From $329 for 7-Night Stay with Your Choice of 8 Resorts in the Greater Orlando area. Up to four can stay in a studio or one-bedroom apartment.  Say what you will about the convenience of staying in the actual park, I prefer relaxing in the morning over coffee and toast or a danish and being able to shop for fruit or vegetables to snack on and having a refrigerator to store things in.

$12 for a customized facial or microdermabrasion treatment (up to a $25 value) at any of G Skin & Beauty Institute’s four locations:  The Loop, Naperville, Oak Brook and West Dundee.  Limit two per person; additional two as gifts.

With more than 10 types of facials to choose from, the service is customized to suit each client’s skin type, including dehydrated and acneic. During microdermabrasion sessions, the skin is mechanically exfoliated to remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal for a firmer, more even-toned complexion. All work performed by supervised students.  I see no reason not to use students for services like facials – I draw the line at waxing, because the possibility of burning (even slightly) is very real.  And even with a licensed beautician you have to be careful.

One of the deals I normally pick up – just washed my car yesterday and the card still has $113 on it, so maybe this time I’ll pass… This Spirit of America Groupon has three options:

• $13 for 3 Ultimate Clean car washes (a $27 value)
• $25 for 6 Ultimate Clean car washes (a $54 value)
• $49 for 12 Ultimate Clean car washes (a $108 value)

You actually get a plastic card with the dollar value on it.   Every time you buy a voucher (either Groupon or livingsocial), you contact customer service with your card number and the new amount is added.  Since it’s a dollar value, you can choose any level of car wash you want, from the basic to the ultimate.

$7.99 for 3-Pack of Clip-On Cigarette Lighters ($29.99 list price) in silver or green.  These are refillable butane lighters and can be used without being removed from the pack.   Cool idea – and I don’t even smoke!  Shipping is $2.99 for orders under $14.99; free above that. Free Returns.
