The best things come in small packages, and the worst things come in big packages, which is why jewelry is a popular gift and children cry when their birthday present is broccoli wrapped in a 747. Prevent tears with today’s Groupon: for $19, you get one-dozen cupcakes from Cuddle Cupcakes Chicago (a $65.65 value).

Cuddle Cupcakes Chicago’s resident confectioners assemble a cornucopia of treats topped with homemade cream-cheese frosting and real fruit to drop off on customers’ doorsteps. Banana-honey cupcakes cradle banana cream-cheese frosting and honey, and lemon-scented blueberry cupcakes lavish both tongues and noses with an experience seconded only by munching on scratch ‘n’ sniff stickers. Customers can also nosh on the Lemon Bliss, whose lemon cupcake ferries lemon cream-cheese frosting into mouths to tempt taste buds and mingle with sweet teeth. Sea-salt-anointed dark-chocolate cupcakes traverse tongues, hitting each sweet and salty checkpoint along the way with a Magellan-like sense of adventure. Cuddle Cupcakes delivers on Tuesdays and Saturdays before 8:30 p.m.
