The Gift of Love Moomin plate was released in autumn 2026 as part of Moomin Arabia’s Gift of Love collection, which marked the grand finale of the Love mug’s 30th anniversary year. The 19 cm plate is part of the collection’s ceramic tableware. The exceptionally extensive collection consists of 31 products, including ceramics and glassware as well as textiles, decorations and other home products. In addition to the familiar mug, bowl and plate selection, the ceramic tableware includes a jar, pie dish, platter and oven dish. The main inspiration for the collection’s illustrations comes from Tove Jansson’s comic Moomin and the Golden Tail, in which Moomintroll’s golden tail tuft turns him into a celebrity and leads him to an elegant party. The designs also include elements from the comics Moomin’s Winter Follies and Moomin Begins a New Life. The Gift of Love collection is widely available online and from retailers from 1 October 2026. To celebrate the Love mug’s anniversary year, the collection replaced Moomin Arabia’s traditional winter collection in 2026.

Even though Sniff lives with the Moomin family, Muddler and Fuzzy are his parents. Muddler wears ragged clothes, and a saucepan on his head.
