I was invited for a night of shopping with the lovely people at Walmart Canada. Of course I said yes, it was a night of shopping (hello!) and I knew I could knock off all my stocking stuffer Christmas Shopping.
I was at the Etobicoke Walmart location out by Sherway Gardens and as I walked in I knew that I wanted to hit up the candy section. Chocolate and small gifts work together to make a fun stocking.
I like to mix practical and playful when it comes to creating a great stocking. The mini bubble baths were a fun find. I also spent a ton of time in the kids sock section. My son has grown out of most of his baby socks and there was just too much selection when it came to fun socks for girls. I might have over done it on the socks and stockings. My favourite pair is the red glitter stockings that are going to be gifted before Christmas.
I was impressed to find doggie candy canes, how much fun are these? Plus they are something that doesn’t looks silly after Christmas as a dog won’t care if he is chewing a doggie candy cane rawhide in February. They did have little dress up outfits too if you are into that thing. I would have totally snapped up some Christmas themed cat treats had I seen some.
Another area of the store I had alot of fun browsing was the gift wrap, tag and bag section. Often I overspend on gift bags and end up at the Dollar Store wondering why I spent more than $1 on gift bags because they have such a cute selection. Add Walmart to that list. There were loads of sizes, lots of cute patterns. Glittery Santas were my favourites.
They also had these great Christmas-y letters. They are perfect for tagging gifts when you don’t want to have to write out another gift tag.
Totally not on my list were Christmas flannel sheets. Lots of fun selection and a number of styles are less festive enough to keep on the bed past Christmas for those of you who clean up anything and everything Christmasy on Boxing Day.
Above is the Walmart haul. It was a fun night to do some suburban style shopping that I don’t do on a regular basis.
Where are you getting your Stocking Stuffing done?
