These Are The Best Places To Order Macarons—For Under $50—This Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is not that far away! But don't worry if the holiday has totally slipped your mind—we have compiled a list of the six best places that will deliver macarons right to your door or the door of a loved one. They all are delicious, obviously, come in tons of different flavors, both traditional and not-so-traditional, and already packed in a beautiful gift box. All you have to do is send it.

Now, let's get one thing straight first. Macarons and macaroons are not the same thing. Although they are often pronounced the same in English, macarons are the delicate French sandwich cookies. They come in different flavors and colors and are made with almond flour and filled with a buttercream frosting. Macaroons are an American coconut cookie that are in the shape of a ball.

Phew, I'm glad we got that out of the way. Before you bookmark this page for later, just a reminder that most of these delivery shops need at least a weeks' notice to get the macarons delivered on time.
