Discovery Series Ornament – Oahu

Posted on

From what I’ve observed, Starbucks has released a wide array of mugs and ornaments dedicated to Hawaii, with the Discovery Series Ornament – Oahu being one of them.

Oʻahu, often referred to as “The Gathering Place,” holds a central role in the history of Hawaiʻi. As the third largest and most populous of the Hawaiian Islands, it has long been a cultural and political hub. Ancient Hawaiian chiefs ruled over the island for centuries before it became the site of pivotal moments in the archipelago’s modern history.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Saskatchewan

Posted on

How about a tiny Discovery Series Ornament – Saskatchewan for a Canadian province whose history is deeply rooted in the land and the people who have shaped it for thousands of years. Long before it became a province in 1905, Indigenous nations such as the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, and Nakota thrived across the plains, developing rich cultures and deep connections to the land. The arrival of European fur traders in the 18th century brought dramatic change, as Saskatchewan became a key part of the fur trade network.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Beijing

Posted on

Been There Ornament – Beijing is a mini mug for a city that is more than China’s capital – it’s a city layered with centuries of memory, culture, and quiet surprises. Beyond the towering government buildings and gleaming business districts lies a network of ancient hutongs: narrow alleys lined with grey brick homes, fluttering laundry, and the smell of breakfast steaming in bamboo baskets.

Each alley tells a different story – of revolution and poetry, of neighbors who’ve shared the same courtyard for generations.… Read more

Here comes Discovery Series Ornament – Miami from a vibrant coastal city in Florida.

Miami’s history is shaped by indigenous roots, pioneering settlers, and waves of immigration. Originally home to the Tequesta people for over a thousand years, the area began to change in the 19th century when settlers arrived and the U.S. Army built Fort Dallas during the Second Seminole War. The city’s growth accelerated in 1896 when Julia Tuttle, often called the “Mother of Miami,” convinced Henry Flagler to bring his railroad south, leading to Miami’s incorporation.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Detroit

Posted on

Here is the mini mug for the “Motor City.” I really like the purple color inside the Discovery Series Ornament – Detroit. I only wish the string matched the same color. Unfortunately, all Discovery ornaments come with a green string.

Detroit, founded in 1701 by French explorer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, has a rich and complex history that reflects the broader American story of industry, innovation, and resilience. Originally a fur trading post, the city grew into a major industrial hub in the early 20th century, earning the nickname “Motor City” as the birthplace of the modern automotive industry.… Read more
