New Year Giveaway: CBTL Giving Journal 2016

It's 2016! Another year has passed yet again. And I do hope that all of you had a wonderful holiday celebration. For me, it's going back to basic -- just a simple dinner with the small family, got together with friends, and enjoyed heaps of "me" time. But as we enter the first work week of the new year, first let me share with you something nice, before things start getting hectic (if it hasn't already).

Some of you probably have planners for 2016 already. But if you haven't yet, why not look into getting The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf's Giving Journal 2016? If you've been a reader for quite a while, you'd know how I love this cafe franchise and especially their journals. They don't only look nice and stylish, but also embody the spirit of the holidays. Giving.

Available in 4 colors!
Tan, Tiffany Blue, Mustard and Violet

Every year, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has been making the dreams of numerous scholars come true through the REAL Life Foundation, which is the CBTL Giving Journal's primary beneficiary. And this year, it's the hope of the brand to not only help their customers embark on a journey of giving through this campaign, but to also help them brew their best year by encouraging them to explore their talents, pursue their passions, and achieve their goals through a journal that is designed not only to organize work, but to motivate and energize its users to realize their dreams.

And while there are a lot of planners out there, not to mention the good number of apps for planning and organization, I'm still one of those who not only enjoy writing on paper, but also find collecting stamps a lot of fun. And since I usually hang out at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf branches, I find collecting 12 stamps for the Giving Journal 2016 pretty easy! In a span of 3 days, I already got myself 5 stamps! （⌒▽⌒ゞ

General Mechanics:

1. A minimum single-receipt purchase of any Original Ice Blended, Coffee-based, or Tea-based Beverage, Hot Chocolate/Vanilla, or CBTL™ capsules qualifies you to get a stamp card. Each card consists of 12 stamp circles, with corresponding drink assignments.
   
   • 1 Original Ice Blended (any flavor, regular or large)
   • 1 Espresso or Coffee-Based Drink (any flavor, regular or large)
   • 1 Tea Latte (any flavor, regular or large)
   • 1 Holiday Featured Beverage: Toffee Nut or Winter Dream Tea Latte
   • Any 8 Regular or Large Beverage of Your Choice or Hot Chocolate/Vanilla or CBTL™ capsule
     
     • 1 Box of CBTL™ capsules (any flavor) = 2 stamps
     • CBTL™ Single Serve Beverage System (Kaldi, Contata or Desto) purchase automatically allows the customer to claim a 2016 Giving Journal
2. Stamp card must always be presented UPON PURCHASE so that a circle may be stamped whenever its corresponding product assignment is purchased.
3. Once all the 12 circles have been stamped, the bearer can claim his Giving Journal by surrendering the accomplished card to any of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf branches. Combining of stamps cards is not allowed.
4. Promo period is from October 23, 2015 to January 10, 2016.
5. Giving Journals may be claimed all throughout the promo period and until 60 days after the promo has ended.

I know, I know... I'm awfully late for this post. But if you already love The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, then this might not be that hard of a feat. v(°∇^*)⌒☆

But to make up for my late-ness, and to spread more positive vibes this new year, I'm raffling off one of my CBTL Giving Journal 2016 to one very lucky winner. I'll even let the winner choose which color to get -- mustard or Tiffany blue. Woot! （ゝ。∂）
