Flying unicorn Christmas present FAIL

A British family failed to read the instructions on their daughter's brand new flying unicorn toy and watched in horror as the Christmas present flew over their house, never to be seen again.

Little Poppy's grandfather bought her the 'Despicable Me' toy for Christmas but the first flight went disastrously wrong shortly after take-off on December 25 when the pink unicorn was taken by a gust of wind and sailed high into the sky and over the house.

"We didn't realise that the toy was for indoor use only," Poppy's dad wrote online.

"It cost £25 and lasted one flight! I tried to find it in the fields because Poppy was upset but couldn't find it at all. It was completely lost," he added.
