Up to 75% Off Small, Medium, or Large Photo-Print Reproductions on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas from Picture It On Canvas

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:01:10 +0000

In the past, photo prints were done with a gigantic Polaroid, but they never developed properly because nobody was big enough to shake the massive canvases. Harness the power of the digital age with today's Groupon for a photo-print reproduction on gallery-wrapped canvas from Picture It On Canvas, including shipping, handling, and tax. Choose from the following options:

For $39, you get a 16"x20"x1.5" photo-print reproduction on gallery-wrapped canvas (a $110 value, plus $14.95 shipping; a $124.95 total value).
For $45, you get an 18"x24"x1.5" photo-print reproduction on gallery-wrapped canvas (a $145 value, plus $14.95 shipping; a $159.95 total value).
For $49, you get a 24"x30"x1.5" photo-print reproduction on gallery-wrapped canvas (a $178 value, plus $14.95 shipping; a $192.95 value).

With a quick, electron-enabled visit to Picture It On Canvas's product descriptions and a photon-carried look at its how-to template, customers can dive into the intersecting worlds of art, interior décor, and science. Snappers select a prize digital or analog photo from their archives and then use the online order form to begin the photomorphosis.

Picture It On Canvas's canvases are made of archival-quality material, which is thicker, more durable, and less likely to get stuffed into a roommate's back pocket and creased than the traditional photo-paper medium. Its thick-bar gallery wrap caresses the 1.5-inch-thick edges of pieces with a snug, canvasy embrace that's suitable for hanging without a frame. Customers can consult the FAQs with questions about canvases or to help determine whether the clouds above their homes are the cumulus variety.

$169 for an Oral-Health Exam and Zoom! Whitening Treatment at Dr. Michael A. Smith, DDS, in Germantown ($487 Value)

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:00:51 +0000

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, much to the chagrin of brokers who invested heavily in cure. Get in while prevention's still hot with today's Groupon: for $169, you get an oral-health exam, x-rays, and a Zoom! whitening treatment from Dr. Michael A. Smith, DDS, in Germantown (a $487 total value).

Dr. Michael A. Smith and his team of dental hygienists recruit modern tools to ensure the health of smiles during 90- to 120-minute appointments. After patients settle into streamlined chairs amid flora and relaxing lighting, a hygienist peers around bicuspids, examining crevices for decay and lost diary keys. Four bitewing x-rays (a $59 value) and a basic exam (a $74 value) then infiltrate jaw lines, surveying issues buried beneath enamel and gums to ensure a patient’s eligibility for the Zoom! whitening treatment (a $350 value). Technicians first slather chompers in the specially formulated Zoom! gel before shining an LED light over them, initiating a quick, painless chemical reaction that brightens teeth without wrapping them in Christmas lights. After three 15-minute sessions, patients rinse their teeth and often admire their instantly brighter grin.

Our customers loved this deal last year, earning Dr. Michael A. Smith, DDS, a spot on Groupon's Best of 2011 list.

$19 for an Auto-Upkeep Package with Standard Oil Change and Tire Rotation at Midas ($38.18 Value)

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:01:02 +0000

Auto shops assist cars in almost any condition, even the ones injured while competing against forklifts in boulder-hauling contests. Keep your car in top form with today's Groupon: for $19, you get a standard oil change with a tire rotation and 27-point safety inspection at Midas (a $38.18 value).

The ASE-certified service technicians at Midas coax maximum mileage out of engines with infusions of Mobil 1 and Castrol motor oils. During each oil change, techs lure damaged oils from the car, consult the car's correct viscosity level and allergy chart, and add up to 5 quarts of clean conventional oil. A new oil filter replaces its grime-ridden predecessor, and rotations give tires a change of scenery and keep the tread wearing down evenly. Techs also take a 27-point tour of the vehicle's major components, using perceptive eyes to scan the car and preempt potential issues such as low fluids or hoses that have been replaced by live pythons.

Our customers loved this deal last year, giving Midas a place on Groupon’s Best of 2011 list.

One-Night Stay for Two at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:01:11 +0000

Modern Hotel with Historic Roots Minutes from Downtown Nashville

As the legend goes, President Teddy Roosevelt visited the Maxwell House Hotel in 1907, had a sip of the house coffee—a new blend created by a Nashville entrepreneur—and proclaimed it "good to the last drop," launching a business slogan that endures today. Although a fire in 1981 destroyed the original hotel, its brand name lives on less than 3 miles away at the modern Millennium Maxwell House Hotel. Beyond just its namesake, the hotel is steeped in the local flavor of Music City: its lobby is covered in colorful paintings of guitars and musical memorabilia, and a complimentary shuttle takes guests to and from the downtown area.

One can see the lights of downtown Nashville or the rolling hills of Tennessee from each of the superior king rooms. Rooms throughout the building are covered in iconic Hatch Show Prints, the letterpress-style posters that have historically advertised concerts and shows throughout downtown Nashville. And each morning, guests can dig into a southern breakfast buffet spread.

