Valentine’s Day can be a lonely time of year for singles. With everything love-themed and talk about hearts and chocolates and other things mushy, people can feel out of place in a matched-up world. If you are interested in meeting someone, now is a great time because of this Groupon for Lavalife.

I read an article yesterday in Maclean’s magazine that says that internet dating is now the second most popular way to find a mate. It comes second only to meeting mates through mutual friends. Meeting potential life partners is hard, especially as we get older. Right now if either a male or female friend asked me if I knew anyone single I’d have to say I only know one single guy, and that’s it. Everyone else I know is paired off. So, in comes internet dating, which I think is a great way to meet people, even if it isn’t for a long-term relationship. I know several people who have met online and are still together as well.

With this membership, you get unlimited emails and instant messages, so when you see someone you like, you can easily send a message free. With three different communities, you can choose from dating, relationships and intimate encounters, whatever floats your boat. User search is easy, you just punch in exactly what you are looking for and then browse your matches. There is a free service at Lavalife, but it doesn’t let you send actual messages, only to search, reply and flirt. So, if you are serious about finding someone, you need to pay for the membership. I think three months is a good amount of time for a membership, because it gets you seeing what is out there, if online dating interests you and gets your feet wet.

Simply buy your Groupon and start your search!

Groupon Canada has two different options available at up to 55% off the price for Adore Me lingerie, babydolls, corsets and shapewear with free shipping.  There is a limit of one deal per person, per order, it does not expire until January 29^th 2014 and will be valid only for the option purchased.  This is not valid with any other offers.

• Click here to shop @ Groupon.com

Option 1 is $30 to receive $60 worth of lingerie, corsets and shapewear and option 2 is $40 to receive $100 worth of lingerie, corsets and shapewear.

Some of the items available online are apparel costing $39.95 per set, regularly and include such items as the Arianna lingerie set, a Myra babydoll, a Dana Satin robe, a Hazel corset and a package of 3 Backseam stockings.

This would be an awesome deal to purchase for a Valentine’s Day gift and they can choose their own items taking their time as the deal for Adore Me is valid for almost a year.

Adore Me does have some very sexy items included in this deal and I think most women wouldn’t mind choosing their own lingerie, even though it’s probably not just for them to enjoy.

Shipping: Included

Groupon is having a deal where you buy the Groupon for $20 and get $40 of flowers at FTD Canada. Please note that the prices are in U.S. dollars.

• Click here to get this Groupon

You don’t necessarily have to use this Groupon for Valentine’s Day since the certificate doesn’t expire until April 12th. If you forget to use the voucher before that date, you can still redeem your voucher at any time (never expires) for $20. You can purchase two vouchers, but can’t use them on the same order. This helps if you have two people to send flowers to (your mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, assistant, etc.), because who doesn’t love getting flowers?

Get the love of your life some gorgeous and uplifting flowers delivered to his or her door for Valentine’s Day this year. This Groupon saves you $20 off the cost of $40 worth of flowers from FTD Canada, but you can spend more if you’d like. These flowers are same-day delivery for most areas when you order before 2 p.m., so those last-minute shoppers are still in luck. There are some cutoff times on weekends and holidays. The flowers are florist-arranged so they look wonderful when they arrive.

There are some absolutely gorgeous arrangements on the FTD site. My favourites would be (husband take note):

The Season of Love bouquet, which includes the heart-shaped red vase and red and pink tulips. I love tulips way more than roses. You get your choice of good, better and best bouquets, which just means that there are more tulips in the arrangement. The regular arrangement is $49.99, which means it will only cost you $29.99 when you use your Groupon.

If I had to pick roses (and who has to pick them?) I do love the Captivating Color Rose Bouquet by Vera Wang. The roses come in fuchsia, red, pale pink, light lavender and purple with lush greens in a modern clear glass vase. This is a bouquet you will put front and centre on your table. The better bouquet is $116.99, but you’ll pay $96.99 with your Groupon.

If you really wanted to impress someone you could go completely all out and get the Breathless Luxury Rose Bouquet with 100 24-inch long-stemmed roses for $584.99, less your Groupon at only $564.99.

Shipping will run you a bit, but look at it like the cost of the Groupon saves you the shipping. Apparently this is a standard delivery cost for flowers. It depends on your location, but it could run you from $15.99 to $29.99 U.S.

I checked around for prices and found that they are approximately $47 from Bassbuds website, and the Amazon UK site for about the same price, so this is truly a deal at $25.

The earbuds come with a hands-free microphone and white, black & memory-foam ear tips with your choice of small, medium or large sizes.  These are compatible with all smart phones and the controls allow you to pause or skip music and answer or hang up calls while remaining hands-free.  Some other features are the HD audio for sound quality, controls for music and phone, voice command capability, a gold-plated 3.5 mm audio jack, an anti-tangle cord and a protective storage bag.

Shipping: $5.

