Big Savings on Photo Books

Photo Books are a great way to remember family vacations, special events, or even just life in general. I want to make a photo signature book for our upcoming trip to Disney. My brother first made the photo signature books for my nieces for their second trip, and they have become a tradition. I use photos with the characters from our previous visits to make the book.

Children's (age 3-12) dockside boarding tickets are $11 when purchased directly from Tall Ships Chicago, so you would only need to purchase the Groupon deal for the adults in your party.

The dockside boarding tickets allow you to board and tour participating boats. There is also a general admission ticket for $5 (adult or child) which does not allow you to board/tour the boats that can be purchased from Tall Ships Chicago.

If you are planning to head to Navy Pier, you can also pre-purchase ride tickets for attractions like the Ferris Wheel, Web Wave Swinger, Miniature Golf, and the Light Tower Ride.

While you are at Navy Pier, check out this deal for the Navy Pier Maze and Time Freak Game.

While in Chicago, it would also be a good time to check out the American Girl Store especially if your daughter likes Molly, the WWII doll who is being discontinued soon.

North of Chicago is also Six Flags Great America in Gurnee which I shared a coupon for on my Ann Arbor with Kids blog.

If you are planning to visit Chicago this summer (for Tall Ships, or another time), I suggest joining a local museum that offers reciprocal museum admissions. If you are in Michigan like me, may I suggest this deal for the University of Michigan Natural History Museum.

Big Savings on a ZooBooks Subscription

My daughter LOVES receiving mail. She is always asking if she has mail and is thrilled on days when her magazines or catalogs come. Just yesterday, she was excited that we received the American Girl catalog. For the last few years, she has been receiving High Five (a younger version of Highlights) and this year has upgraded to Highlights. She also received the LEGO Club Jr magazine which upgraded to LEGO Club when she turned 7. LEGO Club or LEGO Club Jr are free magazines that you can subscribe to on the LEGO website.

Today's Groupon is for a $10 yearly subscription to one of the Zoobooks magazines - Zoobooks, Zootles, or Zoobies (a $29.95 value). You can also select a 2 year subscription for $19.

Make Your Own Book - A Deal to Get Started

Have you seen Blurb.com? You can design your own book. I love this concept because it goes beyond a standard photo book. You can create a black and white book starting at $2.95 or a color book starting at $12.95.

You can use their layout software or convert PDFs to make your book. I have digital scrapbook pages from when my daughter was an infant saved as PDFs. This is a great way for me to turn them into a bound book. Blurb books have an advantage over photo books in the way they incorporate text.

Some ideas they suggest are a year in review, a family cookbook, genealogy, and more. With graduations, weddings, Mother's Day, and Father's Day coming up there are plenty of great gift giving occasions coming up.

Today, Groupon is offering a $45 certificate for just $20. The promotional value of the Groupon expires on August 3, 2011. After that, the certificate will revert to $20 (the price you paid) and never expires.

Picaboo Photo Products Deals

As parents we probably have millions of pictures of our children floating around and the question is always what to do with them. With Picaboo you can take your digital photographs and turn them into photo books, calendars, cards, and more.

Today, Groupon is offering a $100 certificate to Picaboo for just $35. This certificate is only valid on photo books, calendars, and cards. It can also be applied to shipping and taxes. They have photo books that start at $9.99 and run up to $349.99 (wedding album comparable).

The certificate must be purchased by the end of the day Saturday, April 23. It can be redeemed beginning Monday, April 25 and must be redeemed by October 20, 2011.

My sister made my mom a year in photos album for Christmas and it was great. I am thinking I need to compile all of my daughters pictures and make one for each year. Albums are also great to celebrate vacations or milestone events. I also made a calendar this year for my daughter and she loves it. We also use photo cards for Christmas, but have also sent them for other holidays to a few people. With Picaboo you can make individual cards starting at $1.29

Go Crazy with Pizza Toppings - Just $8

From Groupon.com

What is your favorite topping combination? I like onions, peppers, sausage, pepperoni, diced tomatoes, bacon and more. I am also a big fan of chicken - unfortunately my husband only likes chicken as barbecue chicken. Just keep off the mushrooms and the anchovies.

Today Groupon is running a national deal for Domino's Pizza. For just $8, you can get a large Domino's pizza with up to 10 toppings. I love that the toppings are practically unlimited. While I like lots of veggies on my pizza, I hate paying for each extra topping. So this deal is perfect.

So what combination are you going for? What toppings will you avoid?

The Groupon must be purchased by midnight on April 20. It is valid until May 19. You must place your order online for in store pickup (no phone orders or delivery).  The certificate is valid at all continental US locations (not valid in Alaska, Hawaii, or outside the US). You may purchase up to 3 certificates. As with all Groupons, you cannot redeem it until the day after the certificate expires.



I have purchased Groupons several time in the past, including some of the national deals. I have never had any problem redeeming my Groupons.
