Shopping for a last-minute Valentine’s Day gift? The viral Stanley tumbler just dropped in a new colorway — and it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day.

The Stanley Quencher H.20 Tumbler in fuchsia pink was unveiled on Good Morning America on Friday (Feb. 9).

The $45 tumbler will be available at REI from Feb. 9 through March 9.  And if you order it today, there’s a good chance that it’ll arrive in time for Valentine’s Day.

Fuchsia Stanley Quencher H.20 Flowstate Tumbler — 40 fl. oz.

Stanley’s Quencher H.20 is the new star in tumblers. The coveted tumbler has been viral for several months, but the Stanley cup obsession hit a fever pitch over the holiday season, and celebrities seem to be on board. Olivia Rodrigo, Adele and Carrie Underwood are some of the stars who have been spotted with the Stanley cup.

The Stanley Quencher H.20 Tumbler keeps your beverages hot or cold for hours at a time, and iced for up to two days. (It even kept a drink cold in a car fire.)

Made from recycled stainless steel, the 40-ounce tumbler features a double-wall vacuum insulation, a trademarked FlowState screw-on lid; a reusable straw with an ergonomic, easy-to-carry handle and a slender base that slides easily into any car cup holder.

Similar to other limited releases, the hot pink Stanley cup and the cherry red Stanley x Starbucks Tumbler Mug, the fuchsia Stanley Quencher will be available only for a limited time at REI, with a limit of two per customer. If you miss that chance to grab one at REI, you can find the fuchsia Stanley cup at Stanley1913.com.

Stanley cups are also available at several retailers, including Amazon, Nordstrom, Target and Dick’s Sporting Goods, and resale sites such as StockX. Not interested in a Stanley tumbler? See our roundup of Stanley cup alternatives here.

Now, Beatles fans can build their own piece of “rock ‘n’ roll history” with this collectable building set celebrating the 60th anniversary of The Beatles’ first U.S. performance on the variety show.

Walmart

MEGA’s “Ladies and Gentlemen, The Beatles!” set ($79.99) is available in select Walmart stores, online at Walmart.com and on The Beatles’ official website.

The 681-piece set from MEGA, a Canadian toy company owned by Mattel, replicates the “arrows” stage that was specially made for the broadcast and includes four 2-inch posable micro-figures of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, complete with swappable instruments.

The Beatles’ performance on The Ed Sullivan Show launched the “British invasion” and birthed Beatlemania Stateside as the show received more than 50,000 ticket requests for the 728-seat studio. By comparison, Elvis Presley drove more than 7,000 ticket requests for his Ed Sullivan Show debut in 1957.

The Beatles appeared on the show three times in 1964 and several other times over the next four years but stopped performing live on the show in 1966, opting instead for pre-taped performances. The band’s final performance on The Ed Sullivan Show was on March 1, 1970.

SZA gave fans a sneak peek at her new song “Saturn” in a Mastercard commercial that premiered during the 2024 Grammys on Sunday night.

The special performance, from the Grammy House presented by Mastercard, features SZA descending from a vine into an enchanted forest while singing “Saturn,” which will reportedly appear on her forthcoming SOS deluxe album dubbed LANA.

The ad was filmed for Mastercard’s Priceless Planet Coalition promoting forest restoration.

“We’re a force of nature when we come together. That’s why I’m supporting Mastercard on their mission to restore forests around the globe. Join me,” she says at the end of the ad.

Through its Priceless Planet Coalition, Mastercard is on a mission to restore 100 million trees around the world — with help from Lyft and SiriusXM.

From Feb. 4-29, a tree will be planted for the first 500,000 Lyft riders who use U.S. World or World Elite Mastercard to pay for a Lyft ride.

Starting Feb. 7 until March 31, eligible customers who subscribe to SiriusXM’s All Access (app only) plan on siriusxm.com/mastercard will get four months free, plus 10 trees will be planted – and there’s an opportunity for two more trees to be planted for each hour that you listen to the app.

The SiriusXM free trial includes ad-free music curated by genre, podcasts, news coverage, live NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL games and more app-only access. The subscription will renew at $9.99/month after the free trial unless you cancel.

Mastercard also launched an Instagram sweepstakes where cardholders can enter for the chance to win their very own tree seed incorporated in SZA’s performance outfit.

“It takes more than one person or one company to create scaled impact for the planet,” Rustom Dastoor, EVP of Marketing and Communications, Mastercard North America said in a news release sent to Billboard. “Music does more than unite us, it inspires us to take action. Through our GRAMMY Awards campaign, we are merging passion and purpose in a way that, through a major cultural event, rallies people to come together through the power of music to create collective action for the planet.” 

SZA, who performed her hit songs “Kill Bill” and Snooze” at the Grammys, was the most nominated artist at the 66th annual Grammy Awards with nine nods. She took home three Grammys, including best pop duo/group performance, best progressive R&B album and best R&B song, which was presented to her by Lizzo on the telecast.

“Lizzo and I have been friends since 2013 when we were both on a tiny Red Bull tour together opening up in small rooms for like 100 people, and to be on the stage with her is so amazing. I’m so grateful,” she said during her emotional speech. SZA went on to thank her family and record label TDE before admitting to being overwhelmed by the moment. “I came really, really far and I can’t believe this is happening.”
