The World Is Obsessed With These Mermaid Blankets

From Good Housekeeping

While some parents are going insane trying to buy Hatchimals, there's one under-the-radar (or under the sea, rather) gift that kids are also going bonkers for: The mermaid tail blanket.

They're sold on Amazon, and are currently their "#1 New Release" item. You can buy it here for just $27. Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?

You just slip inside the crocheted blanket and it turns you into a mermaid and all your dreams come true - trust us. In case you're confused by the concept, it's basically a crocheted sleeping bag with knit fins. It comes in 11 different colors, including two designs with an enhanced "scale design" to make things more realistic.

The best part is you can get one for the merkids in your life, and one for yourself. Hey, you can turn your whole family into merpeople if you want!

One reviewer on Amazon said their granddaughter-turned-mermaid "feels so special when she uses it." Another reviewer said they got the gift for a mermaid-enthusiast so she "could really feel like a mermaid in the comfort of her own home." Someone even raved, "the quality is as if our own grandmother's had spent months making it." And if you're concerned about the logistics of entering and exiting the tail, one reviewer said there's a "slit on the back to make it get in and out of the tail."

This is the last-minute gift you've been hoping to find for the girl who has everything. Way better than gadgets and gizmos a plenty, whooz-its and whatz-its galore. Just act fast before they all sell out.
