Flowers Sleeve

Released the first week of April, DEAR MOM is the 2005 edition Mother's Day Starbucks Card. This is also the first ever writable Starbucks Card. On the front of this card is a round sticker that says, "You can write on this Card. Write mom a note." By pulling it off, it leaves a 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 square writable space for a personal message to mom. A fine tip permanent marker is the best pen to use for a clean, lasting and smudge-free message. When this Card was released, so was this Flower Sleeve. It was intended to be used with either Card, the DEAR MOM or COFFEE TULIPS. This Sleeve (unlike most) doesn't have the Starbucks logo or the Card pocket. This time the cardboard has a die-cast cut that the Card slips into. Collectors Note: This Sleeve was only available for a very short time (about 4 weeks).
