Simple Modern 30-Ounce Tumbler
- Price: $19.98
A good water bottle can make staying hydrated feel effortless — and even make water taste better. If drinking more water is one of your resolutions, the Simple Modern tumbler is a must-have. Currently on sale for $19.98, this insulated stainless steel tumbler keeps beverages cold for hours.
“This brand makes high-quality water bottles,” said Tami Smith, co-founder of A Couple Consumers. “They keep your drinks cold and feature a secure straw design that minimizes any leakage around the lid. This product makes the list because everyone should have a giant water bottle with them to remind them to get their water in!”
Inspired Essentials 5-Quart Plastic Storage Bins
- Price: $19.99
Are there spots in your home that stress you out just by looking at them? Start the year fresh by tackling clutter and eliminating junk with the Inspired Essentials 5-quart plastic storage bins. For $19.99, you’ll get 20 bins, with secure lids, stackable designs and a clear finish that makes finding items a breeze.
“Start the new year off fresh by buying Inspired Essentials 5-quart plastic storage bins from Walmart for $19.99 and organize your closets and cabinets,” said Destiny Chatman, consumer expert at TopCashback.
CAP 5-Pound Dumbbell
- Price: $8.97 (per dumbbell)
Kick-start your fitness goals with the CAP 5-pound dumbbell from Walmart. While gym memberships can be pricey, a pair of these high-quality dumbbells costs less than $20, making at-home workouts more accessible than ever.
“These dumbbells are high-quality, cute and perfect for at-home workouts,” Smith said. “You can stash these in your living room, bedroom, etc., so when you’re ready to queue up a workout, you have your equipment ready to go. I can’t express enough the importance of having at least the bare minimum of fitness equipment at home so you don’t have any excuse for not moving.”
Hotel Style Oversized Plush Blanket
- Price: $15.00
Up your cozy game with the Hotel Style oversized plush blanket. This full/queen blanket delivers luxurious softness and insulating warmth for just $15 — a bargain compared with similar products from competitors.
“During the cold winter months, there’s nothing better than curling up with a warm, cozy blanket!” Smith said. “I love this one because it’s oversized, so no dealing with trying to squeeze yourself under a too-small blanket. Toss this on the couch for quick access to cozy warmth.”
Paris Hilton Ceramic Jumbo Cooker
- Price: $12.97
Swap out boring black cookware for the chic and functional Paris Hilton ceramic jumbo cooker.
“This pan is not only beautiful, but it has great reviews and is the ideal size for one-pot family meals at home, helping you save money!” Smith said.
This 4-quart nonstick jumbo cooker features a white iridescent finish, a diamond-pattered design and a heart-shaped gold knob to add a glamorous touch to your kitchen. It’s currently on sale for just $12.97, so now is the perfect time to elevate your home cooking for the new year.
Hoey Portable LED Party Bluetooth Speaker
- Price: $15.89
Turn up the fun with the portable LED party Bluetooth speaker. Normally priced at $69.99, this sleek speaker is a steal at $15.89. Don’t miss out if you love keeping the tunes flowing.
“From amplifying your home workout experience to enjoying some fun tunes with the family, having a Bluetooth speaker is super handy as the sound quality is so much better than just streaming from your phone speaker,” Smith said. “Plus, it’s portable, so you can take it with you on the go and use it anywhere.”
Veatool Bluetooth Headphones
- Price: $17.99
Stick to your New Year’s fitness goals with the ultimate workout companion: the Veatool Bluetooth headphones. These headphones boast 65 hours of battery life and have a wireless charging case and waterproof in-ear buds — all for just $17.99.
“Everyone needs a reliable pair of Bluetooth headphones,” Smith said. “These are perfect for wearing while working out, walking, chatting on the phone, etc. At this price point, grabbing a pair of these is a no-brainer!”
Roku Smart Home Indoor Camera
- Price: $19.88
Sometimes the new year calls for practical changes — like enhancing home security. For added peace of mind in 2025, consider the Roku smart home indoor camera, now on sale for $19.88 at Walmart.
This compact, wireless camera offers high-definition video, customizable detection modes, two-way audio and color night vision, according to Chatman. Just attach it to a ceiling or wall mount, and you can control it remotely. Its compact size does the job without taking up too much space.
