Much like a butterfly collection or a loose transdimensional tesseract, a family portrait is best kept secured behind a protective pane of glass. Entrap a memory with today's Groupon: for $39, you get $100 worth of custom framing at Framing Dames in Scarborough.

Equipped with a degree in the Fine Arts, Framing Dames owner Catherine Hawthorn outfits her customers' artwork, memorabilia, and keepsakes in protective and stylish frames. After scouring the frame and matte options, patrons can enclose two-dimensional masterpieces or napkins commemorating their first taste of nachos in acid-free materials designed for museum-quality protection (starting at $89.95 with wood frame, matte and glass). Personalized framing for sports jerseys (starting at $325 for wood frame, matte, and glass) readies athletic memories to grace living room walls. The preservation pros also update already framed items to match a home's current aesthetics and decor. Though not included with today's Groupon, visitors to the shop can scan a gallery of local artwork or sign up for art classes to craft custom creations worthy of hanging on any art museum's refrigerator. Framing Dames has also raised funds for charities such as Doctors Without Borders.
