All these years of being a planner girl, I have never thought of having myself a Starbucks Planner. Back in the days, I will just giveaway my stickers. I am sucker of coffee but honestly, I am not really attracted with how the Starbucks Planners looked like the passed years. Don't get me wrong, I am just the girly type when it comes to things. I like them with designs and different colors.
This year is different. After I decided to give the BDJ Petit Planner to my sister as a Christmas gift (because she really wants to have one), I was sure enough that I wanted to get the 2017 Starbucks Planner.
There are actually 2 choices for this year. Starbucks Philippines offered a coffee stained design and the other that I got, a blue siren inspired - The Siren. These comes in regular and mini sizes.
Inside the Box
As a tradition, these planners can be obtained by collecting stickers. 9 regular drinks and 9 featured holiday beverages. One may also get a planner by having a single receipt purchase of any participating Starbucks items worth P7,000.00.
Seeing what's inside the box, Starbucks is putting their game up. For The Siren, they have included a navy blue cloth pouch designed with gold mermaid tail, an erasable pen, a magnetic bookmark and coffee stickers.
The Planner - I chose regular size |
I can really say that I am impressed of how simple yet intricate the planner looks like. I love the gold geometric pattern which lies on the luminous aqua, jade and teal background of it.
Features
Of course, a calendar is included on the planner starting from 2017 to 2018. Yes! Up untill 2018.

Each month has a different watercolor artwork. I fell for the beauty of the drawing for the month of May-my birthmonth. It's a mermaid!

Along with the off-white pages, not to missed is the Monthly Page enough to note activities for the entire month.

The weekly page has a horizontal layout. The Notes page also comes after which gives you more space to record or list. You can also doodle and draw (just like what I do with my planners' Notes pages.) I can get my hands dirty here and design!😜

Bonus!
At the back, there are pages that contains the discount coupons that can be used on Starbucks branches in the Philippines. Some includes free upsize, 50% off on Starbucks merch and more!

I tried to test different pens that I usually use on the planner.It's the Sharpie Ultra Fine Point pen that bled on the pack of the page. Too bad as I always use this pen! Thank God Zig Brush doesn't.

Yes it's true. You will sometimes have a change of heart. I just did with the SB planners! All thanks to my officemates who helped me on collecting stickers. Haha. Since they are not collecting, they let me have the stickers when we are buying frappes. I got mine just 2 days before Christmas day! I am really excited to use this next year!
Who's using the same too?
