by Finding the right gift for the right person can be a tremendous challenge. What do they like? Where can I get it? When will I have time? If you’re the kind of person who is paralyzed by these types of questions (like me), I thought I’d lend a helping hand by doing the hard work for you. I scoured Walmart to find gifts for the entire family, from kids to grandparents and everyone in between. So go ahead and use this guide as your go-to source for all your holiday shopping needs. After all, it’s the season of giving. (You’re welcome.)
1 – Nintendo Switch™ Mario Kart™ 8 Deluxe Bundle $299
For the new video game player:
With one of the greatest libraries in all of gaming, the Nintendo Switch is an absolute must for anyone who plays video games. If you don’t have one, fix that immediately. This edition comes packed with one of the best games on the system, Mario Kart 8, and a three month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, which gives you access to a full library of classic NES, Super NES, and Game Boy games.
2 – Audio-Technica Wireless Turntable $159
For the vinyl convert:
A few months ago, I bought this exact turntable and, I know it sounds silly, but it’s completely changed the way I listen to music. Vinyl appreciators have been saying this for years, but I’m a true convert. I was able to connect it to my soundbar via Bluetooth with zero issues. I got lucky when my dad gifted me a ton of his old records to build my collection, but you can start yours off Walmart vinyl exclusive version of Barbie the Album, Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS, and Metallica’s Classic “Black Album”.
3 – onn. Reusable 35MM Camera w/Flash $25
For the old soul:
You can’t beat the warmth of a 35MM photo. There’s just something about *aesthetic*. Dip your toes back into the physical film world with this easy to use 35MM camera. Anyone who brings this to a party will be an instant hit, providing Instagram material for days.
4 – onn. 32GM 8″ Kids Tablet $79
For the kids (But really for the parents…):

5 – Twister Air $15
For the family looking for an excuse to get off the couch:
This app-based twist on classic Twister will have players reaching, posing, and clapping to try and match their one-size-fits-all bands to colored spots on their screens. Connect to the free app on any smartphone or tablet, and the kids will love the augmented reality aspect and the parents will be nostalgic over their time playing the OG. It’s a blast for the whole family, but you can play it solo to practice and make sure you reign supreme during family game night.

For Pop Stars (Or People Who Think They Are):
This portable, wireless karaoke microphone will ensure you’re the star at your next party. No additional speaker necessary! Just cue up some karaoke videos and start singing.
