I would give the gift certificates as a gift, since I don’t drink the crazy caffeine stuff.
As much as I love love love starbucks, I too would use them as gifts - probably stocking stuffers for my brother and his wife.
$15 would finally get me to purchase some yummy Starbucks tea bags for made-at-work tea. I can’t wait!
hmm i would buy myself a nice good drink, not sure which one b/c i really like the vanilla bean frapuccino and also some other ones so … : )
Ya, I love Starbucks!

I stumbled you! I’m ‘luvcontests’.
Oh and finally…I would love to buy some Frap’s at Starbucks and also those hot Apple Ciders are great too!
I am a post secondary student and with studying, staying up late and getting up early, I could use this gift card to buy a latte in the mornings at the Starbucks in my university. Thanks for the chance.
With a $15 Starbucks card, I’d take my family of 3 in for a treat of their choice - perfect
the giftcards would allow me to offer them in trade for some help I need from a friend moving some appliances.
I prefer to make my own coffee, but the gesture of spreading some good will will net me something that I cannot do on my own.
I love to treat myself to Starbucks every now and then! My new favorite drink is a “chai-der.” You ask for one of their hot apple drinks plus a shot of chai. Very tasty!!
You are generous, as ever. Thank you.
However, take my name out of the hat.
I won’t patronize them due to their refusing to support our troops.
Well, that and the fact that there is no
Lucky us!
starbucks within 50 miles
I am one of those people that does not buy Starbucks because of the high cost. I would only go there is someone else was treating or I got a GC some how. If i one this giveawya I would treat my boyfriens and myself to a nice outing for lattes and maybe even be able to split one of Starbuck’s delicious muffins! With the extra $15 I saved in my pocket, I could buy at least 2 large cans of coffee and make my own at home for a couple of months.
I am an email subscriber!
I would probably buy a few hot cocoa’s… so yummy! I’m subscribing via email, too
I would love to win this. We take the bus to go grocery shopping and usually have a long wait till the bus comes and theres a Starbucks right inside the store. I could treat us to some great coffee while we wait. Thank you!
I’m subscribed to your email. Thanks!
I would buy the bag of coffee and brew it myself to get more bang for the buck!

I would get a nice hot white chocolate mocha on my way to work (at 6:30 am). It would get me ready to deal with my 18 2nd grade students

