Stuffed unicorns are the perfect gift for every girl, no matter what her age. They are featured in many of the Barbie movies which has made these cute stuffed animals a highly popular toy. They are faithful companions and friends for Barbie and every little girl will identify with them in the same way.

This mythical horned animal was an important feature in Renaissance paintings and literature. Similar to a white horse with a curly horn, it was a symbol of grace and purity. Many legends are told about this creature and the fact that its horn had magical healing powers. Tradition has it that it could only be taken captive by a young maiden.

With all the demand for these adorable toys, manufacturers have done their best to ensure that there is a wide range of sizes and designs available. The range includes a three-foot tall model which is quite striking and is perfect for decorating a room. Little girls might also enjoy a medium-sized one that is just right for cuddling or snuggling up with in bed. There are also some designs that can stand up on all fours, while others take on a reclining position.

When shopping for a daughter or granddaughter, make sure that the toy you buy is soft and cuddly and that it is not overstuffed. Good quality stuffing materials should have been used. Fabric that is washable and easy to care for is also important. Check that the horn is firmly attached and will not come off easily. The mane and tail should also be strongly made and threads should not be falling.

Fine details in the mane, tail and accessories are also clues to a quality item. Some even have a horn made of gold fabric and a tiny silver chain. The most important feature to look for, though, is the eyes. These need to be soft, large and appealing.

Look for these cuddle toys online at the principle internet shopping websites. The advantage of online shopping is that it is easy to compare prices and quickly find the style you like best. If you do not mind beating traffic, these are also available in toy stores and shopping malls.
