Five months ago Eric and I found a Starbucks gift card. No one was around. It didn't have a name on. We assumed it was probably empty, but I put it in my wallet anyway.
Two nights ago, while being very pregnant, but also being New Year's Eve, Eric and I went out to a cute area in our town and walked around a bit. There were free horse drawn carriage rides if you waited an hour--and shared your carriage with strangers. We went to Starbucks.
We each ordered a drink and a snack. I remembered the gift card and handed it to the nice lady with a: "I have no idea if there's anything left on here."
She checked.
"There's a bit."
$7.42 worth.
NICE!
On Black Friday, I had my first experience ever with ... well, Black Friday. And I didn't shop. I work in retail and had a shift that day. It was a lot of fun. It was crazy busy the whole time and I just kept helping customers. Anyway. While walking past the clearance section I found a gift card on the floor.
For: A Children's Place.
The envelope says there's $8.62 on the card.
I let my manager know and when no one claimed it in the appropriate amount of time, I took it home.
Once I find out the gender of Kiki Bebe (which we often call him/her), I'll be using that card on a little something.
