We have a winner...in the Starbucks gift card giveaway!

Bookmark and Share

Thanks so much to all of you who entered my giveaway for a little holiday splurge in the form of a $10 Starbucks gift card.

I asked you to leave me comments on your favorite holiday splurges and your responses were so fun to read. Even we frugal folks have our guilty pleasures!

And, of course, I especially liked how some of you described obtaining your holiday splurges on the cheap.

Here are a couple of examples:

During the year I watch EVERY penny.  At Christmas time though, I splurge and pick up some little gifts for MYSELF!!  I get chocolate truffles, and a few gift cards that I can use during the year for a special treat once a month or so!

I've been a good girl this year, using my coupons to save where ever I can.  My little indulgence will be my favorite OPI nail polish to wear during the holidays!!  I deserve it.  Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite holiday splurge is going to Southern Season the day after Christmas to buy all kinds of delicious goodies and cute items.  Most everything is 40-50% off.

I frugally splurge on all the great restaurant gift card deals, getting a bonus 10-25% on every gift card I buy and then we have fun the rest of the yr spending the gift cards.  The biggest risk is to not lose them and often the bonus card has an expiration date.
 

If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading through the comments.

And now for the winner, chosen at random:

It's RaleighMommy, who wrote:

Our splurge in December is hiring a babysitter (gasp ... twice!) so hubby and I can have a few dates. :) Yay!

Now maybe she and RaleighDaddy can go out for a little Starbucks on date night!

Thanks again everybody for entering. And watch for another holiday giveaway starting Monday.
