The Holidays are coming and, with them, big expenses. Christmas is a time of reflection, prayer, for getting together with family and friends, but also of great expenditures on dinners, trips, or gifts. Buying gifts in bulk is one of the best decisions you could make if your gift list is large, and no one knows better about shopping in bulk than Costco, which in its hundreds of stores throughout the United States is going to make things easier for you.
Learning how to buy bulk gifts at Costco
Well, before we start, I have to clarify that we are not going to suggest the typical boring usual gifts, such as a scarf, socks, or pens. But, to buy gifts in large quantities to save money, you have to be creative. I’ll tell you about five ideas that you will find in practically any Costco in the country.
Chocolate Chips Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are a great gift always. No matter who you give them to, they will definitely make their day. The Cougar Mountain brand sells at Costco a pack of 24 individual cookies that you can separate into various gift packages, to give to several family members. For only $24 you get this great box from which you will create many Christmas gifts.
Assorted chocolates and treats
As with cookies, there is no way to look bad if you give chocolate. It’s like giving a hug to the soul and the palate at the same time. Since 1981, the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory brand has been producing the highest quality chocolates using the finest ingredients. To turn into Christmas gifts, sell a 1.5 lb pack of chocolates, pretzels, nougats and more, all covered in chocolate, for only $34.99.
Individual-wrapped biscotti pack
A typical pastry of the Italian Christmas are the biscotti, also known as cantucci, typical Italian cookies from the region of Tuscany, whose main feature is that they are baked twice, perfect to dip in a hot chocolate or a coffee.
They are an excellent gift that you can combine with the others mentioned before. These come with a layer of dark chocolate and with delicious toasted almonds. A pack of 24 Nonni’s brand biscotti, individually packed. it’s only $14.99 at Costco.
Hot cocoa bombs
This is one of the discoveries of the year in our house. Since we know that they exist, we always have a box at hand, because when we get the urge for a hot cocoa, we just need a glass of hot milk and boom! Inside the chocolate bomb.
Classic Hot Chocolate BevBombs, from A’CAPELLA brand, are made with real chocolate and filled with delicious natural mini marshmallows that add a sweet surprise to every sip!
They make an excellent gift too. You put a few in a small gift paper bag, and voila: you have a more meaningful and fun gift that is not expensive at all.
Small wine bottles
The last of the proposals is for your most refined friends: a pack of twelve small bottles of wine (375 ml) of the Bordeaux Winemaker Experience line, one of the most recognized vineyards in the world awarded for years.
The package, which costs only $89.99 ($7.49 each) includes:
2018 Chateau Cateau Lagrange, 90 points Wine Enthusiast
2018 Chateau Le Grand Moulin, 90 points Wine Enthusiast
2018 Chateau Rochers Bellevue, 90 points Wine Enthusiast
You will never be refused a wine, let alone one of these three delicious varieties.
