Colgate's #SmileStrong Campaign

The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived! The renowned coffee chain has unveiled the designs for the 2021 Starbucks Planners and Organizers! Yes, you got it right. We'll be treated with both planners and organizers which can serve as our fresh canvas to chronicle our dreams, hopes, and whims, as we Carry The Merry into a brighter year ahead. 💚

The annual Starbucks Christmas Tradition sparks joy with the 2021 Planners and Organizers

This holiday season, Starbucks brings to life the stories behind its brand through the 2021 Starbucks Planners and Organizers by highlighting four (4) Philippine-exclusive designs. Through the pages of the newly-launched planners and organizers, people (like me and you) who have evolved with the brand are given an ode, that we may find a deeper connection with the Starbucks Experience.

The brand made sure to have a planner and organizer design for all of us. Without further ado, here is this year's 2021 Starbucks Planners and Organizers!

Starbucks Siren (Green) Planner

Starbucks Siren Planner

Also known as the OG Starbucks branding, Starbucks shares its tradition of coffee-making mastery through its iconic Siren. It paints a picture of its wonderful journey in delivering the best-tasting coffee, from the sourcing of the beans to the serving in one’s cup. The 2021 Starbucks Philippines Planner in the brand’s signature green color comes in a hardbound recycled PU (synthetic) leather cover, with meticulous details of the mythical Siren debossed on its front cover.

Starbucks Teavana™ Youthberry (Yellow) Planner

Starbucks Teavana™ Youthberry Planner

Perfect for those who love the Starbucks Teavana™ offerings, this fun, yellow planner was inspired by the traditions from many cultures, as well as a fun, modern, Western spin on tea-drinking, with the aim of giving zest to people’s vibrant and joyful passions. Bringing more colors to people’s lives, the 2021 Starbucks Teavana™ Youthberry Planner features intrinsic details of the Siren Tail in gold, embossed on its recycled PU leather cover.

As the brand introduces this year’s much-awaited planners, Starbucks stays true to its commitment to supporting sustainable movements. The pages of the Starbucks Siren and Starbucks Teavana™ Youthberry Planners are produced with eco-friendly paper in a facility certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) — an independent, non-profit organization to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.

Starbucks Frappuccino® Coral Pink Organizer 

(with multifunctional carrier)

If there’s any beverage that gets people creative in expressing their truest selves, it would have to be the Frappuccino. This delicious and creamy blend fuses multiple indulgent flavors that make the best sip of the season.

Starbucks Frappuccino Coral Pink Organizer

The Starbucks Frappuccino® Organizer in coral pink pops in a posh and youthful color with a sleek multifunctional carrier laced by a premium rose gold Starbucks logo zipper pull. It consists of several built-in pockets where people can conveniently place their IDs, credit cards, Starbucks Cards, and even hand sanitizers, enabling them to house their essentials as they deliver on their state of play.

Starbucks Reserve® Black Organizer 

(with multifunctional carrier)

Exquisite coffees are the heart and soul of Starbucks Reserve®. Through rare coffees and a plethora of beverage platforms, Starbucks underscores its commitment to pursuing great craftsmanship and innovation when it comes to coffee-making. 

Starbucks Reserve Black Organizer

The 2021 Starbucks Reserve® Black Organizer is grounded on the first-rate quality of its premium coffee lineup. It dawns on a classic black color that exudes a minimalistic yet elevated feel for Starbucks customers. Take it with you as your lifestyle companion that houses your essential items.

The team behind this year's planners and organizers decided to add more blank pages to them so people who love to journal, write, or draw can satisfy the creative junkie in them. To complement all the unique features of the 2021 Starbucks Planners and Organizers, each choice provides a bookmark, a set of fun and colorful stickers, along with tear-off vouchers that people can use throughout the year as they spend it with Starbucks.

How to avail of the 2021 Starbucks Planners and Organizers?

All you need to do is to collect a total of 18 stickers using either the paper promo card or the e-promo card in Starbucks Philippines Mobile app. The same rule applies, one (1) sticker is awarded for any purchase of a Tall, Grande, or Venti Starbucks® handcrafted beverage in-stores. The collection of stickers will start from November 3, 2020 to January 4, 2021 in all Starbucks stores nationwide. 

Which planner or organizer are you getting?

Starbucks also launched its Mobile Order & Pay feature where customers can place beverage orders using the Starbucks app or mobile device and claim them safely in-stores. I had this wishful thinking when they launched their new Starbucks program last July and now it's finally here! 😍

I'm most definitely getting the organizers for this year, though I'm torn on which design to get – the Frappuccino or the Starbucks Reserve. They both come with a nice-looking multifunctional carrier which is why I'm so torn. lol Help me decide? :)

 

But wait there's more!  

Commemorative 23rd Anniversary Journal and Card Gift Set

Starbucks Philippines 23rd Anniversary Collection

Because Starbucks Philippines is turning 23 this December, they are bringing a commemorative 23rd Anniversary Journal and Card Gift Set inspired by the iconic Siren. Priced at ₱2,700, the whimsical gift bundle is inclusive of a journal, a leather clutch, plus a Starbucks Card with an initial activation amount of ₱1,000. In the many years I've been following this coffee chain, this is the first time that I heard them throwing in a journal and card in one gift set. To be honest with you, I'm eager to get my hands on this collectible! ✨

The quarantine made me miss Starbucks so much. After hearing that the Starbucks planners and organizers are already in-store, I suddenly got reminded how much I loved the holidays and how Starbucks has been a part of it year on year. I can't wait for November 3 to start collecting stickers while enjoying the Peppermint Mocha! ☕️

Want to see the inside pages of this year's Starbucks Planners and Organizers, make sure to stay tuned to this page! Who knows I might hold a planner giveaway soon? 😏

I've always had a rosy disposition in life but these overwhelming times unearthed a different side of me – overwhelmed, scared, and deprived. I reckon the idea of not being able to wander like how I used to do it the past few years was a huge blow to my sanity. I lived off of exploring as a way to take a breather, but 2020 changed that. To combat my negative emotions, I challenged myself to shake things up and try an activity to help me cope - enter Imahenasyon Manila's Sanity Break Kit.

Designing my workspace at home unintentionally became therapeutic for me. From dreaming of owning my own space at home, visualizing it via Pinterest, and now buying pieces one by one – I'm thrilled to be enjoying an activity outside my work during these overwhelming times. My workspace idea is all over the place but I'm glad I was able to get tips from Ram Bucoy, an interior designer, on ways how I can elevate my space at home. 

During Casa de Memoria's Tercero Online Auction press preview, Ram emphasized on creating an experience when styling your home, especially with art pieces. As someone who doesn't have a deep understanding and appreciation for art, I see myself investing in pieces that are practical, beautiful, and comfortable – for my workspace today and for my dream home tomorrow.
