The budget-but-luxe option: ASDA Extra Special 12 Macaron Selection, £3

Twaddling around with pastel piping bags is just the sort of unnecessary effort we can do without for the upcoming Jubilee weekend. So instead of heading down to Selfridges to spend £32 on some Ladurée Incontournable macarons, pop into your nearest Asda to buy 12 for just £3.
