On a budget for holiday gift-buying? Read on to learn about some low-cost finds at Costco.
If you’re stressed out about the number of holiday gifts you need to buy this year, you’re no doubt in good company. And if you’re short on funds, you may be wondering how on earth you’re going to find something for everyone on your list without ending up with a massive pile of credit card debt.
If you’re a Costco member, though, you’re in luck. The warehouse club giant has a host of products in store that make great Christmas gifts for under $30. Here are some worth checking out.
1. Kirkland Signature Ladies’ Cozy Fleece Crewneck
If you live in an area with cold winters, you can really never have too many warm sweatshirts. Costco is selling a Kirkland brand women’s fleece top for $16.99. It’s a longer length for added coverage and comes in a range of sizes and two colors — oatmeal beige and purple. It’s machine-washable for easy care and a great gift for that person in your life who always seems to be cold.
2. Spyder Active Men’s Long Sleeve Shirt
Wearing cotton during a workout can mean sweating up a storm only to have your shirt stay damp and cold until you’re able to peel it off. That’s just not a good feeling. So if there’s someone special in your life with a tendency to hit the gym or go for a jog, this shirt makes a great gift. It’s a moisture-wicking top that’s perfect for an intense workout, and it features reflective shoulder detailing so that whoever wears it is more visible during those early morning or evening runs. It comes in blue, black, and gray in a variety of sizes for just $15.99.
3. Fun With Mouse & Friends: 6 Picture Book Box Set
If you need a holiday gift for a book-loving toddler or preschooler, you should consider this set. It features fun classics such as If You Give a Moose a Muffin and If You Take a Mouse to School. At $26.99, you’re only paying about $4.50 apiece for six hardcover books. The set also includes a bonus poster.
4. Life Comfort Reversible Sherpa Fleece Blanket
Throw blankets are a good gift for pretty much anyone. And Costco is selling a reversible sherpa fleece throw for $19.99. It’s large enough to fit a queen- or king-sized bed and is machine-washable for easy care. Choose from mutli-colored, gray, or dark gray, depending on your recipient’s taste.
5. Cuisinart EasyPop Hot Air Popcorn Maker
A big reason some people like going to the movies is getting to enjoy a bag of freshly popped popcorn. Now, your loved ones can experience that from the comfort of home — and save the money they’d otherwise have to spend on a ticket. This popcorn maker produces up to 15 cups of popcorn — enough to feed a crowd. And all of its removable parts are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. You can find this gadget for just $23.99.
All of the items above are available on Costco.com, and the prices listed reflect what you’ll pay online. But Costco often has lower prices at its warehouse club stores. So if money is tight this season, it could pay to brave the crowds and do your holiday shopping in person. You might end up spending even less on the gifts you’re looking to buy.
