Did you know that in Tove Jansson’s home country, Finland, Valentine’s Day is known as “Friend's day”? Celebrate friendship this Valentine’s Day and surprise your loved ones with Moominous gifts!
Friends play a big part in the Moomin family’s life and the doors to Moominhouse are always open for visitors. Together with Little My, Snufkin, Snorkmaiden and others, the family goes on adventures, organizes festivities and enjoys everyday life.
Friends are worth gold for us humans, too, and that’s why friendship should be properly celebrated! Celebrate Valentine’s Day this year together with your friends and surprise them with a lovely Moomin product.
“I had now found my first friend, and so my life was truly begun.”
-The Memoirs of Moominpappa (1950)
A gift to cherish for years to come
Who Will Comfort Toffle? tells the story of Toffle, a lonely creature who embarks on an adventure to find a friend. This popular picture book by Tove Jansson is a lovely gift idea for friends big and small.
The lovely book has also inspired Arabia’s Friendship series. The beautiful series consists of a mug, serving plates, a jar and a pitcher. Collect them all or buy your favourite one for a friend! Note that the production of the serving platter with Snufkin ended at the end of last year – we recommend ordering one quickly if you want to add it to your collection!
How beautiful is this cutting board? Muurla’s two-sided board can be used both for chopping and serving. On the other side of the board, there’s a black and white illustration of Moomintroll, Snorkmaiden and Little My.
Spend a Moominous time together
Don’t know what to do on Valentine’s Day? We have a suggestion: go on an adventure with your friends! The durable and lightweight enamel mugs by Muurla are suitable also for outdoor use. How about getting matching mugs for yourself and your best friend?
If you’d rather spend time inside, solving puzzles is a fun way to spend time together! On our webshop, you can find a big selection of jigsaw puzzles for children and adults. Do you think you can solve the 1000-piece puzzle together with friends?
And remember that even if you can’t see your friends live this Valentine’s Day, you can always send them a postcard! You can find a selection of Moominous postcards on our webshop or check out the fun Moomin eCards.
Psst… If your best friend happens to have paws, don’t forget the Muurla Moomin for Pets collection!
