Rainbow hair! Glittery slime! If these are terms you hear often from the pre-tween in your life, we think it’s safe to say you’ve got a unicorn lover on your hands. Sure, cleaning up all that sparkle can be enough to make you want to pull your hair out, but on the bright side, you'll always know just what to get them when the holidays or birthdays roll around. From nightlights and earrings to blankets and purses (see: Princess Charlotte's darling wristlet) there's no shortage of products themed around this mystical creature. In fact, your biggest challenge just might be deciding which of them they'll love the most. We've narrowed it down to 20 of the best unicorn gifts your kids will think are straight-up magical—plus a few tips on how to choose between them.

What Makes a Good Unicorn Gift?

When you’re shopping for the best unicorn gift for your favorite kiddo, there are some things you should keep in mind.

  • What’s their favorite thing to do?: Unicorn-themed presents don't cater to one type of youngster. Since kids are into all kinds of different things, our extensive list of all-things rainbow, glitter and horns includes items to serve a wide variety of interests, so you can match what they like to do with the perfect present.

  • Keep the magic alive: We’re not saying you have to go all out this holiday season, but, chances are, if your favorite kiddo is obsessed with these majestic beings, it’s probably because they believe in enchantment. Aim to fan that flame with a present that will make them feel as magical as the creatures themselves by choosing something truly unique and special.
