I know I've said this before, but macarons are awesome. They're slightly chewy, slightly crispy, and all around delicious. They're also beautiful, which makes it perfect for gift-giving.

Where: Bottega Louie (LA), Paulette (LA)
Price: $1.70 to $2 each
Alternatives: Ladurée (France, England, Italy, Japan, Turkey, Ireland, Luxembourg, Monaco, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Dubai, Lebanon, NY) La Maison du Chocolat (France, Hong Kong, England, Japan, NY),  Pierre Hermé (France, England, Japan) Pushkin Cafe (Russia) Adriano Zumbo (Australia)...or make your own!


There is an edible goldmine called Etsy, where almost everything is guaranteed to be handmade. I'm interested in the caramel and marshmallows in particular.

Imagine getting this.
