Walter's Holiday Gift Guide
The holidays are easier when the gift is specific. A Westchester original. A hot dog that's been ranked #1 in the country. A pagoda-shaped ornament for the tree. If you've got a Walter's fan on your list, or someone who grew up in Westchester and moved away, here's everything in the Walter's holiday lineup for 2026.
What Walter's gifts should I order first?
The ornaments. They're the one thing that regularly sells out, and they ship slowly because every piece is handblown glass, hand sculpted, and hand painted. If you want one under a tree this year, order by early November at the latest.
What ornaments does Walter's sell?
Walter's has two signature ornaments, both handmade in blown glass. The Walter's Hot Dog Ornament is shaped like a classic Walter's hot dog on a bun. The Pagoda Christmas Ornament is modeled on the Mamaroneck landmark. Both are available on the Walter's online store for $22 each, or $40 for the Ornament Bundle with both, as well as in-store at Mamaroneck and White Plains and through Goldbelly. Supplies are limited every year.
What apparel does Walter's offer?
Walter's apparel includes t-shirts (the 105th anniversary tee is still around), long-sleeve shirts, and snapback hats in gray and black. There are also baby bibs and other seasonal pieces that rotate through the store. Apparel ships faster than ornaments but still slower than standard retail, so Thanksgiving week is a reasonable deadline for apparel orders.
Does Walter's sell golf balls?
Yes. Walter's branded golf balls are a quiet favorite for the dad or golfer on your list. Small, affordable, and recognizably Walter's. Check availability at either stand or on the online store.
What about Walter's gift cards?
Gift cards are the easiest option when you're not sure what someone wants. They work at both Mamaroneck and White Plains and have no expiration. For a last-minute gift, this is the fastest.
How does Goldbelly shipping work for gifts?
Goldbelly ships Walter's hot dogs nationwide, which makes it the best option for Westchester transplants and far-away family. The lineup includes the 12-pack gift pack, the 16-pack gift set, the 24-pack kit, a 48-pack of Pigs in a Blanket, a Hot Dog Kit + T-Shirt Gift Set, and the two ornaments as standalone orders.
Goldbelly ships in insulated packaging and delivers across the country. For a holiday delivery window, order by mid-December at the latest.
What's the best Walter's gift under $50?
A couple of options at that price point: either ornament, a snapback hat, or a Walter's Mustard jar ($5.50) paired with a t-shirt all land under $50. A Goldbelly 12-pack starts higher but covers a full gift.
What's the best Walter's gift for a Westchester transplant?
A Goldbelly kit, no question. Someone who grew up eating Walter's and moved to another part of the country will light up when a box of hot dogs shows up at their door. Pair it with an ornament for the full package.
When should I order?
Three deadlines matter:
Ornaments: early November (handmade, slow to ship)
Apparel: Thanksgiving week
Goldbelly kits: mid-December for holiday delivery
