  1. Definately a hot cup of coffee with no interruptions! I love my coffee, baths I can take or leave. My tub isn't one of those big garden tubs, so I never relax.

    ReplyDelete
  2. My answer probably disqualifies me but since you chose two of my favorite things I can't chose between them. Instead I would opt to take a bath IN my coffee! See? You CAN have your cake and eat it too!

    ReplyDelete
  3. I would totally go for the bath, but someone would have to hook me up with a bathtub first. I only have a small shower. :(
    I've been yearning for a nice deep bathtub...

    ReplyDelete
  4. Oh, and I hope you feel better soon. :)

    ReplyDelete
  5. Well, since I never get to finish one I'm gonna say a nice cup of coffee!

    ReplyDelete

  83. A nice hot cup of uninterrupted coffee any day of the day

    ReplyDelete
  84. Tea (with a book :P), definitely!

    ReplyDelete
  85. I'm going with the bath, for the pure novelty of it.

    Thanks and have a great time with the contests!

    ReplyDelete
  86. an uninterrupted bath anytime! the only exception is hubby joining me!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  88. Hard to decide - but I would probably say coffee.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Definitely the coffee! It is much easier to enjoy a good book with coffee than in a bath, and I like my pleasures together. :)

    ReplyDelete
  90. I enjoy both... but I'd probably go for the coffee! Great giveaway! Fun game! Thanks so much!

    ReplyDelete
  91. If I can't have both... A nice hot bath is my favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  92. coffee... no doubt. count me in!

    ReplyDelete
  93. I could have sworn that I commened yesterday! Anyhoo, I prefer a nice long bath with something to read and yummy smelly stuff. I don't drink hot coffee BUT I love me some frappuccino!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Ooo, ooo, ooo, coffee!! And especially Starbucks coffe. Sign me up.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Well, I am a gas station cheap cappuccino drinker, hehe. But I do love Starbucks Spiced apple cider! I would love to sit in the tub with my coffee and a good book, but I would choose my coffee over the bath any day. As a matter of fact the last time I got in the bath instead of a shower was the night before my son was born, and he is 15 months old, lol.
    My 16yo loves her baths, as well as my mom, who will soon be living here.

    ReplyDelete
  96. The un-interupted bath sounds heavenly. I can enjoy coffee even with an audience, a bath not so much so!

    ReplyDelete
  99. I would LOVE a hot cup of tea without interruptions. That happens....never!

    ReplyDelete
  100. I'd choose a hot cup of coffee (or even better, hot cocoa), hands down. I tried to get into taking baths when I had a jacuzzi tub in my last house, but just never quite got the appeal. I loved the first few minutes, but the water never stayed warm enough long enough to make the all the work worth it.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I would choose the bath - nice hot and steamy. The tea on the side would be a bonus. I need coffee in the morning so that is never un-interrupted.

    ReplyDelete
  102. A hot bath with no interruptions while drinking a nice warm cup of tea!!!!!! :~)


    laura_licious101(AT)hotmail(DOT)com

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  108. Can I have the bath with a cup of coffee on the side?

    ReplyDelete
  109. I would have to say I want the best of both worlds...

    ljbs3 (at) juno (dot) com

    ReplyDelete
  110. I'd pick a cup of tea... with a book... I've never really gotten into long baths! (I know, I'm weird.)

    ReplyDelete
  114. Two of my favorite things too! And I love that mug. Hmm, I'd choose the bath; it would last longer than a cup of coffee!

    ReplyDelete
  115. For me - a (Lush) bath with no interuptions. I can only imagine what that's like.

    ReplyDelete
  116. I'd choose the coffee or tea. I tend to get too hot in the tub and jump out before I'm totally relaxed.

    Love Lush bath bombs:-)

    ReplyDelete
  117. Funny..those are my favorite things too.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Count me in! I'm for a hot bath!!

    ReplyDelete
  119. The bath all the way. Please enter me in your give-away.

    ReplyDelete

    jchoppes[at]hotmail[dot]com

    ReplyDelete
  121. A cup of tea cause I'd enjoy it in my hot tub! ;O) Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Hhhmmm, that's some serious thinking for a Monday!

    I think I will have to go with coffee!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  123. I've loved LUSH products from when I studied abroad in London and it's been forever since I've been able to indulge in one of their bath bombs. I would probably have to pick an uninterrupted bath as Starbucks is more widely available where I live.

    Of course, it's a toss up and two thumbs up to you for combining two of my favorite things!

    ReplyDelete
  124. Ah, a nice, peaceful bath sounds oh so wonderful right about now. :)

    ReplyDelete
  125. That bath bomb is the bomb! Oh what fun that would be.

    ReplyDelete
  126. I vote for an uninterrupted bath!

    This is a great giveaway! Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  127. I would definately choose the bath! My toddler has to take a bath everytime mommy is going for one.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Most definitely a bath -Count me in please!

