Must read

Giving out the best Walmart gifts makes for happy giftees, even the ones who insist they have everything. This is especially true if you’re shopping online, where the virtual shelves are overflowing. The mega-retailer is absolutely stocked with beautifully unboxable, best-selling makeup, skin care, on-trend beauty tech, and hair tools. No matter who you’re wrapping for, Walmart has something sure to please. Still, the abundance of choices can be overwhelming and, honestly, a little distracting. We’re here to help simplify your search by rounding up the best Walmart gifts the site has to offer. So as the holidays approach, get started early with these gems and thank us later. Happy Walmart-ing!

Our Top Gifts:

Beats Solo Buds

The Beats Solo Buds are a pair of stand-aparts that’ll shoot your giftee’s Spotify Wrapped numbers through the roof. With up to 18 hours of battery life and thoughtful acoustic design, music-obsessives will hear the difference (i.e. high-fidelity sound, deeper and clearer bass frequencies, and beyond). Grab a pair in matte gray, transparent red, or classic black.

Cosrx All About Snail Kit

Cosrx is a K-beauty superstar brand that impresses us time and time again. And the secret ingredient? Snail mucin. Explain to your giftee that despite the sound of it, there’s nothing slimy or sticky about these formulas. The snail secretion contains ample barrier-protecting peptides, which are fantastic for your skin. In the kit, she’ll get minis of the Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser, Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream, and Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream for glowing, bouncy skin.

Snoop Dogg From Crook to Cook Cookbook

From Crook to Cook Cookbook

Somewhere along the way, the all-star rapper set himself apart for his kitchen skills, as evidenced by Snoop Dogg’s From Crook to Cook Cookbook. Packed with 50 of Snoop’s favorite recipes—like baked mac and cheese, orange chicken, and filet mignon—your amateur chef/hip-hop-loving little sister will be obsessed. Bonus points for the meal she makes you a few days later.

Fenchlin Vanity Mirror

The delightfully hi-tech, attractive Fenchlin Vanity Mirror is a crowd-pleaser. This lighted mirror has 14 dimmable bulbs with three light temperatures—warm, natural, and cool white—to help your giftee apply as accurately as possible. They can pop it on their vanity or hang it on the wall to save surface space.

Billie Eilish Eau de Parfum

Eau de Parfum

Celebrity perfumes aren’t always a slam dunk, but the Billie Eilish Eau de Parfum is a serious success story. Never mind the beauty of the Romanesque, gold-bust bottle—the scent is divine. This ambery gourmand fragrance incorporates notes of vanilla, mandarin, and musk, perfect for transitioning from fall to winter.

Peter Thomas Roth Hydration Duo Kit

Hydration Duo Kit

Peter Thomas Roth’s Hydration Duo Kit makes a sweet gift for your college-aged kid getting into skin care. Each product—the Water Drench Moisturizer and Cucumber De-Tox Eye Patches—provides a generous dose of hydration using a 30% hyaluronic acid complex and Pentavitin (a plant-derived, moisturizing ingredient). The result is glowiness and plumpness that lasts all day.

Polaroid Hi-Print Pocket Photo Printer

Polaroid

Hi-Print Pocket Photo Printer

We love scrolling through our extensive (to put it lightly) photo libraries, but a printed pic hits different—especially when it doubles as a sticker. The Polaroid Hi-Print Pocket Photo Printer connects to your best friend’s phone via Bluetooth, printing photos with sticky backs in under a minute. Send her your favorite selfie of the two of you and ask her to print a second copy for you to keep for yourself.

Refurbished Dyson Airwrap

Few products make us gush like the Dyson Airwrap, especially when we can save $200—as long as your giftee’s chill with getting a flawlessly refurbished rendition. Former beauty and wellness editor Taylore Glynn said it herself, “Even with a terrible technique, my hair came out looking truly styled,” she explained. “This is worth the investment.” The six attachments make an already versatile tool even more so.

Milani Make It Last Setting Spray 2-Pack

Milani

Make It Last Setting Spray 2-Pack

The fact that any setting spray exists is a gift in and of itself (Makeup slipping and slipping? No, thanks), and Milani makes a really good one (or two, when you opt for this duo). Your full-glam-loving cousin will love this formula, which locks in her look for up to 24 hours, hydrating all the while.

Ninja Air Fryer

Ninja’s Air Fryer is a total game changer, and after your mom uses it for the first time, she’ll never go back. She can use it to make basically anything—from meat to veggies to desserts to low-oil french fries. Make the inaugural meal to show her the ropes. You’re such a good daughter.

Cocokind 3-Step Hydration Skin Barrier Set

Cocokind

3-Step Hydration Skin Barrier Set

Cocokind’s 3-Step Hydration Skin Barrier Set is a right-away, mini routine that goes easy on skin and cleanses without stripping. She’ll unbox an oil-to-milk cleanser (which expertly removes makeup), a ceramide and lipid-packed serum, and a polypeptide complex and squalane moisturizer. It’s well- suited for all ages, starting at tweenhood.

Luna Magic Shadow Palette

This Luna Magic Shadow Palette is composed of a lovely range of neutrals and brights for all the blending and building one could hope for. The palette features 12 metallics and 12 mattes, all richly pigmented and complimentary of all skin tones. We love the matte brown Mamacita and bronzy metallic Salsa.

It’s Lit Candle

The Body by TPH It’s Lit Candle was designed for a nighttime wind-down, ideal for your bestie who comes home from work with a headache almost every day. Cardamom, patchouli, turmeric, and coconut are at work to calm and center her sniffer before bed. Pro tip: Pop it on the bathroom sink and let it burn during a steamy shower.

Drybar

The Triple Shot Interchangeable Blow-Dryer Brush

Blow-dryer brushes are an Allure editor desert island essential, so naturally, Drybar’s Triple Shot Interchangeable Blow-Dryer Brush is squarely on our list. “If you want people to ask if you just got a professional blowout—that is, super smooth with loads of bounce—Drybar’s The Double Shot Oval Blow-Dryer Brush is the tool for you,” content director Kara McGrath previously told Allure. This iteration is complete with three brush heads—one for defined waves, one for pin-straight strands, and one for a ton of volume—for a ton of versatility.
