Every year brings a new crop of ideas for Thanksgiving. In 2016, there are some terrific Thanksgiving t-shirts for people to buy & wear so they can make the holiday just a little bit funnier for those they celebrate with.
Obviously, you can try and find the perfect t-shirt on your own, but you got us for that, choosing the best, funniest & cutest Thanksgiving shirts for that special holiday touch:
I’m not sure the turkey should be that happy about becoming dinner on Thanksgiving, but I don’t really know what goes on in a bird’s head. This shirt is available in 4 different colors, for men, women and kids.
Pregnancy shirts are the trendy thing during Thanksgiving, and this is a nice, cute way of letting everyone now you’re expecting.
Whether you’re dropping the news on the family with the shirt, or simply proud of being pregnant, this is a hilarious way of letting the world know and keeping up with the Thanksgiving spirit.
Not sure if this is a pregnancy shirt or a post-pregnancy one. Either way, it’s cute.
This onesie is so cute, you’ll probably be dressing your baby with it to more than just the first Thanksgiving, until he/she outgrows it.
Disney’s ‘Moana’ is going to be the big cinema hit of Thanksgiving (and maybe the year, who knows), so it’s always smart to stay ahead of the trend and get a Moana Thanksgiving t-shirt.
Maybe the best Thanksgiving tradition is watching a football game before (or during) dinner. For some people, that’s the main event of the day, so it would be wise to dress accordingly.
To some, Thanksgiving is all about the food. Those are the people who should be wearing a ‘turkey time’ t-shirt.
I don’t know what it is, but there’s something captivating about this turkey, all dressed up for the first ever Thanksgiving dinner.
Remember, pumpkins aren’t just for Halloween. They’re even cuter in Thanksgiving, and a lot less spooky too.
Sometimes simply saying thank you to whoever you need is the best way to celebrate this holiday via T-shirt.
The most popular phrasing once the Thanksgiving dinner is over? Still, ‘I’m stuffed’. You can wear this shirt right from the start, but it’s even more clever to go change once dinner is over. Maybe tell your guests it’s time to leave. A shirt can be a handy thing like that.
Christmas is coming and getting gifts for the geeks in your life can be complicated. Luckily, you can never go wrong with a few cool action figures.Christmas is the one time of the year when we get to ask and give things to the members of our family that they really like, but sometimes it can be hard landing the right present. The Walyou team is aware of that, so we have compiled some of the best action figures you can purchase right now, which are some amazing geeky toys for people of all ages. From action figures for grown ups to gifts for kids, here are some ideas so you can have an easier holiday season.
With the release of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, now is the perfect time to get back into Star Wars collectibles. Out of the many, many official sets, our favorite right now has to be the Playskool Heroes Star Wars Millennium Falcon and Figurines, which includes the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo and Chewbacca figurines along with it. Furthermore, it comes with an R2-D2 figure, sensor dish, cannon, ladder, and label sheet so kids can pretend to be the most charismatic smuggler in the galaxy and adults can expose it anywhere they want.
One of the big characters making a return this year is Batman, one of the main stars in the upcoming film Batman V Superman. This is a Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends Transforming Batcave for the young ones who are as excited as we are about the caped crusader’s return, and it includes a transforming bat-cave, and Batman and Joker figurines to play in it. It’s currently on sale at $44.99 which saves you $15 USD from the retail price, so this is a great option.
Minecraft has become unbelievably huge, and gamers of all ages and backgrounds love it. That is why the Minecraft Core Player Survival Pack Action Figure has become such a hot item for this holiday season,being the star of one of the biggest games of all times. The best part about it, though, is that you can get this figurine for just under $10 USD, making it the perfect gift for the young ones in the family.
Prediction: if 2015 was the year of Star Wars, 2016 will be the year of Deadpool. With an upcoming movie and all, this POP Marvel: Deadpool Vinyl Bobble-head Figure by Funko is meant to become one of the hottest items throughout the year, and we’re sure it will become a highly sought collectible. Get them while they last, you will thank us afterwards. As of now, this figurine costs just under $12 USD.
While all incarnations of the Power Rangers are special in their own right, we always had some special feelings for the Dino Charge Rangers, our favorite team in recent history, for featuring the Dino Charge Megazord, the coolest mecha they have had so far. The mecha can be disassembled into three separate robots featuring three robots. Still, the point is that all three can combine with other figurines from the series into bigger and bigger mechas.
This is an incredibly detailed Toy Story Pull String Woody 16″ Talking Figure, a Disney Exclusive featuring the main star from the Toy Story movie series. It is pretty big at 16″ tall, and when you pull the string, it can say up to 19 different phrases at random. It is on sale right now at $25 USD, half off from its regular $50 USD price, so whether you’re a collector or just think someone would like this present during the holidays, now is the time to get it.
