Did it bother you there were two YAHs for Hawaii and Waikiki and only one Hawaii Ornament? Was it only me? No reason to be sad anymore, as Waikiki YAH Ornaments were just recently spotted in the Starbucks stores. As you remember in my previous post related to this Ornament, I said Waikiki is coming, I was not sure when exactly though. Anyway, I was lucky enough to order some and they’re going to join my Hawaiian collection soon.

New addition to US You Are Here Ornament family – Charlotte. I heard there will be many more releases this year so no surprise.
This mini mug is already available on Ebay – mug sellers are pretty quick these days. Well, where there is demand there will be supply. Don’t expect them to sell at cost, though.… Read more
You Are Here Ornament US series is still growing. A San Diego mini mug was found today on eBay. It looks like Starbucks decided to cover West Coast first. Who knows maybe we gonna have many more in upcoming days or weeks. It’s safe to say that, if your State, Province or City has a regular YAH and not ornament – this will be your year. If you want to be the first to spot the new release, you have to pass by a licensed store on a daily basis.… Read more
As it was advised by a friend, this is totally normal for Starbucks to release new mugs in batches this time of the year. Today, I was really excited to see the reports about the issue of Las Vegas Ornament from You Are Here series. Same design, same color inside as the regular Vegas YAH The strap is obviously red.
One new thing I also learned today. Again, according to pro muggers, Tuesday is the release day. So if nothing else will be released today, we still have other Tuesdays, folks.… Read more
I am really excited now as Starbucks has released new mini – Oregon You Are Here Ornament. This is definitely a nice looking one, at least to my tasting. We can now expect that year 2017 will be the year of many US YAH Ornament releases. As a reminder, there are only 62 US YAHs, excluding Disney and Universal and only 30 US YAH Ornaments so far.
As usual, my advise is to keep an eye on licensed stores in airports, hotels and rest stops.… Read more
In my previous post I mentioned there are two new YAH Ornaments released for US. This is the second one – Washington state. Again, I have no idea how Starbucks decides on what they gonna be releasing and when, probably just random. Try to spot them in licensed stores like Hotels or rest areas on highways. … Read more
People with “completed” collections of US Ornament YAHs – there are good news for you. Starbucks is adding two (so far) other minis to their collection. Yes, please make some room for You Are Here Ornament – Denver. This one is obviously a complete copy of it’s bigger brother I am pretty sure these will be available for sale online very soon or for trade through FB groups. Good luck!… Read more
Along with the full size version, Starbucks released Thailand You Are Here Ornament. It is a complete copy of the first, just smaller. Very interesting detail here – the lace is very different from what I’ve seen before on the previous ornaments. Usually, it was a braided round lace and now it’s a flat one! So we can say this ornament is somewhat unique in the series. I believe this is not the only one mug coming from Thailand. Judging by Icons and Relief Series, there should be more.… Read more
I was monitoring Facebook groups recently and it has been just reported that Toronto YAH Ornament had been finally spotted in stores. I don’t know which exact store got them first, but it appears that these Ornaments are already sold out. Well, I believe there will be many more. I also want to believe Starbucks will release other Canadian YAH Ornaments to match all existing full size YAHs. I checked couple stores in Montreal today, but no luck. I still created a separate category for these and gonna keep looking.… Read more
It has been finally reported that Vancouver YAH Ornament hit Starbucks stores. This is the third Ornament in the Canadian series after Canada and Calgary The lace is obviously light blue as it is the same as the inside of the mug.
Interesting note – this mini is only $1 cheaper than regular YAH.
The next mug expected to be found in stores is Toronto. I personally can’t wait for this to happen as I will probably be able to get my hands on it pretty easy.… Read more
