We all know one – that little girl whose eyes light up at the mention of unicorns. Glitter, rainbows, pastel everything… unicorn fever is real, and honestly ? It’s pretty contagious. So if you’re scratching your head wondering what to buy for a unicorn-obsessed 6 to 10-year-old, you’re in the right place. Here’s a hand-picked list of gifts that’ll make her feel like she’s stepped straight into a fairytale – without falling into the same old clichés.
1. A light-up unicorn plush she can’t stop hugging
Soft ? Check. Magical ? Check. Glows in the dark ? Double check. There’s something about a plush unicorn with built-in LED lights that instantly turns bedtime into a cozy dreamland. We tested one that cycles through soft colors and stays cool to the touch – perfect for winding down without being overstimulating. Plus, batteries are often included (finally !).
2. DIY unicorn slime kit (yes, it’s as messy as it sounds – and worth it)
Okay, it’s not the tidiest gift out there, but kids love it. These kits usually come with glitter, pastel slime bases, and cute charms like mini stars or clouds. It’s creative, it’s squishy, and she’ll be proudly showing off her “galaxy swirl” creation in no time. Just… maybe gift it along with a tablecloth you don’t care too much about.
3. Unicorn onesie : the costume she’ll live in
Forget dress-up boxes – some kids basically become unicorns once they put on that hooded onesie. The ones with tails and little gold horns on top ? They’re a hit. Soft fleece models are great for winter evenings, and some even come with wings (yes, wings !). Bonus : they double as pyjamas and carnival outfit.
4. A magic drawing tablet (with unicorn stencils, obviously)
If she loves to draw – or just doodle endlessly – a reusable LCD writing tablet is a brilliant pick. We found one that came with unicorn stencils and rainbow-color pens that pop on the screen. No mess, no paper waste, and she can draw during car rides without you worrying about melting crayons in the back seat (true story).
5. Personalised unicorn storybook
This one’s more on the sentimental side. Imagine her face when she opens a book where she is the main character – flying through clouds, talking to unicorns, saving magical forests. It’s a keepsake kind of gift, and honestly ? It might even spark a love for reading if that’s been tricky so far.
6. Unicorn bath bombs that fizz, foam, and surprise
Turn bath time into an event. Unicorn-themed bath bombs often come in rainbow colors and reveal little surprises inside (tiny toys, glitter, charms…). Some smell like bubblegum or strawberry cupcakes – and let’s be real, you’ll probably want to try one yourself.
7. A unicorn jewellery-making set
Beads, charms, string – and total focus for a good hour or two. Jewellery kits with a unicorn theme usually include sparkly pieces, pastel tones, and sometimes even glow-in-the-dark beads. It’s the kind of quiet creative activity that feels like play but builds patience and fine motor skills on the sly.
8. A unicorn-themed night light (that isn’t tacky)
Let’s be honest – some unicorn lamps look like they’ve barely survived the 90s. But there are gems out there : soft silicone models that change color when tapped, or wooden ones with cut-out designs that project little stars on the wall. They’re practical, pretty, and way less likely to end up forgotten on a shelf.
Need a quick win ? Here’s what we’d grab last-minute
Still unsure ? Here’s the short version : go for the light-up plush if you want something safe and adorable. The slime kit if you want her jumping up and down with excitement. Or the personalised book for that “wow, this is actually about me !” moment. Whatever you pick, aim for something that feels a bit magical – because that’s the whole point, right ?
Quick tip : Check the age recommendations on the box. Some unicorn toys look perfect but are made for toddlers or tweens, not the sweet spot of 6–10. It makes a difference.
So – ready to spark some unicorn joy ? 🦄