Here is the fine print:

Expires Jul 10, 2013. Limit 2 per person. Limit 1 per order. Online only. Must buy apron in order to buy gloves. Shipping not included, but may use Groupon value toward shipping.

Aprons have honestly made a big comeback, and I can see why when I look at Flirty Apron’s online store. These aprons are actually sexy, stylish and cute. I don’t end one single day without being covered head to toe in some kind of food. I don’t even get dressed to go out until about two minutes before I walk out the door for fear of something getting on me. An apron could help all that! There are so many gorgeous styles to choose from, picking only one is the hard part!

Check out this classic black damask apron. I want to wear it as a dress, it is so pretty! I love the flouncy skirt. Only $29.95, you’d get it for the $15 cost of your Groupon. Want one more pretty than sexy? The cherry blossom is beautiful. At $34.95, you’ll pay only $4.95 on top of your Groupon. And if you are classic and a little bit country, this Venetian Rose is traditional, yet absolutely gorgeous. At only $27.95, you’d get it free with your Groupon (with money to spare).

You can even get a matching apron for your daughter! Today is one of those days I wished I had just one girl.

Don’t forget about him! They have a few styles for men with classic and funny sayings like “Grill Sergeant” or “Kiss the Cook”. The men’s aprons are $29.95, so perfect for your Groupon.

They also sell bibs and gloves. There are so many deals on Bargainmoose, I find it incredibly hard not to shop, but this deal I am not going to pass up. I’m planning a clean eating meal prep day with friends soon and one of these aprons would be perfect!

Shipping rates vary by destination.

Groupon has a deal for 4D multi-layered CityScape puzzles.  You can buy a limit of 3 per person and 2 more as gifts.  Shipping within Canada is free and sale will end on December 11^th 2012.

• Click here for Groupon.com

My family loves puzzles and it’s a great way to get everyone involved in something constructive.  These 4 D puzzles might be a little difficult for some younger members, but wonderfully relaxing for others.

You can get a puzzle for 9 different cities.  Choose from Berlin, Chicago, Hong Kong, London, New York City, Paris, Las Vegas, Tokyo or Toronto.  These are educational as well as fun because you can assemble the landscape while becoming familiar with the area’s streets, islands, roads, railways and geography.  You snap the base together and then embark on a journey of history adding 3 D building pieces giving you a sense of the progress and development over time.

This would be a fantastic idea for 2 or more people to work on at the same time, learning as well as enjoying the puzzle.

Shipping: Free within Canada.

(Expiry: 11^th December 2012)

What a great Christmas present! I could not find it anywhere that was less expensive. Teambuy has the deal for a little less, but when you add their shipping and taxes, it’s quite a bit more.

• one carving knife
• one chef knife
• one chop and scoop
• one fillet knife
• one cheese knife
• eight steak knives
• one paring knife
• one pair of kitchen shears

These knives are the flash-forged, stainless-steel blades that are set in an easy to grip handle. The set is perfect for the average kitchen, whether you want to slice, shave or mash, and all the knives are dishwasher safe. They also come with a lifetime replacement warranty. I’m sold!

Shipping: Free.

I just bought one of these vouchers after consulting my husband. He figured this was a no brainer purchase: they have awesome deals on books, this voucher makes the prices even better… and they just lowered their shipping rates which I mentioned here. I also mention a book I am debating getting and think I will now: All Men of Genius by Lev AC Rosen. I have to agree that this is an awesome deal; the book I want is like $2. I could get a TON of books for $30, and now the same amount for $15!

You can buy 1 voucher per person, and an extra to give to someone you love. Shipping is not included but you can use the value of the voucher towards shipping: a big bonus in my opinion. Voucher expires in about 6 months from now

Expiry: 20th, August 2012 (However, limited quantity)

I am a BIG fan of aprons. There is nothing sexier than a woman or man in the kitchen, baking away, while wear an apron that just screams personality. Groupon has teamed up with Flirty Aprons to offer you a voucher. Pay only $15 for $30 Worth of Aprons and Kitchen Gloves.

• Click here to get your Flirty Aprons Voucher

Though no apron can possibly be better than mine, Flirty Aprons does have some great stuff. The original-style apron comes in cute patterns such as pink chocolate ($34.95), or you can check out the Marilyn style the strawberry shortcake ($27.95). My favourite is the Women’s Apron Original Aqua Damask, unfortunately out of stock. They also have plenty of men’s aprons, and some for the kids too.

Things of note:

• You can buy 2 vouchers

• expires 6th, Feb 2013

Note: Aprons will ship from the US. Shipping varies.

As I said, totally love my apron (the side pic of the ‘horror’ apron is mine… not from this shop). I paid around $32 for my apron, so this is a good deal. Aprons in my opinion are totally romantic: especially if you surprise your love one with an apron and nothing else on!

Expiry: approx. 6th, August 2012
