The alphabet was originally invented so that babies wouldn't realize they'd been tricked into thinking a few crummy wooden blocks were toys. However, it can also be used to string letters into words, as today's Groupon from Frame The Alphabet proves. Choose between the following options:
- For $65, you get a standard alphabet frame (a $134.99 value).
- For $75, you get a deluxe alphabet frame (a $154.99 value).
Additionally, with each shipped order Frame The Alphabet will include a $75 gift certificate for a future purchase.
Guided by the creative vision of a passionate professional who trained at the New York Institute of Photography, Frame The Alphabet mixes and matches black-and-white images of pseudo-letters shot in their natural surroundings, be it a D doubling as a floating lime wedge, an M disguised as a bike rack, or an O cavorting as the back of Aunt Eloise's head. Customers can spell out their own meaningful word or name with the collection of photos showcased on the site's interactive letter bank. Adventurous word puzzlers may wish to work in visual thematics, crafting names entirely out of sports images for the family athlete or create an ironic counterpoint to words such as nature with images of city signs, industrial faucets, and spinning cogs. Once you've spelled out a beloved word, abstract concept, or mnemonic device for remembering a spouse's name, the whole thing will be encased in a 39.5"x15.5" standard or deluxe frame in handsome black or brown and shipped directly to your deserving giftee.

The Groupon Guide to: Being a Good Friend
Though many of life's accomplishments are important—working as a reading tutor, not setting fire to every mailbox you happen to pass—only one accomplishment matters in the long run: being a good friend. Follow these friendship tips to separating besties from the resties:
• Every time you're drinking something, offer your friend a sip from your glass. If they decline, show them there's nothing to worry about by sterilizing your own mouth with a crème brûlée torch.
• Pick up the check whenever possible—but don’t stop there. Use your intimate knowledge of your friend to glean possible passwords to their online bank accounts and transfer their funds into a high-yield CD just in case they want to save up to go to college again.
• What's your friend's favorite animal? Do they own one yet? Could you conceivably get them one? Keep in mind that the word "impossible" was most likely invented by a bad friend.
