Groupon as a gift?

Is it appropriate to give someone a groupon as a gift?  Let me explain....

 My friend is getting married and her future in laws wanted to throw her a couples shower.  She and her FI have been living together for quite awhile now, and my friend said they don't really need a whole lot for the house, so they decided to have a "stock the bar" shower.  More specifically it's a "stock the bourbon bar" because they both really love bourbon.

 Well, there is a groupon for a tour of a bourbon distillery in our area, and I think it would be a perfect gift for them for this couples shower, but I just don't know if it is poor taste to give a groupon as a gift. 

Thoughts?

What are the terms of this specific Groupon?  Do they have to pay anything?  If they don't have to pay anything, I don't see why not. I think they would enjoy it!

I would look extra close at when the groupon expires - if it expires before their wedding they may not even have the opportunity to use it because chances are they will be busy right up until their wedding and maybe a few weeks after.

As long as they don't have to pay anything ( i.e. pay $ 25 get $10 off), I think it is fine.

I agree with PPs. I've been given Groupon gifts before and didn't think twice about it.
