Today’s Groupon can be applied toward shipping costs, which start at $9.95 for packages five pounds and under shipped by UPS Ground.
The Sharper Image's catalog of high-tech gadgetry streamlines lifestyles with sleek designs and multiple functions combined in one device. The instant wine chiller ($39.99) breathes cool life into warm wines, fastening to the top of bottles and chilling the liquid with its icy interior tubes and stories of haunted casks. The voice-alert barbecue thermometer ($49.99) communicates wirelessly with a distant meat thermometer, conveniently interrupting awkward conversations with updates on meat temperature and readiness.
Awake to conveniently positioned digital digits with the ceiling-lighting projection clock ($39.99) or dismiss distracting desk clutter with the multipurpose space-saving Internet phone ($49.99), which displays time and temperature, interfaces with chat clients such as Skype, and doubles as a computer speaker, having just finished its internship in human-electronics relations.