Although there weren’t any home console Zelda games this year, we always have a special place in our hearts for Link. This The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Link Nendoroid is based off of Toon Link as seen in the beloved Wind Waker and the Super Smash Bros series. You can buy this cute figurine at 28% off from its regular price for a grand total of $35.94 USD, which is not bad at all for such a detailed figurine.
The Star Wars Black Series by Hasbro recreates some of the most classic figurines that came out along with the original trilogy. These are figurines that are more meant to be cool and classic rather than cute, and might appeal to older collectors. Out of the entire series, our favorite model is absolutely the Star Wars The Black Series Darth Vader 6″ figurine, featuring Anakin Skywalker’s alter ego in its most iconic outfit from the original trilogy. You can buy this figurine for just under $30 USD.
We already talked about how much Minecraft means to gamers all around the world, so that is why we also wanted to recommend a second version of the main playable character Steve. The Minecraft Diamond Steve Action Figure features a 2.75″ articulated Steve in Diamond armor, the most durable set from the game, which comes with a removable helmet, diamond block and a sword that fits in his hand. It is on sale right now, and you can get it for $7.19 (40% off).
The Funko POP! Marvel: Dancing Groot Bobble Action Figure is the most sought-out Bobblehead figurine right now, and we can’t blame the collectors for this. Groot already stole everyone’s heart in Guardians of the Galaxy and this figurine cranks the cuteness to 11. While you can potentially get the entire cast from the movie for less than $30 USD, we wanted to point this figurine out at $6.99 USD – at this price, it’s a crime to not get it.

The holiday season 2015 is about to fully dawn on us, and that means crazy sales and discounts – especially if you’re a gamer. This is a list of things you should be aware of entering the best season in the year to shop.
With the holiday season 2015 in sight, there are plenty of hot dates to look around if you are looking forward to getting games, systems and accessories on the cheap. Whether you prefer the best-selling console of the generation, the PlayStation 4, the iconic Xbox One, home of Halo, Tomb Raider and Quantum Break, the beloved Wii U for Super Mario Bros and Zelda or the PC because you won’t settle for anything but the best graphics, there are many things you should be aware of.
If you are interested in PC gaming at all, you know of Steam already. In case you don’t, it’s a digital storefront that sells downloadable games for Windows, Linux and OS X that you can purchase and download at any time through a light-weight program that will install and do all (most) of the hard work for the users so they can just play, Steam is infamous for its crazy sales, where game prices have the potential to get ridiculously low, with up to 90% discount tags. While there are game sales going on all year long, there are two very specific dates users need to be aware of. One is their Halloween sale, which lasts that entire weekend, and the Christmas / New Year sale, which can go on for up to two weeks, and they hit you with new offers every 8 hours – it’s absolutely insane.
Amazon is a fantastic alternative for users who would rather buy games on a console, but they also have amazing PC deals going on for the holiday season. Amazon lets users create their own wishlists, and because the prices will always be lower than retail, regular stores, you can get gems like Star Wars Battlefront, Rise of the Tomb Raider or the latest Call of Duty from your home at the most convenient price, or even pre-order them.
If you’re American, you know about Black Friday. In case you’re not, we’re speaking of the first friday following Thanksgiving, historically the best day for shopping in the year because of the sheer amount of deals and the official beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day, regular retailers like Walmart, Gamestop, Target, Toys R’ Us and many, many others will offer special bundles, discounted systems and games, and deals that most of the time are too good to pass up. Some of these can even be taken advantage of internationally, so keep an eye out for the 27th of November of 2015 and browse the web – you never know what you might find.

We are abpit to enter the shopping season for Christmas and the end of the year, so gamers should take note of relevant releases! We’ve compiled some of the best games that came out this year and most promising titles so everyone can spend the holidays getting their game on. All of these are out already or will be by the time the holidays come around, so get ready to play.
It doesn’t matter whether you have an Xbox One, a PS4, Wii U, or PC: this year has been one of the best years ever for video games, and we’ve had some incredible titles since the very beginning. Even now, with the holiday season looming, we’re still awaiting for some amazing titles that fans just can’t wait to put their hands on (out of which Fallout 4 reigns supreme). If you’re already thinking about the end of the year, and the new video games you could ask for, gift someone or enjoy playing by yourself, this is a list of the few that come to mind whenever we think of what a fantastic 12 months 2015 has had.
Fallout 4 is going to drop soon on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, and it promises to bring the post-apocalyptic tale to the next generation with better shooting, refined leveling systems, and more and more action and tales from the wasteland. This latest entry will feature voiced main characters, which are a first for the series, and incredible new additions like the possibility of playing with mods (even on consoles!), creating our own towns and refugees, and meeting an entirely new cast while exploring the city of Boston and its outskirts. The game will have you create a new character at the beginning, choosing his or her strength and weaknesses, and then send you off to explore, solve situations, and meet a colorful cast of nuclear holocaust survivors – either humans, mutants, zombies, or more. Players all around the world have been waiting for this new entry for years (ever since 2009’s Fallout: New Vegas), so it’s fantastic that Bethesda is finally delivering – and it seems they’ll deliver big time.
