Product Review: Starbucks 2014 Planner + Giveaway!
1/08/2014 09:51:00 AM
I've been using Starbucks' planners since the company started producing one. Some only see them as crazy-expensive notebooks and would opt for the more affordable counterparts in bookstores. This item became such a fad that every single year I hear people saying a single planner would cost around Php3000 (almost $70) worth of coffee/drinks with hopes of discouraging me. They miserably fail every time.
To Starbucks Planner detractors: I love coffee. I always drink coffee. I always get it in Venti. The planner is just a bonus. It's not a fad... Well at least for me.
I think Starbucks SG has the same yearly promotion. Does your country have one too? Show me pictures of your country's Starbucks Planners!

I don't often go to Starbucks anymore like I used to, so it took me almost 3 weeks (from Day 1 of this promotion) to complete the number of stickers needed to redeem a 2014 planner.
Have you also been using Starbucks planners for a long time? Do you remember the years where the planners did not come in a box?
I always look forward to unboxing a Starbucks planner more than unwrapping Christmas presents I received.
I loved all 4 colors of the 2014 planners. Coming up with a decision was definitely a struggle. I chose yellow (item appears a little bit orange on the picture) after reading about 2014 lucky colors for people born in the year of the OX.
Amazing design in front.
Hoooooohummmmmmmmmmm...
The brass detail in the magnetic flap is definitely a plus.
Compared to last year's bare flap.
One of the two things I didn't like in this planner. Ribbon bookmarks do not work for me. Good effort though on the brass detail.
Loved this magnetic bookmark more. Thinking of using it on this year's.
Upon seeing this I said to myself "Stickerrrrrs?!? Stiiiiiccccckkkkkeeerrrssss?!?" Maybe they forgot most of the people who use these planners are adults.
Found 4 usable gift cards out of the 14 provided. Planners produced before 2010 had more usable ones, to me at least.
Follow Starbucks PH on their social media accounts!
The second thing I didn't favor: no lines! Though the pages look cleaner...
I wish they still had extra sheets at the back for other notes, not to mention the space for such in every page significantly decreased.
Big difference.
I don't need another pen, but what the heck! Still bought this beauty with a Php100 discount during planner redemption.
Last year's pen case is better in quality and design.
Haven't used the 2 extra ink refills from the 2013 pen (I also use a Parker and a Pilot GTEC .04 to write) and now I have a new one - wondering when will I be able to use the white one I just purchased...
And now for the giveaway!
