Product Review: Starbucks 2015 Planner
1/02/2015 04:32:00 AM
I've tried blogging for the past few weeks but due to my busy schedule at work, with makeup clients, and holiday preparations it's been impossible to actually sit for a few hours and write about something. How was your holiday celebration? I hope it is as fun-filled as mine! And hoorrraaaayyyyy for my first blog post this year!
Before I go any further, please do not tell me that Starbucks' planners are so overrated and expensive. I don't go to Starbucks just for the planner. Yes, I regularly drink coffee. You'd be quite surprised if I tell you how many planners I redeem during this season.
When I saw what they were offering this year, I already had my eyes set on the green planner. I did consider the red version only because I received a brick red wallet as a gift for my birthday last October.
I completed mine 3 weeks after Starbucks officially started the "Red Cups" season. One thing I've learned from the years of collecting their planners: get a card at the very first day because there's one sticker spot already filled for FREE.
I love the print on this year's packaging though I still prefer having it in a box. Opening one feels more magical and exciting with box don't you think?
I was just with my friends earlier before writing this entry and we heard from a local radio station that green is the lucky color for 2015. I was told that the person giving the prediction is well-known and reliable. So I guess it must be a sign!!!
I love the idea of having your own name plate. I wish the marker was permanent though. And can we talk about that embroidered Starbucks logo?!? Please don't do that again!!! It looks cheap, not to mention ugly. #SorryNotSorry
The other tip of the marker smelled great but I couldn't tell what aroma I was getting. Can you tell what's yours?
I am loving the black front page. Feels more "sosyal" and expensive than last year's. Starbucks should consider doing this every year.
Are you a sucker for writing your schedule in paper? I know I am, despite the advent of the calendar-equipped smartphones. That's why I am in love with this part of the planner. I hope they never take this design out.
This year the pages are lined. I don't really have a problem if it's not, but I was feeling this layout. Kind of goes with my mood with notebooks this year. But I still couldn't find more pages for notes!!!
Thank God the coupons are attached!!! Dear Starbucks, please do the same next year. I beg you.
I wasn't feeling the page marker this year. I don't like ribbon markers to begin with (and yes I also didn't like last year's) so I am using this one instead. I think it's from 4 years back?
