The holiday season is just around the corner, and Walmart is getting ready for their busiest time of year. They have compiled a list of 25 toys that they think will be the most desirable toys among children ages 18 months to 12 years old. The list includes toys related to well-known franchises, such as; Disney, Star Wars, Barbie, or the film Frozen, all the way to smaller items, such as; Fingerlings, Num Noms Nail Polish Maker, or Hatchimals.
Walmart stores have just begun their traditional holiday layaway plan, which allows shoppers the ability to pay off their orders of $50, or more, over a period of time. Initially, the shopper must pay $10 or 10% of their items’ value, then they have until December 11 to pay off the final amount. Vice president of the Walmart toy division, Anne Marie Kehoe, states that, “We know many of our customers use it for a number of reasons, whether it’s to stay on a budget or to buy now and avoid the holiday rush”. Walmart’s layaway plan is a great resource for many Walmart shoppers.
This holiday season is expected to be a fruitful one for mega-retailer, Walmart. According to GlobalData, a company that researches retail trends, holiday spending could reach the $279.1 billion dollar range this year, which would be an increase from the 2016 rate of $270.1 billion statistic.
Parents and grandparents throughout the country are expected to hit the stores soon, as they search for the best holiday toys for the little ones in their lives. Walmart plans to be ready, as they stock their shelves with the latest and greatest toys available this year. Their goal is to keep their shelves full throughout Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and the days leading up to the Christmas holiday.
