This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and Walgreens.
However, all opinions expressed are my own.
Here we are… the last weekend before Christmas. Have you finished all your shopping? I thought I was done, but then I remembered I need to get a little something for the mail carrier, a few cards for our garbage men, a couple of things for some neighbors, and maybe a regalito (gift) or two to have on hand just in case someone drops buy unexpectedly. We all have that tía (aunt) that comes over bearing gifts… and you don’t want to be left feeling empty-handed!
Walgreens is the place to go for those last minute holiday gifts! I was just there, and I can tell you there’s a huge variety of gift ideas so you can get everything you need in one place, making your holidays a little less stressful. Whether it be for tía, the mailman, or a neighbor, Walgreens tiene regalitos para todos en tu lista – gifts for just about anyone on your holiday shopping list.
One of the first things that caught my eye when I walked into the beauty aisle were the beautifully packaged gift sets. Old Spice, Gillette, Nivea, Axe, Aveeno, Dove – and more! – for $10-$15 per set. I know so many people who would appreciate something like this!
For the little ones on your list, there are tons of toys at Walgreens! I was surprised by the huge selection. Everything from Barbies to Lalaloopsy dolls and Tonka trucks. You can find stuffed animals of all shapes and sizes, and lots of games. ¡Qué divertido!
Oh, how I love practical gifts… this pop-up note dispensing purse would make a cute gift for a teacher, or maybe a secretary. Or a fun idea for a Secret Santa gift exchange at an office Christmas party.
The ‘As Seen On TV’ section always cracks me up. I think a Chia Pet would make the perfect white elephant gift for a gift exchange. Or a gift for that person que lo tiene todo – that has everything.
Don’t forget photo gifts! Just because it’s last minute doesn’t mean it can’t be personal. I created a photo gift in minutes (a collage) for one of my daughter’s teachers, using the Walgreens app, while I was waiting at the bus stop, and picked it up an hour later.
And last, but certainly not least, there’s a gift card section! Mail carriers can’t take cold hard dinero, so I like to give our favorite mailman a little gift card and some chocolates. Walgreens offers gift cards for iTunes, restaurants, department stores, and so much more.
¿Y el chocolate? The hardest part is choosing which one… & not buying some for myself!
BUY IT!
To help shoppers pick up any last-minute items, Walgreens will be open until midnight through Christmas Eve, and from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Navidad – Christmas Day. 24-hour stores and pharmacies are always open, ¡todo el día!

I personally love beanies, or hats, and I know a lot of other people that love them too. they’re perfect for the cooler months and add a bit of rugged edge to your look. they’re also perfect for guys *and* girls, so I like to buy a couple extra around the holidays just incase.
and the best part is, if there’s no unexpected guests or no unannounced gift exchanges, I can keep them for myself!
