There are some things in this world that seem too good to be true like winning the mega millions lotto, finding a romantic partner who shares your disdain for cilantro or happening on a five-star Amazon product. There's always a catch. Winning the lotto comes with adjusting to a new tax bracket, the picture-perfect partner is probably cilantro-curious, and a five-star Amazon item is likely buying fraudulent reviews. But finding genuine Amazon "unicorns" as we like to call them — products that receive almost universal praise from buyers — isn't impossible. It just requires lowering your expectations by 0.1 stars.
No item is perfect, but the products featured ahead are damn near it. Finding a 4.9-star item that's genuinely deserving of its rating (a.k.a. isn't spammed with fake reviews) is a rare experience; trust us, we searched far and wide and to find them. Since we're accustomed to seeing review sections subjected to the rants of angry customers, any product that receives this amount of collective praise is worth checking out. See our round-up of unicorn purchases ahead, before Karen decides to go and knock it down to a 4.8.
Dream Big Wall Art
This is the only true 5-star rated item on our list so far (the rest of our unicorns as we mentioned are solid 4.9s), and it's as cute as can be. The set of six woodland creatures prints are perfect for a nursery or to sweeten up your desk. They're handmade by an artist in North Carolina and she's got lots of artwork available on Amazon.

Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "I knew I wanted to decorate my daughter’s nursery with a forest animal theme. I looked around for pictures, and these stood out to me the most. The good reviews gave me confidence in my purchase! Needless to say, I am another 5-star review! These are soooo adorable and absolutely perfect! The artist is very talented, and the paintings are on a sturdy paper and definitely good quality." –HMC0819

Fety High-Waisted Leggings With Pockets
The hunt for your perfect pair of black leggings ends here. Not only does this top-rated pair cost well under 20 buckeroos, come with both an Amazon's Choice and the 4.9-star-Unicorn stamp of approval, but it also features stretchy pockets (for, hello, holding the phone).
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 363 reviews
Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "I was looking for leggings I can wear comfortably for just about anything, and I have found it here! Excellent quality! They’re tight, but in the right way— they’re not constricting at all, in fact, they’re very breathable. The material is on the thicker side, rather soft, and surprisingly high quality. And they have pockets! Any woman looking to wear these understands the struggle of pockets. A few of the main selling points for these, when it comes to myself, was the fact that it comes in so a variety of sizes so I can be sure to find a pair that fits my body type, has pockets for things such as my phone to listen to music when I’m running, are seemingly high quality (but cheap price), has no piling, and has a waistband that doesn’t ’stick out’. The high waist is compressing, though isn’t uncomfortable. These fit amazing, and are exactly what I was looking for! I am so glad that I purchased these. 5/5 stars, and would recommend to anyone!" – Mystee Dawn

2020 Academic Weekly & Monthly Planner
This under-$10 planner may look simple, but that's exactly what makes it so special — according to 85% of reviewers who have given it the 5-star thumbs up. It features a no-fuss cover with a durable lay-flat spiral binding and an academic layout that includes monthly and weekly views.
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 4,693 reviews
Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "FINALLY! The planner I've been searching for. This thing is so perfect for my needs. I've returned two already for various reasons, but this one is sleek, simple, and uber-efficient with the monthly tabs. I especially like the size (smaller than an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper), so it's easy to fit into any bag I've got without becoming bulky (purse, backpack, a suitcase, you name it). I also love that it is spiral bound. Nothing like sitting in a meeting and having your book close on you. I can flip this one open and it's ready for consistent note-taking without having to crease and break a sewed/glued binding. In addition, the spiral binding is the perfect size for my favorite pen, which I usually have to clip to the outside of the spiral part. Annoying! This one holds my pen inside the spiral part, so I always have a pen ready to go. The cover is like an old school Five Star notebook (do people use those anymore?) so it will wick any water (or, let's be real, coffee) that may damage it. The cover will also never fold while stuffing it in your pack if you're in a rush and will protect the pages from folding/crinkling (a pet peeve of mine). The pages are nice and thick and, with a nice pen, feel like silk when writing. I am so much more organized with this agenda — no bells and whistles, but it's practical, sleek, and utilitarian. Love!" – Lydia Rose

