Moomin Mug Loving Care is a 2026 novelty mug by Moomin Arabia and part of the Classics series, remaining in continuous production. The mug has a capacity of 0.3 litres. The Loving Care collection was released at the same time as the Friends Forever collection in early 2026. The theme of the Loving Care mug is love, expressed through empathy, kindness and gentleness. The illustration is based on Tove Jansson’s comic strip Moomin’s Desert Island from 1955. On the mug, the Moomins encounter shipwrecked pirates on the shore, whose initial roughness softens thanks to Moominmamma’s gentle nature. In the end, the pirates join in to help with garden work. On the other side of the mug, Moomintroll is seen hugging a tree while Snorkmaiden gently pets a cat. Shades of green and pink flow around the mug’s illustration, enhancing the warm and heartfelt atmosphere of the collection. In addition to the mug, the Loving Care collection includes a plate, bowl, mini mug and tray.
