Purchase and Redeem Free Deals Now and "Mominate" a Special Mom for
One-Year Supply of "Me Time"
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
In addition to spectacular deals appearing throughout the Mother's
Day Shop, Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) (http://www.groupon.com)
has six free deals to help last-minute shoppers. Not only are the deals
free for customers to get for their moms, they're also great gifts for
friends who are moms, neighbors who are moms and co-workers who are
moms. Whether it's an award, a moment of peace or a chore distribution
mechanism, Groupon's free
Mother's Day deals provide a useful and creative--and
last-minute--gift for moms everywhere.
Free Mother's Day Deals include:
-
Give
Mom a Break with The Chore Wheel
This Mother's Day, give Mom
the break she deserves by leaving any and all labor or upkeep to
whomever is close by and also not Mom. Groupon customers receive a
two-part chore wheel with customizable chore fields and completely
un-customizable fields for assigning a worker to each task. Some
assembly is required, specifically by any person other than Mom.
-
One
Official Timeout for Mom
When presented with a task, great or
small, Mothers can just present their Timeout for a reprieve from all
responsibilities. While a great item to use on Mother's Day, the
Official Timeout has no expiration date and can be reused any time Mom
needs some me-time.
-
Outstanding
Achievement in Human Creation Award
On a biological level,
Mothers are the genesis and building blocks for all scientific
discoveries. In the argument of "Which came first, the Mother or the
scientist?" Moms are the clear answer. Recognize your Mother's
advancements in the fields of biology and human sciences with this
totally real and really scientific prize. Nominees receive a voucher
that doubles as a custom certificate heaping deserved praise on
mothers for their breakthroughs in creating human life.
-
Squabbling
Siblings Peace Treaty
Don't just get the kids to say they'll
get along. Get them to sign on the dotted line of a Squabbling
Siblings Peace Treaty. Recognized by an organization like the United
Nations, this easily draftable treaty can draw from many of the same
peacekeeping protocols used to neutralize decades-long international
conflicts.
-
The
Mom-A-Phone
Groupon's new innovation, The Mom-A-Phone, helps
Moms make sure their message is heard while cutting down on avoidable
punishments for neglected chores. The conical amplification system
fits comfortably in front of the mouth, turning up the volume on
mothers' voices so instructions can fight through tiny ears clogged by
sound-dampening ossicles, ensuring that requests will never be missed
again. Moms delight in being heard, and kids feel relief after finally
having direction in their lives.
-
Quiet
Paper
Every Mom deserves a slice of peace on Mother's Day,
and Groupon is here to help with Quiet Paper. Parents just have to
print out this voucher (we recommend one to four copies per child),
set them out on a flat surface, and then marvel as young ones extract
limitless potential entertainment from pieces of whatever-grade paper
happens to be in their printer. Swoon as they create abstract
paintings with nothing more than a bit of old ketchup, or tilt your
head and laugh as cherubs ball up the Quiet Paper and invent their own
version of baseball played with crumpled-up paper instead of umpires.
In addition to the free Mother's Day deals, Groupon's social media
contest* is running through Sunday, May 11. ‘Mominate' a mother for a
chance to win a one-year supply of "Me Time." People can mominate their
own mom, significant other, a friend or even themselves. Participants
simply need to share a pic of their favorite mom and call out what makes
her unique. Submissions can be made at http://www.groupon.com/coupons/mothers-day.
Groupon judges will choose a grand-prize winning mom from the top 10
submissions with the most votes.
One grand-prize winner will receive a one-year supply of "Me Time,"
valued at $3,000 in Groupon Bucks. Two runners-up—picked randomly—will
each receive a one-time prize of $500 in Groupon Bucks.
