by Kate Brierley

With winter well on its way, the air is getting chillier, the days are getting shorter, and we’re spending more time indoors than we have all year. And that’s saying something, ‘cause we’ve all spent a lot of time indoors this year. (2020, am I right?)

The changing of the seasons is also a not-so-subtle reminder that it’s time to get a jump on holiday shopping, whether it’s the last thing on your mind or you’re the type who just can’t wait. In either case, think of it this way: The gifts your kids are excited to open during the holidays will end up being a gift to you in the long months ahead.

Whether your household will be combatting cabin fever, coping with winter blues, or if you simply need to keep your littles happily occupied, shopping for smile-inducing gifts can help you get ahead of the curve. To help you make the most of your holiday shopping, here are 10 presents from Walmart that the techie, the artist, the fashionista, and everyone in between will love all winter long.

1. An Interactive Version Of Their Favorite Queen

If they’re still not over "Frozen" and "Frozen 2," that's OK! Because now, they don’t have to be, thanks to this interactive Queen Elsa doll. All decked out in her most iconic look from the movie, she sings, moves, and offers her very own light show, delivering hours of magic and fun to mega-fans everywhere.

2. A Great Deal On That Hoverboard They've Been Wanting

Give them a new way to enjoy outdoor time when the weather allows with a souped-up hoverboard. A next-level alternative to bikes and scooters, this stylish way to ride moves up to six miles per hour and goes three miles' distance, allowing for exploration and adventure. Bonus points for a powerful LED headlight for added safety and a very cool aesthetic.

3. A Package Of Non-Stop Surprises

If they love to be surprised, this is the gift for them. It comes with 25 surprises to unbox, while including all the style and fun they’d expect from an L.O.L. Surprise! Fashion Doll. Plus, this Remix Lonestar edition also comes with songs and lyrics to keep them groovin’ while they play.

4. The Cutest Baby Yoda Bed Set

Honestly, is there anything cuter than Baby Yoda? The answer is no, and if your kids love him like ours do, they’ll flip for this galactic Baby Yoda comforter and sham set. Reversible and super soft, give them a good night’s sleep in true "Star Wars" style.

5. A Building Enthusiast's Dream Gift

This deluxe toolbox toy comes equipped with 34 toddler-friendly tools, light-up buttons with realistic tool sounds and music, and a working drill for hours of fix-it fun. It’s also educational, featuring project cards for them to “work on” while learning colors and numbers. It’s a guaranteed favorite for little builders everywhere.

6. A Super Sweet Smart Watch

JoJo Siwa is so big right now that she has her own kid-approved watch. Let them make it their own with 10 clock face options, three wallpapers, games, and a step counter to encourage activity. For an even more personal experience, there’s a built-in video and voice recorder that's bound to be their favorite feature of all.

Moveable and highly detailed, your "Masters of the Universe" fan will love the action-oriented fun of this Skeletor action figure.

9. An Updated Take On A Classic Lounge Chair

Every kid needs a bean bag chair, and this one is the most fun option. A handle makes it easy to bring with them wherever they’re lounging, and a super-soft and fluffy design conforms to their body for just the right amount of comfort. Plus, safety-locking zippers protect the chair and your floors.

10. And Of Course, A Coveted Cell Phone
