Last Minute Gifts

By now, many of you will have finished your Christmas shopping.

However, there are always those last minute gifts that are needed for stockings or maybe you still have one more person to buy for.

Today, I have two suggestions: Walgreens & Meijer!

Let me explain: Walgreens has lots of items that people don't even realize that they sell and this close to Christmas many things are on sale. You can pick up one of their store ads when you walk in. Within the ad are some 'in ad' coupons that make your shopping that much cheaper!

Candy can make an easy stocking filler or a good last minute gift for that one person you don't really know very well but have to give a gift too! There is an 'in ad' coupon for assorted Christmas candy for 39 cents. Limit 6 (assortment varies by store)
Theater pack or King size candy is $3/3-again assortment varies by store. 2.54-7.8oz

If you have a child you need to buy for why not give them a game? This type of gift is something they can play right away with others who are gathered for the Christmas celebration-a nice way to keep kids from getting bored! $4.99!

Walgreen's has Uno, Hippos, Scrabble Slam! & more! Check your local Walgreens for their selection.

Puzzle, activity or coloring books are 3/$1-limit6

If you need tape, wrapping paper or gifts bags Walgreens has all of these items and many are on sale! You can get a 3 pack of Scotch Tape for 2.99 or Walgreens Tape is .99-limit 3 for both brands.

Nuts are a good thing to put out in a dish when people come over! Check out your local Walgreens ad because many different types are on sale! Planters & Walgreens brands

There are also many gift sets and a new extended line of gift cards that you can pick up at Walgreens. Gift cards are great gifts for those hard to buy for people and since you can find so many types at Walgreens you don't have to run all over town to different restaurants or stores to get them-instead you can get them all in one place-Walgreens!!!

Check out your local Meijer's seasonal department: Many Meijer stores have a special $5 and under stocking stuffer aisle in the seasonal department! At my Meijer I found a tube of small play dough tubs for one of my children (under $5). I also noticed that there were toys specifically for girls and boys and some generic things. Metal slinkies, cute sparkle bags with brushes and combs and other 'girlie' type stuff and much more! If you need that last minute stocking stuffer head to your local Meijer.

One thing to remember is that the one day of the year Meijer is NOT open is Christmas Day. So, if you need to get a few things you better get them soon-it's already Dec. 23. Happy last minute shopping!

After you have finished all of your shopping, take a minute to relax and be thankful that you have so many loved ones to buy gifts for! And remember-Christmas is not just about shopping and eating-It is about Jesus' birth and the fact that He came to save us which is the greatest gift ever given!

Hope you all have a blessed CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year!
