I was not expecting this to happen today, but our Lemonade Stand artists (Auberon for all the beverages and snacks, Ilmarinen for the hippocampi) are so thirsty for maps & avatars they decided to help us end the fundraiser with a bang, and brewed up some BONUS collectors items for our last 14 days!
They have been watching the comments on fundraiser posts this whole time, and drew inspiration for these bonuses from your enthusiasm.
As a result, we ended up with some bonus items that weren't originally planned to be part of the fundraiser, but that we hope you'll love and will close us out strong! 
Let's meet the new drink line-up:
Behold the Pinktastic dream drink, for sipping while living your best life! We've got TWO new Boba Teas -- Taro Boba and Sweet Surprise Boba! These delicious teas are happy to see you, and ready to round out your collection of Bobas. We've got TWO new cappuccino varieties that can be obtained by using that silver spoon on a cup of cappuccino: Tentacle Mug, and the "Crappuccino." Mmmn, doesn't that coffee smell delicious? And welcoming an entirely new sort of drink, we've got THREE deliciously aesthetic milkshakes!
If you don't want to leave anything up to random spoon chance, you can also grab ALL the just released lemonade stand items as one big bundle, including the two new c(r)appuccinos.

And like come on, look how cute it is. I'm convinced y'all are gonna turn out to love this one. Fingers crossed you prove me right!

Auberon: I'm so glad you approved my idea for the celestial mug, it looks like people love it!
Kim: I LOVE SPACE so there was no question, but honestly, I don't think there is any idea for cappuccino varieties you could have told me you were interested in drawing that I wouldn't have immediately approved.
Mod team: Challenge accepted... It's poop themed.
Kim: Does Auberon want to draw it?
Auberon: lololol yes
Kim: Approved.
Mod team: Oh!

Finally, a bonus hippocampus variety! This one is a more wild horse variety - a zebra! Harder to tame but a loyal companion once you've proven yourself worthy of loyalty, these black/grey/white/purple beauties are an exciting and unexpected addition to the hippocampus herd.
Complete your Lemonade Stand collections ASAP and help us reach our goal!
Counting today, there are 14 days left in the Lemonade Stand fundraiser. Our last day will be September 5th. Thank you so much for all your support!

Hi...uh, I love this, I just wish I had more money to give for them all (my soul is weeping right now).
Is the new Hippocampus going to be a sticker? Because if so.....I need to request some changes.

That zebra is now mine.

Heh, I happened to mention to Illmarinen that the hippocampus is technically the official animal of the ace community (something I learned years ago from AVEN, though much as garlic bread has become much more popular than cake, dragons proved much more popular than hippocampi, so don't ever really hear about it), and they got all excited and shady, so... yes, the zebra hippocampus is absolutely ace-themed. 
Dang, that Hippo just became my fave, but I can't spend anymore. T.T
I'm not going to lie but for a second, I almost mistake the cappuccino with the octopus as a sushi roll. My bad but good work for the artists!
Got my zebra 
There is so much of these that I want, but I gotta say that hippocampus just sky-rocketed to my second favorite. The color scheme hits home (asexual speaking!), and I love that it's deemed the wild one of the bunch as well.
I have a lot to catch up on with these. Here's to hoping I can manage to swing it!
Thank you so much to the artists for bringing more amazing pieces to the table to get this avatar and maps thing flyin'!

the moment I noticed the boba bundle changed from "all 5" to just "5" I was suspicious
more boba... kinda-ace-pride-themed hippocampus... space milkshake... aaaaa
I get paid tomorrow. *rubs hands together greedily*
It is at this point I wish I had money ðŸ˜
They all look so amazing! The art team did such a nice job!

Excellent job to the artists for blowing our minds (and wallets) yet again!
