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 Kawaii Gift Wraps

So you have worked hard to find that perfect gift for your family and friends, now how to wrap them?

Wrapping paper is the equivalent to that cherry on top of an ice cream sundae, it just makes it that much more special. A good quality paper, with a gorgeous design is going to heighten the pleasure of both giving and receiving gifts.

With 1000's of designs available, and almost everywhere selling rolls of the stuff this time of year, it can get a little over whelming when picking the one you like most, only to walk into the next store and like theirs even more... skip to the night before Christmas, whilst your sat surrounded by over 50 rolls and not having a clue which to finally use, or is that just me?

I always over buy, I can't buy enough cute wrap. It being so inexpensive really doesn't help. I can confidently say at least 20% of my spend during winter is on gift wraps, none of which is saved for the following year. I'm so wasteful 😓

This time I'm thinking more carefully on the one choose, I've got it narrowed to these 5.



Christmas Characters

I love Tofu Cute, their characters are too cute for words.

This festive wrap is full of their designs. Gold paper adds that extra touch of festive charm.

You get 2 sheets of wrap and matching gift tags too. 

Anyone would be lucky to receive their gift in this wrap, they also have some amazing gift ideas too, just in case you have yet to find that perfect present.

Get it from Tofu Cute for £2.50

Pastel Alpaca Skies

Another great choice from Tofu Cute, is this Alpaca print. Still featuring some of their other cute characters. 

This one is my personal favorite for our pastel festivities, all our gifts will look fabulous under our tree this year.

As this hasn't got any actual Christmas features this is a fabulous wrap for any gift, no matter the occasion.

Again with this design you receive 2 sheets of paper and matching gift tags.

Get it from Tofu Cute for £2.50


Unicorn Wrapping Paper 

This charming Unicorn design is currently available from M&S. 

Frolicking across a starry night sky, this wrap still gives off a Christmas feel, without being overly Christmas that is, so it could be used for all types of gifts. 

The pack contains two sheets and 2 gift tags.

Get it here from Marks & Spencers for £1



Hello Kitty Wrap

Hello Kitty looks so sweet in her winter coat.

This blue paper is filled with pastel snow flakes, Hello Kitty with her skates, in her skates, and look how adorable My Melody looks a the side of her.

Actually printed in 2005, this sheet is vintage. Sadly it doesn't come with tags and has only 1 sheet.

This is definitely a paper to gift that special someone. Ideally an Hello Kitty fan who can appreciate your choice, and not just tear it straight up.

Get it from Etsy for £5.30

Cookie Gingerbread

I love the design of this fun wrap. Those happy little gingerbread men and women are so kawaii!

With a pale blue candy stripe, and complimenting heart and star cookies, your gifts will look amazing wrapped in this paper.

Each pack comes with 2 sheets of wrap, 2 matching tags and as a bonus you also receive 2  matching stickers. 

Get them at Not on the high street for £4



Bonus Featurette :

FREE PRINTABLE GIFT WRAP

So whilst I was searching wrap, I came across a blog called Bespoke Bride, and they are currently allowing you to download and use this amazing wrap for your gifts this year.

As you need to print it off yourself, it will mean a restriction on the size of items you could wrap. 

Would be fantastic for all those stocking fillers though.

With 4 different colours to print off, what are you waiting around for?

Do you put a lot of thought into wrapping your gifts?
Do you open your presents carefully or tear straight in?

Top 5 - PJ's to snuggle in

The best part of winter, is the early nights. No matter what time you get home, it is perfectly acceptable to stick on your pjs and get snuggled in front of the fire, before hibernating for the rest of the day.

Not only do they keep you warm, but it's far more relaxing to be in pj's, but why shouldn't they be super kawaii too?

Here are our top 5 must own pj's to keep you cosy this winter



Find it on Ebay for £41.53
My Melody Kigurumi  

Kigurumi's commonly known in the UK as onesies, are  a great way to show of your fun side, whilst keeping you super toastie warm. 

Typically made of fleece, it effectively turns you into a life sized plushie. Who wouldn't want to snuggle with a plushie on a cold night?
 
We love this one, Sanrio are the geniuses behind some of the best known and most loved characters, My Melody being of no exception.



Find it on Ebay for $14.09
Unicorn Kigurumis

OK so we really love Kigurumi's! 

These unicorns are super fun, they even have fluffy tails, and better yet I can fit in one!

I am going to treat myself this winter, and get every colour option as I currently only own the pink. 

We should all wear one and start an invasion! I would love to see Unicorn army's filling the worlds high streets.


Find it at asiancute.storenvy.com for $43
Rabbit eared pajamas 

The only downside to the Kigurumi's is having to undress to go potty, a great alternative is this adorable fleeced bunny set. 

You get the top, shorts and footsie's so you don't have to go through all that undressing at 3 in the morning when you just really want to pee

Dumbo Pajamas

Not quite cold enough for all that fleece, why not opt for these super cute Dumbo Pj's ?  

With the pastel blue and pink spots, these are sure to have you looking all adorable.  

The long legs and loose fit will ensure you're comfortable, and you could always add a dressing gown when you start to feel a chill.

Find them at character.com for £14.95




Find it on Ebay for $3.83
Cartoon Night Dresses

We appreciate that not everyone likes to sleep in pajamas, some prefer to wear nighties instead. 

There is a great choice available, from the sweet baby-doll style with all its lace and elegant trims, to the simple yet comfortable night dress such as this one. 

It's fun design and bold colours are certainly kawaii.Though I'm not sure it would keep you very warm, definitely recommend a dressing gown with this one.
