Starbucks Mugs: Current selection

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

There are two types of people: those who have bought merchandise at Starbucks, and those who haven’t… yet.

For anyone who frequents Starbucks, it’s bound to happen sometime. You’re in line, or waiting for the barista, and something surprisingly pretty and perhaps even mildly functional catches your eye. And before you know it, you’ve bought it.

I have in fact bought a lot of merchandise at Starbucks over the years, from travel coffee mugs and ceramic teacups to milk frothers and picture frames. (Really? Did I really buy a picture frame at Starbucks?) Given the fact there’s a website with online ordering, I must not be the only one.

These mugs are all part of the current offering. I saw them in person and they’re nice. I did not buy them, though. Yet.

Kashi Cookie: Free and on its way

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

There are two types of people: those who order free samples of things and those who don’t.

I do, but I feel that I’m in the minority. I will gladly fill out an online survey or my mailing address in exchange for something free and fun to arrive in my mailbox. I’ve done this many times and derive quite a bit of satisfaction it.

I recently filled out an online form to receive a free Kashi cookie, and today I got an email to say that it’s on its way. I hope it’s the best cookie I’ve ever had. Though if not, it was free.
