Some family heirlooms, such as jewelry and photographs, are enthusiastically accepted by younger generations, and others, including Grandpa's gallstone and Betamax copies of Ishtar, are not. Procure a pride-inspiring heirloom with this Groupon.
$65 for a Personalized Alphabet-Photography Keepsake ($139.99 Value)
Up to 14 black-and-white photographs representing the letters of your chosen word are framed in a half-inch black steel frame with a black mat and glass. You can also apply the value toward another frame style and pay the difference. A shipping charge of $15.95 to anywhere in the United States is not included in this Groupon. Orders shipped outside the United States will have extra handing charges.
Sticks and Stones
With pieces that have been featured on The Martha Stewart Show, hung in the White House, and chosen by Oprah to bestow upon Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to celebrate their joint invention of the cotton gin, Sticks and Stones has made one-of-a-kind art ubiquitous. The company's master photographers have compiled a gallery of black-and-white art photographs depicting natural and structural images that represent each letter of the alphabet, which customers can peruse to craft a framed heirloom up to 14 letters long. Once finished, a panel of judges approves the message masterpiece, which, regardless of semiotic weight, gets framed and shipped. Lauded by numerous other celebrity and media outlets, these letter-based and individually tailored décor concoctions make ideal housewarming, wedding, and new-baby gifts.

The Groupon Guide to: Appearing Smart in Public
If your dream is to get discovered on the street by a casting agent for the popular television trivia show Baby or Sack of Potatoes?, you’ve got to appear smart. Increase your odds of getting on that show with these tips:
• Read a book, but show off by reading it upside-down.
• Go for that classic scholarly appearance—thick, plastic-frame glasses and a bald head covered in pulsing veins, which feed your brain a steady, plentiful stream of blood.
• Challenge passersby to a debate about a current hot-button issue, like whether or not prisons should have special cells for horses that do bad things.
• Never ask questions. If you get lost, keep walking in one direction. You’ll eventually hit water, at which point you’ll want to fashion a raft out of fallen branches and set sail. There’s a chance it’ll take you exactly where you wanted to go in the first place.
• Surround yourself with other smart people. Once you’ve assembled a team of intellectuals, lure them to a secluded area and tie them all to something heavy. Now you are the smartest person left.
