moomin at barnes and noble usa! haul + extra info!

i was lucky enough to live only about 30 minutes from a store with the moomin merchandise! the selection at the b&n near me was a lot smaller than other stores i’ve seen pictures of online (but you get used to that sort of thing when you live in middle of nowhere, michigan haha.)

the selection included many books (not all from the series), kids toys, stationary, accessories, dishes, etc! here’s what i got!

in total, i spent $80ish-i actually think things were priced pretty well! buying merchandise from moominshop online and shipping it internationally to the us can be very expensive, so i was pretty pleased!

the most expensive i bought i believe was the tote bag for around $30. it is made of 100% recycled cotton and the print on it is absolutely beautiful and so vibrant! there were two tote bags options, but i chose this one because i love love love moomins on the riviera.

my mom and i immediately fawned over the jewelry dish! it is so adorable! the hand-painted ceramic is incredibly stunning and the details on snorkmaiden’s hair and anklet are amazing. it was only $20 for such a beautiful, one of a kind piece!

the coasters are another favorite find of mine! they had two different sets, but i decided on these two because i love the quotes! i also adore that the quotes have the book they’re from below the text! they costed $10 for the set of two!

this waterbottle is also absolutely gorgeous- it is thermal, so it keeps hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold! i was actually in the market for a new waterbottle, since my old one recently broke, and i love this! they had two different water bottles, both 500ml (a big step up from how tiny the arabia mugs are haha). it cost me $24.99 and i am so excited to bring it to college this autumn! :)

there were many enamel pins- one for each character in the main cast (aside from sniff, sorry sniff) to choose from! i decided on the snufkin one since unfortunately there wasn’t any other merchandise at my location that focused on him, which was a tad disappointing because he is my favorite character (aside from ninny, who had absolutely no merchandise at all.) the pins cost $5 each!

i had so much fun on my barnes and noble moomin adventure! i even dressed up for it! (is this a face reveal??? lol)

all in all- it would be awesome to live in a state that had a bigger collection (CA and NY had the most) but i am beyond happy that i got the opportunity to buy moomin things in person!

thank you for reading! cheers! ❤️❤️❤️

Party Dresser

When Snorkmaiden needed to prepare for a duchess' cocktail party in Moomin and the Golden Tail, she provided Snorkmaiden with an array of rather... Unflattering to the normal eye's outfits, though she complimented her severely on them.

Riviera Boutique Keep

When Snorkmaiden wanted to buy new outfits in Moomins on the Riviera, she was able to provide Snorkmaiden with some rather expensive fits at the price of some of Snorkmaiden's gambling money. In fact, she was the one who incited Snorkmaiden's gambling by offering her a bathing suit if only she had the money to buy it.

Kiss of Number 13

Inspired by the chase scene in the Moomins On The Riviera movie (in the comic the climax isn't as dramatic) and the fact that ol' unlucky 13 (the number) represent both Judas and Moominpappa.

The imagery felt really fascinating to me; to have the intimacy of a kiss be juxtaposed by the immediate danger of a mob coming to arrest the recipient of the kiss. I'm not christian (never raised as one) but christianity with its imagery and mythology has always been such a fascinating thing to me, especially since the religion I grew up with doesn't allow any visual depiction of religious figures.

Moomin and its casual relationship with religion/Christianity is something that's truly understated by the fandom or forgotten about entirely and I think it's one of the more fascinating aspects to dive into. I dunno, I could ramble about for quite a bit.
