If it's in your budget this holiday season, it's nice to splurge on luxe presents for close friends and family. But let's be honest: not everyone on your list can get a pair of AirPods or a Dyson. Luckily, Walmart's everyday low prices mean you can still get gifts that wow ... without wiping out your savings account.

Whether you're shopping for your parent, BFF or partner, the key to getting a great present is the same: Look for something high-quality and practical, but still fun and a little nicer or more indulgent than what people are likely to buy for themselves. Need some inspo? Keep scrolling for items from Walmart that fit that simple framework perfectly.

This mini Keurig has all the features of a classic machine in a streamlined size that'll fit in any kitchen. And really, is there any better gift than reduced morning stress, the ability to sleep in a few extra minutes, and steaming hot coffee? Choose from festive red, white, black and more.

For a thoughtful and truly beautiful gift, look no further than the Crosley record player. It comes in eight vibrant colors with a cool design that folds into a portable suitcase.

If calling this a life-changing water bottle sounds like hyperbole, it's only because you've never had the great fortune of being gifted a life-changing water bottle yourself. The Owala FreeSip is known as one of the best tumblers on the market and for good reason. Its two-way straw lets you easily sip or swig, the triple-layer insulation keeps liquids cold for 24 hours, there's absolutely zero risk of leakage, and the top easily opens and closes with a simple button push. Perfection!

The best kind of holiday gift is one that can be ripped open and immediately enjoyed, like this Harry Potter-themed interpretation of Monopoly.
