Both of my kids had comforters my daughter had a blanket from GAP which she still wont sleep without and she is now 11 and it is pretty raggy, we cant wash it through fear of completely falling apart. My son had a clown that he dragged every where with him, the voice box stopped working, we stitched it back together lots of times he really loved it. Now it lives in a box in the loft with those other items that make you remember. Put up some missing posters around near where you think you lost it perhaps.
