Not even a day and my Hair-Raising Hare ornament broke already. Two of the legs on the table got hit by my portable TV that fell on it. I have all the pieces but they are really tiny, aside from the legs they're are very tiny bits around it that broke off. Is there any way I can bring it back to the store and get a replacement or a good way I can fix it any make it look seamless?

One of the ones I examined today was already broken in the box- same thing- the leg on the table was broken... It was a pretty break and nothing even fell on it  Good luck with yours... sorry I do not have a better answer to your question

Well, I figured that since the ornament is new still, I'm going to sell it on eBay and go to a Hallmark during the week and use the replacement money to buy a new Hair-Raising Hare ornament. It's just too frustrating to try and fix those tiny bits and I want a pristine one to surprise my dad with when I come home to visit next weekend (he loves Gossamer).

E-6000 applied to both surfaces of a clean break with a toothpick often works well, but if small pieces splintered I'd repurchase the ornament.
If you invest in a tube of E-6000 - (cost is about $6) - be sure to read and understand the instructions first. Use in well-ventilated area. Apply a thin coat to both surfaces THEN wait 2-10 minutes THEN press together. Temperature range needed is 50 to 90 degrees F but 70 to 90 degrees F is better for the cure time rate. According to the instructions, 1 to 3 days are needed for the glue to cure. I've been told a week is better (but have never been that patient).
Prior to gluing, I practice how I will attach and hold the two pieces until I feel I have a good holding strategy, preferably without bonding myself to the ornament. And I also think through how I will lay the ornament down after I have glued and held it briefly. Storing the ornament on a shelf in an unused room until the glue has had the time it needs to cure has worked well for me.
Good luck,
Lisa
