Welcome to Unicorn Puffs: A Treasure Hunt With Heart
We started as weekend diggers with a trunk full of flea-market finds. Twenty-five years later, Unicorn Puffs is still that same spark—only now it’s a full-time, story-forward online reseller of collectibles, crafts, and antique items with thousands of safe shipments behind us.
Our mission is simple: find worthy pieces, treat them with care, and match them with the right homes. If you love the chase, the patina, and the happy mail day, you’re in the right place.
Unicorn Notes: The Quick Take
- What we sell: authentic collectibles, vintage crafts, and antiques we’d proudly display ourselves.
- How we work: careful sourcing, honest condition notes, museum-light cleaning, secure packing.
- Why it matters: every piece carries a story—we make sure it arrives safely so the story continues.
What We Sell: Collectibles, Crafts, and Antiques
Our shelves (and hearts) lean eclectic. Expect rotating categories with seasonal highlights and one-of-a-kind hauls.
- Vintage decor and small furnishings with character
- Studio and folk crafts, fiber arts, and artisan-made pieces
- Ephemera: postcards, prints, maps, and ads
- Glass, pottery, and ceramic curios
- Toys, games, and oddities from well-loved eras
25 Years on eBay (and Counting)
We cut our teeth selling on eBay in the late ’90s and never looked back. That experience shaped our standards: clear photos, accurate descriptions, responsive messaging, and reliable shipping. We still study best practices to keep every transaction smooth. For sellers and curious collectors alike, the eBay Seller Center offers useful, up-to-date guidance we use and recommend.
How We Work: From Find to Your Doorstep
- Source: Estate sales, studio closings, attics, barns—we follow leads and trust our trained eyes.
- Research: We verify materials, age, maker marks, and regional provenance where possible.
- Care: Light, reversible cleaning; no heavy-handed “restores” that erase history.
- Photograph: Natural light, true color, multiple angles, and any quirks called out.
- Pack & ship: Right-sized boxes, padding, and methods that prioritize safe arrival.
What We Look For
- Quality: solid construction, honest wear, and pieces that age with grace.
- Story: makers, movements, or materials that mean something.
- Joy: items that make you smile today and still feel right tomorrow.
Care, Authenticity, and Packing
We follow conservation-minded handling so pieces stay stable from shelf to shipment. For collectors who want to go deeper, the Smithsonian’s care guides are a favorite reference: Taking Care of Your Treasures.
Shipping is the last mile of trust. We rely on tested materials and techniques; the USPS packaging help center is a solid resource for best practices: USPS Packaging Help.
Running a resilient shop also means staying sharp on small-business fundamentals. The SBA’s online business overview is a handy primer for makers and resellers alike: SBA Online Business Guide.
