Groupon has last-minute Mother's Day gifting options for every mom,
even if you're celebrating from afar or you've simply forgotten to buy a
present
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Groupon recognizes that it's difficult for everyone to make it home for
Mother's Day, thus missing out on the irreplaceable, unquantifiable time
spent with Mom and the rest of the family. As a result, Groupon is
offering the ultimate experience called ''A Mother's Love is Priceless''
(http://gr.pn/momday) where for just
$25,000 a perfect child stand-in, who is really a twenty-six-year-old
adult male, will travel to Mom and spend the day with her. Mr. Perfect,
Johnny Cadillac, is a highly trained Groupon employee who will hang out
with Mom and do all of the things that she has always lovingly nagged
you to do such as eat five full servings of vegetables (at once), rinse
dishes before placing them in the dishwasher, wear pants and even be
nice to your sister.

"While you can't really put a price tag on hanging out with Mom on
Mother's Day, we think we've found the next best solution," said Johnny
Cadillac, Groupon Son. "I'm incredibly skilled at all of the things Mom
has always asked you to do--even though you and I both know they're for
your own good."
The entire ''A Mother's Love is Priceless'' stand-in experience includes:
-
One Groupon employee to fill in for you with your mom on Mother's Day
-
16 hours of enthusiastic obedience as your Groupon proxy dotes on your
mother and completes common household chores
-
Airfare for your Groupon proxy to travel to your mother's home (valid
only in the continental U.S.)
-
A $5,000 shopping spree for Mom at her favorite local stores
-
A one-day stretch limo rental
-
House-cleaning services
-
A family photo
-
A catered, in-home family dinner for up to six people, including
centerpieces, candelabras, linens and food
A short video clip of Johnny's areas of expertise--complete with a mom
testimonial--can be found here.
In addition to the ''A Mother's Love is Priceless'' experience, Groupon
also has several free last-minute Mother's Day gifting options,
including:
-
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
Official 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.
-
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.
