Starbucks x Precious Moments® Collectibles (Singapore Exclusive)

Starbucks has been having collaborations with various brands and designers to produce exclusive designs for Starbucks. Their most recent collaboration was with BLACKPINK

Precious Moments has many Singapore-themed designs, including SingPost Postman and KrisShop Exclusive's Singapore Airlines girl. Some of the designs are sold exclusively at the companies that they worked with, while the others are available at Precious Thoughts (formerly Precious Thots).

Starbucks x Precious Moments 2018
In December 2018, the collaboration between Precious Moments and Starbucks Singapore began with exclusive sets of collectibles, only available in Singapore. The Precious Moments Starbucks Singapore exclusive comes in a pair, priced at S$69.90 each. Yes, each is sold separately.

"The pair of collectibles, for the coffee lover in your life."
- Starbucks Singapore

This set featured a Barista boy pouring milk into a cup of hot coffee and a Barista girl writing something on the cup. This captures a familiar scene in a typical Starbucks store where the Barista will write our name or initial on our cups of drinks.

Starbucks Singapore announced, on 20 April 2019, the return of Starbucks x Precious Moments Barista boy and girl. However, they are exclusively available at Starbucks Jewel Flagship store.

For the first 200 customers, they can get both boy and girl as a set at S$100 (U.P. S$139.80).

"We're The Perfect Blend"

Released on 9 December 2019, the Starbucks Singapore exclusive is a set having both the Precious Moment boy and girl enjoy their time at Starbucks together. This set was priced at S$139 each. What a lovely, beautiful scene.

Unfortunately, the collaboration seems to have ended after the 2019 set. Fans of both Precious Moments and Starbucks were disappointed that there were no new sets released in 2020.

For now, we can only hope that Starbucks Singapore and Precious Moments decided to work together again.
