New and notable Walmart finds seen on TODAY
Hearth & Harbor Wrapping Paper Storage Container
Gift wrapping would be so much easier if all of your supplies were in one place, right? Well, now they can be with Post’s clever storage solution. There’s a compartment for everything — scissors, tape, bag, tags, bows and even a special ribbon dispenser box — while being narrow enough to slide under the bed while not in use. Of course, it protects your wrapping paper from being smushed, and senior editor Francesca Cocchi Zabloudil can vouch for this. “Wrapping paper rolls specifically are just such an odd shape so it’s super helpful to have an organizer designed to fit them,” she says. “I love how it keeps everything gifting-related tidy and out of sight!”
Holiday Time 6.5 Ft. Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree
It’s never too early to be on the lookout for affordable holiday decor, and this life-size artificial Christmas tree fits the bill. All three colors — classic green, chic white or trendy back — feature 600 full branch tips and 250 color-changing lights. No clean-up or drama untangling those cords either! The brand says the lights will stay lit even if one bulb burns out. Post was shocked to see the price since normally deals this good don’t pop up until January, but our find (stand included) is all yours for under 40 bucks.
Better Homes & Gardens Juliet Arc Door Bar Cabinet
Just in time for holiday entertaining, we have a bar cabinet from Better Homes & Gardens. The entire collection is full of gorgeous and affordable furniture, but Post loves the storage this new piece offers. It features wine glass holders, racks for bottles and adjustable shelving depending on your needs. Not to mention, the details — like beautiful arched glass doors and slow-close European hinges — are sure to elevate any room in your home.
Jessica Simpson Courtney Faux Leather Handbag
Jessica Simpson is extending her Walmart-exclusive line into handbags for the first time ever, and you bet they’re perfect for fall. Post was drawn to this 2000s-inspired purse now that the baguette shape is back in style. Plus, with moto hardware details and high-quality faux-leather, what’s not to love?
Jessica Simpson Sadie Faux Leather Handbag
Large but lightweight, Post says this tote will fit everything. It also comes in black and faux-snake to match any outfit and, according to the brand, was inspired by Simpson’s very own archive of bags.
Jessica Simpson Courtney Satchel Handbag
According to Post, this satchel-style bag gives off a very high-end designer vibe — without the high-end designer price. With all of the zippers, buckles and studs, it’s hard to believe it’s just $34.
The Hair Lab Revitalizing Shampoo
Customizable beauty is so big right now, and Post discovered a new product that is right on trend. The Hair Lab by Strands is a Walmart-exclusive hair care brand that lets you create a routine based on your unique needs. First, you start with a base shampoo — here we have the revitalizing shampoo that's best for balanced scalps, but there's also a clarifying shampoo for oily scalps. Next, you add a "dose" directly to the bottle to address specific concerns like breakage prevention, hydration, curl definition and more.
The Hair Lab Well-Balanced Conditioner
Complete your routine with conditioner — here we have well-balanced conditioner for medium-textured hair, but there's also a deep conditioner for coarse hair. These bottles can be customized the same way as the shampoo to supercharge your results.
The Hair Lab Anti-Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner Dose Set
Say you have a balanced scalp with frizzy strands — you would then add this "dose" to each bottle to create your own formula. The anti-frizz set is packed with rice protein to smooth hair and protect against humidity, but there are truly endless combinations. Add up to three "doses" per bottle, with options including:
- The Hair Lab Color Protect Dose Set, $6.30
- The Hair Lab Anti-Breakage Dose Set, $2.94
- The Hair Lab Curl Define Dose Set, $2.94
- The Hair Lab Volume Boost Dose Set, $2.94
Bass Creek Outfitters Men's Workwear Vest
Functional and fashionable, workwear fabric is really having a moment. Post loves that this pick has a canvas shell for style and a sherpa lining for warmth. Its water-repellent finish provides high-performance protection from wind, rain and snow when worn over a shirt or sweatshirt. Plus, guys will dig all the pockets.
Scoop Faux Suede Zip Vest
Of course Post found a vest for the ladies, too! Cozy up with this zip-up option from fan-favorite Walmart brand Scoop. She loves the feel of this faux-shearling lining, noting that you'll be seeing this trend everywhere this fall — if you haven't spotted it already.
