[Starbucks](http://time.com/4105283/starbucks-holiday-cups-evolution/) gift cards are an [extremely popular holiday gift](http://fortune.com/2015/01/05/starbucks-holiday-gift-cards/), and this year, the chain is making it easier than ever to show how much you truly care about someone with the gift of [coffee](http://time.com/35568/7-surprising-facts-about-caffeine/). Or in this case, the gift of a [$200 Swarovski crystal-encrusted gift card](http://store.starbucks.com/deep-blue-starbucks-card-adorned-with-swarovski-crystals-011053891.html?siteID=TnL5HPStwNw-JIPIzVj%5FIfOpIg%5FTA9qsvQ&cm%5Fmmc=Affiliate-%5F-TnL5HPStwNw-%5F-Evergreen-%5F-na) that comes preloaded with $50 worth of coffee on it.

The [limited-edition](http://time.com/4143493/free-starbucks-for-life-sweepstakes/) Starbucks Card is covered in deep blue crystals and is part of the 2015 Premium Card Collection. But hey, if the $150 difference that you’re paying for just the card is too much for you, there are always [tumblers](http://store.starbucks.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-Starbucks-Site/default/Search-Show?q=Swarovski&simplesearch=) that are cheaper, you know, a budget-friendly $70.
