TheActr97J- I'm just a water gal. Seriously, if I had to choose between all drinks, it would be water.
I guess I could try a cold coffee but to spend money (or a gift card in this case) for something I'm not interested in seems a bit stupid. Especially since it's unneeded and unwanted calories.
Their sandwiches are quite good, and reasonably priced. Their bakery items are only for major calorie splurges, however.
ETA: SweetQ, if you really don't want to use it, give it away.
Winter: Chai Tea Latte
Summer: Iced Green Tea Latte no whip cream.
vanilla bean frappuccino- any time of the year.
Of course...I do live in Florida- so its never too cold for one of those.
I haven't had one in ages, though. I'm suddenly craving.
the nearest Starbucks is about half an hour away........
however, I am addicted to the mocha lattes at Dunkin' Donuts. The gingerbread ones at Christmas were good, but the best were last holiday's Raspberry mocha......
I always get weird looks when I order frapps in the middle of winter. But mocha frappuccinos are are excellent year round. The iced tea lemonades are good, too.
SweetQ- You might try the iced tea lemonades or a hot tea. Low calories and very tasty. In fact, one of the few actually low calorie choices on the menu. lol
Green Tea Latte (Hot)
Green Tea Light Frapp (Cold)
No whip.
Vanilla Bean Frappuccino
Sweetened Black Iced Tea
Caramel Macchiato
Vanilla Latte
Wow this thread seriously made me crave Starbucks. I think I'm going to go to the nearest book store and hang out and visit the Starbucks cafe :)
I mostly get Hot Chocolate or Vanilla Bean.
And I am obsessed with their Banana Loaf!

Iced Grande Light-Ice Doppio.
Every morning.
My order every morning is a Triple Grande sugar free hazelnut non fat no foam extra hot latte.
When I'm in a fun mood, I get a Triple Venti Caramel Non Fat With Whip Extra Hot White Chocolate Mocha.
And GirlforTartaglia, there's no such thing as a 'light' version of the Green Tea Frappuccino. The cream base is already made with non fat milk. Just thought I'd impart my Starbucks wisdom so you don't get any strange looks when you order that.
I don't drink coffee (allergic) but i used to love drinking their Hot chocolate when hubby would get some freaky named coffee. That was until we saw the calorie counts, and have not been back since! =)
I'm a Cinnamon Dolce fan myself. They were sampling the Cinnamon Dolce Creme at the touring production of Altar Boyz last night, and those might just beat the lattes.
They sell coffee cups, candy, books, cds, the NY times. There are plenty of things you can waste that gift card on. However, if you have a friend who is a Starbucks fan, they generally love spending gift cards. Put it in their birthday or Valentine's card.

Chai Tea Latte w/ Soy
White Chocolate Mocha
And their Apple Cider with Caramel is so good!
Today, I thought I would try somwthing new and get a Vanilla Bean Frappucino, and it was deee-licious.
Grande/Venti Vanilla Créme... always. It is the only thing I have been willing to try.
I live in NY, of course I live off Starbucks!! My favorite drink overall there is peppermint hot chocolate for Christmas time . . . I'm so sad it's gone. It was an orgasm in a cup.

I'm sure you can still get a Peppermint Hot Chocolate. They still have hot chocolate and peppermint flavoring. I get Peppermint Mochas all year round (except when it's waaaay too hot out).
If in Heaven you don't excel, you can always party down in hell...

Mmmm I love Starbucks. My favorites have to be the Strawberry and Cream frapp, the Hot Chocolate, and their Java Chip ice cream.

"the nearest Starbucks is about half an hour away........"
I didn't realize such a place existed.
I need some Starbucks right now! I haven't had some in a week! AH!
Actually I had Carribou, but I don't think it is the same at all!
Winter: Grande steamed cider with cinnamon syrup
Summer: Strawberries & Cream frapp
I'm not all that complicated...
