Since many of us are in the market for gifts to give people and spa type things - I thought I might mention Groupon and Living Social.
They send out a different deal five or six days a week. The deals are for all sorts of things like $125 in spa services for $50, $40 in food at a restaurant for $20, a couples massage at the spa in Hotel Murano (I think) for $80, a car detail for $75 and a lot of different classes - unlimited jazzercize for a month, yoga classes for a month, etc. Groupon does one for Tacoma and one for Seattle. I was skeptical at first (because I'm just like that) but I signed up for the emails anyways to check it out. Then I got to "Holy crap! These are some awesome deals!" A lot of them are things that make great gifts for those who help you along the way - for a really reduced price.
Today's Living Social deal is $99 for a party for up to 40 at Belltown Billiards - with two pool tables for your group and snacks for up to 40. I'm sure booze is extra but that might make for a really fun bachelor/ette party.
I swear to you - I don't work for either of these companies. I just love a deal and I'm big on getting and giving more for my money.
I'm not including my "I referred you to Groupon" link - but I'll send it if you're interested. They'll give me a $10 credit when you buy your first Groupon which I would gladly split with you and mail you $5. I promise. Just PM me.
