Mermaid gifts have been around as long as tales of mermaids have been told. (Or since The Little Mermaid was shown in movie theatres.)
Mermaids have been part of the folklore in many cultures around the world, with the first mermaid story being told in Assyria, which tells the tale of Atargatis, a goddess, who transformed herself into a mermaid after unintentionally killing her lover, who was human.
In the past, mermaids were seen as a bad omen. Classic tales also depict mermaids as pretty creatures that lure men to their deaths or drive them mad, but enough of that. Mermaids are cool now!
Mermaids have been referenced in literary works, comic books, and even games. There is a fascination for mermaids that can be explained and we’re sure you have that one person you know who loves to be by the sea, engaging in water activities or just simply lounging on the sand — almost like a mermaid.
