Would you buy to gift from Groupon?

Groupon's Revenue Mysteriously Collapsed To Close Out November 

Ugly chart for Groupon from daily deals aggregator Yipit. According to its data, Groupon's gross billings, or gross revenue, fell 46% in the last week of November. Yipit says November's revenue was up 6% overall.

What happened to close the month? Yipit doesn't say, but if we were to speculate, we'd say there's a chance Groupon users found plenty of deals elsewhere on Black Friday and just skipped out on Groupon. Another explanation: Maybe people didn't buy Groupons as presents because it would look cheap.
