So the US store Home Depot- has these 6 foot (72inch) light up winged unicorn “Christmas” lawn ornaments. They are sooooo cool. They have “winger” style wings! They kinda look like Celestia with rainbow winger cello wings.
And pink hair! And they twinkle! And they are only $99 with free shipping (if your local store has them)
The ones at all of my local stores sold out, but they are still available in some places (my sister just bought 2)
Pony nerds everywhere will NEED this “Christmas” pony decoration!
The pony is life sized- near the size of a real (if petite) pony
Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing.

OMG it’s so pretty!! It’s a lot taller than me too, that would be awesome to have in your lawn but not sure where i’d store it if i’d have to haha it’s so huge
-
Oh I love that!!! :)
-
I saw that and I fully plan on buying it, I have a mlp themed yard display anyway! I was waiting until Black Friday though, does anyone know if they’ll be having a sale on yard decor this year?
Also, has anyone else noticed the trend of Christmas unicorns in general this year? I’ve bought two ugly unicorn sweaters and an ornament from target so far, but there’s so much more! It’s very bad for my wallet, I don’t have that kind of self control! :P
-
Owh man...I wish I lived in the US!!! You guys have soooo freaking cool outdoor decor for Christmas!!! X
-
That is amazing and I wish I could have one lol

Yes! I’ve seen two different wrapping papers of Santa riding a unicorn and I couldn’t resist buying a T-shirt of a kitten Santa riding a unicorn. Totally a theme this year.
I’m totally tempted by that lawn ornament but I don’t think I can do it this year and then I’d have to have a place to store it.
-
christmas unicorns are here too - went to a garden centre and they had a 6ft mechanical unicorn pulling a sleigh (covered in soft fabric and with a fluffy mane, too!!)
-
It looks more like its in the concept stages? :lol: I imagine it'll be like those thick, wire and light reindeer.

The unicorn does pack down (the pieces nest within each other) rather well, but I will admit the box is still pretty big. We might have to just drape it and stuff it in a corner in the basement...
It really is too big, but I just couldn't resist. Surprisingly, the wife was completely on board- I guess once it passes a certain level of ridiculousness, the is okay with it, haha (usually she forbids me large holiday outdoor decor)
:lol: I imagine it'll be like those thick, wire and light reindeer.
Yes it is like those white light reindeer you can buy-
Pretty cool though!
-
Wow it looks beautiful! :) I wish I had the funds and the display space. I’ve also noticed more Christmas unicorns this year. I saw an ugly unicorn Christmas sweater and Santa riding a unicorn.

Whoa!!!! That's amazing. I'd want to use it all year long.
Went to the Canadian Home Depot though and they currently want $169 for it and that's on sale. Maybe there will be some for Boxing Day sales.
-
I’d want it all year! But we don’t have any space for it. We have so much Christmas stuff to put out front, and there’s a massive tree. Oh well, tie it to the roof!
-
Why did I have to look??? This is so pretty! I have no room though and it would likely get pinched >_<
Love pkw xxx
-
Aw it's adorable!
I wonder though how well the hair will hold up?
-
:shocked: Whoaaa that is totally amazing!!
-
I want it but I don't have a front lawn, I'm loving the uptick in unicorn themed decor this season. Just need to find an ugly unicorn sweater.
-
Would be interesting! But sadly don't have that kind of money!
-
lol unicorns have gotten extremely mainstream the last couple of years. This is pretty cool looking,
-
My husband would never allow it, lol. Super cute though!
-
Just a little warning...I have a good friend in the US who bought one of these and put it up in her yard. Wind destroyed it within one day (legs bent in half, head and horn fell off) so...display with caution! With the price tag on this thing, you'd think they would've made them more durable. Especially since it's meant to be out on display for Christmas (you know, in the winter weather).
-
Wow, your friend must have some crazy wind!
Actually, from your description I wonder if your friend has the same unicorn? They are made of a THICK wire frame, like those wire/light "deer" that you see at places that sell Christmas loot- (but thicker wire)
We have ours now attached to the fence and secured with a bike lock (it would suck for someone to steal her). I dropped her a ton of times when I was building her and trying to secure her- and nothing broke- the horn is really sturdy actually, inside its own metal cage, I can't imagine how your friend's broke-
Also, the head can't fall off- it is attached with zip ties. I wonder if maybe your friend didn't put the zip ties on? that would definitely cause her to fall apart.
Honestly I think $99 is kind of a steal for such a huge decoration, especially a unicorn! But maybe I'm biased ;)
We decorated the yard this last weekend and have already had SO many compliments from neighbors and passers-by :D
Here are pictures of my sisters' unicorns- one put hers in her front window, the other just has her on the porch

She lives in Michigan, so yeah maybe crazy wind. ;) It's the same unicorn though, from Home Depot. They are so gorgeous! I wish I could get one here! But now I'd be nervous about it breaking. I hope everyone else's holds up!
-
I think it is cute, but i dont want to leave it on my porch, I would love to have one inside though.
-
I’m going to have to report that although this ting is beautiful, it really doesn’t hold up at all. I had bought it like a week ago and after we got our first winter storm I came home to find my unicorn toppled over and the wire base all mangled. Luckily I was able to return it, but for the price that was really disappointing to find. Also, I live in Arizona. When I say we had winter weather, we had some rain and a little wind. If it can’t survive here I’m not sure where it will hold up, unless it’s kept inside.
-
I guess we don't get much wind- my sisters have theirs on their porches or inside (they live in the high desert of CA, so yes crazy wind)
Ours is getting wet but holding up well- she is actually up on a box stand very well secured with zip ties (which I highly recommend)
I kinda wish we had 2 so they could be on each side of the yard :D

Owh man...I wish I lived in the US!!! You guys have soooo freaking cool outdoor decor for Christmas!!! X
I haven't seen quite this one, but I did see some giant and furry outdoor unicorn christmas statue things at the garden centre here in the UK a few weeks ago, alongside the reindeer which seems like an odd development but anyhow...
So maybe there are some more of these types of things across the channel in Europe too??

I'm sure that is the case- after all, all this stuff comes from China.
Unicorns seem to be the thing this Christmas? I've seen other Unicorn Christmas stuff- bizarre but I am liking the trend!!!

I have this creature sitting in my living room right now. I have to put it outside, but I haven't had time plus it's so beautiful that I don't wanna put it outside.
The creepy factor is when you turn off it's lights...they have an after glow. So it's kinda spooky at night to see creepy glowing lights in my living room with the lights off.
The only thing I was disappointed is the lights are not in the horn, mane/tale or wings. I'm potentially gonna resolve that issue when I do my setup outside, I may add some lights around uni.
I'm also going to be putting mine on the front poarch instead of out in the open, just so it'll have a little shelter.

Awesome! Yeah- I was thinking she needs lights around the wings- the wings kinda reflect the colors- but something shining on them or around them would be even better-
Yay for Unicorn Christmas! (or just Unicorns, haha)
-
Wow that is amazing! The only thing that I don't understand is the mane/tail fabric. I can't imagine that would hold up well if it was kept strictly outside.
If only it wasn't so expensive...
-
The more I see this, the more tempting it looks.
My only concern is that hair would get disgusting in a normal Midwest winter... And I don't think I have anyplace to store it after the season. Arrrgh
-
Yeah the mane/tail being fur- I was a little worried about that but I figure if it gets yucky it is easy enough to replace- it's just a strip of pink fur :)
