Did the holidays sneak up on you? All the warnings — pre-Black Friday, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, extended Cyber Monday — went by in a whirlwind, and your shopping list sits there, ignored and looming. You are not alone in this.
Walmart knows. And it's having a Christmas sale that will let you knock down that list to nothing with a minimum of cash outlay and no effort at all.
We found an amazing deal for each and every person on your list.
An Instant Pot that looks better than everyone else's
Someone on your list wants an Instant Pot, right? Even if they don't know that's what they want? How do you feed a family — or even yourself — without being able to make perfect rice, near-instant risotto, a pork loin in 20 minutes, and everything else this wonder machine does? It boggles the mind that anyone would try.
And this The Pioneer Woman Instant Pot will look gorgeous on the counter while it cooks. This is the giftable version of the Instant Pot, and it's on sale for $49. (Normally $99.)
Send everyone outside to play with laser guns.
Give these to everyone. Then, when all the presents are opened, you can send everyone outside for an epic game of space war. These GPX Laser Tag Blasters are fun, so easy to use the little kids can join in, and on a sale so massive you can get six of them and arm the neighborhood. They are normally $49.99 for a pair. That pair is down to $9.99. That knocked a lot of people off your list, right?
The diskless gaming console your kids want
Chances are, someone on your list is asking for an Xbox. The Microsoft Xbox One S 1TB — the all-digital version — is on sale for $159. (Normally this bundle is $199.) And it comes with three games — Sea of Thieves, Fortnite Battle Royale, and Minecraft — to jump-start your family's gaming fun.
This diskless version downloads the games so you don't have to clean up and store any gaming disks.
Upgrade your camping experience with hot food.
Know someone who likes to camp? Or maybe your family once camped before small kids and their need for hot food arrived? There is a reason that this Coleman camping stove is owned by so many families who camp: It's a must-have! Portable, easy to use, and capable of churning out coffee and breakfast for the entire crew.
It's normally $84.79. It's only $43.88 in this sale. Do it!
Get in Pilates shape at home without expensive classes.
Send this link to someone who might be willing to splurge on you! For the price of a few months of Pilates classes, you could own your own Pilates reformer. This Stamina AeroPilates Pro XP 556 Reformer gives a full-body strength and cardio workout that can accommodate injuries or postpartum issues that might be holding you back. It's the real deal. Normally it's $1,200. In this sale, though? $649.
Are the kids all asking for iPhones?
All the kids are (as usual) begging for new iPhones, and you are assuming that's not a thing you can afford. But how specific were they about the model? Because this Straight Talk Apple iPhone 6s Prepaid Smartphone is only $99 in this sale. It's not the newest iPhone, but these are kids! Getting the latest model is a perk that comes with employment!
A prepaid phone is a good option for kids, too, because it teaches them how to budget. Sure, they are budgeting data usage, not money. But the concept transfers. And if the kids are irresponsible with the phone, you can stop paying the bill. No contract.