The latest entry in Konami’s beloved stealth-action series, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain came out only a couple weeks ago, but it has already become one of the most beloved and highest rated games this generation. In this title (available for PS4, Xbox One and PC) players will take control of Snake/Big Boss who wakes up after the helicopter crash of the last game, and wants to exact revenge on Skull Face and everyone who wronged him. There are two huge maps featuring deserts, jungles, and even some more unique, special settings that are only featured in specific missions, but the point we want to make is that this is one of the biggest titles you could possibly wish for. This game comes with new features such as companions (A dog, a horse, and a misterious sniper). a completely open world to explore, the possibility of choosing how to play (lethally, or stealthy) and a hard-hitting story about deterrence, bonds, weapons, and what is right and wrong with the world. Also, the game takes place in the 80s, so be ready for a truly spectacular soundtrack, and start moving your feet to the beat.
The last chapter in Geralt’s story is a spectacular adventure of magic, sorcery, swords and Polish folklore. This final bit of the series takes place in a fully open-world (do you see a theme here?) where Geralt will explore from the smallest towns solving issues for different people to the bombastic courts, full of intrigue, as if it was a Game of Thrones episode. This game is all about consequences of the player’s actions, and it has a playtime of over 100 hours so each person that you decide to help or not could potentially change your game further down the road. Furthermore, Geralt will have all of his companions by his side along characters that were only mentioned in the previous games that now appear for the first time such as the sorceress Yennefer and the mysterious but powerful Ciri, who players will even get to control during a few sections of the game – a completely awesome power trip for one of the hardest games in the market right now. Gamers can enjoy this fantastic title on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Super Mario Bros is one of the most beloved franchises of all time, and the little chubby plumber is the absolute king among video game mascots. His last dedicated video game is all about celebrating this legacy, and opening the series for player creativity with a huge toolbox that allows players to create their own levels. Super Mario Maker is a gigantic toolbox which players can explore and enjoy in any way they want to create simple courses, sprawling levels, or gimmicky but hilarious stuff to surprise their friends – all while using the graphics of the OG Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World or New Super Mario Bros. This game is only as good as the player is creative and as long as the player enjoys exploring other people’s creations, but potentially, this is a Super Mario Bros game with infinite levels, absolutely packed with content that should keep any Mario fan happy for hours, days, weeks and years to come. Good on Nintendo for reminding everyone that video games are supposed first and foremost to be fun.
Bloodborne is a game about the occult and evil where players control a hunter who delves into a strange land with gothic overtones in search of a mysterious compound called “Paleblood”. This amazing PlayStation 4 exclusive game was developed by the creators of the Dark Souls and Demon Souls series, and as such, sports an incredible difficulty where players will die a lot, just like with old school classic video games, and will end up relearning how to enjoy the promised victory after vanquishing some of the toughest foes in any game yet. As opposed to the Dark Souls series, this game has a more modern setting and besides the classic melee weapons, players will have access to some guns and faster movement, creating a dynamic, complex but beautiful action game that no gamer will be able to put down until the inevitable conclusion. We can’t overstate this enough, but this video game here is reason enough to buy a PS4, and then, there is every other game on this list to enjoy afterwards.
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens is dropping this year, and to celebrate there is a whole lot of Star Wars related things coming out – from drones to action figures and bobbleheads, and all this merchandising includes video games. Out of these, the game that you absolutely need under the Christmas tree is Star Wars Battlefront (PS4, Xbox One, PC) , a game by EA and Dice, who are known for the beloved Battlefield series. This is a game meant for multiplayer first and foremost, and will have huge squads of gamers picking sides between Rebels and Empire and battling it out in many of the most iconic stages from the movies. From the cold, desolate ice planet of Hoth to the maze-like canyons of Tatooine, this game is all about team-work and working together to bring down the other team and snatch triumph from them. What’s best is that the game will reward good performance, and if you fulfill the objectives, will even get to eventually play as Luke SkyWalker or Darth Vader themselves and go on murdering rampages on the enemy camp.
The Rock Band series is back, after many years in video gaming limbo! This new entry is the first one to come out for the next generation of consoles, and can be enjoyed on PS4 and Xbox One. In this series of games players grab their instrument controllers and play along to the music simulating either guitars, drum sets, or vocals in one of the most fun games out there. This video game features an expansive track list with songs from many artists and decades so the young can discover the classics while us older folks get to check out what kids are listening to nowadays – and on top of this, all of the songs from previous Rock Band DLC are available to be downloaded and playing on the latest version, so your tracklist could increase exponentially with all of your favorite artists’ contributions! While the first version of this game has not had the best reception because of issues with the menu, and complications finding the songs players like, the truth is this game remains as much fun as it was when it first came out, and it’s an absolute joy to have it back among us.
