Limited-Edition Mother’s Day Premium Starbucks Card

$200.00
Treat Mom with the first ever metal & ceramic Starbucks Card. It comes pre-loaded with $50, beautifully packaged and ready-to-gift.

Yes, that's a $150 piece of tiny metal in a pretty box with $50 Starbucks dollars loaded on to it. WTF.

That's ridiculous

[Daria Morgandorffer]

Wait it is partially made with ceramic? How the fuck is this thing not going to break the first time you drop it?

[pixy0stix]

They must have sold enough special cards during xmas to think that this is a good idea to bring back.

[cattledogkisses]

And yet you know that someone, somewhere, will buy this.

[heyjude]

No.

[msmerymac]

At least the Christmas one was all stainless steel AND a keychain.

[laurenpetro]

but it has FIFTY WHOLE DOLLARS ON IT. totally worth it.

[rugbywife]

So I can get a gold card free (well, after buying a whole bunch of drinks, lol) but pay 150 for a metal one? Nope.

And I hope their mother smacks them upside the head and asks where their sense is.

That's just stupid.

i'm assuming this is more akin to the type of ceramics used to make like...fancy ass knives and parts for NASA.  Not like the stuff you use to make a coffee cup.

[ttt]

I don't get it. Who is buying these???

That's like 10 whole starbucks drinks!

[darnkatz]

If someone gifted this to me, I'd return it for cash.

[wise_rita]

Um...just buy a $200 gift card.

Who's this stupid, seriously?

A lot of people. Sadly that's how they know they can get away with it.

[speckledfrog]

Isn't collecting Starbucks cards a thing? I think there are definitely people who will buy this.

[josieposy]

I'd rather have $200 worth of actual coffee.

[RandZB]

That is absurd and I would smack anyone who gave me that.
