The Limited Edition Starbucks Coffee 2018 Planner is encased in (recycled) leather sleeves and is available in two tones. I am personally liking the darker one and I think that this one is their best planner yet! It's reusable and can be used with other notebooks or planners that has the same size. All planner sets are available in regular and mini sizes.

Inside the case are more surprises such as a stencil ruler and a nice calendar that can be folded in a shape of a cup.

Here's the first page where you put your personal information and a small insert provisions for cards and others.

I think that I would be able to fully use the planner for 2018. First, I like the design. I think that it looks classic and I like how they design the insides of the planner. The monthly overview and the weekly calendar is decent with notes provision on the left. Really maximizing the space.

There's a flap on the back of the leather sleeves which also serves as a quick bookmark if you don't want to use the standard bookmark.
