Anyone know where I could find this mug?

My husband (then boyfriend) once broke a cup that was very sentimental to me, in a similar fashion to what you've shown. He was honest, I had a little cry, then he glued it together and I placed it on my nightstand and he bought me a new cup for actual use.

That cup has been on my nightstand for 16 years and counting.

There's a very good chance that this mug can't be directly replaced.

There's also a very good chance that if you bought an identical mug, it still wouldn't mean the same as what it did when she got it.

What you should try to do is not replace the pattern on the porcelain, but replace the *idea* of the mug - even if it's just a different Santa mug.

You’re all over this sub with good advice!! I agree with this sentiment. Giving her a new mug, either with the same or different meaning as a caring and thoughtful gift would go much further than finding a like for like replacement

I can't say my advice is good, I just try to do my best.

I only know that the sentiment is what makes a gist special, not the dancing Santas. If I lose something I love, then someone I love "replacing" it with something that comes from a place of love would mean that it means just as much if not more.

Well, maybe your advice is good or maybe it’s terrible BUT from my perspective, it seems very solid! Putting myself in OP’s mums shoes… difficult as a man but bear with me… I would be so happy to know that my kid cared enough about me to get a well thought out gift

It doesn't hold the same truck with me, it's not MY Swamp Thing.

If my mum knew how upset I was and bought me something to replace it to make me happy, that would make me SUPER happy because the thought was there, not the Swamp Thing.
