€150 for a mug 🤯
Does anyone else feel like Fiskars “(Moomin Arabia)” is taking advantage of us Moomin fans!?
Over the past few years the mugs have been getting more and more expensive, and more and more exclusive mugs are being released!
I guess they know people are willing to pay a lot of some of the old rare mugs, and they are finding ways to make the new mugs exclusive and desirable to justify selling them for 150€! This just seems ridiculous to me and I’m starting to have negative feelings towards the company!
This is a shame because I do love my Moomin mugs!

When I'm getting upset about not being able to buy some overpriced moomin products, I'm reminding myself that Tove has always criticized materialism through her entire bibliography.
Wanting to have some merch with your favorite series is completely fine, though, but you just gotta be rational about it. Sometimes, it's just better to look up for the alternatives or maybe even consider making your own hand-made stuff. Some people are often going way too crazy with trying to collect every single item from the particular brand, and the joy of this kind of collecting fades very quickly
