$133 for a Remote Car Starter with Installation at The Detailer ($269 Value)

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:01:14 +0000

Remote car starters help drivers bypass the need to turn manual ignitions in cold weather or to hire itinerant valets to look fancy on first dates. Impress your pals with today’s Groupon: for $133, you get an Avital 4103 remote car starter with installation at The Detailer (a $269 value).

The Detailer's specialized technicians equip vehicles of all makes and models with convenient keyless ignition. Sporting an extended range, the Avital 4103's two remotes set engines purring, lock and unlock doors, and startle field mice nesting in glove compartments from up to a quarter-mile away. Once cars are started, a built-in timer keeps engines from running endlessly and wasting precious fuel. Though not included in today's deal, most new vehicles require an additional bypass module ($99), which circumvents complex ignition systems and adds extralong handles to Model T crank starters.

$5 for $10 Worth of Burgers at Back Yard Burgers. Two Locations Available.

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:00:48 +0000

The hamburger is an edible American icon, much like coleslaw made with shredded Norman Rockwell paintings. Bread, bite, and chew with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of burgers at Back Yard Burgers. Choose between the following locations: Memorial Drive and Mingo Road locations.

Back Yard Burgers' chefs sizzle patties of Black Angus beef to craft the menu's specialty cuisine, and an abundance of other classic American fare complements the bun-based delectable. Let go of a radiator to warm hands with the tasty heat of a Back Yard burger, which spans the chasm between bun halves with garden-fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles, all around a 1/3-pound of beef ($3.89). Hawaiian chicken sandwiches bring together charbroiled chicken breast and grilled pineapple ($4.39). Sides such as chili cheese fries ($2.59) pair well with hand-dipped milk shakes ($2.99), and diners whose cup still has not runneth over with Americana can sip from the goblet of a root-beer float.

Nail Services from Linda at Monkey Bizness Salon and Day Spa (Up to 51% Off). Four Options Available.

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:01:27 +0000

Like lawns or children, nails grow whether you're watching them or not. Baby your fingers with today's Groupon from Linda at Monkey Bizness Salon and Day Spa. Choose from the following options:

For $19, you get a shellac manicure (a $38 value).
For $25, you get a spa pedicure (a $50 value).
For $32, you get a spa manicure and pedicure (a $65 value).
For $44, you get a shellac manicure and a spa pedicure (an $88 value).

Linda, Monkey Bizness Salon and Day Spa's 18-year salon expert, skillfully shades nails with OPI and Creative Nail products. Shellac manicures coat nails with specially formulated paint that resists chips, cracks, and the crippling sound of nails on a chalkboard for 14 or more days; Linda can also shade finger helmets in traditional polish during the 25-minute procedure. Both hand treatments can be paired with a spa pedicure, which relaxingly soaks tootsies to soften skin and help pinky toes gain confidence in the pool without their floaties.

Monkey Bizness Salon and Spa’s name hints at the tropical color scheme of bright greens and reds inside. While wall colors inspire a jovial atmosphere, archways, a chandelier, and wall-to-wall mirroring lend greater sophistication than a cup of sugar borrowed from Buckingham Palace.

$13 for a Wine Experience for Two at Tidal School Winery and Vineyard in Drumright ($28 Value)

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:01:04 +0000

Wine stored in a bottle gets better with age, whereas a message sent in a bottle is the best way to avoid exorbitant stamp prices. Empty your own glass envelopes with today’s Groupon.

The Deal

$13 for a wine experience for two (a $28 value), which includes the following:

One package of nonalcoholic winarita or peach bellini drink mix
One fruit-and-cheese plate
Two logoed wineglasses

Tidal School Winery and Vineyard produces more than 10 wines, including a trio of newly released fruity ferments. Though not included in the Groupon, duos can purchase a bottle of wine to muddle with the winarita or peach bellini drink mix and enjoy their concoction on one of two spacious, outdoor patios that overlook whorled grapevines and majestic raisin trees. Nibbles of fruit and cheese mingle delicately with the sweet aromas wafting from a pair of wine glasses etched with the Tidal School logo.

Tidal School Winery and Vineyard

The owners of Tidal School Winery and Vineyard chose a fitting venue for educating the public about their selection of European-style and Oklahoma sweet wines—an 8,000-square-foot historic schoolhouse. Originally built in the 1920s to educate John D. Rockefeller’s workforce, the building now houses a banquet hall and tasting room where visitors can swirl, sip, and see who can spit-take the farthest with the vineyard’s wines. Further entertaining the senses, the winery hosts monthly musical events that are free to the public and spotlight Oklahoma-based bands.

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

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:01:06 +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. Arm yourself with amorous bouquets with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of flowers and gifts from FTD. FTD offers same-day delivery in most areas for orders placed by 2 p.m. in the recipient’s time zone. Service or shipping fees vary widely based on order and delivery dates but typically range from $15.99 to $29.99. For detailed instructions on how to redeem your FTD Groupon, click here.

