You Are Here Ornament – Karlovy Vary

Three years after the release of the full-sized mug, You Are Here Ornament – Karlovy Vary is making its appearance in stores.

Karlovy Vary, also known as Carlsbad, is a spa town nestled in western Bohemia, Czech Republic. Founded in 1370 by Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, the city’s name translates to “Charles’ Boiling Water,” referencing its famous hot springs. Legend has it that Charles IV discovered the springs while on a hunting expedition, leading to the town’s establishment.

Throughout its history, Karlovy Vary has been a favored destination for European nobility, artists, and intellectuals.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Bratislava

I’ve just realized that I forgot to review this mini mug that I’ve had in my collection for a couple of months now. It is worth noting, that You Are Here Ornament – Bratislava comes out four years after the release of the bigger mug.

Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, has a rich history that spans centuries. Located at the crossroads of ancient trade routes, it has been inhabited since the Neolithic period. The city’s strategic location on the banks of the Danube River made it a significant center for commerce and politics.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Türkiye

Similar to the bigger mug, there is also an update for You Are Here Ornament – Türkiye. As you can see from the picture, the two ornaments are identical, except for the name. I now wonder if an updated Christmas version is something we can expect from Starbucks.

As a bonus, I included a Special Edition ornament that I have in my collection as well (the one with the red handle). It was released to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey, which marked a century since its establishment on October 29, 1923.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Ho Chi Minh City 2

Along with the bigger mug, Starbucks released You Are Here Ornament – Ho Chi Minh City 2, which is an updated version of the existing ornament. It has been a while since we’ve seen the last release from this collection, and that’s more than 3 years after the release of the Been There Vietnam ornament.

Again, I don’t understand the reasoning for the release, but I am really happy to add this ornament to my collection.

You Are Here Ornament – Vienna

You Are Here Ornament Vienna is a complete copy of the bigger mug that I reviewed some time ago. Interestingly enough, while that release was the second edition of the full-sized mug for this city, there was no ornament for the first version. I really wish there were two variants of the ornament as well, however it doesn’t seem to be happening.
The color of the string is dark red or maybe the shade of purple.

You Are Here Ornament – Amsterdam

Since these cute mini cups always had a particular place in my heart, I was more than happy to learn about the release of the Starbucks You Are Here Amsterdam Ornament. What makes it even more special, is the fact that it comes out exactly one year after the very last YAH ornament that I’ve reviewed here. The new release has exactly the same design as the bigger mug, obviously, as it was always the case for You Are Here collection.… Read more
