CLOSED My first gift card giveaway: It’s Starbucks time!

shared by MickyN | 37 Comments

IMG_20131229_143907_951

Awhile ago I posted that I was working on a surprise for my readers. The moment to reveal the surprise has come, and I’m so excited! This is my first giveaway, and up for grabs are three $5 Starbucks gift cards.

I am a big fan of hot drinks in the winter: they keep me warm, are delicious and comforting, and can be served alongside a variety of sweet treats. My favorite drink this time of the year is hot chocolate with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Do you like hot drinks? If you do, then this is the perfect giveaway for you.

To enter the giveaway, comment on this post and answer the following question: What is your favorite hot drink in the winter, and why?

This giveaway is not sponsored or endorsed by Starbucks. One entry per person and per household. Deadline for entries is 6PM central time on January 5th, 2014. Three winners will be chosen on or around January 6, 2014 by using a random number generator and will have 72 hours to respond to the winner notification email. I reserve the right to pick alternative winners if the original winners do not contact me 72 hours after receipt of winner notification email.

Good luck!

      Typing too fast. Forgot to tell you why. I love hot chocolate, 1, because I am not a coffee drinker and I need something to keep me warm. 2, because all those marshmallows bring out the kid in me.

    I love homemade lattes. I have a Starbucks espresso machine at home and it’s just lovely to make a strong coffee to wake up every morning <3 I tried drinking my grandparents' drip coffee over the holidays and was soo grateful to get home to my "real" coffee. Thanks for the giveaway, fun.

    I usually only drink iced coffee drinks but around the holidays I will sometimes get their caramel apple spice drink! It is so yummy! I hate that it is a seasonal drink only, I would love it all year!

    I love hot chocolate. It’s warm so I sleep comfortably, it’s filling so it satisfies my appetite, and it’s tasty so it’s just an all around great drink. 🙂
