Mermaids have been all the rage since we were kids — mostly thanks to Ariel. But even today, kids (and adults!) love to dress up as the half-scaled/half-human creatures and fantasize about living among the fish. So here are 15 super-cute things that any mermaid-lover would enjoy, since they are, in fact, stuck on land.

1. Mermaid Bathing Suit

OMG, how cute is this mermaid swimsuit? It comes in pink or purple, or you can just get both for ultimate cuteness and hope your kid will sit still long enough for a picture.

2. A Cute Mermaid Tee

This “mermazing” tee has lace-up sides and would allow any mermaid-obsessed kid to celebrate their love for ocean creatures, and rock a cool ’80s look.

3. Mermal Magic Hatchimals

This clever wall art is full of great advice for kids, like inspiring them to come out of their “shell” and avoid “pier” pressure. The puns are the best part.

If you know someone who loves mermaids (or it’s you who wishes you had scales, a tail, and had a friend named Flounder), there are so many mermaid-themed goodies to enjoy. So go ahead and snuggle up under a mermaid-blanket, or enjoy a mermaid bath. Just don’t forget to “sea” life’s beauty too.
