Discovery Series – Toronto

Discovery Series – Toronto is a mug for Canada’s dynamic metropolis, where global culture, iconic skylines, and vibrant neighborhoods come together on the shores of Lake Ontario.

Toronto’s origins trace to 1793 when Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe established the town of York as Upper Canada’s capital. The city grew slowly until the mid-1800s, when railway construction and immigration transformed it into Canada’s commercial center, officially becoming Toronto in 1834. The 20th century brought waves of immigration – initially from Europe, then from around the globe following liberalized immigration policies in the 1960s – creating one of the world’s most multicultural cities.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Toronto

The Discovery Series Ornament Toronto was one of the first mini mugs from this series that I got. I have time to finally post it here.

Toronto is one of Canada’s most dynamic cities, shaped by Indigenous heritage, British colonial roots, and waves of immigration that helped turn it into a global cultural and economic center. Originally known as York in the late 18th century, the city grew rapidly with the expansion of railways, industry, and trade along Lake Ontario.

Here are some of the elements of the design, featuring attractions and sections of the park:

Been There – Toronto

There were some fears that the new Been There series is just a hoax. Well, probably not, since I’ve just discovered two new pics of the new collection. Even though these are of a very low quality it makes me believe these new mugs are real.
As we can see it really looks like hand drawn design, imagine it was a kid drawing it. I can tell you right away, the initial reaction of muggers is definitely not positive, but let’s see what it looks like in real life, it’s too early to judge.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Toronto

I was monitoring Facebook groups recently and it has been just reported that Toronto YAH Ornament had been finally spotted in stores. I don’t know which exact store got them first, but it appears that these Ornaments are already sold out. Well, I believe there will be many more. I also want to believe Starbucks will release other Canadian YAH Ornaments to match all existing full size YAHs. I checked couple stores in Montreal today, but no luck. I still created a separate category for these and gonna keep looking.… Read more
