starbucks mugs

As anyone else who loves design would agree-Starbucks does a darn good job of designing classic pieces for their mug collection... especially their annual Valentine's Day collection. Every year, I cannot WAIT to see their new designs...

 The first two mugs, I used to own... my favorite mugs I have ever owned. Somehow they got lost... probably sometime that one year that I moved 5 times.

I picked this one up last year for my bff from home Erica, after I had promised she would be my 2010 Valentine. I packed it in with packs of Starbucks Via and a bag of coffee.

 

This one is part of the 2011 Valentine's Day collection that I picked up today with a gift card from Christmas. The back has "love" written in cursive. My newest favorite mug that brings warm, fuzzy, sparkly feelings to my heart. 

My mom gave me this mug for Christmas this year. It's currently the one I use at work- it's ceramic, so it keeps my beverage of choice warm for a while. I love the damask!

I would give anything to get my hands on the white one with pink letters (or the first one again that says "kiss me"... I'd love to have that one back). I absolutely love love love this one though... it's so pretty!

I don't know what it is about Starbucks' mugs... but man alive, they are one of my favorite things ever. It's the little things. :)
