First Look: Starbucks Planner 2018

First of all, I would like to thank Starbucks Philippines for having the double stickers promo for 3 consecutive days. Super effort lang talaga ang gumising ng umaga. Hindi kasi ako morning person, the promo starts from 9 AM to 12 NN. Aga! Lol.

Anyway, when I was diagnosed with Vertigo, I avoided coffee kasi nakakacontribute siya ng hilo sa akin. So, nahirapan ako for 3 years na para makabuo ng 18 stickers for the planner.

By the way, I am collecting SB Planner since 2009, I believe that time, yung panahon na kailangan ko ang coffee because I was working on graveyard shift, I was managing BPO accounts so pang-gabi talaga siya. And also, I can afford na to buy SB drinks since I am working na that time. Haha.  Maybe I will make a new blog for my SB Planner collection.

OK. Back to the topic. SB Planner started last Nov. 2, and today, as of writing, Nov. 16, nakabuo na ako ng planner.  This is the fastest period for me to redeem a planner. Normally, January ko pa natatapos yung Christmas Card for the stickers. Because of the Double Stickers promo, at pangungulit sa aking pamangkin to join me for SB sesh (She is a coffee addict by the way, Hi Tania!), natapos ko siya.

So, excited ako to open the new SB Planner.

SB Planner 2018 Package Box

Maganda ung box, so if you are collecting, okay kasi alam mong safe yung planner mo sa loob.

Leather Case, Planner 2018, Calendar and Stencil

This planner is a big one. Since it is for collection, biggest size talaga yung kinukuha ko. Quality of the planner is the same as last year. Medyo disappointed ako, just like last year na sobrang nipis ng paper na siya. Hindi siya bagay for me kasi madiin ako magsulat. 

The leather case is nice. Manipis din pero overall okay naman. May naka tatak na Starbucks logo and the name, hindi siya basta basta leather case lang.

Limited Edition SB Card (Exclusive for Planner Holder only) 

Special Edition of "Pilipinas" SB Card 

Starbucks Philippines announced as well that they promo when you activate and register the included SB card from the planner on January 1 to January 31, 2018. You will get a chance to win one of the 20 winners of 365 SB drinks for a year. Coffee Overload yun mga besh!

The design or the theme of the planner carried throughout the end even the design of month page. Parang doodle ang design and they use pastel colors, parang painting ang dating. Check out below picture.

 Of course, hindi mawawala ang mga coupons. So far so good. Almost the same coupons last year. Naiba lang ata is yung 20% off for merchandize, naging You Are Here Water Bottle na lang ang promo nila for 20%. Sad.

Syempre, as per Starbucks " With your redeemed planner, comes a donation to our partner NGOs in cultivating change, one planner at a time."

I believe it is the same NGOs last year, the Teach for the Philippines (TFP) and Philippine Education Theater Association (PETA)

Ito rin ung nagustuhan ko kaya naging panata ko na siya every year. Hindi lang siya basta collection, I also contribute to these two NGOs that change the world in their own ways. So Kudos sa inyo.

O siya. tulog na ako.
