Top 5 stocking fillers for Unicorn lovers

Anyone who knows me on a personal level, knows I have a massive love for all things Unicorn. 

It would seem I'm not the only one, with almost every high street shop now stocking Unicorn goodies, as well as all those small business, who don't get the recognition they deserve I may add, it seems there is many more Unicorn lovers out there this Christmas. 

It can be hard to decide upon the perfect stocking filler as there is such a huge variety, but here you will find my top 5 of all things Unicorn. Intended as stocking fillers, all can be purchased for under £10. They also make thoughtful gifts for friends if your shopping on a budget. 



I Don't Believe In Humans Mug

I was lucky enough to have received this mug already, a gift from my amazing sister, and I haven't stopped using it yet!

It is both dishwasher & microwave safe.
Mine has been in the dishwasher quite a few times already without any damage to the design.

Get it from Ebay at £7.99

Get it from TokiDoki for $8
Unicorno Series 4 Blind Box

Designed by the renowned Tokidoki, Unicorno's are adorable little Unicorn characters, each with their own unique look.

With 12 different characters to collect in this series alone,  it's unlikely you're going to get them a repeat. Though as they're bought blind you loose your ability to choose, but that just adds to the excitement. 

Get it from Sakura Sparkles for £8
Unicorn Bag 

A high quality bag is designed by the amazing Tia of Sakura Sparkles. This character aptly named Candycorn, is a gorgeous Unicorn with a mane filled with candy treats.

What a lovely gift for anybody this Christmas, they could use it to store cosmetics, stationery, at 9x6inch they're sure to find a use for this beauty.


Get it from Paperchase for £4.99
Keep Calm colouring book

With all the rush of the holidays, a great gift to help your loved ones get over the stress is this Unicorn colouring book.
With 96 pages, this book will keep them busy well into the new year.

As well as the stunning illustrations, you will find inspiring quotes too. 

Why not get one for yourself too, see how your techniques compare. 


Grow Your Own Unicorn 

Finally on our list, here is something for just a bit of fun.

No exercise required, no grooming, no feeding, this is a great alternative to the real thing.

Simply soak in water and this unicorn can grow up to six times their original size.

A true novelty stocking filler, I know I'll be putting these in a stocking or two. 

Get it on Ebay for £4.49

Top 5 Christmas stockings

Have you not got your stocking yet? Are you fed up with the stocking you've used every year for the past decade? We're in the same boat. We want a stocking which Santa will easily recognize as belonging to us. So the search began.

Whilst searching for the cutest Hello Kitty stocking known to man, we stumbled upon a site called Kess in House. After browsing their extensive catalogue, consisting of 124 pages of Christmas stockings alone... our top 5 list has become totally dominated by them.

The site not only as it's own work, but some amazing artists have paired with them. Almost every print is available on a diverse range of products,that is great for us ... not so much for the bank balance! Nothing is massively too expensive, there is just so much now on the wish list.

Luckily right now there is a sale on though, these amazing stockings are only $12.99

It has taken us a long while to decide which of their great range will hit the top 5 list, believe me when I say they were a great many to ween down to our 5. There is a particular artist on there named Mandie Manzano who does some amazing Disney themed designs that I wish could've made the top list, but sadly her designs were too dark to fit into our aesthetic, but is definitely worth a mention.

Anyways here are the ones that made it to the top.



Goodnight Usagi

First up is this adorable Sailor moon inspired print by the artist Jackie Rose, this is also the one we're going for.

The lavender and magenta work so well together, this will make a great addition to our pastel decor. 


Find it at Kessinhouse here 

My Neighbor

Another design by Jackie Rose, is inspired by Studio Ghiblis classic animation, My Neighbour Totoro. 

There is also a design based on the soot sprites, maybe a great choice for him&hers matching set.

Pastel Diamonds

Next is a design by an artist called Strawberringo, aptly called pastel diamonds, this stocking is perfect for fairykei lovers.
 

It would also fit in well with a Unicorn theme.

Blue On Pink  

This adorable flamingo design is original to Kess. With it's muted colours but fun nature, this would look perfect hung on any ones mantel.  

With a great selection of flamingo decor available this Christmas, I can see this being a very popular choice.

Mr. Rainbow

Last but not least for this top 5, is this adorable rainbow. 

Brighten up your mantel with this super happy kawaii guy. 

He makes me think of hot cocoa with marshmallows, cream and lots of rainbow sprinkles! Which I have to say, is the best kind of cocoa.

Find it at Kessinhouse here
