Groupon Gets Ready for the Big 0-5 with Series of Sought-After Deals

Most 5-year-olds grasp the concept of time and learn to follow multi-step directions. Groupon (GRPN)(http://www.groupon.com) has developed emotional prowess and fine motor skills well beyond its years and is celebrating five years of great offerings with five more outstanding deals, including:

• Personalized Cat Drawing One or three custom-drawn cat pictures in black and white or color from I Want to Draw a Cat For You (at http://www.groupon.com/deals/iwanttodrawacatforyou-com)
• Five-Foot Party Cake Along with the cake, the cake delivery team will also sing "Happy Birthday" five times, until the words have lost all meaning
• Skydiving with a Member of the Groupon Staff One terrified Groupon employee will share in the skydiving experience, and present you with a green Groupon track suit emblazoned with your name to commemorate the moment
• Five Favorite Deals Five deals that run the gamut of good times - food, fitness, recreation and relaxation, plus an item from Groupon Goods; the catch is, you won't know what we're sending you until you open the box to find Goods and printed-out Groupon vouchers inside
• Professional Candle-Blower and Wishing Team The team will come to the party and respectfully ignore guests until it's time to blow out the birthday candles using their above-average lung capacity and perfectly dry, spit-free breath

"Groupon has grown up a lot in the past five years, from one daily deal to a marketplace of thousands of amazing deals," said Barnicus Stapleton, Groupon Chief of Calendars and author of Calendar Templates: It's Easy to Control Time. "We wanted to acknowledge that growth spurt with deals based around the five elements: fire, air, music, cats and cakes."
