Peet’s Coffee Ornaments 2009 & 2010

/ lescap / Leave a comment

Peet’s Coffee & Tea began in San Francisco in 1966. They were one of the early introducer’s of dark roasted Arabica coffee.

Peet’s started offering ornaments in 2009. I confirmed this with Peet’s Customer Service Dept. They were so helpful and friendly.  Some of the best Customer Service I’ve had on my whole collecting journey.

So let’s begin on Peet’s Ornament Journey shall we….

2009 South America Stamp Motif Mug

This adorable little mug, was the same as the in store and To Go Cup designs of 2009. This is an Ancient Stamp Motif which depicts a scene with a Dog, Monkey and Star in purple on both sides, with a red ribbon for hanging. This Ancient Stamp is native to South America.  Peet’s is known for using the Ancient Stamp design’s based on locations they obtain their coffee from.

2010 Ceramic Tribal Motif Mug

This year they released 2 ornaments, we got lucky. This was confirmed again by one of Peet’s Buyer’s. This little Ceramic mug is the same as the in store To Go Cups this year.. With a teal tribal stamp boarder along the top and a teal ribbon for hanging

2010 Felt Holiday Blend Coffee Bag

I love this little coffee bag. Peet’s was onto something this year. I think releasing the bag was a wonderful idea for a Coffee House Ornament.  Don’t you agree that the coffee house’s have so many blends, they should start making ornaments of them. I know I do.

Gloria Jean’s Ornament 2012, 2013 & 2014

/ lescap / Leave a comment

When I started searching for Gloria Jean’s Coffee Ornament’s I was really unsure if I would even find 1. But I did, and I’m not 100% sure they were ever sold in the USA. I did find more information from Australia blogs and Gloria Jean’s Coffee Australia site.

I contacted Gloria Jean’s Coffee and I did not receive a reply. I really thought I would get great information from them directly. So I was disappointed they did not acknowledge my Coffee House Ornament journey. But that’s alright, I like a good challenge. They did one ornament each year from what I’ve seen. So here we go….

Update: 11/21/2015: **If anyone has an extra one they are looking to get rid of, please contact me, I’d be interested**

2012 Ceramic Holiday To Go Cup

This was the only image online I could find and it was published in 2012, so I am assuming this is the first. It appears to be a ceramic ornament as in the next 2 years. It is a little plain but it is non the less cute with it’s white twinkling stars.

2013 Fair Isle Holiday Dove To Go Cup

How adorable is this ceramic mug. The holiday’s don’t feel complete without Fair Isle flare. Gloria Jean’s did another ceramic mug this year and it the classic red.

2014 Friendship Holiday To Go Cup

This Christmas, the limited edition ornament was colored in red yet again with beautiful script featuring the words “Friendship” and “Celebrate the sharing season”. This festive ornament is the perfect gift for your coffee loving best friend.

2014 GJ Red To Go Cup Ornament

All 3 years they were all packaged in a solid red box shown in 2013’s photo. They all seemed to price at $9.95 each. I’m hoping to get one for 2015 this year and start collecting this brand as well.

Dunkin Donuts Ornaments 2014

So this year’s mix was a pleasant combo. It has a little bit of everything one can love about the holiday’s. So let’s see what 5 styles they gave us this year shall we?

2014 Dunkin Donuts Ball Ornament

Dunkin went with a classic Christmas ball look on this one. I love the pink and white colors. And I especially love the white snowy accents. Dunkin sent me this one when I contacted them about the ornament list.

2014 DD Ball Ornament

2014 Dunkin Donuts To Go Box of Donuts

This ornament is a yummy open box of donuts. Dunkin stayed with the standard box for this ornament. Although I would have liked to seen the Holiday box version on the ornament, this one still makes me smile.  You will find some where the paint job is not the best, so remember to check all images online when bidding or buying.

