Finding the right gift for the right person can be a huge challenge. What do they like? Where can I get it? When do I have time? If you’re the kind of person who gets paralyzed by these types of questions (like me), I thought I’d lend a helping hand by doing the hard work for you. I sanded Walmart to find gifts for the whole family, from kids to grandparents and everyone in between. So go ahead and use this guide as your source for all your holiday shopping needs. After all, ’tis the season of giving. (Don’t mention it.)
1 – Nintendo Switch™ Mario Kart™ 8 Deluxe Bundle $299
For the new video game player:
With one of the best libraries in 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 includes one of the best games on the system, Mario Kart 8, and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, giving you access to a full library of classic NES, Super NES, and Game Boy games.
2 – Audio-Technica wireless record player $159
For the vinyl conversion:
A few months ago I bought this exact turntable and I know it sounds weird, but it has completely changed the way I listen to music. Vinyl lovers have been saying this for years, but I’m a true convert. I was able to connect it to my soundbar via Bluetooth without any problems. I got lucky when my dad gifted me a bunch of old records to expand my collection, but you can start yours with Walmart’s exclusive vinyl release Barbie the album, Olivia Rodrigo’s gutsAnd Metallica’s classic ‘Black Album’.
3 – On. Reusable 35MM camera with flash $25
For the old soul:

5 – Twister air $15
For the family looking for an excuse to get off the couch:
This app-based twist on the classic Twister has players reaching, posing and clapping to try to match their one-size-fits-all bands with colored spots on their screen. 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 about their time playing the OG. It’s great for the whole family, but you can also play it solo to practice and make sure you’re in charge during family game night.