    ReplyDelete
  129. My wit is not so original I am sure that no one else has suggested it, but could I have my coffee served to me in the tub, by a hunk?

    ReplyDelete
  130. I would take the nice relaxing warm drink. I've never been able to enjoy long soaks, the water gets chilly, and I end up being bored and cold.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Great giveaway:) Count me in! It def. would be the bath!!!

    ReplyDelete
  132. Probably the bath, just because it would take longer! I can suck down the coffee if need be...

    ReplyDelete
  133. I would love an uninterrupted bath.

    Under one condition...does it have to be MY bathtub?

    Cause I want my bath to be in the tub that was in Pretty Woman...not my dinky little tub that when I get in it, my knees, pregnant belly, and chest area all stick up out of the water and get COLD.

    If I have to take it in my tub...I'll take a nice hot cup of tea, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Give me the coffee any day! ;) Please put my name in the hat...my email address is in my profile.

    ReplyDelete
  135. I don't have the most alluring bathroom - not alluring enough to lounge in so I'd have to go with the coffee. Please pick me!

    ReplyDelete
  136. The coffee, but when they perfect the (affordable) waterproof laptop so I can be online in the tub, THEN the bath might win out (how sad am I?)!

    ReplyDelete
  137. I'm going to have to say a bath. I get to have coffee every day, and although I would enjoy it more if it were uninterrupted, I NEVER get to take a bath. And an interrupted bath is certainly not worth the trouble!

    Thanks for including us up North!

    ReplyDelete
  138. Oh, I'd love to win! Both choices are incredibly tempting, but if I had a choice I'd go with the coffee. Please count me in! Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  143. A Nice cup of coffee without being interupted by one of the 7 children or dh. Now that would be nice.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Stop by my place to win a bath set & candles or one of two copies of a book I'm giving away.

    delcourt5(@)telus(.)net

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  147. With six little ones (all under 7) running around, I would have to say that I would die for a nice hot bath UnINTERupTED!!! Please pick me!

    ReplyDelete
  148. Definitely a cup of coffee without interuptions! I'm usually chugging coffee while trying to blow dry my hair and then, I finish it in my "go-cup" on the way to school. It would be bliss to drink a cup of coffee that was the same temp from start to finish!

    ReplyDelete
  150. I would certainly choose the coffee! I always have to re-microwave mine 3 or 4 times because I keep getting interrupted!


    cdcmail(at)gmail(dot)com

    ReplyDelete
  151. Wow. Tough choice. With two boys that always seem to burst in on my baths or a nice cup of "Hot" (What's hot anymore?) tea, I guess I would have to choose a nice hot bath. (maybe I can sneak a cup of hot tea in the tub).
    Thanks for the great giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  152. You ask a hard question...as the mother of a toddler I'd have to go with the cup of coffee. I just really can't visualize an uninterupted bath. :)

    ReplyDelete
  153. Definitely the coffee with no interruptions! Please include me!

    ReplyDelete
  154. wow - this could score me some real points with my wife!

    ReplyDelete
  156. I wouldn't mind a Starbucks Hot Chocolate w/ mint! YUMMO! I love Bath Fizzy Balls too!

    ReplyDelete
  157. I'd have to say a bath with no interruptions...seems every time I try to relax in the tub, everyone has to get in the bathroom

    ReplyDelete
  158. I choose the coffee! Preferably at Starbucks with a good book.nw_wife(at)hotmail(dot)com

    ReplyDelete
  159. hmm...a tough decision. I love drinking tea, but a bath would be AMAZING...I haven't taken a bath in ages (don't worry, I shower!!)

    ReplyDelete
  160. A bath gets my vote...but can I have the bath and cup of tea whilst in the bath? Now that sounds ideal!

    ReplyDelete
  161. If I had to choose it would be an uninterrupted bath, thank goodness, with this great giveaway, I don't have to choose:)

    ReplyDelete
  162. An uninterrupted bath in one of those gigantic luxorius bathrooms with candles and rose petals everywhere. Ahhhh peace.

    ReplyDelete
  163. LUSH is my oh-my-gosh favorite bath stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  164. I see I'm not the only selfish one and want BOTH of those. :) The bath wins by a hair. Oh, you've made me in the mood to draw the water and fill the tub right now. It's snowing. Perfect day for a bath. Great giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  165. I would choose tea and quiet time! That mug is great!

    ReplyDelete
  166. the cup of tea baby! I am not a bath person!

    ReplyDelete
  167. That's a hard decision for me because it depends what time of day it is. I really love a bath before bed, but I love a hot cup of tea almost any time of day, especially uninterrupted. So, I guess I'll choose the tea.... and that Starbucks card!

    ReplyDelete
  168. Bath...
    Thanks for such a great giveaway!

  171. I fell in love with LUSH just this year at my annual "One night away with Hubby" Event. I fell in love with Starbucks years ago and have been a devoted fan ever since. I do enjoy Starbucks often, but only enjoy a bath once a year.
    Have a blessed day.