2014 Ugly Sweater Ornament

This really is an ugly sweater but what an AMAZING Ornament idea. I absolutely love it. A red knit sweater with green knit trim, and embroidered with snowflakes, pines, a Dunkin To Go cup and a snowman head. The green plastic hanger is perfect to hang the sweater on your tree

2014 Donut Snoman Ornament

This is a mix item ornament, we have a classic coconut donut body, with a coconut munchkin head, and Dunkin colored straws for arms. This Dunkin Snowman is adorned with a black top hat, red and green scarf, and JOY across his tummy. This ornament is hung with a green ribbon and packaged in a clear plastic box

2014 Snowman Ornament

2014 Retro Dunkin Donuts Snowglobe

This ornament is a throw back to the Retro Dinkie Mascot. I love the pink ornament with retro Dinkie inside in his classic pose. It is hard to find one that has the base logo applied correctly. Alot of the times it will be a little tilted but still a great addition to the 2014 collection

2014 Retro DD Snow Globe

This year’s list of 2014 Ornament’s will bring me to end of my Dunkin Donuts post, until the new release of this year’s for 2015. I don’t know about you guys, but I am excited to see what they have in store for us this holiday season.

Dunkin Donuts Ornaments 2013

/ lescap / 2 Comments

2013’s mix of new and previous year ornaments made me very confused in my searches, and boy a headache to boot.

2013 White Ceramic Mug

How cute is this white ceramic mug with the Dunkin logo and blue satin ribbon.

This is a very rare ornament. I have yet to see anyone want to part with one on Ebay. So this one might be worth paying alittle more for. This came packaged in a clear tube with blue base.

2013 Dunkin Store Snow Globe Ornament

The second in the Snow Globe series is lacking in quality compared to the 2012 style. The new store style set inside the globe displayed in it’s neutral tan, brown and orange tones.

It appears these are hand painted because you will find some online which just look a mess. So be careful when bidding to check all the photos closely and try to get one as neat as possible

2013 Munchkin Box Ornament

This is a plastic molded Munchkin Box that has the America Runs on Dunkin slogan and icons. And Embossed with Dunkin Donuts Logo on the sides with pink ribbon. I wish they would do another Holiday Munchkin Box, finger’s crossed this may be the year 🙂

They also sold in some locations, the following from previous years:

These were sold as overstock items and put out with the 2013 ornaments in some states

This concludes the 2013 and some previous year ornaments collection.

Dunkin Donuts Ornaments 2011 & 2012

/ lescap / Leave a comment

2011 and 2012 were big years for the Ornaments. These are some of the most popular and sought after styles. A lot of them you can find on Ebay, but be careful, some can be very overpriced.

2011 Dunkin Cold Cup Ornament

This cold cup is my DD Favorite.  Made of clear plastic complete with orange straw. One side has Iced Coffee and the other the Dunkin Donuts logo. It has a pink satin ribbon hanger. Packaged in a cardboard open side custom package.

2012 Chocolate Frosted Sprinkle Donut

The yummy shiny Chocolate Sprinkled Donut looks scrumptious. This is a small plastic donut hung with a pink satin ribbon and decorated with red and green sprinkles. Packaged in clear box

2012 Chocolate Frosted Donut loose   2012 Chocolate Frosted Donut2

2012 Strawberry Frosted Sprinkle Donut

Same as the Chocolate but instead has confetti sprinkles and a cardboard open packaging. I’m on a hunt for this one, but so far no such luck. Hopefully some will pop up this fall on Ebay.

2012 Dunkin Store Snow Globe Ornament

This was the first time a Snow Globe was presented as an ornament from any coffee house. I thought this was a great new ornament idea. Inside the globe we have a DD miniature store. Orange top and base with white Dunkin Donuts logo and pink ribbon.

When you buy these online the glue that holds the top hanger on it can detach.  It can easily be re-attached with bonding agent.

This Snow Globe was also sold in 2013 at some locations. If they had many from the previous year they also sold them the following year!

2012 “What Are You Drinkin'” To Go Cup

The catch phrase started in 2012 if I remember correctly. This cute little plastic To Go Cup has a clear package that shows the Dunkin Logo and on the other side the phrase “What Are You Drinkin’?” and completed with the pink ribbon

2011 & 2012 were the year’s I think the coffee house ornament craze began. People such as myself, started there collections by this time and started to create a demand.
