2018 Starbucks Planner (Philippines): The Inside Pages

Last year’s Starbucks Planner 2017 was dominated by bursting colors care of the  blue siren and coffee stain designs. This year, in contrast, Starbucks Philippines released 2018 Starbucks Planner designs that highlight the Kape Vinta Starbucks Card.

You can choose from the blue and green hues with warm pigments of orange in line with the festive Christmas season and the Starbucks Card it houses.

The Starbucks 2018 Planner is encased in leather sleeves whose designs give off a classic look for the Starbucks staple item. Inside, there are plenty more surprises such as a stencil ruler and a calendar that can be folded in a shape of a cup. All planner sets are available in regular and mini sizes.

“The holiday season is a time for coming together and sharing goodwill. In our stores, we encourage these simple acts of kindness, in recognition of those who spend their time with us and those who embody generosity during this season,” said Keith Cole, Starbucks Philippines head of marketing.

Starting November 2, Starbucks fans can already start collecting stickers to get their hands on the much-awaited planners. They get to choose from the three handcrafted holiday beverages to savor the flavors of Christmas.

Here are snaps of the inside pages of the Starbucks Planner 2018 spread together with the promo mechanics:
