MANILA, Philippines – There’s no denying the Starbucks holiday hype, especially when it comes to the coffee chain’s annual planners and travel organizers release. 

Now the sticker-collecting hordes can rest easy, knowing that Starbucks’ 2020 collection is finally here, in all its 4-color, embossed leather glory. 

The 2020 planner: leather, suede, and the iconic siren

This year, Starbucks’ planners come in two colors: Berry Pink and Frost Grey.

Each hardbound leather cover boasts one golden symbol upon first glance, but look closely and touch – there are actually beautifully embossed details of the iconic Starbucks Siren on the cover. 

The “eco-leather” used for the covers are made from pre-consumer recycled cowhide fibers bonded by natural latex, a renewable source from hevea rubber trees. The leather is sourced from Valencia, Spain.

The same-colored pouch it comes in is created with soft suede material, finished off with a nice touch – an intricate Starbucks siren zipper pull. 

Inside the pages you’ll find a yearly outlook, monthly outlooks, and weekly pages on the left and a notes page on the right – and facts about Starbucks coffee in between.

Once you notice the thin, smooth pages, remember that they’re also eco-friendly paper, made in a facility approved by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), an independent, non-government, non-profit organization that promotes responsible management of forests.

The 2020 travel organizer: slots, blank pages, and more slots

Starbucks’ travel organizers now don two colors: a bright Neo Mint green and a sophisticated Coffee brown.

It’s bound by a striped elastic strap to keep it shut. Once opened, a brown mini-notebook greets you, as well as way more slots than last year’s model – slots for your credit cards, licenses, passport, pen, and even your mobile phone.

The very journal-friendly pages come in 3 different styles: plain, dotted grid, and grid.

A little something extra

A set of Starbucks icon stickers, a bookmark, and tearable beverage vouchers also come with any of the 4 holiday specials. 

Sticker collecting begins on Saturday, November 2, 2019 and ends on January 7, 2020. All it takes are 18 stickers. You get one sticker for every purchase of any tall, grande, or venti Starbucks beverage. 

Depending on the availability of stocks, in-store redemption period is from November 2, 2019 to March 7, 2020. – Rappler.com