The latest chapter in the Halo saga is called Halo 5: Guardians, and its one of the most awaited video games in the Xbox’s history. This new chapter in the story of Master Chief is not just about the Chief itself, but also that of Spartan Locke, a newcomer tasked with finding Chief after the events of Halo 4. Other than that, the game features a strong single-player campaign, story heavy, but with the characteristic tight shooting fans have grown to expect. There’s also the multiplayer component, featuring from traditional deathmatches to an entirely new mode based on exploration, teamplay, objectives, using vehicloes and even gives the possibility of tackling down all kinds of bosses and gigantic creatures along with a group of friends while defending against an enemy team comrpised of human players, which is completely insane. Halo 5 will be dropping on October 27th, so it’s definitely going to be ready for purchasing (even with an Xbox One bundle!) by the time Christmas comes around.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III is the third entry in the Black Ops series, one of the most beloved first person shooters in the market. This new iteration is coming out for a plethora of consoles including the PS3 and Xbox 360 where it will be multiplayer only. and the regular edition with story mode for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. In all of these, players will be able to access one of the most fast-paced, highly competitive and addictive Call of Duty multiplayers to date with new features like running on walls, fast guns, and even quicker movement for frantic battles set in a dystopian near-future. The single player story, apparently, will tie-in with the beloved zombie mode from the previous entry, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, and the players will get a choice of many characters to play as, each with their own individual backstory and personalities. If you were looking for a fast, quick-paced competitive game to play with your friends, it’s hard to go wrong with Treyarch’s latest offering.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is the most recent story of the iconic heroine Lara Croft. While it’s going to launch exclusively on Xbox One (with a fantastic bundle, even) for the holiday season, a PC version will release afterwards and a PS4 edition appears further down on the timeline. Regardless, this title is going to be a direct sequel of Lara’s latest adventure titled simply Tomb Raider, which acted as an origin story of sorts. This sequel will expand on that, show more of her growth, and have her visiting exotic locales, platforming and shooting her way through enemies who want to see her dead. If this new chapter is anything like the previous one, it will be a tight adventure where players will be able to run back and forth on semi-open maps gathering collectibles, getting into gunfights, and more importantly, raid tombs for power-ups, experience, and new weapons to tackle the many different perils all over the game.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is coming out early next year, but before that happens gamers can take a final look at Nate’s previous adventures with this awesome collection. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection features all three previous games that came out for the PS3 (Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception) in a completely remastered package where all of the games are in high-definition and running on 60 frames per second. If you have never heard of this saga before, let us say that Uncharted is the best Indiana Jones video game ever created that doesn’t actually feature Indiana Jones, but the charming Nathan Drake and his colorful cast of mates. In these games players get to explore ancient ruins, cities, deep jungles, mountain ranges and more while shooting their way through hordes of foes and platforming, all while the leading characters exchange banter, witty quips, and some of the funniest lines to ever grace a video game. The Uncharted series is all about charm, and if you have a PS4, you owe playing these to yourself.
While many gamers will be disappointed that there is no The Legend of Zelda for Wii U this year, it’s not like there aren’t any new games coming out in the franchise. The Legend of Zelda: TriForce Heroes is an upcoming title for the Nintendo 3DS where players will take control of three Links at once, and use their different skills to solve puzzles, either in single player or in multiplayer mode between three friends. This game shares graphical assets with the previous Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, which was one of the best Zelda games in ages, and already has a place of honor in the Zelda pantheon. The most fun part, though, is that this collaboration can be done either by being in the same room (even with just one cartridge or digital copy of the game), or completely online thanks to the magic of the Internet, so everyone can enjoy their Zelda dose no matter where they are. That’s the whole point of having a portable console anyways, isn’t it? To be able to play anytime, anywhere.

If your smartphone is more than a gadget, and a working tool you simply can not work without, it might be time to consider investing in a typing alternative that doesn’t make the whole experience hellish.

Speaking of the ever-present smartphones, it can be quite complicated to run out of juice in the middle of something important, and portable chargers are becoming more and more important in our every day routines.

This is one of those toys that are so cool you just can’t help but wonder how come you don’t have one for yourself. This mug will stirr its contents with the press of a button, because only a caveman would use a spoon. This should be the norm, and not a novelty gadget.
The perfect speaker to use both inside the house and outside of it, the Omaker M4 has some 12 hours of playtime and could easily outlast your smartphone’s battery.
