"One of the burdens of being a mother in 2026 is that as soon as we finish one hectic holiday-planning season, another approaches. Winter is a great example: Even though you just finished putting away the Christmas decorations, Valentine's Day is fast approaching. (And let's be honest, for some of us those Christmas decorations are still exactly where they were in December - and that's just fine.)"
"Luckily, Atlanta-based mom of two, Lakeisha Drayton, has the keys to making Valentine's Day shopping stress-free, and her number one tip is to shop her local CVS. "I always try to visit the store when seasonal items first hit the shelf so I can get the best ones," she said, sharing that her personal favorites range from custom photo gifts, beautiful gift sets, and seasonal candy. "It's a one stop shop. I always find everything I need to put a thoughtful gift together.""
Holiday planning cycles quickly from one celebration to the next, with Valentine's Day following soon after Christmas. Many households still have decorations up even as new seasonal preparations begin. Shopping at a local CVS can make Valentine's Day preparation more manageable because seasonal items arrive on shelves early and supplies cover diverse needs. Visiting when seasonal items first appear improves selection. Popular CVS offerings include custom photo gifts, curated gift sets, and seasonal candy. CVS functions as a one-stop shop where errands, prescriptions, and gift purchases can be combined. Affordable options allow thoughtful gifting without overspending and support self-care through small treats.
