No backyard gathering is complete without meat cooked over an open flame, just as no front-yard gathering is complete without peasants wielding pitchforks and torches. Give heated meat treats something to soak in with today’s Groupon: for $12, you get a gift crate of three premium barbecue sauces from Heffys BBQ Co. (a $25 value). Shipping is not included in the cost of today's Groupon.

Heffys stocks its secret-recipe sauces with powerfully tasty ingredients—such as hickory smoke, habañero peppers, honey, and a hint of tabasco—to concoct baste-worthy barbecue accompaniments for traditional grill favorites or inventive culinary creations. Prepared in microbatches in the heart of Kansas City, each sauce is taste-tested and bottled on-site, then hand-labeled by enthusiastic Special Olympic athletes. A three-pack of Original, Hot & Spicy, and Sweet Mesquite sauces will softly alight on your doorstep in a handcrafted, decorative wooden gift crate, providing an ample supply to be savored at cookouts and mistaken for shampoo during sleepwalking showers.
