7 Reasons Girls Are Putting Their Phones Down This Christmas — For A Fairy That Hovers Over Their Hand
It isn’t a new app or another cartoon. It’s a little fairy that lifts off her palm and glows beside the Christmas tree. Here are 7 reasons why.

I tucked it into her stocking as a small extra — by breakfast, the tablet was forgotten
The winter holidays had started the way I feared: my daughter curled up on the sofa, tablet an inch from her face, and me quietly feeling guilty about it.
On Christmas morning she pulled the fairy out of her stocking, shrugged, and went back to her screen. So I switched it on, waited a moment, and it lifted off my palm with its wings spinning and its lights glowing.
She looked up. Then the tablet slid off her lap and she was on her feet, holding her hand out for a turn.
The first time it lifted off beside the tree — the whole room went quiet
Nobody at home believed it would actually fly. My husband was sure it would just buzz about on the table.
We switched off the big light and left only the fairy lights on the tree. Then the wings whirred, the fairy rose into the air, and its glitter lights sparkled across the dim room.
My daughter gasped, her cousin shrieked, and my mother-in-law asked for a go before either of them.
With cousins over for the holidays, I worried about the wings — then I saw how it’s built
Spinning wings near a five-year-old’s fingers was my first worry, so I read the safety details twice before the children had a go.
It waits 3 seconds after you switch it on before it lifts, which gives little hands time to move clear.
If her fingers touch the wings mid-flight, it stops straight away. If it bumps into the sofa, it stops too and comes down for a soft landing.
We fly it indoors in an open space, away from fans, curtains and the Christmas tree, with me sitting beside her. That’s all it takes.
“Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but it really does fly! You just have to place your hand underneath it and it keeps hovering. My daughter figured it out after a couple of tries. Very entertaining!”

Why this isn’t your ordinary flying toy
Let me be honest, because this is where most people get it wrong: it isn’t a remote-control flyer. There’s no joystick, and nobody steers it round the room.
A small sensor underneath reads her hand. Hold a palm under it and it hovers and rises; take the hand away and it floats down to land.
It flies for about 6–8 minutes a flight, then takes about 25–30 minutes to charge by USB. Short, magical bursts — which is exactly how a five-year-old plays anyway.
Now it’s my Secret Santa gift for my niece — and the one every child crowds round
I ordered a second one for my niece. When she unwrapped it at our family Christmas lunch, the children left the table and gathered round to watch it fly.
It has become my answer whenever someone asks what to buy a little girl aged 5 and up. It feels magical, it’s screen-free, and the grown-ups end up playing too.
With Christmas coming round again, two more are on my list, and this time I’m ordering early.
I bought the cheap Amazon one first — it never left the floor
Full confession: before this, I ordered a cheaper flying fairy from a marketplace listing. It buzzed loudly, wobbled, and never once took off.
A friend’s one lasted two days before a wing snapped. The reviews on those listings tell the same story over and over.
The difference here is the checking. Every fairy is tested before it’s dispatched, and Desi Store backs it with a 6-month warranty: if she stops flying or the wings break, they replace it free.
I trusted 36,243 parents over my own doubt — and her face on Christmas morning said the rest
After the last one, I was sceptical, so I read reviews for nearly an hour before ordering. Parents kept describing the same moment — the gasp when it first lifts off.
Weeks later, the fairy still won over the tablet most evenings, and right through the winter holidays our living room was the place where we played together, all the way to New Year’s Eve.

“Gifted this to my daughter on her birthday and she absolutely loved it! The moment it started flying, her excitement was priceless. The lights look beautiful in a slightly dark room. Definitely a unique gift for little girls.”

“My daughter usually spends most of her free time watching videos on her tablet. Got this as a surprise and she has been playing with it since. We enjoy making it fly together. Such a lovely little toy!”
