Unicorns

No idea, they just seem to have been around for years. On a similar theme i keep noticing llamas appearing.
Cards, money boxes jumpers etc.
Is this the next craze?

No idea but they fart rainbows apparently!

My DGD (10) is obsessed with unicorns, llamas and now narwhals , which I am ashamed to admit I thought she’d made up

She is a very happy child with a very active inagination and likes the idea of living in this fantasy world of rainbows and strange and mythical creatures .

I think it’s just the latest craze. It’ll pass.

It’s been a craze for one of ours for three years. When not in school uniform she’s dressed from head to foot in unicorn embellished clothes. Could be worse I guess .

Yes, it’s been about for more than 2 years. Rather unicorns than Barbi. I think there are unicorns in the modern Noddy cartoons from the USA. I wish we didn’t import so much rubbish from there!

Good question and I'd like to know how these fashions get started. Unicorns do seem to be on lots of things.

DGD is into them but has be very clear to make me understand that "Granny Unicorns aren't real".

When I asked her how she knew they weren't real she said "if they were real David Attenborough would have made a program about them".

OK, that's me told :-) I can't fault her logic lol.

Hasn't stopped her wanting Unicorns on her clothes and anything else she can get them on. And as my DD say "we've seen it all before with other fads so this too shall pass".

A few years ago DG2 asked me to knit her a Lady Rainicorn. A sort of Unicorn with a long rainbow striped body. I think it came from a children's tv program.

Britannica.com says

‘Unicorn, mythological animal resembling a horse or a kid with a single horn on its forehead. The unicorn appeared in early Mesopotamian artworks, and it also was referred to in the ancient myths of India and China.’

Sorted. ?Here’s one masquerading as a rhino.

Marketing, I think. As one popular thing dies down, so another takes its place.

As I thought.

I think they're taking over from Frozen.

Our neighbour put up his Christmas lights at the weekend, and a new addition is a very small unicorn.

Don't forget the Lion & the Unicorn nursery rhyme! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lion_and_the_Unicorn

I am puzzled as to what they have to do with Christmas, though. Likewise avocadoes and cactus, which are also in vogue for decorations this year.

My friend is in her 50's and mad about unicorns. She has bedding, slippers, mug, bag and more.
Takes all sorts.

Prefer unicorns to frozen

Let it go, let it go, let it go galen!

Exactly Galen. Anything is better than Frozen!

Whats not to like about Unicorns? Lovely, mythical creatures that do no harm. We need more of them!

Totally agree Iam64 ?

I'm with you there too Iam. I love unicorns

frozen is very much gone now in my charity shop we get loads of stuff from it noone buys. ive always collected unicorns love them at the moment pineapples and unicorns seem to be in i think its a bit late to blame harry potter for unicorns! its just another marketing fab cleverly and subtly introduced to brainwash children to pester their parents!

Llamas have taken over unicorns now

One of the Queen’s Beasts is the Unicorn and the emblem for Scotland. Cf Royal Mint
