To wonder WTF Next has such an obsession with...

[Shouldnotwouldnot]

Unicorns. I was trying to buy my daughter some t-shirts and struggled to find anything that didn’t have a unicorn design. So I searched for unicorns on their site and there are SIXTY SIX unicorn offerings for girls in their range. What the fuck is that all about?

There are ZERO for boys BTW

I just bought this t shirt for DD. You can also get it for boys.

They had a ok sweatshirt in next for children. Then I realised it didn’t have a hem, it was rough cut and open. Why can’t we have a hem.

Not that my t shirt has anything to do with Next!

I like Uniqlo for children's clothes. Me too, and the quality is decent. Also Zara. I go into the sale there once or twice a year and sweep up a bunch of stuff in each of the DCs' size.

I have a £10 voucher for Next. I've been in three times and can't find anything at all I'd buy or put it towards. I think I'm just going to give it to a homeless person, they could at least choose some new socks.

I think we're well past peak unicorn, Next should know when to stop flogging a dead dickhead horse. Sloths have had a shot at high street success, but t'int happening. I'm hoping for more capybara love in 2018.

MiddlelingMum, I would just buy some lightbulbs or a couple of hand towels or something like that

There’s a Coop supermarket with a Peacocks in near me. Seems weird, but shouldn’t be weirder than big supermarkets that sell clothes.

How old was the child up thread who said they're just like horses with penises on their heads What an odd thing to say.

Was thinking the same.

Anyway it's not just unicorns that are for girls. Cats also are aswell apparently. My son loves cat but can never find any boys clothes with them on. He recently found a cat hat and scarf in the girls section in primark he wanted it so I bought it for him but we've already had comments from people that he shouldn't be wearing it!

I have those slippers! Bought for me for Xmas.

I have loved Unicorns for a long time. Now everyone bloody loves them (except MN)

I've been really struggling to find decent basics for DD who is nearly 1.

What's the obsession with polo necks this season for children.

I bet none of the designers have ever tried to squeeze a toddler into a polo neck.

I think those slippers would be a hazard going up and down stairs. In the words of Lynn Faulds Wood-'potential death trap'.

When Next first opened locally they had a cafe in the store. We're talking back in the late Eighties.

They did the most fabulous salads.

Full price Boden is expensive but you might want to check out their sale stuff, they do offer really good discounts regularly if you don't mind checking once a week... that's if you like their stuff! You might not!

It’s a trend. It will pass. I quite like the idea of unicorns. Could be a lot worse!

Shouldnotwouldnot. Mine has a Costa too. Or should I say, my Costa is surrounded by a Next store 🤔😂. Is yours on a giant round about?!

I prefer the unicorn ‘thing’ to the skull ‘thing’.

I've always loved unicorns but even I'm sick of them everywhere now, the unicorn food craze has to be the worst part though.

I tried to buy a nice diary in Paperchase and they all had unicorns on. It's the new big cute fad, like pugs.

At least unicorns are mythical so people can't go out and actually buy one (or they would).

Umm me & dd (7) love unicorns. We have recently decorated her room with unicorn wallpaper so it's a trend that won't be going anywhere for a while in our house

annieanonimouse no, just a bog standard retail park!

It's 2018 version of pugs

At least unicorns are mythical so people can't go out and actually buy one (or they would).

At least unicorns are mythical so people can't breed mutant animals with extensive health problems for profit.

I think Unicorms will start to fade away in the next few months.
