With a Walgreens just around the corner from my house, I'm there all the time. If not to pick up the usual prescriptions or photos, I'm there to pick up any number of things including gifts! It's like my own little secret to find last-minute Christmas gifts that are perfect for everyone including teacher gifts, neighbor gifts and co-workers. And best of all, Walgreens has all your unique wrapping needs to make your gift stand out and look like you spent hours making it look perfect!
So when work caused me to spend Thanksgiving away from my family, a long-time coworker/friend was kind enough to invite me to her home to join her family for Turkey Day. While I wasn't able to be with my kiddos, the hospitality of her family not only made it bearable, but memorable, so I wanted to give a little token of my appreciation for allowing me to spend the day with them.
And of course, I found all kinds of other gift ideas for other people, too!
The stocking stuffers galore including a great display of Christmas socks and Christmas toiletries that anyone would love.
And I'm pretty sure I began shopping for gift wrap before I even found a gift. Aren't these options ideal for the small things to the big items that are never easy to wrap.
And who couldn't miss these guys - the holiday "chorus." I just couldn't resist myself from hearing them all sing in unison. Check out the Walgreens "Chorus!"
One of the coolest things I found was an end cap display - when you buy two bottles of wine and a package of Ghirardelli chocolate, you'll also receive a free festive red cardboard basket that's perfect for gift giving, and all for a reasonable price!
Trying to narrow down the options, I remembered while I was visiting with the family they mentioned that they were having a cooking decorating competition and it would be the last one before her son went to college. So when I saw this Ninja Gingerbread Cookie Kit in the holiday aisle, I just had to have it. Since I'm an apron fanatic, I thought adding a Santa apron would be a way to give signature gift from me. And to wrap it up just right, I found this adorable ceramic Santa cookie tray to use as part of the gift wrap AND as part of the gift.
Using the red ribbon and these sparkly mitten nametags that almost could be double as pot holders for my culinary-themed gift, I put together a sophisticated gift that I'm so excited to give.
