Bloom Essentials
http://www.bloomessentials.com/
1854 W 1st Ave., Vancouver, British Columbia

The friendly staff at Bloom Essentials specializes in lavish foot and toe treatments, and the boutique spa, launched by two sisters, has been pampering the tired and over-walked peds of locals since 1997. Your Groupon is good for the Picasso pedicure ($65), which begins with a soothing soak to lull stressed feet into a state of serenity. Next, an expert pedicurist will buff your feet, trim your nails, rub your toes and fins, and finally, paint your keratin-tips. In this especially artistic pedicure, the talented toe-Picassos will adorn your nails with one of their creative designs. Ask for serene, overlapping shades of blue to decorate your toe-shields, or opt to switch the placement of your biggest two toes for the weekend. The talented staff will happily execute your artistic zebra-striped or polka-dotted vision while you sit back, relax, and ponder the pros and cons of switching to unsalted butter.

In addition to the pedicure, your feet will undergo a sweet honey heel foot treatment ($20), during which they’ll be slathered with Farmhouse Fresh’s honey heel glaze, a rich moisturizer blended from honey, aloe, and pineapple and papaya extracts. So take this opportunity to treat your feet to a day of beauty, or gift this Groupon to a tropics-bound friend to ensure her toes look stunning in the sand.

Grouse Mountain
http://www.grousemountain.com/
6400 Nancy Greene Wy., North Vancouver, British Columbia

Grouse Mountain offers stressed and hardened city-dwellers a serene and stunning naturescape, where dramatic peaks jut toward the sky only about 15 minutes north of downtown Vancouver. Your Groupon is good for general admission to various activities, a tour of The Eye of the Wind turbine, and the scenic, mile-long skyride it takes to get there. You’ll soar above the mountain’s Douglas firs, in full view of the glittering Pacific Ocean and the mighty Vancouver metropolis, before arriving at your destination, the peak-top turbine. Once there, you’ll ascend the 20-storey giant in an elevator located within its supporting shaft, until you reach the viewing area below the hub of the rotating blades, where, on a clear day, you can take in the mountain-top 360-degree views of Mts. Baker, Rainier, and Garibaldi, as well as the frighteningly close revolving blades and teeth-baring kittens.

Back on the ground, you’ll enjoy the perks of the peak-top activities and be free to experience summer or winter shows and more such as the endangered wildlife refuge, the Lumberjack Show, whimsical winter fun (snowshoeing, skating, sleigh rides, snow-angel seeking archeological digs, etc.), and the Theatre in the Sky, a high-def cinematic parlour showing documentaries that explore the area’s history and wildlife. So seize this rare opportunity to lift off the ground without the Ouija board, or gift this Groupon to a visiting couple of cousins.

Reviews
Grouse Mountain is a Frommer’s Very Highly Recommended destination and one of the Daily Mail’s Six Things You Must Do in Vancouver. It was also featured by NileGuide, the Straight, and the Sun and was given a four-star average from TripAdvisors.

Conceived and opened by a team of mom entrepreneurs, Kokopelli Café whips up its daily house-made goodies and coffee creations in a stylish and family-friendly environment. The batter-covered confectioners at Kokopelli start baking at 5 a.m. each day to ensure customers’ teeth meet little resistance against the moist, fresh-baked cakes. Your Groupon allows you to mix up to two flavours to create a well-balanced half dozen. The café offers six different takes on the cakes; you can choose from among the classic vanilla, chocolate, and coconut cakes or opt for a more adventurous twist on the delicacy. A frosty lemon cupcake makes cake from life’s lemons, while the chocolate mint and Oreo-themed cupcakes do not.

Kokopelli Café boasts a cozy neighbourhood environment, with tasteful art dotting the walls and a play area for small children and their frosting-topped, ephemeral companions. Pick up a half dozen cupped cakes for an upcoming party and sneak one for yourself while enjoying a steamy medium latte for 20% off with today’s Groupon.

