Gifts for a very special Mother's Day
Celebrating with mom for the first time in over a year? Make it memorable with gifts from Walgreens.
Sarah Cason, Walgreens Stories
Tulips are blooming, warm weather has returned and the promise of safe reunions is at our doorstep. After a year of separation, this upcoming Mother’s Day is poised to be one to remember. Some families will come together to honor mom in person for the first time in a long time. Some may still be celebrating with a virtual toast and gifts sent from afar.
Regardless of your plans, the special mother or mother figure in your life deserves a reminder of how much they are loved. To make it easy, Walgreens is offering great value on a range of popular mom must-have’s, plus new items selected specially to inspire new memories.
For in-person celebrations, a personal touch
Arrive to the party with a gift that will have mom thinking of you on a daily basis. Succulents, mugs and wine tumblers emblazoned with “Best Mom Ever,” “#MomLife” and more are available now. Treat grandma to a wooden sign with an endearing message like, “Love is a grandma’s embrace.” Voice-recorded plush teddy bears add a unique chance for mom to hear a personal message from you or your little ones with a squeeze of the tummy.
Do certain fragrances remind you of mom? Drive in for easy curbside pickup of classic, timeless scents like Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds, Dolce and Gabbana’s Light Blue and Versace’s Bright Crystal, all 20 percent off from now through May 29.
Another option is to treat mom to fan favorite chocolates like two bags of Lindt Milk Truffles or Ghirardelli chocolates for $8, boxes of premium Lindt chocolates and Ferrero Rocher for $10.99, and Russell Stover and Whitman’s boxes for $3.99 with an in-store coupon.
Send love from a social distance
A card is always called for when it comes to recognizing mom. Remind her it’s time to relax and relish in the holiday with a colorful card and a message she’ll love. And, when you buy two Mother’s Day cards the week of May 2 (can’t forget your mother-in-law!), you’ll save $2.
Have fresh flowers hand-delivered this year. Bouquets of tulips and orchids will be available in-store, for curbside pick-up, or via delivery. Prices range from $8.99-$19.99, including a dozen roses for $15-$19.99. Imagine mom’s face when she opens the door to a fresh bouquet – bonus points if you time them to arrive during your Zoom call.
If the past year of separation has taught us anything, it’s the importance of savoring every moment. Compile the photos you took over the past year into a photo book, or print the best shot onto canvas for a permanent piece mom or grandma can hang up on the wall.
Another option is to customize your card using the Mail-for-Me service. Select the design, upload a photo, and choose a font, which the photo department will mail on your behalf. If you’re in a hurry, photos books, canvas, photo cubes and photo magnets can be created and picked up the same day—and mom will never be the wiser.
