That's okay, I don't drink coffee and most of the stuff they serve in there is not healthy or at least not anything I have an interest in buying. I have been in Starbucks in the past - had a job interview there once actually and have passed by the Starbucks kiosk at the grocery store. I've seen their menu and their display case. If I'm going to go into a store such as that, I prefer the locally owned non-chain shops located here.

People that are generous themselves, people that are loved by many, people that help others often, people that are -- in effect -- like bordwithyou, get gifts quite often.

That is why I would do a generic gift, American Express gift card, Visa gift card, Something they could use it for many different types of things.

That makes absolutely no sense in relation to the post you responded to.

We get free water bottles all the time as giveaways/marketing ploys. I love it! We can never have enough b/c they either got lost or the kids chew the tops on them so much that they don't close properly. I have two that are MINE MINE MINE and I refuse to let them drink out of them so they don't ruin the tops!

Yes! Well said.


I also know that some groups get bulk GCs (one of my previous PTAs did this; they'd buy -- or have donated -- 20-30 $20 GCs to Panera or Starbucks or some such) so that they have something on hand when they want to give an extra "thank you" to a volunteer.
