Real talk: When it comes to your holiday shopping list, there’s a sliding scale ranging between family (and friends that may as well be) to less intimate, but still meaningful and helpful presences in your life (your fave professor from college, your mahjong teacher, you get it).
You’d think that shopping for your closest people would be a breeze, but turns out, landing on something that feels irreplaceable and totally personal is a lot harder than grabbing a nice-but-generic candle or coffee gift card. But there’s an easy solve for your angst this year: Sonos speakers are *the* functional and splurge-worthy gifts your A team will use for years to come, and right now the splurge is made easier thanks to Walmart’s *major* sale.
Save up to $200 on Sonos speakers, headphones, and more and permanently upgrade the living room dance parties, cozy movie nights, park hangouts, and heart-pumping workouts in their (and your) future. Sounds like a holiday-gifting mic drop.
