The winter holidays are upon us yet again — have you finished your shopping yet? If not, no sweat. Costco has you covered with plenty of thoughtful gift ideas for less than $100. Here are five that caught my eye.

1. Bose SoundLink Flex SE Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

One of the problems with so many of us transitioning our music collections to streaming services is that we now lack the classic stereo systems our parents (and perhaps grandparents, for you Gen Zers) had in their living rooms. What’s the solution? How about a Bluetooth speaker that offers up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge?

You can pick up the Bose SoundLink Flex SE speaker from Costco for a cool $99.99 right now — $30 off the list price and about $20 cheaper than Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon. This model is even waterproof and dustproof, so your gift recipient will be tickled to take it to the beach or the pool when warmer days return.

2. Lasko Motion X Whole Room Heater with Remote

I live in a place that gets serious winter weather, and I hate paying the gas company any more than necessary, so I often rely on electric space heaters to get by. If you’ve got someone on your list who is also at least part reptile, consider this Lasko heater.

While you’re shopping for loved ones, don’t forget to maximize your Costco membership — click here for our No. 1 tip to do just that.

It has all-important safety features, like automatic shut-off if it’s tipped over. It’ll heat a room of 300-499 square feet, and it even comes with a remote control. You can grab it for $54.99 right now — quite a deal when you compare that to Walmart’s price of $78.99.

3. Ring Battery Doorbell Plus with 6 Month Ring Subscription Plan

I’ve had a Ring doorbell for about a year now, and I recommend them. It’s great to be able to check who’s at my front door anytime. Now if only my neighbors would quit stopping by with baked goods at the rare times when I’m not home…

Costco has the wireless (powered by rechargeable battery — one charge lasts several weeks) Ring Doorbell for $99.99. This might not seem like a good deal at first glance, since Amazon has an even better price of $59.99 right now. But Costco’s deal comes with a six-month subscription plan for your new doorbell. Since Ring’s Standard plan will run you $9.99 per month, this is a $160 value for less than $100.

You can squeeze even more benefits from Costco shopping if you use the right credit card. Check out our picks for the best cards to whip out in the Costco checkout line.

4. Fanttik N100 7-piece Household Tool Kit with Studio Electric Screwdriver

A handy toolkit is a fantastic gift for the new homeowner in your life. You can pick up this Fanttik set from Costco for just $69.99 — a vast savings over Amazon’s price of almost $110. The kit includes a hammer, utility knife, tape measure, and an electric screwdriver with 10 bits and an extension. Plus it even comes in its own carrying case!

5. Austin Cake Ball Catering Assortment

Want your gift to be the hit at the family get-together? Consider this assortment of 48 cake balls in four different flavors. You’ll get 12 each of red velvet cake, salted caramel, birthday cake, and Oreo, for $89.99. If you buy these puppies directly from Austin Cake Ball, you’ll pay $24.95 per dozen (with a minimum order of four dozen), so going the Costco route will save you about 10%.

There’s no reason to run up a huge credit card tab in the course of buying holiday gifts. Just turn to your friendly neighborhood Costco (or Costco.com), where the best gifts are waiting.
