have one, so Im hoping that if anyone is shopping in ASDA they would have a look for me.

Its by cuddle crew/mini friends. Not very big, about adult palm size, is wearing a scarf and costs only a couple of £. Id be eternally grateful if anyone finds one as hes been so upset, we are trying to replace it for him.

Of course I will send you the money and postage costs straight away.

many thanks

Nothing doing here....although it may be that it's only been offered in the Asdas in your area.

We found that with Sainsburys, specials advertised in the paper were only available in certain stores (small print)

No consolation I know.

Hope someone comes up with it.

Have you searched Amazon for "Reindeer Toy"? There is quite a selection (some with scarves), so maybe there is a close match there.

I'm with qb. Lucy's son isn't the only one restless. Hope someone finds one or that it's available on-line. My son had a blankie & the 1st blankie got left somewhere & we could NOT find another one even close.....quite a few sleepless nights with the 18mo old. Luckily he found a new blankie.......he gave it up when he was 6......& I have it amongst MY keepsakes. I had a Cookie Monster stuffy with a wind up music box in it. Funny how we tend to attach ourselves to those security things as little ones. Best of luck! :D

What do you mean as little ones? I still have my toy duck that comes everywhere with me!

I sunk as low as asking one of the assistants if they might have some in the back somewhere. I don't know if they just hid for half an hour but they looked ever so disappointed when they said they couldn't find anything. :( I have however got everyone at work looking (including one chap who "nipped in" to an Asda that he spotted on his way to site.

Still looking.

We're all too soft these days! Does reading this thread and agreeing whole-heartedly with Pwuff make me a bad person? The boy has lost his toy? He'll learn to take better care of the next one!
