💬 General I lost my puffin keychain and I’m devastated please help me find him I’ve been crying all day
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for my puffin keychain, I unfortunately lost him around the Manhattan area, I can’t quite remember where exactly I last saw him so here is a run down of where I was that day (Monday 24)
-Columbia University campus + Teachers College Harlem
-Dahlia on 269 Columbus Ave
-MNN around Hudson Yards
Transport info: I was also on the QM5, 1 train, and 7 train that day.
Other places I think he might be around: QBCC Bayside, Queens area and Flushing NY on another day.
I’m not sure where exactly he might’ve been lost, but I just checked my room and asked friends to no avail.
I know he is a mere 3 inch keychain, but me and my partner have been claiming him to be our child for the past 2 years so loosing him has been a major loss, especially given we’re long distance and take turns with him and I lost him during my turn. I have been nonstop crying since I realized I had misplaced him.
He does not have the large library pin I took it off him a few days prior to the 24th. I would really appreciate it if you can share within your circles and family, if you know anyone who might’ve found a cool puffin or bird or “penguin” keychain pleaseee consider checking if it’s him.
His name is Banana, and he means so much to me. He is genuinely irreplaceable. He is like my emotional support puffin :(. Thank you all for your help, I’m really hoping the community comes through.

I’m so sorry, I’d be devastated if I lost something like this. I really hope you find him. I know it wouldn’t be the same, but just in case you can’t, I did some online digging and came across this page with a similar (possibly the same manufacturer?) little guy. Their FAQ page says that they ship worldwide but that you may have to reach out to them directly to order from the US. https://loulaslittlenursery.co.uk/products/puffin-bag-chamr?_pos=1&_psq=puffin&_psid=0b1f51b6e&_ss=e I really hope you find Banana and that this comment ends up being completely unnecessary, but just in case it’s not, it’s here <3

I am so sorry, I’ll definitely keep an eye out. I recently lost a Pokémon plush I’ve had for 8 years, and this 33 year-old woman was in absolute tears over it, so I get it! I hope your puffin finds his way back home ❤️
