Starbucks Target - New Collection

I came across these new mugs and tumblers at a Target Starbucks recently, and they are all so cute!  I especially love the ones for the Year of the Rat - Starbucks usually has cute designs like this for non-US stores, so it was a fun surprise to see these.  

And of course I had to get the Valentine's Day version of the glass handle mug, with tiny little heart "sprinkles" inside the handle - too cute! Be sure to check out both standalone Starbucks and in-store Starbucks locations as they have different designs available!
