In my previous post I mentioned there are two new YAH Ornaments released for US. This is the second one – Washington state. Again, I have no idea how Starbucks decides on what they gonna be releasing and when, probably just random. Try to spot them in licensed stores like Hotels or rest areas on highways. … Read more
People with “completed” collections of US Ornament YAHs – there are good news for you. Starbucks is adding two (so far) other minis to their collection. Yes, please make some room for You Are Here Ornament – Denver. This one is obviously a complete copy of it’s bigger brother I am pretty sure these will be available for sale online very soon or for trade through FB groups. Good luck!… Read more
Mother Russia gets another YAH. We had Moscow, we had Moscow Christmas. This time Starbucks releases St. Petersburg. It looks appealing (my opinion only).
I expect this one will be somewhat hard to get for US muggers and shipping might be expensive. I suggest only using UPS, FedEx or something similar rather than Russian Post (just believe me).… Read more
Along with the full size version, Starbucks released Thailand You Are Here Ornament. It is a complete copy of the first, just smaller. Very interesting detail here – the lace is very different from what I’ve seen before on the previous ornaments. Usually, it was a braided round lace and now it’s a flat one! So we can say this ornament is somewhat unique in the series. I believe this is not the only one mug coming from Thailand. Judging by Icons and Relief Series, there should be more.… Read more
Today many FB users reported the release of another YAH from Asia – somewhat expected Thailand You Are Here mug.
Yellow and orange colors are prevailing here. Mug shows some generic buildings and auto rickshaw.
See also Ornament version of this mug. It has an unique feature.… Read more
This new YAH is kind of unexpected one. I am used to Starbucks following Icons when releasing new mugs from You Are Here Series. So far we only have one Icon from Kazakhstan and it is, guess what, the Kazakhstan Icon
So, again, Astana YAH is an interesting move. They placed some architecture elements on the mug as well as some national symbols – Kazah Kalpak (hat) and Kazah Ornament.
I am sure this is the first one from the series for this country and there will be at least another one, Almaty, as there are five Starbucks stores there versus only one in Astana.… Read more
Remember I told you there were three rumored new YAHs from Philippines, but the pics of them looked really bad. Yesterday I’ve added two of them with better pictures (Boracay and Tagaytay) and now it’s time for third one – Baguio. The total amount of Philippines YAHs now reached eight, so I now starting to believe in the total number of fifteen mugs announced (unofficially) on Facebook.
Baguio is situated in northern Luzon (island) and is also known as Summer Capital of the Philippines.… Read more
The sixth YAH from Philippines was spotted in Facebook groups recently. Boracay it is. What is special about this location? It is a really small island in the western part of Philippines, but it is famous for beautiful beaches and relaxing atmosphere. It has received numerous awards from many magazines. White Beach and Bulabog Beach are two main points of attraction on the island. This is obviously why we see beach, ocean and palms on the mug.
I am sure you can buy this mug in any major Philippines airport or you can use the link below to buy online.… Read more
The picture of three new Philippines YAHs leaked on Facebook earlier last week, but the quality of it was so bad I was not sure if this was worth posting. I decided to wait till better photos appear. So here they are, but only two for now – Tagaytay and Boracay.
Tagaytay is a pretty popular touristic destination thanks to it’s cooler climate (higher altitude) and beautiful mountainous views. It is pretty close to Manila and overlooks Taal Lake in Batangas and Taal Volcano Island.… Read more
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
