  • $25 for $50 Worth of Wall Decor, Including Framed Art, Prints, and Posters at Art.com

    http://www.groupon.com/r/uu983421

    Without walls, art aficionados would have to sate their passion for aesthetic composition with real-life lily ponds, starlit cafes, and gooeylicious candy pocket-watches. Keep sticky scenes at a safe distance with today's deal: for $25, you'll get $50 worth of posters, prints, and framing at art.com. This Groupon can be used toward shipping and tax, and art.com will ship purchases to any state in the United States.
    With more than 850,000 images, art.com features an immense variety of ready to hang wall pieces and decorative artwork, in addition to professional custom framing and mounting services. Choose pieces from a massive selection of media and styles, including photographs, vintage art prints, and abstract pieces, or search by subject matter for items such as iconic album covers and movie prints, including the classic Casablanca poster ($37.99 for 23.5"x31.5" print, $119.99 with added 1" wood frame). An artist search can help perusing patrons snag fine-art prints from Matisse and Munch or grab one of the pulp pieces by Andy Warhol, best known for his daring depiction of infamous midcentury gun-slingers, the Elvis triplets. Objects d'art can be framed, mounted, or laminated (framing is approximately $129.99 on average, but varies depending on art and framing choices), and canvases can be stretched taut around a thick wooden frame, replete with hand-painted edges to maintain the gallery look.
    Art.com's substantial selection should leave you confident that you’ll find a piece that suits your fancy, and an expert frame surgically attached to that piece makes for easy hanging that negates having to solder a Seurat to the stovetop. Redeem today's Groupon online, and should something go wrong, art.com features a 100% satisfaction guarantee with a dedicated customer service department.

    Eva Restaurant


    Don't get us wrong. We love taco trucks and take-out as much as the next guy. But when it's time to clean up a bit, why not go upscale-casual with $40 worth of food and drink for a mere $20 at Eva Restaurant? With fans fawning over this hip eatery with dishes made from fresh, local ingredients, you are bound to be in a culinary utopia. Take a trip to the sea with peekytoe crab and wild Alaskan salmon. If poultry is your passion, try the bacon-wrapped Jidori chicken or drake duck with smoked eggplant. One Yelper topped it off with "the fabulous salted caramel pudding with chocolate pudding on the bottom." The verdict? "It brought tears to my eyes." We'd cap off the feast with apple currant crostada, bathed in an almond crème anglaise, and just bask in one heckuva blissful food coma.
