$20 for $40 Toward Knitting, Cooking, Cultural Classes, and More at Ingebretsen’s Scandinavian Gifts & Foods

For $20, today’s side deal gets you $40 toward classes at Ingebretsen’s Scandinavian Gifts & Foods , located at East Lake Street and 16th Avenue South. Classes include cooking , crafts , culture , knitting , and needlework . If the value of your chosen class is less than $40, you can use the leftover value toward another class. The neighborly Nordics at Ingebretsen’s have helped Scandinavians trace their roots and non-Nordics liberate their inner Vikings for more than 85 years. A variety of enlightening, hands-on courses sits at your mitts’ disposal at the quaint, well-maintained building. Don an apron and learn to make the delicious lefse , a traditional flatbread known for its tastiness with coffee ($30). Create beautiful, sturdy jewelry that doubles as wrist armor in the chain-mail bracelet class ($50), or knit a warm, comfy Norwegian star hat to replace your chilly horned helmet ($40). If you’re fuzzy on what to gift a loved one, Ingebretsen’s Walter Grittner , a veteran artisan with more than sixty years of experience, helms a chip-carving course, teaching students to carefully sculpt patterns into ornaments and unsightly glaciers into fantastic fjords ($40). Regardless of your experience level, Ingebretsen’s atmosphere is friendly and supportive, making it a welcoming learning environment for newcomers. Groupon Says Read more…

$17 for Two Tickets to Any Friday or Saturday Early Show, Plus $10 Toward an Appetizer, at MinneHAHA Comedy Club ($35 Value)

One of 16th-century Italy’s most popular forms of entertainment was stand-up commedia dell’arte, where masked performers would pantomime observational bits on Machiavellian politics and the deal with airplane food. Enjoy modern merriment with today’s Groupon: for $17, you get two tickets to a Friday or Saturday early show (a $25 value), plus $10 toward an appetizer (most are less than $10), at the MinneHAHA Comedy Club , located just south of the river in Burnsville. Friday early shows are at 8:30 p.m., while Saturday early shows are at 8 p.m. MinneHAHA gives Minneapolis up-close access to the best local and nationally touring comedians, many of who have appeared on The King of Queens , Showtime, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend , Late Night with Conan O’Brien , and Last Comic Standing . The laughs are many, while the comedic tone is classy and, unlike shows performed at nursing homes, refreshingly free of lazy vulgarity. Upcoming shows will feature the fearless humor of Dave Mordal, the host of Discovery Channel’s Wreckreation Nation , and Dwayne Gill, a cop who moonlights as a stand-up comedian. Regardless of the show, guests will be sure to enjoy a night of jocular good times not involving Internet videos of dogs wearing sunglasses on surfboards. Supplement the belly-jostling laughter with a belly-pleasing appetizer from Carbone’s Pizza & Sports Bar . Maliciously contemplate why the chicken crossed the road while snacking on chicken strips, or similarly ponder why the potato crossed the road while eating potato skins, among other appetizer options. Check the calendar for full details before calling to reserve a seat. Groupon Says The Right Jokes for the Right Disease A doctor walks into a bar. He cannot treat himself, and dies. Hilarious!
