Just when I thought I was done with my YAH ornaments collection, a friend sent me a picture of a mini mug I didn’t recognize. It took me a second to realize – it’s a brand-new release! I even had to check the calendar to make sure it’s 2025 out there!
As you can expect, You Are Here Ornament – Warsaw is a complete copy of the bigger mug that was released back in 2018. This is a common practice for this collection.… Read more
After months of waiting, I finally got my hands on the new Starbucks You Are Here Ornament – Baku. This latest release could very well be the final addition to the beloved series, making it even more special for collectors.
I very much like the design of this new ornament. It uses a beautiful mix of light blue, pink, and green colors that feel both fresh and nostalgic. The ornament is a miniature replica of the full-sized Baku mug I reviewed previously, keeping the same iconic imagery that defines the city:
– The Fire Temple, or Ateshgah, stands proudly on the outskirts, capturing Baku’s ancient connection to fire worship.… Read more
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
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
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
I almost forgot I added this to my collection earlier. Starbucks You Are Here Ornament – Phu Quoc is the ninth mini YAH from Vietnam. I made a full review of the bigger mug here, and the ornament is a complete copy of it.
With that being said, my Starbucks You Are Here Ornaments collection is concluded, for now…
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.
