The post Last Minute Christmas Gifts, is written as a part of the Walgreens #HappyAllTheWay #shop, hosted by media company Collective Bias. As with all my posts, these are my thoughts and experiences.
I love buying unique handmade gifts for Christmas, but when I need some last minute Christmas gifts I have to look a little closer to home. And I have just the place in mind!!!
Our local Walgreens. (For some reason when I think of Walgreens, I hear this in my head: “At the Corner of Happy and Healthy!“) You too?
So I walked in, and the first thing I see is the Walgreens Holiday Solutions.
I start paging through it. We no longer do stockings in our families, but I like to give gifts to friends that would be considered stocking stuffer gifts.
There were a lot of ideas in the Walgreens holiday gift guide. I kinda-sorta found myself wishing that I hadn’t yet bought for certain people because of all the Christmas present ideas. I really liked how there was a section with stuffed stockings for the entire family.
Now to start looking around and see what I can find…. Since I have no idea who reads this blog, and it’s before Christmas, I’m not going to say who I am shopping for, other than they are close to my age and have their own home.
Because I am a freak when it comes to kitchen stuff, you can be sure I looked for that kind of stuff first. 🙂 I found a nice section with all sorts of kitchen stuff. However, I couldn’t decide (maybe a case of too many choices) so I started looking at other stuff as well.
One thing I really liked was the wide variety of gift ideas that were available and how easy it would be to personalize a stocking for any adult in your life. I finally hit upon the perfect idea. Why not give a stocking stuffer that IS a stocking?!
Yes! A Stuffed Sock Stocking Stuffer! Say that 5 times fast. 😉
The socks that I found were really pretty on the outside and super soft on the inside. I have lots of fluffy/fuzzy socks, but none quite like those. In fact, I nearly forgot I wasn’t buying for myself.
So, I stuffed fuzzy socks with nail stuff. Nail clippers, a purse sized nail file with a case; and the cherry on top were these cool duo style nail polishes. A solid color combined with a glitter color for topping.
Okay guys, and here’s the clincher: I bought two great gifts, and spent less than $25 total! Of course, I saved over $7 just for using my Walgreens Rewards cards. Made my day!
Aren’t they totally gift worthy?
Yeah, I know…. You wish you were on my shopping list too. 🙂 But that’s okay, if you really want your own pair of super fuzzy socks, and cool duo nail polish, you know where to go. Merry Christmas to You!
Neat idea. And, your tongue twister challenged me. If I went slow enough, I could say it twice in a row without messing up. 🙂 “A stuffed sock stocking stuffer”. Fun! 🙂
Walgreens is always my go to for stocking stuffers!
Would you believe I have never bought anything other than otc and stuff like that at Walgreens before now? I was missing out 🙂
We have a Walgreens around the corner and I think I wind up spending more money there than anywhere else. It’s so easy to run into for a gift card or small item.
I can see how easy it would be to do that 🙂
That’s a great gift idea! Everyone likes nailpolish 🙂
Yup! I know you do 😉
Love the socks!!!
Thanks! I am hoping to make it back there soon and get me a pair or two, I love how soft they are 🙂
Those are some great ideas I live just 2 blocks from Walgreens and, while I always find something cute for myself there, I realize I should branch out and actually think of others. lol.
I love the section where they have the stuff that’s advertised on TV. I’ve bought pretty many of those. The great (the egg that gets the callouses off your feet) and the not so great….that bra that’s supposed to fit me and be comfortable that I never got over my head.)
Amyway, greatpost!
Yeah, I saw a lot of that stuff 🙂 I actually picked something up for my MIL from that section but somehow managed to leave the store without it. Oops!
btw, love your new site style 🙂 (you are way better at leaving comments than I am)
awesome last-minute gift ideas! Love what you put together!
What a clever idea to use something like socks versus a stocking that you would only hang up once a year. #client
Thanks! Around here, we love fuzzy socks, especially at Christmas time 🙂