What will $15 do for me at Starbucks?
15 at Starbucks goes a lot further than 15 most places because coffee is meant to be savored and drank slowly.
It would give me a well deserved break mid day (with wi fi of course!)
Thanks for the yummy giveaway!
yoo hoo… I’m following you….on Twitter!
tweet, tweet.
I would give the gift card to my granddaughter for her 20th birthday next month.
I already subscribe via rss - and on twitter - plus i stumbled the post!
$15 would actually go quite a ways for me at starbucks since i just get the boring regular dark roast coffee - at about $1.50-$2 a pop. So i could get coffee for a week or more with this card! Or i suppose i could share it with my wife and let her get one of her foofy mocha drinks with whip cream, etc.
Enter me please!
i subscrubed by email, i am following you on twitter (my username is dreamingescape), i tweeted your contest on there just now, i stumbled it, and now i’m commenting to say that…
a $15 gift card would keep me going on the nights i have class. being in class from 2-10p twice a week is horrendous and i could always use the pick me up! and i’d probably take my husband out to borders where they have the starbucks inside and we could share some drinks over some good books
I would love the gift card! I could use it for a Christmas present! Thanks
I would save them until closer to the holidays then would indulge in all those wonderful holiday themed drinks. I love the white peppermint mocha.
Starbucks - awesome!
i would purchase mocha’s for me and my co-workers.
My daughter is a Starbuck’s addict, so I would give it to her as a gift.
$15 will let me treat my girl
My mother has been to Starbucks a grand total of ONCE in her life, when I took her for some tea. I’d like to take her again!
Gets me three venti pumpkin spice light fraps.
I love coffee and Starbucks is my favorite
Id love to win!
I would treat myself to a pick me up after a long work day.
I love coffee
I’ve never been to Starbucks, but have only heard great things about it. I would definately go and order a cappucino!
I too have never been to starbucks, but i would like to try it.
Thank you for this promotion.
I can no longer justify spending my hard earned cash on my favorite Caramel Apple Spice, but with a $15 gift card, there is no need for justification!! So that is what I would use it on. Maybe I’d buy my other half his favorite coffee, too. I can’t be selfish now…
Nice prize. Mmmmmm. Count me in!
i would like to try this coffee.
want to win this
With the $15 gift card I would stock up on Tazo Chai Tea bags!!!
cjnedrow(at)gmail(dot)com
I would take my sister and mom out for some coffee. my mom especially loves their shaken iced tea lemonades a lot.
$15 for me is easily a package of diapers and wipes, depending on which coupons that I use. Thanks for an awesome giveaway!!
I blogged you, but its not letting me post the link…hmm.. weird.
Starbucks is the best
I’d love to win this for my husband — he loves to stop at Starbucks for a coffee to warm up when he’s riding his motorcycle!
GReat fora winter warmup
I would use this for frappachinos on days when i’m out running errands
I really like Starbucks iced tea when I am out and about.
I would use this to buy myself a birthday drink! And no guilt on where the money really should be spent!
We love Starbucks. Everything is sooo gooood there. Thank You!!
I’d grab my sister and make a coffee date for just the two of us!
Starbucks is a great way to unwind after a stressful day at work, love starbucks!
Thanks for being DedeAndro™’s Entrecard Top Droppers September 2008. Check this out: (http://dedeandro.blogspot.com/2008/10/top-entrecard-droppers-september-2008.html). Thanks friends, keep on droppin’ :).
I want a sugar free caramel frapp soooooo bad!
I’m a nurse and I work night shift~ it isn’t hard to figure out how this $15 g.c. would help me out:)
With $15 worth of Starbucks, I would take the family out for hot cocoa.
Hot chocolate is yummy
i am in
I would probably get some muffins or soda or something since I don’t drink coffee.
I’ve subscribed via email to your RSS feed, added you on twitter, and tweeted about the giveaway.
What I would do with the $15 giftcard is use it as a stocking stuffer for my significant other as he has a weekly coffee get-together at Starbuck’s.
I already have plans for economizing with my win - buy good teabags (for me) and coffee (for spouse) to make at home, make the gift certificate go much further! Consider yourself twittered, stumbled upon, and blogged about (http://slowcavore.blogspot.com/2008/10/keeping-up-with-it-all.html)
I’m already on your email list and follow you on Twitter, so hopefully that counts!
This would make a great gift.
Thanks
I would goto my local barnes and noble and enjoy some quiet time reading.
THANK YOU GOD BLESS
Well, I stumbled here!
$15 to Starbucks would, for me, be a great Christmas gift accent for my sister. I love their hot chocolate but she likes their specialty lattes more.
Also, I blogged about this here: http://ladyj-greetings.blogspot.com/
Thank you!
This would allow be to go to Starbucks and indulge myself with some coffee, muffins, etc since I only go there if I have a giftcard.
Starbucks has been a luxury we can’t afford lately, I’d love to win this so I could indulge myself!
I’d get smoothies for a sugar boost after a long day digging up blackberry bushes.
I just subscribed to your e-mail newsletter. I would love $15 worth of Starbucks! I almost never go, because it’s usually not worth the money, but I would love to treat myself. I just broke my ankle about a week ago, and there’s a Starbucks just down the street from me. Because of my medical bills (we have insurance, thank God, so not horrendous), I won’t be able to afford a treat for a while, but I’d love to have a little fun money for some fancy coffee!
If I won a $15 Starbucks card, I would give it to my daughter. She is in college 10 hours drive from home in a place where there is deep snow and ice through a long dark winter. I can imagine her treating herself several times to a warming beverage while she (of course!) studies. I just read yesterday in the newspaper about a college library that had a Starbucks added - and more people came. Thanks for the chance to win!
I subscribed!
Count me in!

It would give me a week’s worth of Latte’s and alertness at work - always a good thing!
