Kaleidoscope Kids’ Books
Glebe – Dows Lake
1018 Bank St. Ottawa, Ontario
http://www.kaleidoscopekidsbooks.ca/

Today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of kids’ books at Kaleidoscope Kids’ Books.

One of Ottawa’s only children’s bookstores, Kaleidoscope floods youthful imaginations with page after page of adventure, mystery, and imaginary worlds conveniently packaged in tiny tomes appealing to ages 0–15. Take tots on a whirlwind journey through a hyperactive maze of bright colours and shapes in Peter Stein and Bob Staake’s Cars Galore (hardcover, $18), which enchants mini minds with lyrical rhymes and helps reduce Big Wheel road rage. Young adults, meanwhile, can discover a dystopian coming-of-age story in Veronica Roth’s Divergent (hardcover, $19.99), which covers how life choices divide families and friends, causing some to harbour dangerous secrets, such as how to cook an egg with one’s mind. Future literary critics can review staff picks or sponge up perennial favourites such as Franklin in the Dark (hardcover, $18.95) or The Velveteen Rabbit (hardcover, $12.50). Kaleidoscope’s staff can also make personalized recommendations for a variety of literary and literal book tastes.

Grill Forty One
Ottawa
100 Elgin St. Ottawa, Ontario
http://grill41.ca/index.html

Today’s Groupon gives you a chance to use them: for $25, you get $50 worth of steak-house fare at Grill Forty One on Elgin Street.

Situated inside Lord Elgin Hotel’s elegant confines, Grill Forty One quells rumbling bellies with its protein-focused menu of locally sourced fare. Early risers can induct their bellies into a new day of noshing with breakfast at Grill Forty One’s full buffet ($18) or with entrees such as the smoked-salmon benedict ($16). The lunch menu, meanwhile, doles out hearty sandwiches such as the Alberta-beef cheeseburger ($13), laden with truffle aioli. Unlike a cubist-inspired hair salon, dinner rolls out classic cuts such as the 11-ounce strip sirloin ($33), dressed up with brown-butter mash, and the rack of lamb ($35), lounging beside roasted beets and sautéed bok choy. Vegetarians, meanwhile, can partake in pastas such as the butternut-squash ravioli ($15), bedecked with toasted pecans and brown butter.

A vast wine list complements Grill Forty One’s robust fare, and a sugar-laced assortment of homemade desserts, such as banana bread pudding with nutmeg ice cream ($9), wraps up meals like a cotton-candy straitjacket.

A Putt Above
Bells Corners Commercial – Bells Corners East
3825 Richmond Rd. Nepean, Ontario
http://www.aputtabove.ca/

Today’s Groupon: for $12, you get two Pirate combos, including mini golf, 3-D glasses, and glow bracelets, at A Putt Above in Nepean (up to a $25 value).

Entertaining the throngs of Ottawa with more than 9,000 square feet of active recreation, A Putt Above envelops mini golfers in a glow-in-the-dark 3-D course, which comes alive under black lights. The Pirate combo (a $12.50/person value) equips putter wielders with 3-D glasses, glow bracelets, and a bilingual shoulder parrot. After donning the 3-D glasses, putt-putters morph into part of the moving course as the floors begin to float and the scenery starts to sway. Creatures such as a shark, an octopus, and a pirate burst forth and ask for each putt-putter’s hand in marriage throughout the 18 holes. For a more immersive experience, A Putt Above recommends putt-putters wear white, which, along with the glow bracelets and golf balls carved from moon rock, enhances the glow from the black lights.

Though A Putt Above sometimes features a discounted rate online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

With today’s Groupon: for $60, you get a full carpet clean of three rooms and a staircase or up to 400 square feet of carpet—whichever comes first—from Good Lookin’ Carpet Cleaning (a $120 value).

Good Lookin’ Carpet Cleaning utilizes environmentally friendly products to deep-clean carpet and degrime upholstery. Customers can opt for a full clean of carpeted floors in any three rooms of the house and a full carpeted staircase or any amount of floor fur equalling up to 400 square feet—whichever cleaners first cover in their dirt-slaying quest. The staff at Good Lookin’ employ Esteam products to gently scour dirt, debris, and misplaced frozen vegetables from overwrought carpets, removing subsurface soil otherwise missed by the human eye. Steam-cleaning sessions may remove up to a pound of dirt per carpeted square foot, breaking down even the most emotionally closed off grime with eco-conscious Green-Line shampoos and emulsifiers. The products used by Good Lookin’ are safe for humans, pets, and humans disguised as pets.
