This website has officially been around for a little over a month now and I think it’s high time for a giveaway, don’t you? Grand Prize is a $25 Starbucks Gift Card. That’s right, your Cappuccino, Espresso, Frapucchino, Vivanno smoothie, Tazo Tea, &/or pastries are on me! All you need to do is “Post a Comment” answering the following:

1) How often you make your way to a Starbucks
2) What you normally buy
3) Any interesting experiences you’ve had

Simple enough, right?

My own answers are: I’m not a latte/cappucino/espresso drinker and have never bought a beverage there. I hardly ever go in a Starbucks, unless I wanna take a looksie at their goodies selections. When buying this Gift Card, I couldn’t resist buying THIS. It was delish, BTW.

Drawing will close at 7pm PST on Thursday, September 18th. One entry per person, please. One winner will be chosen at random (not based on responses) using Random Integer Generator and will be announced sometime that night.

Here’s my disclaimer: Your entries will be used for entertainment purposes only. I will never ever share your private info with others.

Last but not least, you can’t win if you don’t play. I stole, er, “borrowed” that line from the California Lottery, LOL.

P.S. If you’re the lucky winner, you too could also use the gift card for a 13-shot Starbucks drink like this guy (total bill $13.76 with tax) or someone who took on his challenge (July 14, 2008 post) by ordering a Venti White Chocolate Mocha with “16 shots of espresso, 10 pumps of vanilla, x white mocha, x caramel, soy milk and an energy boost”. Total came up to $13.95 excluding tax. Winning this gift card has lots of possibilities! 🙂

Winner is #5—Amy S.!!! Please check your email.

Christina: It’s always great when someone buys ya a drink, isn’t it?
Elizabeth: Free stuff is always good!
Cheryl & Go Amie: Give it time, something interesting is bound to happen!
Sandy: Now that’s what I call an interesting experience!
Kelli R.: I guess Starbucks is as good a place as any to conduct business deals!
Rebecca: I think you topped Sandy’s experience, considering you were the one pregnant!
Janet: Half a gallon? Oh yikes.
Kelli: When the employees know you, that’s when you’re officially a “regular”.
Lauren aka Bella: I’ve never ordered a drink at Starbucks, but I’ll be sure to use a “code name” too when I do!
Tracye: Unfortunately, I couldn’t include you in the drawing because the cut-off was at 7pm. I can’t exactly break my own rules (well, I can, but I didn’t want an uprising, LOL). Don’t worry though, I’m bound to have another drawing in a week or so (it may not be for Starbucks but it’ll be just as good).

Thank you all for participating!!! 🙂
