You Are Here Ornament – International Collection
You Are Here Ornament – Japan 5 Fall Edition
You Are Here Ornament – Japan 5 – Fall Edition is a little cute mug which is accompanying the bigger one. These two are going to be available in stores just in two days – on August 30. I wish I was in Japan now, to snatch a pair of these for my collection. I bet drinking your favorite beverage from these Autumn themed mugs as nights are getting longer is twice as tastier.

You Are Here Ornament – Scotland
It was just yesterday that I wondered if there were any new releases on Friday, as it usually happens, and voila, someone reveals a picture of You Are Here Ornament – Scotland today. Here’s the link to the bigger mug for comparison.
“Nessie”, Loch Ness Monster, is still there as an essential part of the local folklore.
I would also like to mention the Great Highland bagpipe on the other side of the mug. Interesting enough, while when we think of bagpipe, we remember Scotland, it came from Spain in the 15th century.… Read more
You Are Here Ornament – Japan 4 Summer Collection
You Are Here Ornament – Japan 4 Summer Collection is coming right after its bigger brother. The string is green as well as the inside of the mini mug.
As I promised in the previous post, I am going to talk about the remaining elements of the design of this set.
On the side of the ornament, right after the sailboat, we see three slices of watermelon. And this is not just your average fruit, but Japanese watermelons. Let me tell you why they are so special, they are much sweeter than those found in the other parts of the world.… Read more
You Are Here Ornament – England
It became a tradition for Starbucks to release something on Friday and here it comes – Starbucks You Are Here Ornament England. I have a full review of the bigger mug, check it out. And as for ornament, I would like to mention the blue string, the same as the inside of the mug.… Read more
You Are Here Ornament – France
Starbucks made us wait quite a while for this cutie. There is no definitive answer whether You Are Here Ornament – France hit the stores or not. The picture you’re seeing is coming from eBay and some people report being able to buy it in Paris. This uncertainty should not stop real collectors from hunting this mini mug down. Am I right, guys? If you happen to get it, please share your findings in comments.

You Are Here Ornament – Italy
There are only two stores in Italy, nonetheless, Starbucks introduced the mini version of the previously released mug. Here’s the photo of You Are Here Ornament Italy, which has been spotted today in Milan. As far as I remember, they only sell mugs in the store, other than Reserve (correct me if I am wrong in the comments). Keep that in mind, when visiting Milan. On a similar note, it is always a good idea to call the store in advance to check the availability of mugs and ornaments.… Read more
You Are Here Ornament – Belgium
I really expected You Are Here Ornament – Belgium to be released earlier since Belgium was one of 10 Holiday Edition ornaments released last Christmas. Well, better late than never!
This mini mug has a green string and apart from being a copy of a bigger Belgium YAH, resembles Brussels. It features a row of historic houses of different colors on the front and the Museum of the City of Brussels (located in the Maison du Roi (King’s House) or Broodhuis (Breadhouse)) on the side.… Read more
You Are Here Ornament – Hungary
There were some rumors that this mini mug is coming, but I only believe when I see it.
Here’s the picture of You Are Here Ornament – Hungary which is ready to hit the stores soon. Similar to his bigger brother, Hungary YAH, it has these points of interest:
– Nine-holed Bridge – the longest road stone bridge in historic Hungary.
– The Nonius – a Hungarian horse breed generally dark in color.
– Hungarian Grey a.k.a. Hungarian Steppe cattle
– Hungarian wax pepper
– Wine grape, which symbolizes the rich history of winemaking in Hungary.… Read more
You Are Here Ornament – Ba Na Hills
With the release of the regular YAH mug for Ba Na Hills comes his little brother You Are Here Ornament – Ba Na Hills. It could be seen on the pictures from Starbucks Facebook page earlier, but the quality of the photo was so poor, that I didn’t dare to post it here. Now, thanks to a collector, we have clear evidence that it exists. It has a blue string and can only be purchased in the Starbucks store in Ba Na Hills resort.… Read more
