For the year 2012, I have managed to redeem 2 Starbucks Planner. That’s a total of 34 fraps *pats my back*. Lol. I go to Starbucks for some ME-time every sunday but to get these planners, that’s about 4 fraps a week. I got my first planner, the Poplar, last December. I started using it and totally fell in love with it so I continued collecting more stickers for a 2nd one.
Also, I need to mention that last December 2, 2011 – Starbucks Cagayan de Oro invited me to a night of music, food and drinks for their loyal customers and I had a blast. I’m loyal alright. I wish I had copies of the pics we took at the event so I can share it here (I forgot my camera that time, sorry!).
So anyway, back to the planners. Starbucks 2012 Planners are available in 5 wood designs: Bamboo, Cherry, Spruce, Poplar and Oak. I chose the last 2 designs.. Poplar (right) and Oak (left). A nice addition to their planners are the free sleeves. The old 2011 Starbucks Planner that I have is now a little dirty so I can make sure that even at the end of the year, my planners will remain as nifty as it looks now.
I do like the string bookmark with mug logo from the 2011 planner coz the new one seems like something I’d easily lose. The over all look is really clean and is so much lighter and smaller than the old one. The planners are also made from recycled paper. The wood cover is a genius!
The left side are for your daily tasks while notes (without lines) should go to the right. Coupons are also included for free upsize and add-ons valid for specific months in 2012. It also feels good to know that for every planner redeemed, a donation will be made to Spark Hope, a program for early childhood care and development in partnership with UNICEF. I personally advocate UNICEF and is a donor for their Champion for Kids program.
This will definitely be an awesome year for me. I love planners and I am that type of person who would rather plan than be spontaneous. I will be using Poplar for Work and the Oak one for my personal life. Though I will miss my favorite Holiday Drinks – Toffeenut Frap and Peppermint Mocha, I have my old favorites at Starbucks- Limketkai to keep me company during my “ME-time”. Lastly, I’d like to say Cheers to the Starbucks Limketkai Cagayan de Oro staff, they are wonderful people. Getting inside starbucks and having them greet, “Hiiii ChiQ!” always brings a smile to my face. When I’m at the counter, they’d ask me how my day was and I’ve always found them friendly and sincere. I’m always definitely at home at Starbucks ?.