I wish more came in the pack. Not only are they incredibly soft, but they're stretchy and fit both my Pack N' Play and mini crib perfectly! I will be ordering more of these!" – Manda

Bought it to use as a swim dress/cover-up right before I went on vacation, and it was beyond perfect — lightweight, dries quickly, wasn’t clingy, and I wasn’t wearing a million layers of clothing to the pool in order to stay modest and also feel pretty. Such a worthwhile purchase and the price certainly can’t be beaten!" – Ahron

Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "I am a long-time cat-human. I am not easily impressed by cat merchandise, and, of course, neither are any of my cats. This Cat Cave Bed was not on the floor for two minutes when Emily jumped in and made herself at home immediately. Never have I had a cat bed where there was such an immediate two paws up. A half a second of inspection and bam, her new home. Highly recommended. And you can wash this thing. My cat loves it. – Peapodgrrl

Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 170 reviews
Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "…For durability, I'll give it an A+. I didn't get to use it much because all the kids were taking turns using it. There was a lot of "my turn, get out" going on, a lot of kids swinging each other trying to knock the other person out. It survived dozens of occupant switches, vigorous swinging, etc and is no worse for the wear. – Charles

Open counter space is enough of a precious commodity as is. This roll-up silicone mat comes in handy when you need a place to dry dishes or rinse off veggies and easily stores away after use.
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 644 reviews
Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "Multi-purpose and durable, not a common description these days. As a drying rack, it works well and since it's made of silicone it is easy to trim to the desired size. I use this for cleaning fruits and vegetables, defrosting meats. I have a second in the garage sink for washing and drying sports equipment. Excellent and simple product." – Azrc51

Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 1,182 reviews
Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "Words cannot describe how great these are! I am a mom of three girls and work a full-time job at an elementary school. I wake up at 5:30 a.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. on weekends and go to bed around 11 p.m. every night. I always wake up looking like a zombie and pile on the concealer that seems to fade halfway through the day. I tried these on as soon as I got home. I washed my face and put on some moisturizer then placed these on. I'm not lying when I say that I saw instant results and that was just with ONE use! I can't wait to see further results with more usage in the future!" – Stephanie

These genuine-leather doppkits are handmade by a small family business based in Chicago. Buyers consistently note the great quality and size for its modest price.
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 1,259 reviews
Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "I am a frequent traveler and travel constantly…for business as well as leisure travel…The problem is finding gear that will hold up and survives the abuse. I now carry Komal's leather duffel, toiletry, and messenger bag and could not be happier with the fine quality and heavy-duty craftsmanship. The leather is thick and heavy hide that is sure to stand the test of time and the abuse that comes with long travels. The zippers, snaps, clips, and even the leather and non-leather material, liners, etc are all very high quality and the craftsmanship is second to none. – Timekeeper

Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 583 reviews
Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "These makeup brushes are amazing and comparable to my expensive brushes that I have sworn by for years. I was buying these for my 13-year-old daughter, but I was so impressed with the quality I decided to toss my expensive brushes so I could keep these for myself! I then ordered 2 more sets for my sister and daughter! The foundation brush is my absolute favorite as it helps to apply evenly and effectively for a flawless finish. I am self-conscious about an age spot on my face, but you would never know it was there with the help of these brushes. This has also helped to step up my eye shadow game and inspired me to try out new looks from utilizing tutorials. Great product!!!" – Humbleex

Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 7,298 reviews
Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "My home office desk has to do duty for low evening mood lighting, high-intensity daytime accountant's papers, and everything in between. I started using this lamp one week ago…I bought it for the color options and it has totally changed my daily life. The options, both as to intensity and color scale, are myriad…my early morning and late evening computer or desk work no longer jolt me into some alternate time universe, but keep me right where I want and need to be. Highly recommended, even by this penurious accountant." – Henry

Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "I love these bags so much! I take them everywhere with me, which is super easy to do since they fold up so small I can just carry them in my purse! Gone are the days of being charged 5 cents a bag for paper bags at my grocery store! They are so sturdy and hold so many groceries. One of these bags easily holds 3 plastics bags worth of groceries. It's not a matter of what THEY can hold, It's what YOU can carry! I have tested their strength by loading the bag as heavy as I could possibly stand to lift them, and they didn't rip or tear in the slightest. I even use these at Costco. I also get a lot of compliments on them as well! I also had no issue folding them back up into their little sleeve. I will be buying many more of these!" – Gene Wickman

