Tessa the Duchess Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Ok, wonder if anyone can help. I am looking to buy one of those toys that are a hinged woodpecker on a stand, you place it by a glass of water and dip its beak in the water and then it just goes on bobbing up and down for ever or at least until the water runs out, works by evaporation I think. My DH had one as a child and has a yen for another, good stocking filler gift I have googled with no luck, anyone seen one for sale lately or even know what I am talking about?

Tessa the Duchess Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 You guys are good that is it EGGSACTLY. Of course my problem now is that I can't 'do' E.bay I don't understand how to bid or buy something and as for selling something but I do have a friend that is an e.bayer so I will ask her. I doubt I'll bother to google for stuff again, I will just ask this forum Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some great gimmicky stuff & do these woodpecker thingys Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Thanks to you both for the UK ones, a bit pricey compared to e.bay but a lot easier for me to buy. You are all so good at finding things online Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I remember these - might get one for wee Anna On the lazybone site click on 'new arrivals' and scroll down to the Mr P lamp - very funny...was going to post a link but it would probably get 'modded' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
