What we like: Our budget pick for the best artificial Christmas tree has 700 UL-listed warm-white incandescent lights—not LEDs— and 1,319 branch tips. Looks especially good once fluffed. Ornaments stand out better than on densely foliaged trees. Sturdily built.
Other things to know: You have to manually plug the light strings together, a fussier method than with the in-pole connections we favor. Finding the plugs among the foliage is a bit challenging.
Read our review of the best artificial Christmas tree. Roborock Q5 Robot Vacuum — Also Great Walmart deal price: $260; street price: $430
What we like: A super-smart robot vacuum pick with better mapping, easier app navigation, a longer battery life, and more reliable voice commands through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant than our top pick. Excels on low- and medium-pile carpet and hard floors.

Read our review of the best electric toothbrush.
Eufy Robovac Max 11S Robot Vacuum — Budget Pick Walmart deal price: $130; street price: $190
What we like: One of our budget robot vacuum picks. Quiet, nimble, and affordable. Works best in small spaces with bare floors and short-pile rugs. Rarely gets stuck. A basic, bump-and-run bot.
Other things to know: The big downside is that it doesn’t seem to be built to last for more than a couple of years on average, and we’ve heard about plenty of unrepairable breakdowns that happen even sooner. Struggles with debris in rugs, especially softer, thicker types. Clip the on-page coupon.
Read our review of the best robot vacuums.
Google Nest Cam Security Camera (battery) — Another Good Option Walmart deal price: $120; street price: $170
What we like: A solid outdoor security camera that provides 24/7 cloud recording when plugged into an outlet with the optional weatherproof cable (sold separately).

Read our review of the best outdoor security camera.
SwitchBot Curtain 3 Smart Curtain Opener — Top Pick Walmart deal price: $63; street price: $90

Other things to know: Overall it’s less powerful, feature-packed, and easy-to-use than our top pick. Street price has risen in the past year. Only available in the chrome finish.
Read our review of the best hand mixer.
Braun MultiQuick 7 Hand Blender MQ7035 — Also Great Walmart deal price: $75; street price: $100

KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper — Another Good Option Walmart deal price: $35; street price: $50 (with store pickup)
What we like: Another good option in our food processor guide, this compact chopper is ideal for preparing herbs. Push button-activated handled jar makes for convenient operation.

Sony PlayStation 5 and Spider-Man 2 Game Bundle — Our Pick Walmart deal price: $500; street price: $570
What we like: Our PlayStation game console pick, plus the new Spider-Man 2 game, which we loved in our recent review. Has a disc drive, so you can watch UHD Blu-ray movies as well as play new or used PS5 and PS4 game discs.
Other things to know: PlayStation 5 consoles are often bundled with extraneous accessories that are rarely worth the combined price. However, this is a rare exception where we recommend the game included, and we haven’t seen a deal on it yet.
Read our review of the best game consoles.
Asus ROG Strix XG349C Monitor (34-inch) — Also Great Walmart deal price: $700; street price: $780
What we like: Our ultrawide monitor pick for gaming. High refresh rate and deeply curved, ultrawide screen for a more immersive feel. Good color accuracy, a solid stand, and a refresh rate that can reach 180 Hz. Convenient USB hub.
Other things to know: Monitor’s USB-C port doesn’t supply enough power to charge most laptops. Curved screen not ideal for photo or design work.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land (Nintendo Switch, Digital Code) — Staff Favorite Walmart deal price: $39; street price: $60

Final Fantasy XVI (PS5) — Staff Favorite Walmart deal price: $35; street price: $60
What we like: A staff-favorite video game that’s unfortunately exclusive to the PS5. A departure from the typical scenes and settings of traditional Final Fantasy games, Square Enix’s newest addition to the series is darker, more emotional, and more like Game of Thrones than you might expect. Voice acting and performances are a notable high point.
Other things to know: Gameplay is more active (for better or for worse) than the traditional turn-based style of older Final Fantasy games (if you enjoyed FFXV’s action-oriented combat, you’ll likely be fine with this). Walmart requires store pickup.
Read our review of the best video games Wirecutter is playing.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (PS5 & Xbox) — Staff Favorite Walmart deal price: $30; street price: $65

What we like: Our adult Lego set pick will surely be the Seventh Wonder of your collection. Pyramid’s shell can be removed to reveal the method by which many archaeologists believe the pyramids were built. Easy to place against a wall.
Other things to know: Set creates half a pyramid. Lego suggests buying a second set to create a full pyramid. Includes 1,476 bricks. Not to scale. For ages 18 and up.
Read our review of the best Lego sets for adults.
Lego Classic Medium Creative Brick Box — Our Pick Walmart deal price: $21; street price: $27
What we like: Our pick for a bulk brick Lego starter set. This 484-piece set comes with a large variety of shapes in 35 colors, all housed in a distinctive Lego-shaped yellow box. A time-tested choice that offers instructions for a few basic projects, and endless possibilities for more.
Other things to know: The plastic tote container has room for more as your collection grows. However, the lid doesn't latch, which could lead to spills. Recommended for ages four and up.
Read our review of the best Lego sets for kids.

Read our review of the best electronics kits for kids and beginners.
Graco SnugRide SnugFit 35 Elite Infant Car Seat — Another Good Option Walmart deal price: $189; street price: $250
What we like: An upgraded version of our top pick for the best infant car seat. Simple to install with the base. High-end feel. Same padding as our top pick, plus fancier-looking fabric. Removable all-weather boot provides a little extra warmth.
Other things to know: Currently priced lower than our top pick. Seat-belt-only install is tricky without the base. Not as compatible with as many stroller brands as our other picks. Available from Amazon and Walmart with delayed shipping.
Read our review of the best infant car seats.
Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 E-Mount Prime Lens — Our Pick Walmart deal price: $198; street price: $248

Aura Mason Digital Photo Frame — Also Great 🥈Second Retailer - Walmart deal price: $169; street price: $200
What we like: Our favorite digital frame for vertical (aka portrait) photos. Also works for horizontal (aka landscape) orientation, but not quite as well as our top pick. Vivid 9-inch display with 4:5 aspect ratio.
Other things to know: Former long-time top pick and still one of our favorites. Tends to have more cropping issues than our top pick, but fixable in app. Rarely goes on sale, select colors available.

Cricut Explore 3 Electronic Cutting Machine — Top Pick Walmart deal price: $250; street price: $300
What we like: The top pick in our guide to the best cutting machines. Intuitive and easy-to-use software make it great for beginners. Large image and project library, smooth cutting, and strong community support.

Read our review of the best electronic cutting machines from Cricut and Silhouette. Shokz OpenRun Headphones — Our Pick Walmart deal price: $90; street price: $130

23andMe DNA Testing Kit — Runner-Up Walmart deal price: $100; street price: $160
What we like: Our runner-up DNA testing kit pick. Just as accurate as our top pick, with a more polished interface. Differentiates maternal and paternal lineages (not all do). Kit includes add-on health package that identifies potential health indicators in your DNA.
Other things to know: Smaller DNA database than that of our top pick. We didn’t evaluate the add-on biomedical testing. Notable privacy concerns. Among all DNA testing services, legal guidelines are limited—meaning it’s impossible to guarantee who will be able to use your information in the future.
Read our review of the best DNA testing kit.
JBL PartyBox 110 Bluetooth Speaker — Another Good Option Walmart deal price: $250; street price: $350
