Been There Ornament – Shanghai Limited Edition

I’ve already mentioned the release of the limited-edition Shanghai mug and ornament in an earlier post. The collection appears to be tied to the opening of the Bearista Town pop-up store and museum in Shanghai. As an avid ornament collector, I simply couldn’t pass up the opportunity, so I ordered the Been There Ornament Shanghai Limited Edition, which arrived yesterday. My first impression? It looks even better in person. The combination of rich chocolate-brown and gold tones gives it a premium feel that immediately sets it apart from other ornaments in the series.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Brasil

Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Brasil is one of the many mini mugs released across Latin America. Brazil had never received an ornament before, with the closest equivalent being the demi-sized Icon series. As seen on the mug, the title is written in Portuguese, reflecting a common trend in which most of the new releases feature the destination’s local language.

Brazil is the largest country in South America, known for its immense biodiversity, energetic culture, world-famous festivals, and deep passion for music and sport.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Serbia

Thanks to a friend, I can add this You Are Here Ornament Serbia to my collection and, for now, conclude this series. I made a very short post about the larger mug exactly seven years ago, so I guess this is a good opportunity to revisit the design in greater detail now.

Serbia is a country shaped by centuries of history, strong cultural traditions, and diverse landscapes ranging from mountain ranges to historic cities along the Danube River. Positioned at the crossroads of Central and Southeastern Europe, Serbia blends Roman heritage, medieval influences, and modern Balkan identity.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Iceland

A blog reader recently shared photos of the Starbucks You Are Here Iceland ornament with me, so a big thank you goes out to him. Like the bigger mug, this 2oz ornament will probably not be easy to track down, especially outside the country. Still, this is the part that makes collecting fun, and I will definitely be keeping an eye on online listings because this one deserves a place in my collection.

Even in the smaller ornament format, the Iceland design manages to capture many of the countrys most recognizable natural and cultural symbols without feeling overcrowded.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Crait

Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Crait is an ornament for a mineral planet in the Star Wars universe, most notably featured in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Once home to a Rebel Alliance outpost, the planet later became a hidden base for the Resistance. Its stark white surface, layered over deep red mineral deposits, creates one of the most visually striking landscapes in the saga. The abandoned facilities and remote location made it an ideal place for secrecy and last stands.

The design highlights several recognizable elements from Crait, capturing its harsh environment and key moments from the story.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Hong Kong Disneyland

Here is some exciting news from Hong Kong! As the new collection rolls out across Asia, I’ve spotted a brand-new release from a Disney-themed park. Interestingly, the Discovery Series Ornament Hong Kong Disneyland is being revealed before any other city or country mug or ornament from this region. As for the design, I’m slightly disappointed that Starbucks didn’t use a custom color for the circle on the front of the ornament, similar to what was done for the Disney releases in the US.… Read more
