Starbucks Philippines Year of the Dog Merchandise

We are few weeks away from Chinese New Year, Year of the Earth Dog. Zodiac luck, Chinese zodiac dog fortune and the likes are staring to roll on my feeds. My first Year of the Dog souvenir came from Starbucks Philippines.

A brown box arrived in the mail right after New Year's Day. Year of the Dog ceramic mug, Year of the Dog Starbucks Card and Starbucks Wafer Rolls in different variants are carefully packed inside the box.

2018 is a special year for Starbucks Philippines. The coffee brand already announced its big 20th anniversary treats as early as December with its Starbucks Planner 2018 which comes with a limited edition Starbucks Kape Vinta Card. Don't forget to register your Starbucks Card for a chance to win one of the 20 Starbucks for a month and 20 Starbucks for a year. Activate your card anytime in January to be eligible for the raffle. Winners of these big anniversary treats will be announced on January 22 and February 12.

The coffee brand kicked off 2018 with special treat, the Starbucks Double Sticker from Jan 8-12. So just in case you need to catch up those stickers to avail a limited edition planner, here's your last chance. 

Starbucks Year of the Dog Mug and Card

Collectors and dog lovers will like the illustrations on the Lunar New Year merchandise as it highlights this year’s Chinese zodiac which is the Earth Dog.

Starting January 9, Starbucks mixes in one of Japan’s most popular culinary ingredients, the Okinawa Brown Sugar, to create Okinawa Brown Sugar Latté. The elegant drink highlights the hint of molasses found in the sugar and fuses in light caramel for a less sweet, coffee forward drink.

A returning favorite, the Salted Caramel Mocha Crumble, combines deep chocolate and espresso flavors with toffee nut syrup, layered with a delicious combination of whipped cream and caramel sauce. The beverage is topped with a blend of turbinado sugar and sea salt for a perfect sweet and savory taste.

I should grab these Starbucks signature espresso beverages tomorrow before my scheduled spa. I think these Starbucks Year of the Dog merchandise are perfect gift for Chinese New Year.