Vancouver Global ComedyFest
http://www.comedyfest.com/
Vogue Theatre, 918 Granville St., Vancouver, BC

A good laugh is as essential and elusive as finding a good man or a perfectly packed can of spray cheese. Today’s Groupon gets giggles and all-out laughs in abundance: you get admission to an event at the Vancouver Global ComedyFest. Now in its seventh year, the festival runs from Thursday, September 16, through Sunday, September 26, at various venues throughout the city. Purchase a Groupon for one of the following shows, all of which take place at the Vogue Theatre:

•$16 for admission to Comedy Action Pack in 3-D, featuring Reza Peyk, Jy Harris, and Gary Fong, on Friday, September 17, at 8 p.m. (up to a $33.50 value)
•$21 for admission to Best of the Fest on Saturday, September 25, at 7:30 p.m. (up to a $43.75 value)
•$19 for admission to Tom Green on Friday, September 24, at 8 p.m. (up to a $38 value)
•$20 for admission to Gerry Dee on Thursday, September 23, at 8 p.m. (up to a $40 value)
•$20 for admission to Edge of the Fest on Saturday, September 25, at 10 p.m. (up to a $41.25 value)

The Global ComedyFest corrals some of the best and brightest comedians on the international circuit into Vancouver for a marathon of laughs, fun, and moderately uncomfortable first dates. Big names such as zany former MTV staple Tom Green perform alongside up-and-comers in more than 30 performances throughout the festival. Eschew the everyday monodimensional comedy with a combination stand-up and comedy 3-D video show featuring Canada’s own Reza Peyk, Jy Harris, and Gary Fong, or opt for a night of “it’s funny because it’s true” laughs at the Gerry Dee show. The Edge of the Fest performance pushes the festival’s edgiest artists to the limits of social acceptability, while the Best of the Fest showcases top comedians such as Greg Behrendt and Peter Chao.

Live comedy is always more exciting than hearing it secondhand, in the same way that “you had to be there” to think your friend’s latest mishap or quip was funny. The Global ComedyFest brings living, breathing comedians to your backyard to be laughed at and pelted with water balloons of joy.

#210-1508 W Broadway, Vancouver, British Columbia

The friendly and experienced staff at Skin2 Laser Aesthetics Centre has been waging war against stray and overgrown strands at the West Broadway clinic for almost four years. Use today’s Groupon to zap hairs from one of the following regions of the body: underarms, brows, bikini area, chin, upper lip, sideburns, dorsal fin, hairline, neck, ears, foot, and nipples. Treatments are held up to health-clinic standards, and during your three laser hair-removal sessions, the trained technicians will employ the use of the Palomar Starlux 500, which, with a single pulse of light, painlessly obliterates hundreds of subdermal strands for good.

Laser hair removal often takes six to nine sessions on average for the best results, so you can buy two of today’s Groupon to double your number of discounted treatments for a single area. Removing all the unnecessary hairs from the body is the first step to achieving a state of total body viscosity for your next high-speed snorkeling race or journey through a tub of jell-o. Call ahead for an appointment.

Building your custom canvas print is a fast and easy process with the Canada-based business, just like eating a Tootsie Pop. First, choose the layout with one, two, three, or four panels. Then upload any image (TIFF, JPEG, and PNG formats) from your computer, camera, or brain—or choose to send in a physical picture to be scanned and converted into a work of art. Next, select the size and customize the print. Fine-tune your shot with optional chromatic alterations, or convert your picture into modern pop art or oil-painting facsimile or apply other advanced effects for an additional fee. Pricing varies depending on frame style and size, but it starts at $35 for an 8″x10″ with no frame. Create a mural-sized 24″x72″ portrait ($227.76 with no frame) or plump up a bitsy snapshot with a black wood frame (starting at $78.68). View a complete list of prices and potential configurations here.

CanvasPop’s interactive approach to art passes the creative torch back into the fireproof eye of the inhabitant. Instead of sifting through awkward teen-idol posters or trying to understand someone else’s strokework, personalize your walls with self-snapped gems. Enshrine a favourite person, scenic wooded cottage, or picture of your wall for years to come with a customized dimensional masterpiece. Create a highly personalized gift that’s made to last with a high-quality, handmade print using eight-colour archival ink protected by a coat of UV-matte laminate. Shipping is not included in the value of this Groupon (usually a $14 flat rate), but customers can receive free shipping if more than one piece is ordered. As an additional perk, all Groupon customers can get 10% off the next order they place, and since CanvasPop is based in Canada, every order is duty and customs-fees free.
