Misc. Ramblings

Speaking of cute, getting your morning coffee from Starbucks (a coffee company, for those who have been living in the Sudan for the last 10 years - Ed.) is sometimes made easier by using a gift card. You know, those little plastic debit card things that people give to each other as gifts when they can't think of anything else to give and don't want to give cash.

Well, it seems Starbucks has designed a special one for sale only in Hawai'i (see image below and story from the Honolulu Advertiser here). Apparently, some enterprising people are auctioning them on E-bay and making a pretty good living at it.

While I am certainly no expert in collecting gift cards, this one does look pretty nice. Maybe I'll go and get one the next time I'm in the area (how can you miss running into a Starbucks, they're everywhere - Ed.).

Aloha!
