The Limited Edition 2019 Starbucks Coffee Planner
THE HOLIDAY season is here, and for many of us, it’s also the time to chug cups of coffee (and tea) to get our hands on limited edition coffee planners. I personally use both The Starbucks Limited Edition Coffee Planner and The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s (CBTL) The Giving Journal for years now—one as my daily journal, and the other for budgeting. And having attained both 2019
coffee planners since the second week of November, I am here to share with you a hack on how to fast-track your way to earning one the quickest and most affordable way possible.
What’s new?
The Limited Edition 2019 Starbucks Coffee Planner has evolved from a straight-to-the-point planner where we jot down our daily schedules and activities to a journal that motivates us to push for our goals. Starbucks PH has conceptualized a monthly hashtag theme, and flipping each page, the planner is undeniably more colorful and fun this year.
Also, Starbucks PH has released the travel organizer, which can be acquired the same way as the planner.
The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s Giving Journal has been consistent in their goal of inspiring, motivating, and sharing. Each month begins as a planning activity to help set one’s objectives , and closing with a monthly reflection exercise. What’s exciting about The 2019 Giving Journal is that it features 12 Filipino artists to do the artwork for the planner’s monthly themes, and this year, Cebu is represented by two talented artists— watercolor master Wilbert Wee and digital art whiz Aldrin Suan.
Side by Side
The Starbucks 2019 Planner (SBP) is slightly more compact than The Giving Journal 2019 (TGJ), which is a tad thicker too
as CBTL uses thicker paper for each page. SBP has one design, and is available in two colors— Milk and Espresso, while TGJ has four designs. Starbucks PH has made it easier for its patrons to get the planner this year by giving us the freedom to choose what handcrafted beverage to order to complete the required stickers.
Getting the free coffee planners has been a trend for years in the Philippines with The Limited
Edition Starbucks Coffee Planner and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s The Giving Journal as the top two choices. So, which one are you getting? Visit the nearest branch of Starbucks or CBTL now, flip the pages of the planners and see which one fits you the best.
Have a bright, promising 2019!
