A few years ago I created a holiday gift basket full of Mom’s favorite products and gave it to her for Christmas. It was one of those gifts that just kept giving. Throughout the year when she ran low on a product, she would simply pull another one from her basket. It was not only a creative gift just for her, but it was also a money-saving one!
Yesterday while flipping through the Walgreens Happy and Healthy Gift Guide, which is full of gifting solutions for the entire family, I found several items on sale that I knew would be perfect for mom’s gift basket.
One item that’s a definite for my mom’s gift basket is the Olay ProX Advanced Cleansing System, which is on sale when used with my Balance Rewards card. She raved about the Olay products I bought her last time, so I know she will be thrilled to see that in her basket.
I also spotted many cosmetics that would be great for Mom including the Revlon lip and nail products. And because I love saving money myself, I was happy to spot a coupon for Revlon lip products in the back of the guide to go with the sale.
I’m totally snagging this deal on Walgreens cooling sleep mask. One for her, and one for me! 🙂
No great holiday basket is complete without a little chocolate, right? Plus the sale is 2 for $7 so I can snag a bag of truffles for myself! Haha, score!
Here’s a sneak peek at just some of the savings you can find in the back of the guide, which is in stores now!
I like that the guide includes not only great savings, but yummy recipes, beauty tips, and more! So whether you’re shopping last minute Christmas gifts, or just looking for ideas, Walgreens holiday catalog has you covered! Run to your nearest Walgreens to grab your gift guide and happy shopping!

I love shopping at Walgreens now. I used to see them as an over-priced store but with coupons they make buying all my favorite items easier. I love their coupon policy too.

I love all the great gift ideas at Walgreens this year. Thanks for sharing.
Mitzi says
that is such a wonderful idea and best of all, it is one that can be used for any occasion. I think I might have to do something like this for my daughters birthday. Thanks for sharing…
Jennifer H says
Yep, exactly – perfect for any occasion! 🙂
Jen says
If I had daughters I would be more than happy for them to buy all my gifts from drugstores because I love all the things you show above. But my sons wouldn’t have a clue what to buy.

As a mom, and a nail polish addict. I’ve love a gift basket loaded with cosmetics from Walgreens. I’ll have to share this with my hubby.

I love all of these products, but sadly, I’d be most excited to receive the Lindt chocolates! LOL I only eat sweets like that this time of year!
Columba Lisa Smith says
I don’t have a Walgreens nearby, believe it or not! Country hick here, lol! This is a great inspiration, though. I may do this for my mom’s birthday in January.
Jennifer H says
Yea, it’s a great gift for anyone! Even a child going off to college.

April - My Bizarre Family says
I did a basket like that for several family members of mine last year! I plan on doing it again this year…great minds and all that right? 😉
Jennifer H says
yep!
Tammy says
That is such a great idea to package a basket up like that, with a bright ribbon around it and all those yummy treats and other items in it. Especially the pampering items because often people want things like that but don’t want to purchase it themselves!
Jennifer H says
Exactly!! 🙂