Decorative barrels and a dusty wooden piano give an old-timey feel to Maxwell's Lounge, the hotel's onsite bar. Local musicians periodically grace the stage for live performances here, and bartenders craft a wide array of southern martinis; all the while, scattered TV screens throughout broadcast sporting events and heated debates between candidates for president of the George Jones Fan Club. Alternatively, Praline's Restaurant serves à la carte breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a casual setting, with vibrant red walls and large picture windows overlooking a grassy knoll.

Nashville, Tennessee: American Music Landmark with Lively Honky-Tonks

Millennium Maxwell House resides within 5 miles of downtown Nashville, a small city best known for its thriving country-music scene. Since the 1920s, droves of musicians and songwriters have traveled past the area's emerald grasslands and into downtown to perform in storied music halls and smoky bars.

Famous crooners and Elvis impersonators alike perform on Lower Broadway, a Vegas Strip-esque area complete with flashing neon lights plus a string of honky-tonks and laid-back hole-in-the-wall joints. Beyond country, Nashville also has a growing alternative-music scene fueled by local garage bands and popular record stores; one such vinyl-heavy record shop is owned by White Stripes front man and Nashville resident Jack White.

For a look back at the city’s musical history, the Country Music Hall of Fame showcases a range of artifacts from Willie Nelson’s bandana to Elvis Presley’s solid-gold 1960 Cadillac limo. Contemporary country stars narrate the recorded audio tour, which covers America’s roots music from the early days of settlers fiddling on their porches to modern days of children playing banjos built out of iPads and pogo sticks.

Winner of Best Jewelry Store in the Commercial Appeal's Best of Memphis contest for 2010 and 2011, Robert Irwin Jewelers beautifies bodies with an extensive assortment of silver, gold, and gem-studded jewelry. Buyers can decorate décolletages with 18 inches of 6.5- to 7-millimeter pearls held together with an elegant sterling-silver clasp that deters love bites from flirtatious werewolves. Each necklace comes with a complimentary black pouch to safeguard jewelry as it awaits its next moment to shine. Robert Irwin Jewelers has equipped patrons with elegant accessories since 1977, when founding brothers Robert and Irwin traversed the United States to dispense their handmade jewelry to retailers and escape gangs of oysters demanding their pearls back.

$10 for $20 Worth of Wine and a Complimentary Tasting at Century Farm Winery in Jackson

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:00:54 +0000

Like choosing a prom date, choosing a favorite wine necessitates sampling a variety to determine which one will produce the nicest bouquet. Enjoy the fruits of competitive courting with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of wine and a complimentary wine tasting at Century Farm Winery in Jackson.

Century Farm orchestrates a bright spectrum of dry, semisweet, and fruity wines in a charming country shop surrounded by acres of shady arbors and southern grape vines. Only 4.5 years old, the blossoming winery proved its mettle at the 2011 Wines of the South Competition by collecting three awards—the Best of Tennessee Fruit–William O. Beach Award for its 2009 vintage traminette; a silver medal for its 2009 Norton; and a bronze for its 2009 red muscadine. While guests peruse bottles, a complimentary tasting introduces palates to the subtle notes and intricacies of varieties such as the dry, oaked 2010 Norton ($12.95) or the semisweet 2008 traminette ($12), with fruity layers and a spicy finish. Century Farm also hosts musical performances on select Saturdays from late April to September, during which visitors may enjoy wine tastings, picnics, and slow dances with graceful vines.

$25 for One 11"x17" Black-and-White Lithograph of a Hollywood Icon by Frank Worth from Capital Art ($189 Value)

$20 for $40 Worth of Flowers and Gifts from FTD

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:01:09 +0000

Fresh flowers spruce up Valentine's Day dates easier than making your own candy or paying your nephew to dress as a Cupid-themed living statue.

FTD offers same-day delivery in most areas for orders placed by 2 p.m. in the recipient’s time zone.

Red roses and pink lilies spring forth from a sculpted red vase in the Lasting Romance bouquet ($69.99–$94.99), and a spray of 12 long-stemmed roses ($49.99; $59.99 with vase) stands firmly on stems that measure around 16 inches without heels.

$45 for $100 Worth of Wine and Merchandise Online from OneHope Wine

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:01:23 +0000

Though a charity auctioneer’s fast-paced gibbering can raise a hefty sum for a worthy cause, he’s usually just trying to further his country-rap career. Today's Groupon gets you a far more intelligible way to give: for $45, you get $100 worth of wine and merchandise online from OneHope Wine. OneHope donates a portion of its sales proceeds to partner charities, specifying the exact cause and amount during the purchasing process.

The young crew behind OneHope believes wine can do more than dance with flavor and enliven social gatherings, employing its award-winning California wines to help fund good works. The grape merchants fill elegant bottles with rich potions, including California merlot, cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, zinfandel, and sauvignon blanc ($18.99 each). Created in partnership with Robert Mondavi Jr., the 2009 merlot is aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels by high-grade organic time, resulting in flavors of toasty spice and a versatile drinkability.

Worthy causes such as the AIDS/LifeCycle, the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and Act Today! soak up the benefits of OneHope's fundraising. The company has garnered distribution at big events and has seen its cause championed by celebs including Lisa Rinna and a slew of others. Today's Groupon makes a fine gift for the humanitarian vineyard enthusiast previously accustomed to stomping grapes for veterans.
