The Best Walmart Tech Gifts, at a Glance:
We’ve found gift ideas for everyone — except your impossible-to-shop-for dad, just get him a gift certificate.
Gadgets
GoPro
Hero action camera
If you aren’t jumping off cliffs, you might not need the GoPro Hero 13 Black, but that’s not the only new GoPro camera. This year, the company also introduced its smallest ever 4K action camera. It’s an adorably tiny and overpowered camera simply called — Hero.
Therabody
Theragun Relief 3-Speed Handheld Massage Gun
You’re going to hear this a lot in this gift guide, but if you want the best price on this product, head to Walmart. Now that the massage gun craze has simmered down, you can score massagers from premium brands like Therabody at more giftable prices.
Apple
M1 MacBook Air
The legendary M1 MacBook Air is no longer available at Amazon, but you can still find it at Walmart—and for under $650. This laptop won best-of laptop awards for four years in a row, and it introduced the world to Apple’s M series chips.
Acer
Chromebook 315, 15.6″
Asus
Chromebook Plus CX34 14
Need a Chromebook that can do more than browse and stream? Try this AI-powered Chromebook Plus from Asus. It has a spacious keyboard and gets you access to Google’s AI assistant, Gemini. It’s powerful for a Chromebook, but a lot cheaper than a laptop.
Beats
Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones
For the lowest price on the previous-gen (but still worthy) Solo3, head to Walmart for a Black Friday-like discount. Under the hood, these on-ear cans pack an Apple chip and 40 hours of battery life.
Sony
WH-CH720N-Noise Canceling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones
You can get active noise-cancelling headphones without breaking the $100 limit when these Sony headphones go on sale at Walmart. They lack the style and durability of $400 headphones, but you can’t have everything.
Sony
In-Ear Headphones with Microphone
For kids who don’t want to finangle with Bluetooth settings, too-cool teens, and anyone prone to losing earbuds, go for these trend-setting wired buds from Sony.
Gaming
Sony
PlayStation 5 Pro Console (PS5 Pro)
The yet-to-be-released PS5 Pro offers a graphics boost that will be appreciated by anyone that likes to play on a big-screen TV. If you want the lowest price on the PS5 Pro (coming November 7), you’ll have to head to Walmart. It’s available for pre-order now, and the original everything store has the ‘Zon beat, if only by $0.99.
Sony
PlayStation 5 Digital Console Slim
When the PS5 is sold out at other stores, don’t forget to check Walmart. The slimmed-down version of the coveted PS5 is in stock at Walmart—for now.
Nintendo
Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle
We couldn’t find the Mario Kart edition of the Nintendo Switch OLED in stock at Amazon as of this writing, which means you’ll want to order yours at Walmart before the holiday shopping rush clears out the digital shelves.
Nintendo
Nintendo Switch Console with Red and Blue Joy-Con
Sony
PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller
Need another controller for your PS5? Or maybe you’re planning ahead for the release of the PS5 Pro? Either way, you’ll find a lower price at Walmart.
EA Sports
Madden NFL 25 – PlayStation 5
The classic football game is back, and there’s gotta be someone on your shopping list who has this on their wishlist.
Gifts for Kids & Teens
Razer
Black Label E90 Electric Scooter
Can you imagine how much you would have loved an electric scooter as a kid? And how many times you would have crashed it? Just think, every second they spend on their new scooter is another second they’re not staring at a screen inside.
Warner Bros.
The LEGO Movie Collection on DVD
Yes, DVDs are still around, and as the streaming world gets over-saturated, we’re really starting to miss them. Get your kids all four LEGO movies for the price of an iced latte.
Toniebox
Toniebox Audio Player Bundle with Marvel’s Spidey & His Amazing Friends
Good luck finding this Toniebox, which comes with figurines and stories inspired by the popular children’s cartoon, at the other everything store. Kids love these adorable storytelling boxes, which provide screen-free fun and don’t require adult supervision.
Fujifilm
Instax Mini SE Instant Camera
Home & Kitchen
Ninja
4-Quart Air Fryer
The 4-quart Ninja air fryer on Amazon costs as much as $130, which makes this a pretty sweet deal. Sorry, Walmart, but you can’t make us say rollback.
KitchenAid
Deluxe 4.5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer
Whether you go for the classic cherry red or the minty 50s pastiche pistachio, this is an iconic addition to the kitchen.
Dreo
Indoor Space Heater, 1500W
You can sometimes catch this portable indoor space heater on sale for as little as $34, but regardless of the price, we think it’s a pretty sweet gift for the right person. For anyone that’s every complained about how cold their office is, it’s a practical gift they’ll thank you for all winter long.
Dyson
HP07 Purifier Hot + Cool Fan
It’s a heater, it’s a fan, it’s an air purifier, it’s a smart air monitor. Do you need more reasons to add to cart? Well, it’s also on sale, but only at Walmart. Target, Dyson, and Best Buy shoppers all have to pay full price.
Dyson
V7 Advanced Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
This isn’t the newest Dyson stick vac, but it is the most affordable. And even a “budget” Dyson still makes your old vacuum look pathetic in comparison. Normally, we wouldn’t recommend giving a vacuum as a gift (it could be taken the wrong way), but Dyson is the exception to the rule.
Dyson
V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Sure, the V7 can handle dust, but it lacks Dyson’s signature laser technology, which illuminates hidden dust and gamifies the cleaning process. If you’re going for a Dyson, go for a Dyson.
Keurig
K-Duo Essentials
This Keurig doesn’t just do single-serve. It also comes with a drip coffee maker and carafe. Plus, you won’t find it at other retailers.
TVs
Roku
50-Inch Select Series 4K HDR Smart TV
If you’re happy with your Roku streaming stick but ready for an upgrade, then why not opt for a Roku smart TV? Fifty inches is a good size if you want a TV that won’t absolutely dominate your living room.
Hisense
65″ Class S7N CanvasTV Series 4K Smart TV
Hisense
58″ Class 4K UHD LED Roku Smart TV
Once known for its epic TV doorbuster deals, Walmart now hosts deals on budget TVs for months ahead of Black Friday. This goldilocks-size smart TV comes powered by the Roku OS, so you can finally stop using ye olde streaming device.
Vizio
65″ Class 4K UHD LED HDR Smart TV
We think 65 inches is the perfect size for your primary TV, and against all odds, these behemoths are getting cheaper year after year (even as they get smarter and thinner). This one comes with Vizio’s own smart TV system, and you can control your favorite apps from the voice remote or your smartphone, whichever’s closer.
TCL
55″ Q Class 4K UHD HDR QLED Smart TV
If you don’t want to go too budget on your new TV, then take a step up to QLED displays. If you can live with 55 inches, which would still dwarf the TVs you grew up with, this smart TV has a crisp display and built-in Google TV for easy streaming.
