Another Pink Stanley Cup Is Dropping Just In Time For Valentine's Day
Here’s a last-minute option for anyone who missed the viral Target tumbler.
If you thought the rush of shoppers was gone after Christmas, you thought wrong. TikToks of Target guests racing to grab limited-edition Stanley Valentine’s Day cups the second they’re placed on the shelves have gone viral on the FYP, and the collection — which started rolling out Dec. 31 in stores and on Target.com — has now sold out almost everywhere. If you missed your chance to get one of these elusive Stanley Cups, you might be one of the many hoping for a restock.
Fans who weren’t able to find the cups at their stores have taken to X, formerly Twitter, to ask Target when another drop might happen and share their predictions. One TikToker was so confident the cups would return to shelves that they said they were planning on skipping the crowds. One Target employee Kaitlin Sondae’s TikTok showing off the Stanley Valentine’s Day collection, they commented, “Ima just wait till they restock cause u cannot tell me that brand is not gonna come out with more.”
However, another user predicted that people who missed out were out of luck based on past Stanley drops, saying, “Stanley takes soo long to restock Target sometimes, so you can’t chance it missing out on a released color that you love. It may not return.”
Unfortunately, the last theory is true — the Valentine’s Day Stanley Cup collection will not be restocked. A spokesperson from Target tells Elite Daily the Valentine’s Day Stanley cups were only available while supplies last, so if you haven’t been able to find a pink or red Stanley Cup in your Target, it’s likely you won’t at all. But, Stanley is releasing its 2024 Annual Color Palette collection on Feb. 13, which includes another pink cup for collectors.
The 2024 Stanley Cup Collection Will Be Restocked Throughout The Year
If you missed out on Target’s Valentine’s Day Stanley Quenchers, you still have one more chance to get your partner a pink cup for Feb. 14. The day before, aka Galentine’s Day, Stanley will be releasing its 2024 color collection. The eight new shades of 40-ounce Stanley Quenchers include Blue Spruce, Lilac, Azure, Mist, Tigerlily Plum, Plum, Fuchsia, and Pomelo. The Fuchsia is perfect for pink lovers, and looks to be almost the exact same shade as the viral Starbucks Stanley Cup that sold out in January.
According to Stanley’s Instagram account, the collection will be dropping on its official website Feb. 13. No need to worry if you miss this first chance to grab another pink cup, because Stanley will be “restocking these colors all year long” as well.
The Pink Starbucks x Stanley Cup Is Now Being Resold For Over $350
Regular Stanley cups have their share of hype, but the Valentine’s Day collection at Target was especially eye-catching. In particular, fans were loving the $50 shimmery pink Starbucks x Stanley Quencher in Target’s collection. The special 40-ounce pink collab cup, which was sold exclusively in Starbucks stores at Target locations starting Jan. 3, even had some guests like TikToker @vincentmarcus camping out overnight to buy it. Resellers are now selling it for around $350 on eBay.
You could splurge to get the Stanley Cup from a reseller if you really want it. However, Target says that guests can look forward to more Stanley items in 2024 that include “new colors, prints, and collaborations with exciting brands,” so there may be another cup you want to save your money for next time.
After all, the Starbucks and Stanley Cup collabs are always a popular item. Along with their holiday merch collection, Starbucks released a limited-edition red Stanley Quencher in November 2023 that sold out quickly as well and also ended up being resold online for hundreds of dollars. The best way to get your hands on Starbucks’ next Stanley Quencher is to stay on top of their releases. Once you know when a new cup will be arriving in stores, be among the first people there when Target opens.
Other Stanley Quenchers That Are Perfect For Valentine’s Day
Of course, if your goal is just to get a cute Stanley Quencher in your favorite color, there are plenty of non-Starbucks Valentine’s Day versions on their website right now. For pink lovers, they have a Blush Gloss Deco 40-ounce Quencher for $50, and for those looking for a Valentine’s Day gift to get their partner, the Rosewood Glow 40-ounce Quencher is gorgeous and just $45. There are also other cute cups from Starbucks’ 2024 Valentine’s Day collection that are still on sale at Starbucks stores.
What’s Still Available Of 2024’s Starbucks Valentine’s Day Merch Is Also Cop-Worthy
Stanley Quenchers may be the “it girl” cup of the season, but don’t sleep on the rest of Starbucks’ Valentine’s Day merch. The pink and blue 24-ounce Gradient Cold Cup ($23), which went on sale Jan. 3, is just as pretty as the Valentine’s Day Stanley and Starbucks cup. The color palette is inspired by candy hearts, but isn’t too Valentine’s Day specific, so you can keep using it throughout the year.
If you’d rather have something that does channel V-Day energy, the 24-ounce Hydrangeas and Hearts Cold Cup ($25) is decked out in a floral, heart motif. It even has a heart-shaped straw topper. While the other cold cup is available at most Starbucks stores, this one is exclusively at Target locations.
Also at Target, you’ll find a 14-ounce floral mug ($17) that’s great to pair with your partner’s favorite bag of coffee for a V-Day gift. There’s also a set of six color-changing and heart-adorned reusable 16-ounce cups for just $20. If you buy a pack, give one cup to each person in your friend group as a Valentine’s or Galentine’s Day present.
The Starbucks Valentine’s Day collection also includes an ombre glass 20-ounce water bottle with pink hearts that you can find at Starbucks stores in grocery stores, hospitals, and universities. If none of these are calling your name, there are more Starbucks and Target collabs to come. So, the Stanley love isn’t going anywhere in 2024.
