What is a loving cup?
The history of the Loving Cup dates back to the UK Saxon times,
before the Norman conquest of 1066. They are drinking vessels with two handles,
one on either side. Traditionally shared between two people to symbolize
the bond of friendship, unity and love.
As a parent or child’s guardian, we know that a proper goodnight is one of the most important
ceremonies for a child. The best goodnights are filled with love and compassion.
A time to feel safe and sound. Let us help make that moment extra special with
The Loving Cup Goodnight Ritual.
Bring your very own Loving Cup to your child’s bed or couch, along with
a splash warm milk or tea. Spend the most important 20-minutes of your child’s day,
book and cup in hand, learning, sharing and connecting.
