Starbucks Christmas tradition is bringing out a lot of goodies for the holidays. The most popular Starbucks gimmick is the Starbucks 2007 Planner. My daughter has only 3 more stickers and she gets the cutesy Starbucks Planner. Can you imagine one needs 21 stickers to redeem this planner? As I have written in my blog

The Starbucks planner needs 21 stickers (9 are for Starbucks featured Christmas beverages while 12 for Starbucks beverages of your choice). The cheapest price for regular drink is 80 pesos (I think) so that’s 960 pesos while Christmas drinks at 125 pesos minimum 1125 pesos for a total of 2085 pesos ($42) to complete the 21 stickers.

Next Starbucks Christmas offering is the Christmas Blend Coffee Beans..

I am a Coffee drinker and variety is my cup of tea (err, coffee). I bought this Limited Edition Christmas Blend costing 425 pesos to complete my sampling of coffee beans around the world. According to my Starbucks Coffee Passport, there are three prime coffee-growing regions, distinct in its landscape , its climate and the flavor profile it imparts to the coffees grown and processed there. Starbucks claims to travel the entire coffee belt to discover and purchase the very best green coffee each region has to offer. They carefully select coffees for those defining flavor characteristics that distinguish their origin. The Christmas Blend is Multi-region blend covering Indonesian , Brazilian coffee beans. The flavor is really bold, even the aroma.

Their Gingerbread Man cookie costs 65 pesos and part of their proceeds go to the SparkHope Project. The gingerbread man cookie is pretty and colorful but the flavor isn’t that great. I barely taste the ginger.

Starbucks ensured that it had a lot to offer. With an expensive price tag to most of its merchandise , I hope they really hold on to their promise of supporting the SparkHope project.
