5 last minute gifts from Walgreens that are perfect for fans of sweets and treats

Did you forget to get gifts for the stockings? Did someone drop in at the last minute and you want to give them a small treat for Christmas? Or maybe you completely forgot to snag a few gifts and there is no time to do an online order or head to the mall. Walgreens understands and they have the answer to our gift giving needs.

While their shelves may not have everything that they started the holiday season with, that doesn’t mean we can’t find some good gift giving options or stocking stuffers. And that is where these suggestions come into the picture.

Whether you just need an idea of what to snag or are looking for a sweet treat that will bring a smile to anyone’s face, these gifts from the aisles of your local Walgreens might just be the way to go.

So what are we picking up at Walgreens as our last minute gift giving selections?

5 Gift ideas for last minute shoppers heading to Walgreens

• Candy filled candy canes/tubes – Every year, candy companies release tubes of their candy, often in the shape of a candy cane. Of course, there are other festive designs besides the candy cane, as we have also seen a tube of Hershey Kisses that had a Grinch topper too. You can never go wrong giving these as a gift.
• Assorted flavors of Candy Canes – New flavors of candy cane seem to be released every single year. This year, I am obsessed with the Brach’s Funfetti Candy Canes, which really did remind me of the classic Funfetti icing. But the fact that we can also snag boxes of Sour Patch Kids Candy Canes, Dum-Dums Candy Canes, Lifesavers Candy Canes, Nerds Candy Canes, and even Skittles Candy Canes, makes this the perfect way to have some fun with the candy lovers in your life. (And if you are really lucky, Walgreens might be running a sale on the candy canes so you can buy multiples and mix and match.)
• Hershey Mug Cakes – While this may not be a new thing, this year we can get an assortment of Mug Cake gift sets from Walgreens. The Walgreens down the street from me has a Reese’s Mug Cake with mug and a Hershey Kisses Mug Cake with matching mug.
• Crayola Tin Bank with Gummies – Have some fun with gift giving and give the gift of a Crayola shaped coin bank that is filled with one of our favorite sweet treats for heading to the movies – Gummy Bears! And since the full price on this is just $5.99 (at our store), you really can’t go wrong giving this as a present to someone.
• Lindor Chocolate Boxes – If you are looking to give a more luxurious gift without breaking the bank, then the Lindt Lindor Chocolate Boxes wrapped in gold with red ribbon is the perfect choice for the last minute gifter. And since the shelf price by us was just $14.99 for one of their boxes of Lindor Chocolates, we think these are a great way to give the gift of deliciousness. (Of course, you could also go with bags of the Lindt Chocolates too and be just as decadent as ever.)

Christmas is almost here and if you don’t have time to go all out, check out the aisles of your nearest Walgreens. You may be surprised by what you find.
