Wicked Part 1 Toys at Walmart

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every year, toy companies like to release their best toys around Christmas time. This is also the time when movies with a target audience for children and families are released, as well as toys tied in with the film.

This year, I saw a lot of merchandise for Wicked Part 1. It was released in theaters in November 2024. Before the movie was released, the tie in toys were released.

At my local Walmart, these toys were released and some sold out quickly. Others were probably delayed and showed up after Black Friday. I enjoyed looking at the toys, so here are some of the highlights of the Wicked Part 1 toys.

Favorite Walmart Christmas Ornaments for 2024

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every holiday season, I enjoy looking at the new ornaments. I do this partly because I enjoy looking at the new ornaments, the new holiday trends, and any potential replacements for my old ornaments if I need them.

This year, I found many pretty and cute ornaments at Walmart. I don’t always find nice ornaments at Walmart, but this year I found many! They include vintage inspired ornaments and glass ball ornaments.

Walmart’s The Nightmare Before Christmas 2024 Holiday Decor

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For 2024, Walmart had a lot of holiday decor that was popular. Unfortunately, my Walmart, which is a smaller sized store, didn’t get very many decor that was popular. Instead, there were popular decor that was popular in the area where I live. One of those decorations was inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The Nightmare Before Christmas and many Tim Burton directed films and TV shows are popular in my area. So is the merchandise inspired by them. This is why I wasn’t surprised when most of The Nightmare Before Christmas themed decorations sold out. There was a restock around late October, so there were items still for sale in December. Still, The Nightmare Before Christmas and items relating to it still remains to be very popular.

I was able to see the decorations in store before they began to sell out. Even though I do not share my area’s fandom for The Nightmare Before Christmas, I did find some items in the collection really cute.

Michael’s 2024 Sprinkle Shop Christmas Decor

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

This holiday season there have been many viral Christmas decorating trends. One of the trends I saw online was using decor from Michael’s stores.

This year, Michael’s had four themes for holiday decor. They are Sprinkle Shop, Gala, Holiday Pines, and Night Before Christmas. At my closest Michael’s, they had three of the four decoration themes. The only one that was missing was Holiday Pines. (I just wanted to mention I’m sad I didn’t get to see Holiday Pines in store! It had some pieces I was interested in browsing and potentially buying!) After browsing the collections multiple times during the holiday season, I realized I have my favorite themes. The theme I didn’t like out of all the collections was Sprinkle Shop.

Walmart’s Stitch Holiday Decor 2024

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In a previous post, I talked about Walmart’s The Grinch holiday decorations. Along with The Grinch, the Walmart I normally shop at also had decorations inspired by two other popular animated movies. The one I liked a lot was the Stitch decor.

I like Disney’s Lilo and Stitch, but it isn’t my favorite Disney movie of all time. Still, I sometimes like to browse Stitch themed items just to see how they look. This year’s holiday decor was cute and I even found some decorations I seriously considered to purchase! (I decided not to due to reasons unrelated to if I like Stitch or not. One of the reasons is if I felt comfortable purchasing more holiday decor this year or not.)

Book Review: A Royal Christmas Wish by Lizzie Shane

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A few years ago, I read A Royal Christmas Wish from Hallmark Publishing. At that time, there were many things happening so it took me a while to finish the book. Years later, I rediscovered the book and decided to reread it in order to see if I would like it more a second time. Last year, I reread it for Christmas but didn’t get to finish it until after Christmas ended. This year, I decided to finally publish the review post I wrote about it!

I was able to purchase all my ornaments either on sale or for a really good price. One of the ornaments I was able to purchase is an Amazon.com exclusive little snowflake ornament.

Walmart’s The Grinch Holiday 2024 Decor

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

For the past few years, the Walmart I normally shop at has sold Christmas decor inspired by three different popular movies and TV shows. They are The Grinch from Doctor Susses’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Sometimes other popular movies and TV show inspired holiday decor is sold, but those are the three core movies and TV shows found at my Walmart.

The decor is different than what is normally sold in the Christmas section, so I really enjoy browsing it. This year, it seemed there were equal amounts of decor for each of the movies. I know many people enjoy read about my favorite Christmas decorations for the year, so I decided to do this for each of the movies. I decided to start with The Grinch because he is a Christmas movie while Stitch and The Nightmare Before Christmas are characters and movies that will work other times of the year.

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Ever since I was a girl, I enjoyed reading Christmas books. Even if it wasn’t Christmas time, I still would like to read them! As an adult, I still enjoy reading Christmas themed children’s books. Even though my collection is not very large, I still enjoy reading them!

For this year’s Blogmas, I decided to write some more reviews on some of my Christmas children’s books. I decided to start with one of my newest additions to my book collection: Santa Stops at Disneyland!

Walmart 2024 Christmas Decor

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

This year, Walmart had some Christmas decor I really like. This year, I am more selective of what holiday decor I purchase. This decision was spurred by multiple decisions, one of them is due to inflation. Even though I’m selective of my purchases this year, I needed to replace several Christmas decorations in my collection. Since I liked the decorations at Walmart, I decided to purchase a few of the things I show in this post!
