Nationwide

Nation's largest retail pharmacy offers affordable, last-minute gifts perfect
for every dad

WOONSOCKET, R.I., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- CVS/pharmacy, America's largest
retail pharmacy, provides convenient, last-minute Father's Day gift options
with both exclusive product lines and national brand favorites. From
electronics like GPS devices and portable DVD players to grilling essentials
and grooming necessities, shoppers can find the perfect gifts at any
CVS/pharmacy location nationwide.

For the dad who has everything, personalized photo gifts are just a touch away
at any CVS/pharmacy Photo Center. For less than $15.00, shoppers can add a
personal touch with a variety of in-store photo books or a Kodak Picture Movie
DVD set to dad's favorite song. Both items can be created at the in-store
photo kiosk and taken home the very same day.

Just in time for Father's Day, CVS/pharmacy has launched the perfect gift for
dads on the run - a virtual CVS/pharmacy giftcard. Available online at
CVS.com, senders simply select the dollar amount and set the day and time that
the card should be delivered via email. The virtual gift cards can also be
personalized by uploading a photo or image. Recipients can then print out the
email including the virtual gift card for use toward any in-store purchase.
As always, shoppers can also select from more than 220 gift cards to popular
retail outlets such as The Home Depot, Starbucks and Barnes & Noble.

"This year, as people are looking to maximize value and convenience, we are
making it easier than ever to find great gifts for dad. From practical items
to sentimental gifts, shoppers will be delighted to find a large selection of
products available at any of our convenient locations or at CVS.com - even at
the last-minute," said Mike Bloom, Senior Vice President of CVS/pharmacy.

CVS/pharmacy continues to provide a wide selection of gift-giving staples
including traditional greeting cards as well as singing and recordable cards
which add a personal touch to any gift. Colorful gift bags, wrapping paper and
all the trimmings shoppers need are also conveniently available for a
one-stop-shopping trip.

For additional savings, CVS/pharmacy encourages shoppers to use their
ExtraCare Rewards cards. With more than 55 million active cardholders,
CVS/pharmacy's ExtraCare program is the largest retail rewards program in the
nation and participants earn 2% back on nearly every purchase they make,
delivered in the form of 'CVS/pharmacy dollars' called Extra Bucks. The
program is free and only takes minutes to join in-store or on CVS.com. Extra
Bucks are paid out online and on the bottom of customer receipts at the
beginning of each quarter. Additionally, cardholders receive instant Extra
Bucks every time they shop, simply by purchasing specially-advertised items
such as many of the items detailed above.
