Been There Star Wars Ornament – Jakku

Star Wars Jakku Ornament is a complete copy of the bigger mug reviewed earlier. This mini mug comes in the box of three ornaments, together with Mustafar and Coruscant.

Jakku, a desolate and unforgiving desert planet is another iconic location in the Star Wars universe. Known for its endless stretches of sandy dunes and abandoned wreckage, Jakku evokes a sense of loneliness and forgotten history. The planet first gained prominence in “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens” as the home of Rey, a resilient and enigmatic scavenger.… Read more

Been There Star Wars Ornament – Coruscant

Star Wars Coruscant Ornament matches the bigger mug, see the full review here.
The string is light purple, and the box is shared with two other ornaments: Jakku and Mustafar.

Coruscant, a dazzling urban planet and the heart of the Star Wars universe, is a sprawling metropolis that epitomizes civilization and power. Towering skyscrapers, bustling speeder-filled streets, and neon-lit districts define its mesmerizing landscape. Coruscant has been prominently featured throughout the Star Wars franchise, serving as the capital of the Galactic Republic in the prequel trilogy and the seat of the Imperial government in the original trilogy.… Read more

Been There Star Wars Ornament – Mustafar

The design of the Star Wars Mustafar Ornament is matching the design of the bigger mug that I reviewed in full earlier. The ornament comes with the orange string and shares the custom box with two other ornaments: Jakku and Coruscant.

Mustafar, a desolate and fiery planet seared by the relentless power of volcanic activity, holds a haunting place in the Star Wars franchise. Introduced in “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith,” Mustafar serves as the backdrop for one of the most tragic and climactic battles in the saga.… Read more

Mainland China Been There ornaments

What you see is the picture of the brand new Been There Ornaments released for Mainland China. There are thirteen cities and one country ornament revealed so far. The city ones match the design and the color palette of the bigger mugs (I reviewed them in my previous post). The country ornament, however, is special in at least two ways. First, there is no matching bigger mug for it, at least for now. And the second distinctive feature is the use of gold colors in the design.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Cebu

And last, but not least out of four Philippines ornaments is Starbucks Been There Ornament Cebu. Cebu province consists of the main island and 167 surrounding islands and islets. Its capital, Cebu City, a.k.a. “the Queen City of the South”, is the oldest city and first capital of the Philippines.
Very much like its full-sized brother, the ornament is featuring a giant Whale Shark on the front. Cebu seems to be a perfect spot to have a swimming/diving tour with these majestic giant animals.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Manila

Starbucks Been There Ornament Manila looks similar to the full-size mug and comes with the red string. Manila is the capital of the Philippines and the most densely populated city proper in the world.
The design of the ornament is dedicated to a great mix of the city’s architecture that shows a wide range of styles from different historical and cultural periods. While browsing the city, you can notice American, Spanish, Chinese, and Malay influences everywhere.
I would like to mention the Rizal Monument (Motto Stella, “guiding star”).… Read more

Been There Ornament – Boracay

Starbucks Been There Ornament Boracay is the second out of four Philippines ornaments released back in 2020. Boracay is a popular touristic destination and I made a review of the bigger mug two years ago.
The design of the ornament is all about the wide range of activities the island of Boracay can offer.
Willy’s Rock is probably the island’s most popular landmark. It is located in shallow waters near the beach and represents a tidal island with a statue of the Virgin Mary on top of steps that are carved into the volcanic rock.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Philippines

Two years ago, I’ve mentioned that as many as seventeen mugs and four ornaments were released for the Pearl of the Orient Sea. And while I reviewed all regular-size mugs back then, the ornaments had to wait for their turn. I am finally able to add all four mini mugs to my collection.
This is Starbucks Been There Ornament Philippines. You can see my review of the bigger the bigger mug here. From what I can see, these two have many common elements, which is not always true for Been There mugs.… Read more
