Toddlers can be one of the most challenging ages to shop for. Between ever-changing interests and shorter attention spans, it’s hard to pinpoint gifts that will get used. This is certainly true with my daughter, Evie. She loves various shows and characters and has a hobby list a mile long. I love this spontaneity about her, but I find shopping for toys challenging.

Like many toddlers, she’s still learning her likes and discovering new favorites every day. One thing that many of us parents forget about is how many everyday things can be both exciting and practical. This is where my useful items can become great gifts! Walmart’s wide variety of affordable products makes shopping a breeze. Combine that with time-saving services like same-day delivery or store pick-up, and you’ve got a winning combination.

How to Save Time Shopping for Last minute Gifts

A handful of gifts are always bound to be pushed to the final few days before Christmas. I typically buy small snacks or candy for stockings the last week before the holiday. Walmart’s same-day delivery and in-stock pick-up options are perfect for saving time and beating the crowds.

We utilize Walmart+ and find ourselves placing same-day delivery orders for more than just gifts, especially this time of year! In addition, Walmart’s grocery assortment and party supplies are great for last-minute hosting needs, especially this time of year.
