A picture is worth a thousand words, making photographs and stick-figure sketches the easiest solutions to looming dissertation deadlines. Take advantage of efficient visual-communication strategies with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of Creative Memories scrapbooking and digital-photos supplies from independent consultant Yvette Wevodau.

Creative Memories safeguards special moments with fashionable photo storage devices, as well as tools for both traditional and digital scrapbooking. Chronicle fleeting seconds with specifically sized cover sets ($25+), or memorialize decades spent giving bunny ears to friends, family members, and reluctant bunnies with a bounty of different albums ($12+). Mounting tools help draw adoring attention from in-home crowds, and organizers make for easy album transportation and coordination. Digital albums can flourish with digital additions, available for almost any PC or Mac, which usher photos into the next generation with downloadable and customizable artwork and themes. After printing, prune any pièce de résistance to its proper size with a personal trimmer ($20), which precisely cuts down bulky shots and panoramic blocks of cheese.
