So happy I was able to score this! 🩷
Here are some of the secrets I use to score whenever there is a Stanley drop for Target!
My first hit would be to figure out what time the release is going to be and what time zone you are. In my area I am eastern standard time so the cup drops at 3 AM for me. I always watch the clock at 2:59 AM on the dot so that I can place my order immediately. I have the website pulled up already, and my card information uploaded also unlock my card in the app lol from there as soon as it hits 3 a.m. I refresh the website, pick up in store and process my payment.
In my area, the target workers start doing their pick up orders about 30 minutes before they open. Essentially, I like to think that I am among one of the first people to order that cup for pick up and so it’s fairly easy for me to score. I almost always get the notification on my phone 30 minutes before my store opens that it is ready for pick up.
Once again, this is what works for me in my area. I can’t speak for everyone else. I do hope these tips help you out with your future scores 🩷🫶🏾

You know, the thrill of finally getting your hands on a highly coveted Stanley cup is just unmatched! Especially when it's one of those beautiful, limited-edition colors like the Strawberry Shortcake Stanley. I totally get why so many of us are on the hunt for these. That soft pink, almost pastel hue, often associated with Valentine's Day drops, just makes it extra special and a must-have for collectors and everyday users alike. It’s not just a cup; it’s a statement piece, perfect for 'All Day Hydration' whether you’re at work, school, or hitting the gym. My initial tips focus on the general strategy for Target drops, but when it comes to something as sought-after as the Strawberry Shortcake or other special edition Stanley Flowstate H2.0 Quencher Tumblers, you need to elevate your game even further. Let me share a few more layers to help you conquer these ultra-popular releases, especially for that 20 ounce | .59 L size that everyone seems to want! First off, beyond having your payment and website ready, consider using multiple devices. I've had success having my laptop open to the Target website and my phone ready with the Target app. Sometimes one loads faster or crashes less than the other during a high-traffic drop. It gives you a backup and doubles your chances. Make sure both are logged in and ready to go! Secondly, join online communities. Seriously, this is a game-changer. There are dedicated Facebook groups, Reddit threads, and even specific Instagram accounts that track Stanley drops. These communities often share insider tips about exact drop times, potential restocks, and even store-specific availability. For a color like the Strawberry Shortcake Stanley, these alerts can be invaluable for that split-second advantage. You might even hear about a surprise restock hours after the initial drop. Another thing I've learned is to check for product page variations. Sometimes, stores like Target will have different product pages for the same item, or they might relist it if stock is added. If the original link shows 'out of stock,' don't give up immediately. Do a quick search on Target's site for 'Stanley Quencher H2.0' and the specific color name, or even just 'Valentine's Day Stanley' – you might uncover a hidden listing that still has stock. This is particularly true for those 'limited edition Valentine's Day 20 ounce Stanley quencher' items. And what if you miss it? Don't despair! I've been there. Sometimes, Target will do rolling restocks throughout the day. It’s not common, but it happens, especially in the early morning hours after the initial drop. So, if you weren't successful at 3 AM, check back periodically for the next few hours. Also, keep an eye on your local store's inventory on the app; while my strategy focuses on pick-up, sometimes a few might appear for in-store purchase later in the day. Finally, a word of caution: be wary of third-party resellers charging exorbitant prices. While tempting, it's often more rewarding (and budget-friendly!) to stick to official channels and utilize these strategies. With a little persistence and these added tips, you significantly boost your chances of scoring that beautiful Strawberry Shortcake Stanley or any other dream Stanley Flowstate H2.0 Quencher Tumbler you've been eyeing!
