Call The Actual Starbucks Retailer: Although this may come as an obvious tactic to some, it's important that you pull up a list of Starbuck's store in your area. Even if you don't live in a certain area where they have them, you may have a friend who does. When you call, state your name and that you were inquiring to see if they have any Lilly Pulitzer x Starbucks S'well bottle. If they (sadly) report they don't, thank them for their time, and continue your search. If they do in which case congratulations, ask them which pattern they have left. Above is the picture of all the prints and honestly they are all gorgeous no matter which pattern you find. Select your pattern and tell them to place it on hold under your name. If you live locally it won't be a problem of them holding it. However, if you live quite a distance away, ask them to place it on hold until the end of the day and be sure to get it before closing time. Otherwise, they may take it off hold and sell it so someone else.
Go in With A Friend: Personally, this how I found my Lilly Pulitzer x Starbucks S'well bottle. One of my friends used the above method, and was able to purchase the Palm Beach Jungle pattern. However, when she asked if I was looking for one I of course replied with an enthusiastic yes! I called the same Starbucks she placed her's on hold at, and asked them to hold another water bottle under her name. As I mentioned before, they only had the Palm Beach bottle left, however this was my favorite pattern so I was ( and still am ) thrilled! This Starbucks isn't too far away, but a friend picked up both of bottles for us. You don't have to just call though, you can go into that local Starbucks store you pass on the way to work or school. So what does this mean for you? Ask your friend if she is looking for one as well. If so, you both can call and visit stores that are near the both of you. If one of you stumbles upon it, the other will pick up the bottle for the other. Be sure to tell your friend your favorite pattern, or if you don't have a preference. If this is successful, you and a friend now have the bottles!
