They say that there is such thing as too much of a good thing, but when that good thing is reusable tote bags, we’d have to disagree. We have a stash in the house, a ton in the car, and use them for all sorts of things. Hiking supplies tote? You know it. Crafting tote? Yup. Playground toys and snacks tote? It’s essential. So when we saw that Costco has a new custom reusable tote bag emblazoned with a cute design featuring some of its most iconic products, we knew we had to have one. But you can’t just buy this tote at Costco — it comes as part of a set.

This year, Costco is selling Gift Membership cards in stores that are already a wonderful holiday present idea for pretty much anyone. But the cherry on top of this gift is that each Gift Membership card comes with an exclusive reusable Costco tote bag. The bag features a variety of vintage cartoon-style depictions of iconic food court items (like the Costco hot dog, ice cream, and pizza), Costco staples (Kirkland toilet paper, tires, a big screen TV), and, of course, the Costco membership card that holds the key to experiencing all of these things in real life. If you’re a Costco member already (sign up here), this is a great gift to give the person in your life who always has to hear you ranting and raving about your best Costco finds.

The Costco Gold Star Gift Membership is $65, and though you can buy one online, only in stores will you get one of the Costco tote bags. And for those who are really coveting the tote bag, let’s all be real with one another for a second. If you were to buy the gift membership, then give the membership card to someone as a present and keep the tote for yourself…well, sometimes we need to do what we need to do, you know? But you’ll want to act fast, because these Costco tote bags will only be included with Costco Gift Memberships while supplies last, and we have a feeling they won’t be around for long.
