You’ve likely seen a yellow bear in a distinct red shirt and a lovable round tummy as a plush, on various T-shirts, and even on mugs stocked at various toy stores, and even at local pasar malams. That’s Winnie the Pooh, a character from a collection of short stories published by English author A. A. Milne in 1926.
The ten interconnected stories follow Christopher Robin and his playtime adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood, with companions Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, and Roo.

For those who are big on beverages, the Starbucks x Winnie the Pooh merch lineup includes an array of stainless steel tumblers and drinkware embellished with honey motifs and characters from the Hundred Acre Wood. There’s a ceramic mug adorably shaped like a beehive, and a glass tumbler with a honey dipper stick as a straw.

And if you’re a fan of Winnie the Pooh and the rest of the Hundred Acre Wood crew, there are also Bearista phone straps featuring Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger, and a similar Bearista plush that can be dressed in clothes that bring to mind the same characters.
Fans can also look forward to a Winnie the Pooh-themed reusable tote bag that folds neatly into a matching pouch, making it a handy companion for shopping trips and everyday outings.
Prices for the items have yet to be announced, but stay tuned with us for updates.
