$5 for $10 Worth of Ice-Cream Treats at Baskin Robbins. Choose from Three Groups of Locations.

Finding the perfect ice-cream flavor can be as frustrating as dating a snowman; by the time you’re ready to commit, all the good ones have melted away. Find The One among 31 with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of ice-cream treats at Baskin Robbins . Choose from the following options: 5920 Holly Avenue NE; 3457 Highway 47 in Los Lunas; 5241 Ouray Road NW; or 2201 Central Avenue NW 5502 Fourth Street NW 1902 Central SE Ever since Baskin Robbins began its dessert fashion show in 1953, more than 1,000 original flavors have sauntered across the nation’s tongue runways, 31 at a time. With the ice creamery’s iconic pink sampling spoons as your guide, taste-test as many as you like until you find the flavor that gives your soul a back rub, whether it’s a classic flavor such as rocky road single scoop ($2.49) or a seasonal serving of Love Potion #31—white chocolate and raspberry ice cream loaded with raspberry-filled chocolate hearts—and America’s Birthday Cake ($3.99). Otherwise, keep it simple and bury your face within the flavor of the month . The ice alchemists at Baskin Robbins can also transmute their ice cream and sherbet into drinkable desserts such as floats, freezes, and shakes ($4.39–$5.89). To celebrate events of greater import, such as Valentine’s Day or baby’s first doctoral thesis, choose one of Baskin Robbins’ variety of freeze-baked ice-cream cakes (starting at $9.99). Classic cakes let loose flavors of white sponge and devil’s food cake across their thick, creamy tundra and the chocolate-dipped strawberry cake, a Chef’s Collection cake , erects a skyscraper with chocolate and Very Berry Strawberry ice-cream floors and an exterior of whipped chocolate and strawberry glaze. Healthy hedonists, meanwhile, can indulge in the shop’s BRight Choices—fat-free, dairy-free, and sugarless assortments of ice cream, sorbet, and frozen yogurt. With thousands of locations nationwide, Baskin Robbins makes sure nobody ever has to suffer the pain of ice-cream heartaches.

$35 for a Panoramic Wall Mural from Larger Than Life Prints ($84 Value)

Walls have long served a utilitarian purpose and several utilitarian porpoises, who used them to build underwater machine-gun factories. Give your walls a much-needed blast with today’s deal: for $35, you get a 4-foot-wide, 1-foot-tall panoramic wall mural shipped to anywhere in the continental U.S. (an $84 value) from Larger Than Life Prints , a Philadelphia-based wall-graphics wonderland. If your walls are screaming for a larger mural, you can upgrade (starting at 60″x15″) and simply pay the difference ($19-$49) at checkout. Larger Than Life Prints specializes in wall art that combines modern materials with state-of-the-art digital-production technologies. With today’s Groupon, you’ll receive one of its panoramic wall murals, 48 inches by 12 inches in size. Browse the selection of city- and landscapes and order online. Keep it American with skylines of Boston, Chicago, and New York, or roam far away with a sweeping low-angle shot of the Eiffel Tower against a golden sky. Tropical and mountain scenes are also available, along with a lone sunflower amidst lavender plants and a diner on Route 66 . Think not on frames or complicated mounting procedures; all murals are printed on fabric paper using eco-solvent digital inks, and are designed to adhere to any kind of wall material without leaving residue or damaging the underlying surface. If you need to leave town because a band of renegade apiarists is dangerously close to discovering the galvanized-steel hive stocked with superbees in your neighbor’s backyard, simply peel the mural and go—it’s safe to remove and reapply up to 100 times. LTL Prints wall murals make great gifts for back-to-school decorating, birthdays, Burton Gilliam Day, or most any day. They’re also good for college-bound students headed for empty-walled dorms, as well as for spicing up sawdust-flavored office walls. All LTL Prints wall graphics are made in the United States, printed on demand, and shipped within 48 hours. With today’s deal, shipping (normally $4) is included; if you need the shipping expedited, just choose to pay extra during checkout.
