我十岁的版本y difficult about Christmas and has said several times there is nothing she wants for Christmas. She has spent a lot of time looking for ideas but found nothing.

She has just bounced in super excited and said she can't wait for Christmas as she won't feel so cold if she gets the hot water bottle she has asked for...

About a month ago she mentioned she quite liked this hot water bottle in M&Swww.marksandspencer.com/harry-potter-hedwig-hot-water-bottle/p/clp60516055I asked at the time is that something you'd like for Christmas and she was non-committal. I've realised now that's because she wanted an element of surprise.

I've fessed up and told her I didn't get it for her and as she didn't do a list for Santa he won't have got it either (pretty sure she doesn't believe but plays along for her younger sibling). I can see the disappointment all over her face and she has quietly gone off to watch a Harry Potter film.

It's out of stock everywhere, but Bromley (and I've been through tons and tons of stores). Is there anyone local who would buy it and send it to me Royal Mail Special Delivery? I will of course cover all costs by BACS transfer or PayPal (friends and family).

I'm desperate to get it for her. Typically she hasn't made it easy!

I’m not near enough but they also seem to have one in stock in Camberley if that helps

I can't help, but it's also showing in stock for Croydon and Fosse Park, in case others are able to help.

Also Marble Arch (Oxford Street) has 18 in stock, in case anyone on here is in London.smile

Thank you - I just went to check on her and she was having a little cry saying she is worried about Christmas as we've obviously got her surprise presents and she is nervous about it.

I should add we suspect SN and are currently working through a potential diagnosis with the school. She is very gifted academically but very black and white and get's very upset at Christmas and birthdays. I feel awful I completely misread this and failed to get it for her.

Really really hope somebody can help!

There's one showing in stock in worcester. I'm there tomorrow and will grab it if it's still there and put it on the thread. It's lovely so even if someone gets one before me I know who I can give it to

I wish I’d seen this earlier as I saw one today!
Silver link and Newcastle both have them

Thank you@CottonSockI did show her that one earlier as it is available in Argos too but it isn't the fluffy one and she wasn't keen on it. She thinks there is no way to get the one she wanted now as I showed her it was out of stock (to avoid her getting her hopes up). I hope there is.

LefttoherownDevizes Mon 20-Dec-21 16:06:26

I'll be going to CROYDON m&s next couple of days so DM me tomorrow if you still need one

bearlyactive Mon 20-Dec-21 16:06:35

There's three in London Colney if anyone's near there (I'm not, my nearest proper M&S is 45 minutes away, sorry)

MajesticElephant Mon 20-Dec-21 16:25:32

They are in stock in Cheshunt and Welwyn Garden City

Lacedwithgrace Mon 20-Dec-21 16:26:06

Argos have them in toohere

Lacedwithgrace Mon 20-Dec-21 16:27:06

sorry, they're not exactly the same but might do if you get stuck

WhatAboutDessert Mon 20-Dec-21 16:31:46

Thanks@LacedwithgraceI had seen those and shown them to her but they aren't right, she isn't keen on that one - would have made my life much easier!

I'm hopeful that as several stores seem to have a few in stock that somebody can help. Maybe I need to get the thread title changed?

None within an hours drive of me though.

Is there an M&S food store near you,OP? You might be able to order it online to collect.

SE13Mummy Mon 20-Dec-21 17:07:41

Has anyone been able to get hold of one for you yet? I'm not far from Bromley and could go and get one for you now to post in the morning?

Luredbyapomegranate Mon 20-Dec-21 17:10:47

PM me if the one above doesn’t turn up, I can pop down to Marble Arch tomorrow -

PriamFarrl Mon 20-Dec-21 17:24:23

None near me but now overly invested in this thread.

Thefuturestory Mon 20-Dec-21 17:37:14

I think if the Marble Arch has 18 and Worcester only has one more chance@Luredbyapomegranatecould get it and pop in post ( last day tomorrow for 1st class I think)

maxineputyourredshoeson Mon 20-Dec-21 17:42:05

Unfortunately none by me or I would have hot DH to grab one whilst he’s in M&S tomorrow. I hope you manage to get one OP花

BarkminsterBlue Mon 20-Dec-21 17:45:33

I’d be delighted to help if I were local but sadly I’m miles away. Have you tried ringing the store? They might be able to take payment over the phone and arrange delivery to you or your local store.
