A few months ago I got to attend a fun even hosted by Walmart called the “Chosen by You Expo“.  I got a sneak peek at toys, electronics, clothing, and all kinds of gifts that will be available this season in Walmart.  I felt like a kid visiting Willy Wonka with all the toys around and I saw a ton of toys I know Connor is going to love too!  I’m going to share with you some of my favorites from the event and give you a head start on what’s HOT this holiday season.

Lets start with the toys:

As you can see Elsa is back in a big way!  Everything Frozen…I think back to when my sister and I were around this age.  We would have just died over this Disney Frozen Elsa Castle.  With the press of a button on top of the castle the icicle chandelier spirals down.  The castles also grows taller by the crank on the bottom.   Don’t forget Sing-A-Long Elsa Too!

Then there is the Disney Doc McStuffins Pet Vet Checkup Center.  Connor loves this show and this is so cute. I can see lots of future veterinarians in our future.  For toys that is 🙂

Of course no clinic would be complete without a Cuddles & Hugs Talking Lambie.

Now, this my dear friends in ON MY LIST.  Connor is obsessed with Legos right now. This 3DIT Character Creator Molding Machine lets you create your own custom figures.  Mold them, choose stickers, and design.

If you have a little girl and she gets scared in the dark this Minnie is so cute!  She lights up in all different colors.  Press the heart on Minnie’s hand again to lock the design and hear Minnie sing the hit song, “True Colors.”

Game night sure will be fun with Pie Face!

The ULTIMATE Hot Wheels Garage

Bake your very own Girl Scout cookies in this Girl Scouts Cookie Oven.  I tried one of the Thin Mints and it was delish!

Here are some other toys we got to take a peek at:

Now lets move on to co-workers and friends.  What do you give someone in your life who you see every day and want to let them know you care this holiday?  Here are some ideas for you that won’t break the bank.  All items are available at Walmart stores nationwide.

Ahem…Coffee lovers unite!  This Starbucks cocoa gift set is perfect for friends and family!

For the guy who likes to grill.  This Jim Beam set is packed and ready to go with everything needed for a yummy BBQ.

These “Movie Night For 2” packages are sooooo cute!  Everything ready to watch your favorite flick with some popcorn and candy.

Chocolate…yes please!  Ghirardelli gift sets are so yummy and good stocking stuffers too.The “techie” in your life needs things too right?  I have a few of those in my family.  Here are some great gift ideas for the gamers and the guys who just can’t deal with losing their remote.

Meet the gaming chair.  I’m pretty sure my husband would never leave the house if he had something like this…but he would love me forever.  Ha! Now you can not only hear your music but actually feel it. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie or playing a game.
Input and output jacks allow connection to your audio source and to other X Rockers for multi-player games. Wireless receiver is built-in; includes wireless transmitter to send audio from any source with headset.

Terence and I both jumped on the Fitbit train about 6 months ago and we love them.  They keep us accountable during the day and we compete against each other to see who can get the most steps in each day.  Come New Years Eve you’ll be wanting this gadget to help you reach your fitness goals 🙂

I love Nikon.  I shoot with Nikon.  And this is a great camera at an even greater price.  It’s brand new and perfect to capture those every day moments, or if you are ready to dabble in photography.   Let’s talk fashion now ladies.  I mean I want to look great, you want to look great.  Let’s all look fabulous mmmmkay?  Here are some fun looks for everyone in the family.

Character jammies for the boys

Super hero shirts for the guys

Love this wallet and it comes in so many colors and designs.  It’s only $6.97 too!

I can’t imagine ever needing a makeup brush again.  This makeup brush kit is an awesome stocking stuffer for teenage girls.  It’s pink and has 24 pieces in an easy roll-up design.

Holiday leggings!  I would totally wear these…and dress my entire family to match.  Just sayin.

Flannels are hot right now.  So many different shirts and only so many days of the week…sigh.

Everyone needs an adult Minion onesie right???

This sweater is SO soft!  I couldn’t stop touching it.  #cozy

Aaaaand last on my favorites list is this Coca Cola Mini Can Fridge.  So cute and perfect for a game room, college dorm, or just because. 

I hope this helps you out.  If you’re like me & you run around like a chicken with your head cut off looking for things to buy at Christmas.  Well, not this year.  That is not going to be me.

So tell me…

What’s on your favorites list this for this season?
