Before the invention of miniatures, chess games required horses with precision jumping skills and potted trees had to be planted in swimming pools. Celebrate the little things with today's Groupon to The Mini Donut Factory, valid at locations in Holyoke, MA; Manchester, CT; and Waterbury, CT. Choose between the following options:

• For $5, you get $12 worth of baked goods and drinks.
• For $8, you get two large, 36-count bags of original donuts (a $7 value each) and two large drinks of choice (up to a $2 value each; up to an $18 total value).
  
  

The Mini Donut Factory's confectioners whip up bite-size treats sparkling with crystalline sweetness or studded with a bevy of toppings. Original cinnamon-sugar donuts puff up fresh to order ($3 for 12, $4 for 18, or $7 for 36) and ready to play hula-hoop with idle index fingers, and patrons can use freshly baked hot donuts to thaw palates cold from chewing on donut-shaped icicles. Delectables come crowned with garnishes such as rainbow sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or coconut flakes ($3 for 6, $4 for 12, $7 for 24). The mavens of culinary miniatures concoct the goodies daily, eschewing trans fats and pairing the tasty edibles with Coca-Cola drinks. Steaming-hot coffee can play the role of bodyguard against identity-stealing onion rings.
