If you know me, you know I'm a lunatic bargain hunter. My brothers and parents are golfers, and there are always great Groupon deals for golfing. I've given rounds of golf/cart rental Groupons to all of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-379050 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:11:54 +0000 MediaNaranja 379050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have once, but it was for my parents who told me they wanted it. I guess it would depend on what it was if I gave it to others, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-379042 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:06:09 +0000 Mrsbells 379042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it depends on what it was. I give sale gifts all the time. Whats wrong with sales? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-379016 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:58:14 +0000 Turd Ferguson 379016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooooh, I got a set of Groupon coupons (or maybe it was Living Social...I don't remember) for a bunch of free large fries and McDonalds. It was the best present ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-379006 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:54:48 +0000 Mrs Checkers 379006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it really depends on what it is for like others have said! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-378999 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:52:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 378999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have, but for family people who I knew wouldn't care. Like I bought my sister a spa package for us to do together, so I was the one scheduling it and stuff, but she knew it was a groupon. I got my brother one of those mail order steak groupons last year, too. But I wouldn't for someone I wasn't really close to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-378984 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:47:03 +0000 dc yoga bee 378984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: It's been a rough case of the Mondays, and I needed a good laugh today! </p> <p>I have before. I gave the whole piece of paper, and it was for a spa mani/pedi. They loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-378956 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:39:20 +0000 JoJoGirl 378956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: @Grace: @Sammyfab: Bahahah. Fair enough, but to his credit, it was a really shitty gift! A pair of pleather winter gloves with a hole in one of the fingers I DID get out of the sale bin at a shitty-to-begin-with store. I had forgotten to get him a V-Day gift and picked it up on my way home from the subway :) So perhaps I took his lecture to heart because he was right, even if a lecture was a bit uncalled for!</p> <p>Also yes I agree with Grace, if you buy the gift and give them the thing itself (spa package), I think that's great! It's more if you pay for the Groupon and give them the Groupon voucher or whatever, it gets a little odd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-378844 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:10:18 +0000 Freckles 378844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: Yah, like a printed piece of paper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-378837 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:06:55 +0000 Sammyfab 378837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: he sounds like a winner! Who gives someone a lecture on gift giving?</p> <p>I would gift a groupon to certain friends and family. I know lots of people who would appreciate a good deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-378827 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:03:21 +0000 Grace 378827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Fwiw, I think your ex was incredibly rude. Yes, it sucks that it was broken, but the ONLY acceptable response when someone gives you a gift is "thank you".</p> <p>So, you aren't giving the Groupon code as a gift right? Cause that would be the only way I'd think it was strange. This is you bought a spa package as a gift (which happened to be a Groupon)? I don't see the problem in that. Not at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-378809 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:55:04 +0000 Freckles 378809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: was it a cashmere sweater with a red dot? ;) (sorry, seinfeld reference) oh man, i would be annoyed if i got a lecture for a gift i gave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-378788 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:47:39 +0000 JoJoGirl 378788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess it depends on what it's for, but probably not. I gave an ex-bf something on sale once (that was non-refundable AND damaged.. I didn't realize until afterward) and he gave me a long lecture about giving gifts and getting people things they wouldn't normally get themselves and blah blah. He's an ex for a reason but that did stick with me :) So i probably wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-a-groupon-as-a-gift#post-378783 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:45:45 +0000 Freckles 378783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it tacky or no different from getting something on sale? Would you care if you got one?</p> <p>I'm not sure if i would give one...unless it was for DH or a really close friend who wouldnt think it was weird. I dont think i would care if i got one though, especially if it was an interesting gift! </p>
