This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Groupon Gift Shop for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
I mentioned in this post that Groupon asked me to share some creative ideas for giving experience gifts. This year we chose to give both my parents and my in-laws tickets to a murder mystery dinner theater, which is something that they had mentioned wanting to do.
Actually, it is something that I really want to do. J and I had planned on doing one in October and we had to change our plans at the last minute, which was very unfortunate because I am really good at solving mysteries. Like, I am basically a modern day Nancy Drew only without the fancy car and also people aren’t trying to kidnap me all the time on account of how I solve mysteries from the safety of my couch while watching them on television.
By myself. Because apparently it is annoying to other people when I figure out the mystery halfway through the show and can not refrain from blurting it out. It’s a problem.
So I feel as though I would be really good at a murder mystery dinner theater. And I wanted to be really good at GIVING a murder mystery dinner theater gift. So I decided to wrap up a classic murder mystery: a game of CLUE.
And then that will be the clue. It’s all very meta.
I slipped the Groupon into the pocket where the reveal cards are, along with the kitchen card. And the knife. Because DINNER THEATER. I crack myself up. Then I wrapped it all up and will insist that we all play Clue after we unwrap presents so that they can find the Groupon. No one will be annoyed by this because of Christmas cheer.
(Then I stuck the Miss Scarlet card on the outside because my daughter’s name is Scarlette and all.)
Here is a video to share a peek at how I put it all together!
