Discovery Series Ornament – Las Vegas

Posted on

Discovery Series Ornament – Las Vegas is the mini mug for the Entertainment Capital Of The World. Las Vegas, founded in 1905, began as a modest railroad town in the Mojave Desert. Its transformation into a bustling metropolis was catalyzed by the legalization of gambling in 1931, attracting waves of tourists and developers. The construction of the Hoover Dam in the 1930s also played a pivotal role, bringing jobs and a surge of workers. The post-World War II era saw the rise of iconic casinos and hotels.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – California

Posted on

Discovery Series Ornament – California compliments the release of the bigger mug that I reviewed earlier.

Here is what ornament has to offer:

– The California Quail, with its distinctive topknot and intricate feather patterns, is a charming symbol of the state’s rich biodiversity. Often seen scurrying through the underbrush in small coveys, the California quail embodies the resilience and beauty of California’s natural landscapes. This iconic bird’s melodious call and striking appearance make it a beloved emblem for Californians, representing the state’s commitment to preserving its wildlife.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Hawaii

Posted on

Discovery Series Ornament – Hawaii follows the release of the bigger mug. I encourage you to read the full review here.

As for the ornament, similar to other mini mugs from the Discovery series, the design has very few elements. We can see the rainbow, the whale, and a tiny island with palms and waves.

Unlike the bigger mug, the diver is on the back of the ornament and holds the coconut with the straw, instead of Hawaiian Shave Ice. … Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Tennessee

Posted on

Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament – Tennessee is part of a fast-growing collection of mini mugs.

The name “Tennessee” is derived from the Native American word “Tanasi” or “Tanasqui,” which was the name of a Cherokee village in present-day Monroe County, Tennessee. The exact meaning of “Tanasi” is unclear, but it has been interpreted to mean “meeting place,” “winding river,” or “river of the great bend.” The word was first recorded in the 16th century by Spanish explorers and later adopted by English settlers.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Virginia

Posted on

When compared to the bigger mug, the design of the Discovery Series Virginia Ornament has much fewer elements. I went through most of the symbols and landmarks here, but let me at least mention the ones that made it into the design of the ornament:

– The Virginia state bird is the Northern Cardinal, adopted in 1950 for its vibrant plumage and melodious song.

– Virginia’s state flower, the American Dogwood, was designated in 1918, celebrated for its delicate blossoms that grace the state’s landscape.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – New York City

Posted on

These were discovered (pun intended) much faster than I expected. As you probably remember, in the case of the previous series of Starbucks collectibles, there was a six-month gap between the release of the mugs and the release of the ornaments. So I was mentally prepared to see the mini mugs from the Discovery series only closer to the end of the year. What was my amazement when I saw the photos of the brand-new Discovery Series Ornament – New York City today.… Read more

Discovery Series Disney Ornament – Hollywood Studios

Posted on

The inside color of the Discovery Series Disney Ornament – Hollywood Studios as well as its string is light green. The design matches the full-size mug, but features less details. For instance, Mickey, the guitar and the Beauty and the Beast are missing on the front and the back shows Mickey and Minnie driving the car, which I believe refers to Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. The latter is an innovative and captivating attraction that transports guests into the enchanting world of Mickey Mouse and his beloved companion, Minnie.… Read more

Discovery Series Disney Ornament – Epcot

Posted on

Discovery Series Disney Ornament – Epcot is one of the four WDW ornaments released recently. The color of the string is purple. The design of the ornament contains way less elements, when compared to the bigger mug. For instance, the back only shows the mouse named Remy from the animated film “Ratatouille”. As you might know there is an attraction in Epcot related to this movie, which is called “Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure”. It is located in the France Pavilion of the World Showcase.… Read more
