hippo?

with the recent addition to a friends family, i decided that a present was in order. i love giving presents but this time its for a real reason!
my thought - a hippo! hippo's are cool, everyone loves a hippo. But you know what? Hardly anyone makes hippo soft toys! why?!
after spending the last 30 mins looking at every possible kids soft toy website I've got nothing! I wouldn't normally care, to get worked up about a hippo seems a little ludicrous but now I just need a hippo. it's in me now. i wont be happy till i get a hippo! I couldn't care if the child pucks all over it and it has to be thrown out the next day - i just need a hipp; it's become a challenge.
