The Holiday Season is just around the corner, and people are filled with much excitement to celebrate it with all their loved ones. This is also the perfect time to cherish the company of our family and friends who have definitely made this year extra special. Despite each one’s busy schedule, the holidays call for a celebration that no one can afford not to attend.
In relation to my personal experiences, Christmas is when the acts of kindness and generosity are most genuine. Sincere giving and acceptance of gifts has become a tradition of every Filipino household, including ours.
“The holiday season is a time for coming together and sharing goodwill. In our stores, we encourage these simple acts of kindness, in recognition of those who spend their time with us and those who embody generosity during this season,” said Keith Cole, Starbucks Philippines head of marketing.
To keep the Christmas spirit of ‘giving good’ alive, Starbucks won’t disappoint all its coffee lovers by giving its biggest gift that it ever offered: A year’s worth of coffee for lucky customers bringing home the Starbucks 2018 Planner.
Plan a truly memorable year with Starbucks
Twenty (20) winners will bring home a year’s worth of Starbucks Grande handcrafted beverages and twenty (20) more will receive a month’s worth of Grande handcrafted beverages of their choice, as Starbucks Christmas present to all coffee enthusiasts.
For all the holders of the special edition Starbucks Kape Vinta Card, exclusively released with the Starbucks 2018 Planners, you all must be ready to grab these incredible prizes. Customers simply need to activate the card with at least Php300 and register the card to a My Starbucks Rewards® account during the promo period to earn a raffle entry. Automatic qualification for the Starbucks for a Month and Starbucks for a Year promo await all raffle entries included from January 1-31, 2018 will automatically qualify for the Starbucks for a Month and Starbucks for a Year Promo.
The brand’s collection of planners which featured blue siren and coffee stain designs was revealed last year. Today, Starbucks turns its spotlight to Kape Vinta Card, through which Filipinos can choose from the blue and green hues reminiscent of the calm of the season and the warm pigments orange that is as festive as the card it frames.
Encased in leather sleeves, both designs give off a classic look for the Starbucks staple item. Inside, there are plenty more surprises such as a stencil ruler and a cleverly-designed calendar that can be folded in a shape of a cup. All planner sets are available in regular and mini sizes.
November 2 is fast approaching, and we want it to arrive sooner for in that day, Starbucks fans can already start collecting stickers to get their hands on the highly-anticipated planners. Three handcrafted holiday beverages are the choices to savor the flavors of Christmas.
“We are very excited to introduce this year’s line-up of highly anticipated holiday beverages: the Christmas Tree Peppermint Dark Mocha, Vanilla Nougat Latte, and the returning, Toffee Nut Crunch Latte. These eye-catching, delicious and festive beverages will surely cheer up everyone’s holidays,” said Jamie Silva, Starbucks Philippines category manager.
As always, Starbucks stores will be full of items that perfectly match the spirit of Christmas. Many exclusive collections of curated merchandise, whole bean bags of the returning Starbucks Christmas Blend, and its Christmas tea pack, the Teavana Joyful Medley Tea, are all up for grabs!
And the joy doesn’t end with coffees. The Starbucks menu has always been known to offer a variety of food and beverages to satisfy not only your coffee cravings but also your hungry stomach. Food items like Roasted Turkey and Chicken with Bacon on Cranberry Bread, Truffle Brownie Cheesecake, and 17-layer Chocolate Crepe Cake are all up in the menu. With this, Starbucks is sure to make your holiday feast more memorable.

I can always attest that Starbucks makes everything exceptional, that whether you are a coffee addict or not, you are already a fan! Aren’t you?
Cheers to an all-out Christmas celebration of you and your family with Starbucks Christmas treats. And watch out for more ‘give good’ news that are coming your way.

