Our verdict
Value tilts heavily towards the pricier option here. Vicloon's tiara and wand (£4.49 at the time of writing) is a two-piece set with a soft, comfortable crown, fine as a stocking filler but rated a middling 4.1. Blue Squid's face painting kit (£19.99) brings 28 colours, 24 reusable stencils and a pile of accessories, uses hypoallergenic, paraben-free, vegan ingredients, and scores a healthier 4.6 from 6,895 reviews. One is a single costume prop; the other covers birthday parties, Halloween and rainy afternoons for months. Unless you only need the crown, the Blue Squid kit gives you far more play per pound.
