It's starting to get a bit cold out, which means one thing when walking around the city ... increased consumption of warm beverages while outside. For me, it's usually tea, but for others it may be hot chocolate or coffee. All those things are available at Starbucks, which you can purchase with a free gift card if you spot the following:

This holiday season, Zipcar, the world’s leading provider of cars on demand by the hour or day, has teamed up with Starbucks for some holiday fun. On December 3rd through December 12th, Zipcar will be driving around the Boston area with life size magnetic versions of Starbucks signature red holiday cups attached to their roofs. When individuals stop to warn the drivers about their coffee, the drivers will then spread the message, “Happy Holidays,” and reward the Good Samaritan with a Starbucks gift card.

To make things a little bit easier, they've even let us know where this is going to go down:

Newbury St. - Copley Square - Boylston St. – Prudential Center - Government Center - Coolidge Corner - Harvard Square - The Garden - South Station - Beacon Hill - Longwood - Comm. Ave. / Boston University.

Soooo, pretty much anywhere downtown is fair game. Keep your eyes peeled, it could mean free coffee.