Casfuy Professional 2-Speed Pet Nail Trimmer
Skip the stressful (and often pricey) groomer visit with an at-home pet nail trimmer. This device boasts thousands of positive reviews from pet owners of all breeds.
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 3,986 reviews
Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "My golden retriever-Shepard mix absolutely hates to have his nails clipped; it’s always been a stressful process, whether done by the vet or at home. I’ve tried several versions of expensive clippers to no avail. I had just resigned myself to feeling like I’m torturing my poor, aging buddy, and to trimming only a nail a month to reduce his stress. I randomly saw this grinder on a “things on amazon your dog needs” list and decided to buy it. It’s amazing! I’d never tried a grinder before and assumed it [would] be loud or cause a lot of vibration. My dog was skittish at first, so I tried only one nail and rewarded him with treats. Within a few short sessions I was able to groom all of his significantly overgrown nails to a healthy, comfortable length, and with no stress or discomfort for Moe! It’s really quiet, light, and comfortable to hold. It’s rechargeable and the battery lasts forever – did all his nails on one charge. They were getting seriously long too, to the point that they were beginning to touch the ground and cause him discomfort. No more! I can’t recommend this product highly enough!" – L. Jones

Miuco Bamboo Handbag
We don't typically like to enable knock-offs, but considering Cult Gaia is far from the original designer of the bamboo ark bag, this more affordable version gets the green light as a suitable alternative in our book.
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 951 reviews
Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "Earlier this year I saw a woman with a purse like this in Puerto Rico and knew I had to find one for myself! I purchased the small size and found it PERFECT. The wood pieces give just enough of a glimpse into the contents for it to be intriguing. I also put a small clutch inside to hold my credit cards and cash. I throw my iPhone into the empty bag with no issues. The bag comes with an adorable separate sash that can be put on or removed whenever. It's a nice design touch. I've used it on trips to vineyards and summer pool parties and have received so many compliments. I can't recommend enough!" – Christine, NYC

Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 1,454 reviews
Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "This came at the perfect time. I’ve had it on my wishlist forever, and finally decided to treat myself. I wanted this because sometimes I just need the reminder to hold on and keep going…My best friend lost her mother the day I received it, and I put it on the day I took her to the funeral home to make the final arrangements. While I was getting dressed and putting it on I kept thinking of how much she needed this. It wouldn’t leave my mind…I took it off told her I couldn’t stop thinking of how she needed this. When I handed it to her I told her to read the inside. My friend hasn’t smiled once in the three days since her mother passed, but when she read it she smiled and has continued to say it is perfect. This cuff is the gift that keeps giving in my opinion. And I will be purchasing another one as soon as I decide to splurge for myself again. Hopefully something terrible like this doesn’t happen again, but if it does I know this will help to lift anyone’s spirit during a dark time. – Alex

I am elated that it was a $13 purchase…I had never used a steamer prior to using this one. I have recently begun ironing my clothes at the ripe age of 29 (I know, I know). But this steamer is a game changer! I steamed a pair of pants in maybe 2 minutes. They looked great and didn’t have the iron wrinkles and/or marks!

Hey, it's an actual unicorn! This stunning, illustrated book makes a beautiful gift for a child or anyone who'd enjoy reading up on the whimsical world of unicorns.
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 125 reviews
Lookie-loo, it's a unicorn!, review: "All in all — I am seriously impressed by this book.
The fun and fabulous way Selwyn wrote about unicorns set the tone perfectly.
He spends a little time talking about the different breeds, what they are known for, their special powers and histories. It was so cool to "learn" about the species! In between the species spotlights, there were sections about unicorn habitats and habits.
In addition, the illustrations were more than a little amazing. Every page had these gorgeous full-color illustrations. They were beyond impressive. The Magical Unicorn Society Official Handbook was a fun way to spruce up the genre and I will definitely be picking up a copy for my younger cousins!" – Miranda Reads
