Valentine's Day is coming up, and we all know what that means — you'll be running out to the store the day of to grab a last-minute bouquet of flowers, a bottle of cheap wine, and the standard heart-shaped box full of chocolates.

While there are some pretty good new chocolates and candies out this year, maybe it's time to try something new to impress your significant other. How about a hand-rolled, warm, heart-shaped soft pretzel instead?

Auntie Anne's will be offering this special pretzel shape on Valentine's Day in all of their locations nationwide. You'll be able to get this soft, comforting snack in both Cinnamon Sugar and Original flavors. While the pretzel is definitely shareable, Auntie Anne's will be making it easy for both you and your special someone to get a heart-shaped pretzel with a buy one, get one free offer.

The offer is exclusive to "My Pretzel Perks" Members, but it's pretty easy to become one. All you have to do is download Auntie Anne's "My Pretzel Perks" free app in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store by 11:59 P.M. EST on February 12th.

Your boo will definitely be impressed and appreciate not getting a sickening amount of chocolate for the umpteenth time in a row. What happens after that is all up to you.
