Sugar & Sweets to Sweep Your Valentine off Their Feet – LADURÉE
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about the sweet life! Does she love macarons? Is dark chocolate his obsession? We know every Valentine’s taste is a little bit different, but we’ve found a few fabulous options that are sure to woo any palate! Read on for tantalizing options that will dazzle your love and tickle your fancy.
Ladurée’s tasty French delicacies never cease to evoke amazement! Perfectly pretty limited edition boxes are a sweet way to present your love with an assortment of classic favorites, or fill it with celebratory red fruit jasmine macarons. We personally love Ladurée’s Declaration of Love Patisserie Collection. The Ispahan Heart is beautifully flavored with rose and filled with rose petal cream, raspberries and lychees. Two chcocolate macaron shells filled with raspberry jam and chocolate cream make up the Casanova Heart, with the tasty addition of chocolate cream from Madagascar and fresh raspberries. Lastly, the Juliette Heart is a caramelized puff pastry deliciously layered with red fruit jam, jasmine mousse and fresh berries. Delicious!
If you haven’t found the ideal sweet for your sweet yet, might we recommend a luxurious boxed truffle assortment from Fran’s Chocolates. The Valentine’s Collection includes dark chocolates, milk chocolates, smoked salty caramels, hazelnut options and raspberry truffles, among other delights. A beautiful array of chocolate-dipped fruits marks another option. Choose from figs, ginger, apricots and orange confit. Nut and caramel pairings are another favorite, beautifully hand packaged. We love Fran’s exceptional chocolates; you’ll taste the artistry in every bite.
With exotic, classic and traditional offerings, Hugo & Victor Paris is one of our favorite go-tos for quality and refinement. Beautiful coffrets brimming with mouth-watering chocolates and candied and chocolate-covered fruits make delicious gifts. Surprise your Valentine with a fruity tart or dangerously chocolate cake. For gourmet at its peak, consider trying selected wines to enhance the luxurious flavorings of Hugo & Victor delicacies, suggested by their in-house sommelier, Frédéric Béal. Create a beautiful pairing for a Valentine’s experience that’s utterly unforgettable.
Chocolates, caramels, cordials and fruits. Jelly beans and coco almonds and black currant berries. Sugarfina has a decadent collection of the sweetest little bites!

So, if she’s watching her figure, she’ll still feel like she’s getting a treat when you pamper her with antioxidant-rich dark chocolate acai blueberries or matcha green tea caramels. Even shop for sweet selections by country, or explore an assortment of vegan options. Seriously, they’ve thought of everything to keep your Valentine super-satisfied.
