Until their proper display in museums, the paintings of most Renaissance masters languished for centuries on the magnet-flecked fridges of their proud mothers. Preserve your art and collectables for future generations and houseguests with this Groupon: for $80, you get $200 worth of artwork and custom framing services at Artworld of Sherway.

The works of more than 30 artists wash over customers as they enter Artworld of Sherway, browse masterworks, and drop off their own masterpieces for custom framing. Eyes scan artwork sprinkled throughout the 2,400-square-foot gallery before blinking a Morse code message telling feet to stop at an Inuit sculpture such as the Loon by Ning Ashoona ($500). Gallery walls spotlight paintings such as Rick Taylor's vibrant Toronto streetcar and cityscape scenes in acrylic on canvas ($300–$2,500) or nature landscapes rendered with oil paint by Garth Armstrong ($350+).

For custom framing (approximately $100+), framers enclose flat valuables in a choice of more than 1,000 frames constructed from materials designed to maintain any item's original condition. Artworld of Sherway recommends making an appointment for custom framing. Additionally, mounting, glass, mirror, and matting options can enhance two-dimensional items and keep personal photos from canoodling with the home's cubist portraits during the night.

The Groupon Guide to: Hallucinations

Whether due to fatigue, anesthetic dentist gas, or aimless desert wandering, everybody experiences a terrifying and/or euphoric hallucination at some point in their lives. Keep this guide close in order to survive the experience without succumbing to madness:

Keep Calm: Most hallucinations can be confronted by simply acknowledging them and moving on—for instance, if your roommate begins to expand into a translucent cerulean pyramid, don't make the rookie mistake of trying to climb him. Instead, remind yourself, "That's just Matt. There's no gold in Matt."

Stay Close to Your Halluci-Buddy: A halluci-buddy can keep you grounded in the real world while you confront the terrifying universes inside of you. Remember to never let go of their hand, even if it turns into a brass clockwork tentacle where the individual suckers are the faces of tiny watches.

Don't Read Into Symbolism: Sometimes hallucinations can lay your private anxieties bare as visual metaphors, but just as often they're completely random. Or, to paraphrase Dr. Freud, "Sometimes a cigar is just your computer keyboard turning into a giant, skittering centipede, and sometimes the clacking of its carapace is just you composing an e-mail to your boss that you won't remember sending."

What percentage of hallucinations turn out to be real?
