When it comes to finding the perfect holiday gift that won’t disappoint, Costco’s always got our back. From festive hostess gifts to mouthwatering food gift baskets, our favorite warehouse retailer doesn’t leave any gaps open when it comes to thoughtful, impressive gifts for everyone on your list. So when it comes to finding gifts for our friends, we’re making a beeline for the glorious aisles of Costco that never let us down.
Whether you’re shopping for your best friend or one that you just met this year, there are a ton of unique gifts for friends you can add to your cart from Costco. Spa junkies will love their selection of luxurious beauty items, like a dreamy soap set from Crabtree & Evelyn, your coffee-loving pal won’t be able to thank you enough for a Godiva-themed coffee set that’ll get them through the day, and your homebody friend just might not wear anything but a pair of Splendid PJs all winter long (we’re grabbing a pair for ourselves too).
No Costco membership? Now’s the perfect time to get your hands on one, and you can sign up here in minutes. Thanks to Costco, you’ll be finished with that never-ending holiday shopping list before you know it. Trust us: you’ll make up the membership fee in no time with all the unbelievable savings you’ll score!
If you’re looking to win at gifting this year without making shopping a full-time job, just pick up a few of these foolproof gifts next time you go on your Costco run (whether it’s IRL or from the comfort of your couch), and you can sit back and actually enjoy your holiday season instead of stressing over finding the perfect gifts.
Spa-Worthy Treat
If you haven’t checked out Costco’s beauty aisle, you are seriously missing out. Year round, you can find coveted brands like La Mer, and the holidays offer even more beauty goodies perfect for holiday gifting, such as this goatmilk and oat gift set. It comes with a hand cream and two soothing bath milks that’ll elevate anyone’s bath routine.
Cozy Staple
For the friend who’s always chilly, a cozy blanket is always a safe bet. The never-ending throw selection can make it impossible to decide what version is actually the best, but once we saw this find from Pendleton, our search was over. It also happens to be a weighted blanket and is made just for warming up your lap, so it’s a must for everyone’s work-from-home setups.
Salon-Perfect Nails
If you’re looking to nail your holiday gifting, look no further than these gorgeous nail polish sets. This bundle includes 10 limited-edition polishes that’ll treat your friend to a salon mani right at home.
Homebody Favorite
These days, you can’t have enough pajamas — especially if they’re your go-to WFH staple (but we’ll never tell). This cozy Splendid lounge set is a steal at just $21, and it’s way more sophisticated than the fuzzy cartoon character onesie she’s probably wearing on repeat. Grab yourself a pair too, and you can consider them the new BFF bracelets.
At-Home Bartender
Sure, a boring old corkscrew wine bottle opener will get the job done but why not elevate the experience by getting your friend a fancy electric wine opener that also comes with an aerator, foil cutters and wine stoppers? This 8-piece set has everything you and your friend need for a cozy night in.
Smart Aromatherapy
Just when we thought diffusers couldn’t get any more relaxing, this next-level version popped up on Costco’s website. This soothing machine features seven color-changing lights, six sounds, and it even boasts a handy remote so you can switch up the settings without getting up from your comfy position.
The Foolproof Pick
When in doubt, the Costco gift card section is always a crowd pleaser. Whether your friend has everything or you’re looking for a little something for someone you don’t know that well, you can never go wrong with food, and Costco has a variety of gift card options for everyone’s favorite restaurant chains.
Sweet Slippers
Slippers are always at the top of wish lists everywhere, but if you’re looking for something less pricey than UGG slippers (however, Costco’s got those too!), perhaps for someone you don’t know as well, these thick socks are a solid substitute. These dreamy slipper socks have faux fur cuffs, non-slip soles and an ultra-warm lining to keep your ankles toasty too.
Personal Touch
Our gift-giving hack? Go the personalized route, and there’s no way they won’t love the gift. Costco lets you create personalized fleece blankets that’ll be delivered in 5-7 business days, so giving them a one-of-a-kind item has never been easier or faster!
Meditation Essential
Help your stressed-out friend get a moment of zen whenever they need it with this comfy meditation pillow, designed by a top yoga instructor, Angela Kukhahn. Inspired by California’s Crystal Cove State Park, this accessory features an ocean-like wave pattern to help you find your focus. It also has an easy-to-grip handle so you can take it with you on the go.
For the Disney Fan
We’ve all got that Mickey Mouse-obsessed friend who couldn’t make it to Disney this year. Hold them over until their next visit with this fleece hoodie dress, adorned with an all-over print of their favorite mouse. It’s even got a roomy kangaroo pocket to hide all the snacks they could ever want.
Yummy Treat
Food gift baskets are a seriously underrated category of holiday gifts. If you get the right one (like this one from The Fruit Company), it’s like gifting your BFF a charcuterie board and I don’t know anyone who would turn their nose up at a charcuterie board.
