I spend all my childhood carrying a giraffe ,I got it as a present when I was like 1 and living in Paris ...... Was probably my favourite toy as I wasn't the girl who played with dolls or barbies.
I don't really remember the day I lost it, my mom said to me that I was sad for weeks and that they never found one like that again.
I told the story to a friend of mine from work ,and she found one and bought it for me on my birthday.I am so happy : )
