If it wasn't for the Last Minute, I'd never get anything done.


Thanks to Walgreens for underwriting this post. I was paid as a member of the Clever Girls Collective, but the content is all mine. Visit http://www.walgreens.com/beauty




'Tis the week to freak out about all of those people that are on your list that you forgot to get something for.



That's only me? *ahem*


You can do it all in one place. No lie. At Walgreens.


A swing through my local Walgreens yesterday had me brimming with ideas. Check this out:

  • For the college student/young adult with a small apartment: small appliances by Sylvania $14.99-26.99, all with a $5 rebate. I'd go with the rice cooker for $10.99 (after rebate.)
  • For the tween girl: feather hair extensions, 2/$10.
  • Various girls/women on your list: super soft fuzzy socks. For girls, with Dora the Explorer on them, ($3.99 each or 3/$10) So cute! Or for teens/women, 3 pack, 2/$12. That's 6 pairs, y'all!
  • For the tween boy: AXE body wash, $6.49.
  • For the 'local' enthusiast: sweatshirts with your city name, $19.99.
This year I've been shopping for myself a little. (I'm the only shopper in my house, so if I don't do it, no one will!) So if you happen to be an adult, male member of my family, here's what you can get for me, or the sister-in-law that you don't have no idea what she wants:
  • Waterproof tote, in Burberry plaid print, $5.99.
Fashion Tote, Assorted Designs(Not the plaid, but the same tote.)
  • Fill it with: the above fuzzy socks, 
  • Wine! (Walgreens sells wine here in California. Score!)
  • Anything (or everything?) from the Yes to Carrots line ($2.99-$20.49 regular price, on sale this week buy one, get one 50% off!) See also: Yes to Blueberries, Yes to Cucumbers.
  • Any thick body moisturizer, like those by Eucerin, Udderly Smooth, Cetaphil, or Palmer's Cocoa Butter.
Body & Udder Cream

Wanna fill some stockings? In addition to your Great Aunt Matilda's favorite Chocolate Covered Cherries, get some of these:
  • Chapstick or Carmex
  • nail clippers
  • fingernail decals
  • toothbrushes/toothpaste
  • perfume/cologne
  • eye shadow/mascara
  • makeup remover wipes
  • multi-vitamins
  • fleece baby blankets (only $1!)
Want more savings? There's some great Walgreens coupons in this flyer/shopping guide.

So? What will you buy at Walgreens this year? You can tell me. I can keep a secret.

Amber has always loved the Yes To Tomatoe shampoo and then she couldn't find it. Good to know that Walgreen's carries Yet To items!