Hi Digital Filipina,
I saw you tweeting about technology and I thought I’d check out your website. I really like it. Looks like Digital Filipina has come a long way!
Building a mailing list like you are is so important too, I think people would really like to be signed up to what you have to share.
Good job on the social buttons, social media is so powerful these days
Good job with the Yoast plugin SEO is so important these days.
Also places like axtschmiede.com are worth checking out.
Nice one. Proud teacher here…
Thank you Miss Marie 🙂
So excited for the 2018 Starbucks Planner!!!
Everyone is so excited!
Excited to win the Starbucks 2018 Planner! The desk calendar is so cool. 🙂
Yay! Awesome post — makes me more excited about the holidays.
Hope to win the planner as by 2018, I’m entering college and this is a perfect sidekick. It’s been my hobby to collect stickers yearly but I’m not confident that I’d be able to get it this year due to my priorities — I’m a graduating student which is very financially demanding. God bless and looking forward to more blogs!
You cannot love without giving and you cannot give without loving. So, share the love! Enjoy the season! 🙂
So excited with the planner! Journalling is never better without a TANGIBLE planner! ❤️
Hi! Thank you for the information ☺ I have been collecting Starbucks planner since 2007 and haven’t missed a single planner. But this month, I’d be leaving the country for Europe and I’m afraid I won’t be able to collect enough stickers. Please, please pick me! Starbucks in Europe have no planner.
I wish you all the best and please continue to write more blogs. I’d love to read your next posts ☺
Can’t wait to see the actual planner and other Christmas merchandise. You have always had a kind heart of sharing not only during this season but always…. and it’s really heartwarming to see.the happy faces of people we have helped….
Thank you for this very informative post. Starbucks never fails its patrons every year with its line-up of Yuletide season specials.
I’m hoping to take home the planner, because as a working woman who is also taking her masters – while attending workshops and volunteer activities on the side, it’s important for me to keep track of my schedule. I always have a planner with me, but I’ve only had Starbucks planner once, and that was in 2014. So this year, I’m hoping to have one, but I’m not so confident I can collect all stickers. So I hope you consider me. Thanks a lot in advance and Merry Christmas!
l’m a single mom and starbucks planner has been my partner for scheduling/planning (eg immunization, doctor’s visit, medications).. i also love that i can able to paint and do calligraphy in starbucks planner. For 2018, i would love to continue my journaling journey with starbucks.. im in surigao and we dont have starbucks here, so im hoping to win.
So excited for the 2018 planner. I hope to win that planner as im planning to give one to my boyfriend who doesnt love coffee but would love a planner. Hopefully ill fill 2 booklets but if I win I only need to collect for myself lol. loved your articles keep it up. Merry christmas.
It’s the time of year..I get soo excited for this SB planner,the perks of getting the reward after every cup of coffee for the stickers 😊.
I hope to win one of the planner,because winning the prize makes a doubly rewarding being a starbucks coffee drinker,.I’ll be giving the planner to my son,who will be having his intership abroad for a year; It will be a great journal planner to bring along with him. 🙂
Awww, such a great idea to start the gift giving this holiday season. ❤️ OMG, excited na ko with the planner, ang ganda! I always collect starbucks planner each year kasi I love them plus the cause behind it. On a side note, pick me, pick me so I could get naman mine early this year. Haha!! Advance Merry xmas! Love lots, jaimie 💕
I have been an avid fan of these Starbucks planners ever since, though I had just started collecting them last year. All of my planners in the past were given as gifts as I am unable to afford them. I hope I would be chosen as one to have a new planner for 2018. I would be very grateful and I will treasure this planner the same way as I did with my previous ones. Thanks Ms. Karina and more power to you!
Would love to win the 2018 planner not for me but for one of my sisters. Every year, I need to collect at least 3 planners for me and my sisters and honestly this year is a challenge in maintaining that tradition. 2017 has been difficult for all of us losing my Dad last April due to cancer. And hopefully this planner will be an instrument for one of my sisters to pick up the pieces and plan ahead. I know 2018 will be a fresh start for all of us.
Thanks Ms. Karina for imbibing Starbucks’ slogan “Give Good”. Wishing you more success and a happy holidays ahead.
I deserve to win this planner because I’ve been a Starbucks card collector since 2013. I have all the complete Starbucks cards released in the PH and this 2018 planner includes the planner-exclusive Kape Vinta card, and the only way for me to have that card is by having the planner itself. This would be my 2nd Starbucks planner if ever I win since my bestfriend just gave me the large siren planner last year. Hoping to win this contest for me to be able to continue with my Starbucks cards collection and I might start collecting Starbucks planners as well. Thank you so much! Merry Christmas! 🎅☃️🎄
Im a new mom. With all the transitions from singlehood to married life, motherhood, parenting, and all, ill be needing something that i can be with all through my journey in a year. Starbucks planner isnt just a planner for me. Its been my journal for quite some time now. Cant wait to jot down another year of milestones, trials, triumphs and victories with the newest planner. Starbucks planner (and coffee of course!) has been and will always be my best buddy. Please choose me. 🙂
Wow, sounds exciting for the new planner!
Hi! I hope and pray to win the planner, im a college student now and i really wanted to be organized now as compared to what i do before. I usually forget things na dapat ko pong gawin and i really wanted to have a starbucks planner but every year i wasnt able to collect stickers because im not able. Ang tagal ko na pong dream magkaron ng starbucks planner and i pray na this will be my chance. Thank you po! 💖 God bless you.
Always excited reading your blogs! Always updated and up to notch topic that always hit the spot. Hope I can win this planner for my lovely wife!!😘

Your blog for Starbucks update are one of rhe best i’ve read so far.
As a working mom, I would love to fix my schedule to ensure that I give my best to my family and career. A planner where I can organize my time, list down priorities, and write anything that makes me happy would be an awesome kickoff to my 2018. I would also love to get the tumbler (in any case that i dont get my hand on the planner) so I can drink my favorite hot chocolate at home and at work 🙂 Thanks for sharing your blessings, Karina!

Wow! I really hope i’ll be the chosen one.
It would be of big help as i plan the year out for my work in a hospital. I have been recently re-assigned as the Infection Control Nurse of our institution. Being with this position comes a huge responsibility that anyone should not miss out. Life may be at risk when anything has bee overlooked. If i’ll be chosen to be given this planner, i would use it more likely for planning our hospital’s programs to prevent the spread of infection. Infection Control is a hospital wide program implementation down the line. It would be of great help as i venture this diverse world of infection control, and on top if it, my personal advocay in HIV and AIDS Awareness.
Aside from being the Infection Control Nurse, i’m also a surveillance officer that manages and reports communicable diseases. HIV and AIDS is one of them. Being an advocate and a counsellor, we deeply adhere to the laws and abide the rules of confidentiality. As we protect our patients, we are also protecting their rights and their dignity as a person, a human being and as a child of God.
Thank you in advance.:)

Hello! I was about to go out and have some nice coffee with my friends today (they promised to help me out with the stickers as I can’t have too many coffee because of my heartburn) but apparently, every one backed out. Every single one of them. Now, I’m sad as hell because I’ve been planning this for a long time. I even had my card reloaded. Yes, their drinks are on me but now I don’t have anyone to share it with. Anyway, good day to you!
I’m one busy person: teacher, private tutor as sideline, mother and wife, plus daughter duties. I need the Starbucks 2018 planner to organize my to-do stuff. I’ve been using Starbucks planners since 2012 and it never fails to surprise me with their cool designs, ample pages to write on, plus a handful of useful coupons for the year! Hoping to win this so I can help my sister and bro-in-law with sticker collecting hehe. Thank you in advance and God bless! <3
