Mermaid Waterlily's 2019 Gift Guide

Although mermaids are known to sink ships into the depths of the deep sea, they can be swayed by creative and MERaculous gift giving. This year, I've discovered some whimsical products from fin-friendly creators that are sure to spark joy in any merling's life.

Listed in order of age group (youngest to oldest) :

Maiden Mermaid Book

1. Maiden Mermaid - The Tale of Sirena
Sheri Wall takes a legend and makes it a colorful world of rhyming and adventure with many lessons along the way. A must read for all little mermaids! Find The Tale of Sirena at A Matter of Rhyme.

A Mermaid's World Coloring Book

2. A Mermaid's World Coloring Book
The Inky Octopus never fails to have the most personality and magic in all her coloring pages, my favorites being A Mermaid's World, Unicorn and Pony, and Puppy and Dog coloring books.

The Thankful Mermaid Book

3. The Thankful Series
This coloring book and gratitude journal series by Hayley Rose is a splendid way for little mers to write out their thoughts and express their goals and dreams.

Capecali Robe

4. Capecali Robe
Nothing is fancier than a mermaid in her own luxurious robe in her favorite scale shade, especially when it's too cold to go tail-less!
P.S. They currently have Holiday Deals!

The Green Sorceress

5. The Green Sorceress Jewelry and Accessories
Mermaiding can get pricey, especially when it comes to finding plenty of FINtastic accessories that fit your mersona. The Green Sorceress handmakes plenty of affordable and abSHELLutely beautiful jewelry that can make all mers swim with excitement!
