Some people whip out their credit cards at Costco regularly for things like groceries and household essentials. But with the December holidays rapidly approaching, you may want to turn to Costco for more than just food and paper towels — you may want to make it your go-to source for your various gifts.

It especially pays to look at Costco if you want to buy gifts for the sports fans in your life. Here are a few fun items worth checking out.

1. Arcade1Up NBA Jam Partycade 3 Games in 1

Have a basketball fan you want to spoil this holiday season? Consider this mini arcade from Costco. It features three different NBA games, full-sized arcade controls, and multiple setup options. You can put it on top of a table or mount it on a wall.

It’s available online only for $149.99, which means you won’t be able to seek out savings by buying it in a store. But if you can swing the price, you might make someone’s Christmas extra special. Shipping and handling is included in that price, too.

2. Baseball tickets

There’s nothing like the experience of watching a Major League Baseball game live. You get the roar of the crowd, the smell of stadium food, and a world of excitement.

Costco is selling baseball ticket packages for multiple teams including the Milwaukee Brewers, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Chicago White Sox. Your cost will vary based on your home team, but it’s worth looking online and at your local Costco store to see which teams and games are available. You might save a bundle of money compared to buying tickets at the ballpark or through an online service.

3. Selkirk Prime Max Pickleball Bundle

Pickleball is all the rage these days. If you have a budding fan in your life, consider buying this pickleball bundle from Costco. It includes a pair of paddles, balls, and a convenient storage bag. For $79.99 online, it’s certainly not a cheap find, but you can check your local warehouse club store for a lower price.

4. Little Hotties Hand Warmers, 80-pairs

Many parents spend their weekends glued to the soccer, baseball, or football field cheering their kids and their youth sports teams on. But when the weather gets cold, an otherwise pleasant experience could turn brutal.

These hand warmers, however, could really come to the rescue on those days when it’s so cold you can barely feel your hands. Costco is selling an 80-pack online for $34.99. These also make a great gift for someone you know who might have season tickets to a cold-weather sport like football.

Remember, Costco’s prices can vary between what’s listed online and what’s available at the store, so always compare your choices when a given product is sold through both channels. The holidays can be expensive, but if you take the time to do some research, you may find that you can eke out a little savings.
