Everybody knows that Walmart is a go-to for the basics — groceries, household essentials — but it's so much more than that. The place is a treasure trove of incredible finds, including products loved by celebrities, hard-to-find brands and, of course, customer favorites backed by oodles of rave reviews.

Whether you're looking for a gift or for personal essentials, Walmart has you covered — and these 16 cult favorites are a great place to get started. Many of the gems are exclusive to Walmart, like Billy Joel on vinyl, Drew Barrymore's kitchen accessories and The Pioneer Woman's home line, so you'll only be able to shop them here.

And while you’re shopping, consider signing up for Walmart+. In case you haven’t heard of it, Walmart+ is kind of like Amazon Prime. For a small flat fee— $13 a month or $98 a year — you get free shipping on unlimited orders of eligible merch, which can even include groceries. You receive your goods quickly — overnight, or in some cases, the very same day. There are no added fees. And sign-up is easy; a risk-free trial gives you 15 days, and a quick three-question survey will tack on two more weeks. Walmart+ can be a lifesaver as the holidays approach.

Drew Barrymore's Beautiful line of cookware might be a relatively recent addition to Walmart shelves, but it's legendary already — it sold out almost immediately. Perhaps it's the innovative color options (sage green, anyone?), but we think it's the combination of truly gorgeous design and serious function. One standout? A touchscreen coffeemaker with a brushed gold handle.

"I love this coffeemaker," shared a shopper. "Stylish and yet extremely functional. It has a beautiful gold trim on the handle.... It works perfectly. Great-tasting coffee and easy to use. I love that this line has such a nice style to it and looks great on the counter."

Your skin picks up a lot of...stuff — dirt, dust, lint, oils. The best way to slough it all away is with an excellent scrub, and Walmart shoppers swear by this one by Dove. It uses crushed macadamia nuts (yum!) to polish off all sorts of debris, while rice milk gently hydrates and nourishes your skin.

"Smells absolutely wonderful and is great for the skin!" a shopper declared. "Use this on any part of your body to leave it smelling nice and feeling smooth as ever."

It's available in a ton of different colors and comes with two pillowcases, a fitted sheet, and a flat sheet. The fitted sheet has an extra-deep pocket, so it's easy to tuck into your mattress. Some colors are on sale, too.

"We LOVE them! My fiancé hates top sheets and actually uses this one. Very soft and lightweight (we personally like that), and the straps to secure them to the mattress have been game changing. I bought a second set"
