I thought there might be others like me looking for hard-to-find gifts that someone else on the forum could help locate. So feel free to post your own "wanted" item in case someone knows where to find it!

My sister mentioned these house shoes/slippers that she loved and suspects her DH threw them away because he hated them... I thought it would be a funny side-gift item. Problem is they're very specific and I can't find them anywhere. She described them as looking like a mop... I've found, furry, fuzzy, fluffy, puffy, and everything else, just not mop!!!

LOL! I saw those in my search, too. I think they were more like your standard fuzzy slippers, only shaggy with mop-like material instead of fur.

Can you imagine trying to mop your kitchen floor with those???

Shaggy Slippers

I saw those, too. Not quite what she was talking about but I'm looking for something similar to use as a substitute in case I can't find what she wants. I just hate the idea of paying $39 for a gag gift, especially when it's not quite what she wanted!

Thanks for continuing to help me look. I thought for sure we'd find 'em by now!

I think I know the type you mean! Are they like normal mule slippers with a flat padded sole and the top (round your toes) are like a mop (or some bath mats)?

I'm saw some over the weekend, but can't - for the life of me - think where!! It may have been Asda?!! I'll get my thinking (and google) cap on for you!


I'm almost positive that I've seen them in Muji too!

Pretty cool... I wish the knap was a little longer, still debating on paying much more than $10 or so for this gag gift... but if I can make myself, it's a great alternative!! THANKS!!!
