The December holidays are just around the corner. This is the time of year that is filled with a lot of gift giving. Some people can be very hard to buy for, especially when they have an odd interest. What if you are searching for the perfect present for someone who loves mermaids? Below are ten great gift ideas for mermaid collectors of all ages on your holiday list this holiday season.
1) Mermaid movies are always a hit. Disney has recently reopened their vault and has released The Little Mermaid on a special addition DVD. This DVD is available for between $15 and $20 at most retailers, including Walmart, Target, Blockbuster, and even your local grocery store. Disney originally released The Little Mermaid in 1989, and it instantly became a classic. Other great mermaid movies include Daryl Hannah and Tom Hanks in Splash, and Sara Paxton in Aquamarine.
2) Help your mermaid collector explore where The Little Mermaid all started. Your mermaid collector is sure to appreciate a copy of Hans Christian Anderson’s The Little Mermaid. Written in 1836, this book follows the life of a mermaid who longs to live on the land. This is the book that inspired the Disney movie. It is available in paperback starting around $2.00. The hardcover version starts at around $15.00. Find it at most retailers including Walmart, Borders, and Amazon.com.
3) Wouldn’t your mermaid fan be surprised by an all new mermaid tale? In October of 2006, the book Midnight Pearl: A Retelling of “The Little Mermaid” by Debbie Viguie was released. This new take on the timeless tale is available in paperback for about $6.00 at most retailers. It is recommended for young adult and adult readers.
4) There is a rather extensive collection of mermaid figurines available on the market today. The Dorie mermaid figurine, which is made of hand painted resin, retails online for approximately $35. It is a great addition to any mermaid collection, at a very reasonable cost.
5) The Syrens of The Sea figurines are a great addition to any mermaid collection. There are thirteen different styles available in this collection, each available online for approximately $20. Each beautiful figure offers a different view of life under the sea. Look for mermaid sisters, mermaids with other sea life, and mermaids snoozing in underwater settings.
6) If you have more money to spend, and want to get the gift of a lifetime, check out the collection of Lladro mermaids. This beautiful collection includes both full sized and larger mermaids. They are made of fine porcelain, and are available online starting at approximately $195. Their value makes them recommended for older collectors.
7) Mermaid fans will enjoy being able to express their love for mermaids on their Christmas tree. Help make this possible with the gift of mermaid Christmas ornaments. Mermaid-themed Christmas ornaments are available in a number of styles and by a number of makers. Find them online starting at around $9.00 each.
8) Mermaid jewelry is another great option. Whether you opt for sterling silver earrings, pewter and stone necklaces, or a gold ring (or anything in between), you are sure to find something to please your mermaid lover. Mermaid jewelry is available online starting at $25.
9) Artist David Delamare has created some beautiful mermaid prints, available online in the 8X10 size, pre-matted, for only $20. Other sizes are available at different prices. However, those options are not matted. His wonderful paintings are a must have for any mermaid fan.
10) Would you like to give your mermaid fan the gift of a wonderful mermaid memory? Weeki Wachee Springs in Florida is a wonderful family attraction featuring a live mermaid show. These mermaid shows have been performed since 1947 and feature mermaids working with animal life including turtles, manatees, and much more. Mermaid lovers between the ages of 7 and 14 living in the area will also be thrilled with a week long summer mermaid camp now available at Weeki Wachee.
These are just ten of many great gift ideas for the mermaid lover on your holiday list. No matter what you decide, she is sure to be thrilled that you remembered her interests when selecting her holiday present.
