There’s something universally enchanting about unicorns.
They’re mythical, magical, sparkly and mysterious. Somehow, they make everything feel just a little more special. Whether it's a glittery pencil case, a soft cuddly plush, a bath bomb with rainbow swirls or a lunchbox with a horned beauty prancing across the lid, unicorns have captured the hearts of kids (and adults!) all over Australia.
At Adventure Awaits, we’re proud to offer one of the most delightful and unique unicorn gift collections in Australia - hand-picked for every age, budget and level of unicorn obsession.
In this ultimate unicorn guide, we’re diving deep into:
What unicorns are (and whether they might actually be real 😉)
Why kids really love unicorns
Why grown-ups secretly do too
Our most magical unicorn gifts and toys
Unicorn gifts for every occasion and age
Why our collection is unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere
So grab your glitter, hold onto your horn, and let’s explore the wonderful world of unicorns.
Let’s start with the basics. A unicorn is a legendary creature most often depicted as a white horse with a single spiralling horn on its forehead. Across mythology and folklore, unicorns have been symbols of:
Purity and innocence
Magic and mystery
Grace and healing powers
Strength and wildness
In ancient legends, unicorns were rare and shy, often spotted only by the kindest souls or during magical events. Today, unicorns have evolved into something even more vibrant - think rainbow manes, glittery horns, and sparkling eyes full of joy and imagination.
Well… we like to think so!
Unicorns might not gallop down your street, but they’re absolutely real in the minds of kids, and that’s what matters most. They exist in imagination, stories, dreams and - thanks to you - in some truly magical gift boxes too.
At Adventure Awaits, we believe unicorns are a symbol of:
Joy
Wonder
Individuality
And the power of believing in something special
So yes, in our book, unicorns are definitely real. 🦄✨
The unicorn craze isn’t new, but it’s definitely booming. And here’s why:
Unicorns live in fantastical worlds where anything is possible. That kind of imaginative freedom is pure gold for kids.
Rainbow manes, sparkly tails, magical powers? Yes please. Unicorns are a celebration of extra - and kids adore it.
No two unicorns are alike, and that sends a powerful message to little ones - it’s okay to be different. In fact, it’s magical.
Unicorns aren’t scary. They’re gentle, brave, wise and kind - the perfect mythical creature for young imaginations.
Unicorns don’t go out of fashion. From storybooks to sleepwear, unicorns have been a beloved icon for generations.
And let’s be honest - grown-ups love them too. We’ve seen plenty of “just for the kids” unicorn purchases end up being shared (or claimed!) by the adults.
Need a gift that guarantees a big smile? Unicorns have got your back (or should we say, your horn).
Here’s why unicorn-themed gifts are perfect for:
Birthday surprises
Christmas stockings
Caravan or holiday treats
Back to school gear
Reward charts or milestone gifts
“Just because” moments that deserve magic
Whether it's a plush toy, an art kit, a puzzle, or a secret stash tin, unicorns always deliver on wow factor.
We’ve curated an enchanting collection of unicorn-themed toys, books, gifts and accessories that are as unique as the mythical creatures themselves. Here are just a few highlights:
