People are generally of two minds about getting gift cards for the holidays: Either you end up feeling like the gift card giver didn't know what to get you (hint: most people wanted these), or you're jazzed that you just got a bunch of free money to spend on things you actually want.

Either way, there's a good chance you're now sitting on a reserve of gift cards for places like Target, Amazon, Disney, or Walmart. The obvious next step is to spend those gift cards at their appropriate locations and call it a season, right? Here are some of our most recommended products.

If you got an Amazon gift card

Getting an Amazon gift card is always great: Amazon sells basically everything, so it's easy to find something you want. But it can be tough with so much selection. Here's some the best stuff we tested this year:

• Our favorite noise cancelling headphones: Bose QuietComfort 35 II
• Our best-tested dutch oven: the Staub Cocette
• One of our favorite robot vacuums: the eufy RoboVac 30C
• Our favorite essential oil diffuser: the InnoGear humidifier
• Our top tested cookware set: T-fal C561SC nonstick cookware set
• Our favorite cold brew coffee maker: Takeya 10310 iced coffee maker
• Our best-tested stainless steel drinking straws from Sipwell
• Our favorite wet lipstick from wet n wild

If you got a Walmart gift card

Walmart is a great place to shop in person and see the tech, appliances, or whatever items you're planning on getting, but if you'd rather shop from the comfort of your own home, here's some of our favorite stuff from Walmart's online store:

• One of our favorite robot vacuums, the Ecovacs DEEBOT N79
• If you got a high amount gift card, you should check out our top-recommended cordless vacuum: The Dyson Cyclone V10
• Another robot vacuum we love: the Neato Botvac D3
• You can get our favorite affordable space heater at Walmart: the Lasko 1500W
• Our favorite affordable digital video baby monitor
• The most valuable stroller we tested

If you got a Nordstrom gift card

Lucky recipients of a Nordstrom gift card can enjoy a fairly enormous collection of clothing, shoes, and accessories. We've got a lot of favorite, but we'll only list a few here:

• Good American Good Legs High Waist Skinny Jeans
• North Face ‘Resolve Plus’ Waterproof Jacket
