Handmade products often sport the artist's signature, which gives it a personal touch and differentiates the piece from the laser-etchings of products made with robot hands. Support human handiwork with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of handmade products at Textures Handmade Market and one cupcake of your choice (a $2.25 value) at Lucy & Leo's Cupcakery, both located in the same building.
Textures Market stocks its shelves with a compendium of local, handmade creations, and the collection of new wares rotates constantly with one-of-a-kind home goods. Tiny Owls ($18) with not-so-tiny eyes perch on furniture after outgrowing their various nesting bowls ($22) to intimidate teenagers during babysitter interviews. A collection of handcrafted jewelry such as SevenSunday's Fabric Wrist Cuff can work as a fashionable rebellion to wristwatches. Equipped with exclusive accouterments, customers can introduce palates to equally distinctive treats with their choice of one of any cupcake from the case of neighboring confectioner Lucy & Leo's Cupcakery.

The Groupon Guide to: Summer Cinema
As the onslaught of summer movies nears, the average filmgoer is likely flabbergasted by all the choices. Here is a demographically themed breakdown to help you choose the right upcoming feature for you:
For the lovelorn teen, Rebelheart: High-school junior and avid blogger Kayleigh (Gillian Partridge) begins a correspondence with handsome 19-year-old Civil War soldier Johnny (newcomer Kash Packard) after lightning strikes her computer. The two quickly fall in love, forcing evil, love-hating time-scientists to try to drive them apart and keep the universe from implosioning. Rated PG-13 for intense longing.
For the vest-wearing adult, Twins of the Father: A small town father must grapple with issues of identity when his more successful double appears one night during a mysterious lightning storm. Rated R for frank depictions of brief events.
For the regular kid or fragile grown-up, Pixar's Volt: When the titular lightning bolt's (Jaden Smith) dreams of joining the Army are dashed by his thunderclap father (Brad Garrett), he finds his true calling: existing for 0.2 nanoseconds in an empty field. Rated G for existential despair.
