This is a quick review of Starbucks Singapore 2016 Planner that was launched today, Sept 4th. There are two things about this planner:

1. This was a collaboration between Starbucks and Moleskine AND
2. The design was EXCLUSIVE for Singapore.

PACKAGING

NOTHING FANCY – the planner is wrapped in a clear plastic, that’s it. So if you are planning to buy one, make sure you place them well inside your bag. Unlike me, I placed mine in one of my grocery bags (because I had no choice) and it was late when I noticed the small scratch/dent on the front cover. 😦

COVER

Like the signature look and feel of the Moleskine planner, this organizer/notebook comes in a hard cover (that somewhat feels like a faux leather) together with the elastic band on the side to help keep things intact.

PAGES – DESIGN & LAYOUT

Each section (calendar and different notebook pages) are divided by beautiful photos about the company and of course, coffee!

The 3 different notebook pages included in the planner are the following:

• 84 Ruled Pages
• 48 Note Pages
• 46 “Squared” or Graph pages

Lastly, is the back pocket feature of the planner.

BUT WAIT! There’s more!

Aside from the exclusive planner, you will also get a special edition Starbucks Card and it is placed inside the back pocket.

PROs:

• Light and handy
  • If you are aways on the go like attending meetings and taking notes, this is perfect for you.
  • It is not too heavy or bulky.
  • The size (approx. 5 x 8 inches) and weight makes it easier to carry around, even during travels.
• Design
  • Simple and you will not hesitate to use and bring it inside the board room.
  • For the 2016 planner, you can choose from the 3 colors available (red, grey or black)
• It is a combination of notebook and calendar.
  • I am happy to see a lot of pages to write on. This is something that you don’t get much from other planners.
• Pages are ACID-FREE
  • This means that it is environmental-friendly.
• Price
  • The planner set is currently sold at 38.90 SGD.
  • But if you are a member, you can opt to top up your card with 50 SGD and get the planner for only 28.90 SGD! *terms & conditions apply.

CONs:

• The pages are too thin (you can notice it in the photos above) so if you are using a sign pen or marker in this notebook, expect the ink bleeding at the back of the paper.
