With Christmas less than two weeks away, many of you might be preparing to host holiday get-togethers with friends and family. Others may need to pick up some last-minute gifts.Â
Before you start shopping, check out these seven Walmart items you should stock up on for the holidays.
Wrapping Supplies
My kids are always doing craft projects, which usually include the need for Scotch tape. However, this means we never have any when I need it to wrap Christmas gifts. If this sounds like your situation, make sure to stock up on tape and other gift-wrapping supplies on your next Walmart trip.
You can purchase a two-pack of Scotch Gift-Wrap Tape for $4.77. You can also pick up rolls of wrapping paper starting at less than $1.00. They also have wrapping paper sets starting at $17.99. These include four rolls of wrapping paper, gift labels, bows, and ribbons.
Christmas Sweaters
Do you need to pick up a Christmas sweater for your holiday party? Or maybe you’ll attend an ugly Christmas sweater party somewhere else.
Walmart has a huge selection of Christmas sweaters to choose from. Many of these are very reasonably priced. If you need to stock up on one for everyone in the family, you won’t break your budget.Â
Disposable Plates, Cups and Cutlery
Hosting a party almost always means a lot of dirty dishes that need to be washed afterward. This year, make things easier for you and stock up on disposable items. This way, people can just toss them in the trash or recycle them.
Walmart has a 100-pack of Dixie disposable plates for just $6.28. You can also grab a 96-count package of assorted cutlery for $6.88 and a 100-count of red plastic cups for $5.84.
Popcorn Tins
If you need to pick up some gifts for teachers or co-workers, you can’t go wrong with Popcorn. Walmart sells Christmas-themed popcorn tins for under $10.
There are quite a few styles to choose from, including this Retrievers and Red Truck popcorn tin. This includes buttery, cheesy and caramel popcorn.
White Elephant Gifts
If you’ve ever been to a white elephant party, you know how funny they can be. Unfortunately, sometimes, it can be a little tricky to find good white elephant gifts.
You need to find something that’s humorous but that’s not offending and hopefully useful. Sounds difficult, doesn’t it? Well, Walmart has a bunch of white elephant gifts that would be perfect.Â
Candy
I’ll be the first to admit that I have quite a sweet tooth around the holidays. Between homemade Christmas cookies and chocolate to Reeses Christmas Tree, I enjoy it all.
Walmart is a great place to stock up on all your holiday candy needs because of its large selection. They even have a lot of dark chocolate options, which is my favorite.
Stocking Stuffers
Walmart is a great place to pick up stocking stuffers for the family. We’ve already mentioned the great selection of holiday candy that would be perfect for the stockings.
However, they also have a lot of other smaller gifts, like Bodycology Whipped Vanilla gift set for just $3. Another idea would be this UNO Show ‘Em No Mercy card game, which would be fun for the whole family.