FTD steeps rooms in the fresh scents of spring with hundreds of thoughtful bouquets delivered by artisan florists or sheathed in gold organza and shipped in an award-winning gift box. Yield to Cupid’s arrow and persistent text messages by presenting a loved one with an FTD-exclusive Sweethearts bouquet, a heart-hued collection of red roses and burgundy mini carnations elegantly interspersed with sprigs of greenery in an etched glass vase ($44.99–$64.99). Or follow a more polychromatic path with the My Everything Valentine's Day bouquet, an unexpected marriage of deep-red roses and white Asiatic lilies ($29.99–$59.99). 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. FTD backs each floral arrangement with a satisfaction guarantee, which pledges that flowers and plants will remain fresh and keep their bedrooms tidy for at least seven days.

Those looking beyond the bloom can peruse FTD’s gift galleria, which encompasses a smorgasbord of specialty gifts, including jewelry and chocolates. Live plants, such as orchids ($39.99+) or miniature roses ($19.99+), outlive their clipped comrades with a simple regimen of watering and pruning, and silk floral displays brighten up sunless corners and survive solely on nightly bedtime stories.

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:00:51 +0000

$69 for a Diamond Elite Ultrasonic Toothbrush with Free Shipping ($230.95 Value)

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:00:47 +0000

A healthy smile is able to win people over by displaying rows of pearly white teeth and emitting a cartoon "ding" sound whenever it shows itself. Teach teeth to audibly twinkle with today's Groupon: for $69, you get a Diamond Elite ultrasonic toothbrush, plus a UV sanitizing charger base, three replacement brush heads, and free shipping (a $230.95 value).

Raymond Frye, DMD, utilized his dental know-how to develop the Elite ultrasonic toothbrush, which scrubs down teeth at the speed of 30,000 dynamic strokes per minute. A built-in alert sounds every 30 seconds, letting brushers know to switch areas and reward themselves with a piece of saltwater taffy, before a two-minute timer signals the end of cleaning. The toothbrush's plaque remover reaches where normal bristles can't, and an ergonomic design cultivates brushing comfort. Personalize each dental baptism with the adjustable modes of whitening, gentle, and massage, and at brushing's end, send the Elite home to its UV sanitizing charger base to shoo away any bacterium who mistakenly thought the UV light was a disco ball.

A cleansing preps pores for the thirst-quenching lotions of the HydraFacial, which infuses the skin of the T-zone and the kisser with blasts of hydration so clients don’t have to shower with a fire hose to feel moisturized. The pampering leaves mugs soothed, refreshed, and completely clean, and it doesn’t require downtime or leave behind redness after treatment.

One, Three, or Five Airbrush-Tanning Sessions from Terisa Ellsworth at The White Room Salon and Boutique in Tulsa (Up to 72% Off)

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:00:47 +0000

Other than sporting a constant tan, the best way to trick yourself into thinking it's perpetually summertime is to tattoo sunglasses on everyone's faces. Make summer eternal the easy way with today's Groupon to Terisa Ellsworth at The White Room Salon and Boutique in Tulsa. Choose from the following options:

For $12, you get one airbrush-tanning session (a $35 value).

$10 for $20 Worth of American Comfort Fare at Evelyn’s

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:01:09 +0000

Eating together, like being buried up to your necks in the same cube of cement, keeps families together. Build a solid foundation with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of American comfort fare at Evelyn’s.

Pan-fried and meat-centric feasts run rampant at Evelyn’s, where a kitchen crew comforts grumbling stomachs with a menu of hearty American eats. Incisors eagerly tear into two golden pieces of fried chicken ($8.29), or easily confused taste buds ponder the taxonomy of chicken-fried steak ($8.59). Flames leave their trademark grill lines across tender cuts of chopped sirloin ($8.59), juxtaposed by the crispy texture of deftly fried catfish ($11.99). Thick, savory gravy floods roasted turkey ($8.99), which treats tasters to more Thanksgiving flavor than cranberry sauce ladled out of a cockle hat.

$59 for Custom 71"x53" Photo Blanket, Plus Shipping, from PhotoWeavers ($129 Value)

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:00:56 +0000

Blankets provide warmth at night, security capes for children, and nourishment for roaming hordes of goats. Wrap up in a personalized wonder-covering with today's Groupon: for $59, you get a custom 71"x53" photo blanket (a $129 value, shipping included) from PhotoWeavers, a family-owned textile mill that re-creates images by weaving them into the fabric, rather than printing over finished cloth.

The blanket-design process offers myriad creative options for those tired of basic fleeces and plaid throws. First, upload a photo and choose either the simple method, which produces a blanket with just the image woven into the surface, or the customizable method, which allows users to personalize the image with borders, labels, and insignias. With the latter method, customers can unleash their inner designer with themed borders depicting hobbies such as golf or fishing; insignias celebrating friends or family in uniform; or graphics celebrating holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries. For example, upload an image of the family dog chasing its tail, add a dog-themed border with tennis balls and biscuits, and insert a wildly creative, custom caption such as "dog blanket." After the image and graphic layout is submitted, a PhotoWeavers designer will weave the image into a blanket using around 8 miles of cotton thread, which is roughly equivalent to three zillion Q-tips.

Though PhotoWeavers sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
