Take a peek inside Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s 2011 Giving Journal

It’s becoming pleasantly cooler now that  Christmas is just around the corner, making it impossible for me to resist a warm cup of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s (CBTL) coffee.  Aside from getting the 2011 Giving Journal, what makes CBTL’s coffee (tea and yogurt) more enjoyable this season is the thought that you are “changing lives with every cup.”

The 2011 Giving Journal is a huge upgrade from last year’s journal notebook with blank pages  (which is my notebook of choice when jotting down business-related notes, making to-do lists and doodling). Not a bad reward for gulping down 24 CBTL drinks:  1 Original Ice Blended, 1 one Tea Latte, 1 Apple Caramel Ice Blended or Apple Pie Tea Latte and any 21 drink of choice (Original Ice Blended, Frozen Swirl, and coffee- and tea-based drinks).

The first page that greets you after the black flyleaf.

The coupons with monthly freebies and discounts will never be misplaced anymore because it is now included in the journal itself (last year’s coupons were in printed in loose glossy papers).

It lives up to its name “giving journal” by featuring special pages for a Gift Giving Cheat Sheet, 101 Ways to Give Back, Pay It Forward List and pages for notes, special events and vacation planner.

Oh, by the way, CBTL had me at purple. =D
