International coffee chain Starbucks has introduced ‘Starbucks Gift Cards’ at select locations in Mainland China for the Lunar New Year.
The new Starbucks Cards can be purchased in three unique design themes - Thank You, Kind Regards and Happy Lunar New Year.
Commenting on the gifts card launch, Starbucks China president Belinda Wong said the Lunar New Year is a time when family and friends gather to meet, connect and share stories.
"The Card is a convenient way for customers to recognize special people in their lives in a meaningful way and give the gift of Starbucks® coffee. It's the perfect gift for this, and any, occasion, and can be used at our stores in Mainland China year-round," Wong added.
Starbucks noted that the Starbucks Card has become a symbol of appreciation and human connection around the world.
