Starbucks Christmas Kick-off Party Event Coverage


Starbucks Christmas Kickoff party
Last Saturday, I attended the Starbucks 2013 Christmas Kick-off at Robinsons Manila. Sharing the photos below.

They have photo booth and this really cool photo printing group called the Hashtag Project. The hashtag that day was #Sharejoy and all photos uploaded on Instagram goes directly into their system and you can choose your photos there and have it printed. Really cool huh?

Before you enter the activity area, Starbucks had an area there where they were selling tumblers and mug at a discounted price. Really nice!
