On Groupon, you can either buy spa packages and baking supplies, or just buy the $2,000 Gwenyth Paltrow groupon bundle, which includes a spa treatment and a baking session with the 40-year-old actress. The bundle also covers airfare to New York and car service to meet Gwen -- well worth the money, just like a true Groupon deal.
Sadly, the package sold out almost immediately -- there were only 60 spots available. This private event will happen in June, with Gwyneth Paltrow leading a cooking class and handing out signed versions of her cookbook.
This rare package deal could change the way Groupon and celebrities do business; while Gwenyth is using the high-traffic platform to promote herself and her book, Groupon gets to flaunt the fact that an Oscar-winning actress has agreed to post up an intimate baking session via its services.
