10 Best Piñatas UK 2022 | Unicorns, Dinosaurs and More

Unicorns are hugely popular among young kids, so this piñata would work great as your centrepiece at a fantasy-themed party. Unlike many piñatas, it comes with a blindfold and bat, turning the event into a game rather than simply an attempt to smash up a piece of cardboard!

Better still, it's made from a strong material that takes more than a single hit to break. This means the fun will last much longer, so that everyone can have a turn. To top it all off, this piñata can hold a whopping 2kg of goodies. Perfect for larger parties or - if you're feeling brave - for giving each child more sweets!

Piñatas aren't just for kids. This star-shaped piñata has a sparkly design that could even complement the glitz and glamour of a dinner party. It's a piñata that you can take seriously, but when it comes to it, it will provide just as much fun as any kid-friendly option.

That's not to say it's only for adults. It'd work just as well at a space or princess-themed children's birthday party, especially as it has room for up to 900 g worth of treats!

Dinosaurs have never gone out of style, and they're hugely popular with young kids. Without a doubt, this T-Rex-shaped piñata is guaranteed to go down a storm at children's parties. In addition, it comes in a shade of red which, while not true to life, gives this piñata a vivid appearance that's hard to ignore.

This, combined with the 56cm height, makes for an impressive centrepiece. So much so that your child might be reluctant to smash it to pieces! 

Reaching a certain age is a massive deal to little ones, and this number-shaped piñata lets you join them in celebrating a specific milestone. It lends a personal touch to their party decorations, and allows you to quickly date photos when you look through them years later!

The rainbow colour scheme is versatile, complementing most party themes nicely, and it even comes with a blindfold and bat. It's 45cm tall, and while this isn't huge, it's sizeable enough that you can enjoy it as a decoration before it gets smashed! We've used the number 5 as an example, but other numbers are available.

This piñata is ideal for Harry Potter or magic-themed birthdays. It's shaped like the Sorting Hat and would look fantastic against a backdrop of Wizarding World decorations and props. Just as the Sorting Hat sits at the centre of the Great Hall, so will this piñata sit as the centrepiece of their birthday celebration.

It's a pull mechanism piñata, which helps keep things in order when the fun begins. What's more, because they won't need to smash it, they can even keep it in their bedroom once the fun's over!

First things first, this flamingo piñata looks fantastic! Those dangly legs are sure to give anyone happy feelings in a way that no other piñata can. At 58 cm tall, there's enough space for nearly a kilogram of sweets inside this charming fellow.

It's perfect for both kids and grown-up parties. Of course, flamingos are all the rage among little ones and are always a hit at the zoo. However, this piñata would also serve as the ideal centrepiece at your tropical-themed garden party this summer.

This piñata is the ideal choice for younger kids' parties. It's shaped like Lightning McQueen - the star of Disney's Cars franchise - and it looks just like their favourite character from the films. Wheels, windows and bonnet are all crafted with impressive attention to detail.

The bright colours make it a cheerful centrepiece that's sure to enliven parties and celebrations, and it's easy to fill with your own selection of sweets and treats. Plus, it can be pulled open using the strings, just in case your vehicle-loving little one doesn't want to smash it up!

This piñata is shaped like the famous Fortnite supply llamas that drop ammunition in the game's battle royale. Not only will this appeal to gamers, but it also makes perfect sense as a piñata design - it even resembles the traditional piñata donkey!

Unlike traditional piñatas, this llama drops toys rather than sweets. It includes a 4-inch Rust Lord figure, ten weapons, four back bling, and eight exclusive building materials. While this isn't ideal for parties, it's a nice treat for a single child. There are also several ways of opening it - hang it and hit it like a standard piñata, or tear it open with your hands!

If you're planning a party for an avid Marvel fan, this Iron Man piñata is simply a must-buy! It's incredibly detailed and, at over 60 cm tall, it'd make a great addition to any superhero-themed party.

It can hold up to 900 g of sweets, which isn't bad, but is a little disappointing considering how giant this piñata is. The only potential downside is that your little one may feel uncomfortable giving Tony Stark a whack. Unfortunately, Thanos-shaped piñatas are in short supply.

This rocket-shaped piñata is ideal for celebrating a budding astronaut's special day. It's impressively detailed, with bright colours and fire blasting out of the nozzle. We think it would look perfect hanging in a room decorated with stars.

Despite appearances, this is not a pull string piñata, but a traditional one that your child must smash. This is something of a shame, as it'd make a nice object for keeping in a space-themed bedroom. However, it does come with a handy hanging hook, which is always helpful!
