Valentine's Day used to be pretty simple. Candy hearts, flowers, and a romantic dinner for two, right? Well, while that's still fine and dandy, we're pretty partial to the holiday's more recent trends, such as Disney princess bouquets [1], raspberry crème Kit Kats [2], Oreo cookie dunking sets for two [3], and, yes, heart-shaped macarons.
Costco is offering what may be one of the greatest Valentine's Day deals ever: a box of 25 macarons [4] by Le Chic Patissier for only $12. These heart-shaped treats come in two different flavors, vanilla and raspberry, and look as good as they taste. With big-name baking companies such as Ladurée [5] and Baked by Melissa [6] selling the same amount of these delicacies for upward of $65, the Costco alternative is a total steal (not to mention totally adorable!). These macarons are perfect because they're a great Valentine's Day gift, for either a crush or office colleagues, and one that will not break the bank. Just be sure to call your local store for prices and availability before heading out!
