You Are Here – Ireland

What a pleasant Friday release from Starbucks! As per increasing collectors’ demand, You Are Here – Ireland mug is finally here. Obviously featuring:
– Shamrock – the national flower of Ireland. St Patrick used the shamrock’s three leaves to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagans during his mission of Christianizing Ireland. Shamrock is also a symbol of luck, mainly if it has four leaves. It was also an important symbol to the ancient Irish druids who believed that everything important in the world comes in threes, like the three dominions of earth, sky, and sea, as an example.… Read more

You Are Here – Malta

The store is yet to open its doors, however, Starbucks has announced the mug in advance. This is You Are Here Malta, as it appears on Malta Starbucks Facebook page. There is no official release date, but they assure it’s coming soon!
Thanks to vivid colors, this mug looks special. We see the Valletta skyline with Basilica of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on the front of the mug. It is a Roman Catholic church that forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site which includes the entire city.… Read more

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 – Monaco

Apparently, it has been a couple of weeks since the release of You Are Here – Monaco mug. However, it was only spotted two days ago, thanks to a Facebook user. I made my own quick research and can see some photos from April with this mug behind the counter in one of the Starbucks stores in Monaco. There are only two of those in that tiny country; that explains why it has not been seen earlier. The mug is designed using red and gold shades.… 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 – Serbia

Starbucks You Are Here – Serbia is the first mug released for this country. April 16 was the official opening day of the store in Belgrade.

Serbia, located in Southeast Europe on the Balkan Peninsula, is a landlocked country with a rich history and diverse cultural heritage. Belgrade, the capital and largest city, sits at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, serving as a vibrant cultural and economic hub. Serbia has endured a complex history marked by various empires and conflicts, contributing to its diverse architectural styles and traditions.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Switzerland

Here is the second mini mug from the recent weekend release. Starbucks You Are Here Ornament Switzerland is a colorful representative of this adorable series and has everything this country is famous for: cheese, chocolate, watch, lakes, and mountains. And for the latter, designers specifically depicted the Matterhorn, a pyramidal peak between Italy and Switzerland. The four steep faces, rising above the surrounding glaciers, face the four compass points and are split by the Hörnli, Furggen, Leone/Lion, and Zmutt ridges. As for the bear (on the back of the mug), this is probably related to Bern, “city of Bears”.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Austria

It has been a while since the last YAH ornament has been added here. I sincerely believed that Starbucks will be releasing one ornament every Friday. Unfortunately, this didn’t happen, and as an excuse, our beloved company has delivered two minis in one shot last weekend. You Are Here Ornament Austria is one of those. It comes with the blue string and has the same color inside, similar to the bigger mug, Austria YAH. As a reminder, there was also a limited edition ornament for this country.… Read more
