I am in desperate need of assistance in finding a replacement for my son’s “huggie” (security blanket). It is a green camouflage print. One side is a soft “fuzzy” green camo material, and the other side is plain green satin. The satin runs up over the edges onto the other side a little bit. It is made by Koala Baby, which only sold the blankie @ Babies R Us.

My son’s “back up huggie” was either blankie-napped or it ran away. (aka. We lost it.) When my daughter was young, she was attached to a huggie, as well. Therefore, when it came to my son’s huggie, I decided to keep a back-up around for when the other was in the wash, or when we needed one in a moment of crisis. That way we didn’t have to run around crazy looking for it. We could just grab the back up. However, now the back up is gone, and the remaining huggie goes though the ringer day after day and hasn’t had a date with the washing machine in ages. (I’m afraid of what will happen to it. My sewing skills are atrocious. Plus, he won’t let go of it long enough for us to wash it.)

Since Koala Baby discontinued this camo security blanket, I’ve been on a mission. My son just turned 2. He was many “huggie loving” years left, and his current huggie’s life span will be coming to an end in the near future. I’m just trying to be as prepared as I can be when that time comes by trying to secure another back up. However, it’s seeming impossible.

My son is such a good boy! He deserves to have the security of his huggie. So whatever I can do to find it for him, I’m going to do it!! Thanks again, Rosemary, for this great site. I’m sorry for such a lengthy description. I’m just desperately seeking to put a smile on my baby boy’s face.

I have searched everywhere to no avail. I have, however, found it on Amazon for $59.00. (It has been discontinued and was last listed for $4.99 at Babies R Us.)

Thanks,

Tanya

I am looking for a tan stuffed dog. It is a Circo brand, and was sold at Target in the Fall of 2009. It is in a sitting position with its head tilted to the left, and the fur looks “messy.” The animal is about 10 inches tall.

My daughter was given this dog as a gift from a dear friend. This is the first toy she has become attached to. She’s too young to talk much, but whenever she sees her dog, she runs to it and yells “woof woof!” and gives it a hug. If I put her in her crib without him, she just looks at me and says, “Woof Woof.”

Target has discontinued this dog, and I’ve tried eBay with no luck. We really want to find another “Woof Woof” as a back up, in case this one is lost or wears out.

Thank you!

Erica

I’m looking for a Baby GUND small 9 inch pink chenille bear that is embroidered with MY FIRST TEDDY on its chest, and it is wearing a pink satin bow.

My daughter had it (and slept with it) for about 5 years, and it was lost somewhere between getting off the plane in Paris and getting to baggage reclaim. I don’t know if you’ve ever been to Charles de Gaulle airport, but it’s endless buses and ramps and you can imagine the impossibility of going back to look.

The bear was called Binnie, and, although pink, it was a boy. This all happened several months ago, and although we’re certain Binnie is having a fabulous time flying the world, it’s really time he came home.

I’m sure one will turn up on eBay at some point, so if you do hear of one, please let me know.

Thanks,

Alison

My name is Simone, and I’m from Brazil. I’m looking for a Fisher Price 1994 No. 6841-6844 Puffalump XL BIG THINGS hot pink and teal elephant. It’s 28 inches long, 11 inches wide, and about 18 inches tall.

My daughter has had this elephant since she was 2 years old. She really sleeps with the pink elephant every night. Now she’s completing 18 years, so you can imagine how the elephant is!!

I’d like to make a surprise on her 18th birthday and present her with a new “Big Thing”. At this moment she’s living in Vancouver, Canada, and I’m writing from Brazil. What should I do to buy a Big Things animal from here, by internet, and deliver it in Vancouver?

Please, this is very important to me! I’d really appreciate if you could help me.

Thank you for the attention!

I’m looking for this little 2008 Carter’s Just One Year monkey that has a cream face, ears, bottoms of the feet, and tummy.

My little grand daughter calls him “Peach”, and we are looking for a replacement now, so we don’t get caught if she loses it.

Thanks for your help with this.

I am looking for information about a stuffed baby doll in a pink bunting pajama set. The face is soft rubber, and the flap on the pajamas unsnaps and show a soft rubber butt. It is in a crawling position and measures about 18 inches long and 8 inches tall.

I found it hanging on the wall in a TGI Fridays about ten years ago. I had to remove it from the wall to make room for a big screen TV that my employer wanted put up, and he said I could keep the doll. My wife and I are 68 years old and soon will be married 50 years.

My wife thinks the world of it. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Frankie and Alice

I am looking for a plush dog, maybe named Floppy. He is brown and has ears and tail made from, I think, real fur. He would have been made in the 70’s. He is about 12 inches long with a pom pom type nose and plastic eyes. You will see the white fur on his tail, ears, and patch on his head that my grandmother “fixed”. He feels like he’s filled with crushed something like nutshells.

He was my sister’s favorite stuffed animal, and the fur on his ears and tail wore off. My grandmother “fixed” him while we were young with white fleece! He looked horrible. I want her to have a “new” one, so she can remember him as he was, and fondly remember our grandmother for doing her best to make it all better.

I am so grateful for any help finding another one. Johanna’s 35th birthday is in June, and I thought this would be a wonderful surprise!!

Thanks,

Jessica

I”m looking for an Eden white bear wearing a red outfit with yellow polka dots OR a white velour clown in red polka dot bow tie and striped hat.

My daughter has had an Eden bear or clown since she was born and still has to have it on her bed. Many of these toys have “gone to dolly heaven”, and the one she has now is very threadbare (no pun intended). She is 18 very soon and I have been trying to find her a replacement as a surprise as she loves her “comforters” still very much.

Thanks,

Keeley

I’m looking for a RUSS white bear clown named HAPPY. It was wearing a half red and half red stripe costume, with a blue ruffle collar and matching hat. The bear was about 14-16 inches big.

My son (who is 19 now) got this bear as a baby. He loved that bear, and it was his security item. Somehow, the bear got put away with other stuffed animals and was never seen again. We must have given away that bag (had many bags of stuffed animals). Do you have any idea where I could get one like it? The last time I saw a new one was 14 years ago at a gift shop near Disney World. I would really like to buy another one and give it to him as a gift.

Any help would be really great!

Thanks,

Deb

I have been looking for a Carter’s Baby small pink bear wearing a butterfly print knit sleeper and white velour bear slippers. It has a rattle.

My daughter has had that bear since she was 4 months old, and when he finally turned into a rag with no shape or color and the rattle no longer worked, we tried to break her of him. But it has not worked, so we want to find a new one. She is almost six, but that bear has been so important to her…and to us – it’s been part of the family for so long.

HELP!
