G-Team Options for Social Good
In addition to browsing local gift options and waiting for the latest
Epic Deals to unlock, shoppers can explore the history of Grouponicus,
featuring the beloved story of Groupo the Deal Bird and his colorful new
friends. Each year, Groupo leaves his kingdom of Winterland to fly to
the homes of true believers, leaving stacks of Groupons in their ovens
to reward them for adhering to the Eight Tenets of Grouponicus.
"After the success of last year's holiday season we're bringing back
Grouponicus with seven weeks of giftable deals," said Aaron Cooper,
Groupon Chief of Gifting and author of The Gift of Chiefing. "We've
pored over some pretty incredible offers from our subscribers' favorite
merchants and narrowed it down to the best gifts in the bag. From our
once-in-a-lifetime Epic Deals to unique local experiences and the latest
fun from Groupo and his friends, the 2011 Grouponicus celebration will
be unforgettable."
