Costco also had a great selection of discounted gift cards for local restaurants.
Costco is one of my favorite places to shop — so much so that I always dedicate one day a year to finishing my Christmas shopping at the big-box retailer.
Here are the best Christmas gifts I bought at Costco this year, including cozy flannels, slippers, kids books, and cookies.
Simple Modern Trek tumblers are equal parts trendy and practical.
Tumblers have been super trendy this year, and these Simple Modern ones caught my eye as soon as I walked into Costco.
The 40-ounce cups can keep drinks either hot or cold for 24 hours, and the handle makes it easy to take them on the go.
I grabbed two for my cousins, and I may go back to get one for myself.
The Dearfoams slippers were too cozy to pass up.
When I came across pairs of ladies Dearfoams slippers for $15 each, I knew I had to grab a pair for both my mom and mother-in-law.
The slippers, available at my Costco in gray or black, have an ultra-thick memory-foam insole and are perfect for anyone who works from home or doesn't like to walk around the house in shoes.
Avalanche thermal socks can be a great stocking stuffer.
My dad works outside, so I always like to get him a few things to keep him warm throughout the winter.
He's a big fan of hand and toe warmers, but I thought he might like these Avalanche thermal socks, which promise all-day warmth. I got a pack of three for $10.
The Hammond's snowball cookies come in the cutest festive jar.
If you're looking for a gift that's delicious and beautiful, I recommend looking for the Hammond's snowball cookies, which come in a Christmas-tree-shaped jar at Costco.
I grabbed one for my aunt, but I think this would also make a great gift for friends or coworkers.
At $17, I thought this was a great deal.
The Freedom Foundry shacket was a hit with my dad last year, so I grabbed another one.
Last Christmas, I got my dad a Freedom Foundry shacket that he still wears all the time. In fact, he loved the warm, plush shirt jacket so much that he dropped a not-so-subtle hint that he'd love another one this year.
I was super excited when I came across more colors of the shackets for only $20 each.
Costco has a great selection of discounted gift cards.
Every year, I like to browse Costco's selection of gift cards, many of which are for local restaurants and chains. The best part is most gift cards sold here are worth more than what shoppers pay for them.
For example, I grabbed $100 worth of gift cards to Bubbakoo's Burritos for just $70. The pack I got came with four gift cards, which makes it easy to split this up for multiple people on my list.
My cousin's daughter is going to love the Bluey book and toy set.
I always struggle with what to get the little ones in my life — but I added this adorable Bluey book and toy set to my cart as soon as I saw it.
The book feels high-quality and features many of the show's characters. It also comes with 10 figurines and a play mat.
It seemed worth more than the $11 I paid for it, and I think it's perfect for my cousin's daughter.
