The home accessory has a [white ceramic base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisanal-candle-collection), which is sculpted into the shape of a pony that's sitting down. Poking out from its skull is a large pink, yellow and blue horn. This element is made from wax and has a wick on top. Once the wick is lit, the wax warms up and begins to drip out of the hollowed eye sockets of the pony, making it look as though it's weeping colorful tears. Due to this effect, the Crying Unicorn Candle has a bit of a [creepy aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-jar-candle). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Mythical Creature-inspired Products:** Opportunity for creating unique and imaginative products inspired by mythical creatures. - **Colorful Home Accessories:** Disruptive potential in designing vibrant and visually appealing home decor items. - **Merging Art and Functionality:** Innovation opportunity in creating products that are both artistic and practical. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** Potential for introducing creative and whimsical home decor items to cater to a niche audience. - **Giftware:** Opportunity for developing unique and eye-catching gift items that appeal to consumers seeking novelty. - **Craft and Hobby:** Disruptive potential in merging creativity and utility to create products for craft enthusiasts and hobbyists. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Striking Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-candle.md) - [Colorful Zodiac Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anthropologies-zodiac-candle-collection.md) - [Uniquely Shaped Pastel Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goober-candle.md) - [Animal Patterned Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cow-print-candle.md) - [Food-Inspired Novelty Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-savage.md) - [All-Natural Color-Changing Spirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unicorn-distillery.md) - [Sculpted Holiday Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastel-palette.md) - [Hilarious Donut-Inspired Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donutinspired-candle.md) - [Unicorn-Shaped Gummy Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haribo-unicornilicious.md)
