Are you making your list and checking it twice? Holiday shopping season is upon us, and luckily, Costco’s here to help. Buying gifts from the warehouse giant is a great way to maximize your Costco membership. Here are five great gifts for less than $50.

1. OXO SoftWorks POP Storage Containers

You get a testimonial for this gift idea, because I’ve owned these containers for almost a decade, and I paid more than $47.99 for them — which is what Costco’s charging right now. I use them primarily in my kitchen, but one of the small ones also holds Q-Tips in my bathroom. They look great on your counters or in your cabinets, and the reassuring pop seal keeps them airtight.

And as a bonus, you’ll pay about the same price for eight of these as you would pay for just five on Amazon. Pick up these OXO Softworks POP containers for the person who has everything — but could use a little hand keeping it organized.

2. Anker MagGo Magnetic Wireless Charging Power Bank

The conundrum of modern life — many of us always want to be connected, but power outlets can be scarce in public. Enter these Anker charging power banks, which don’t even require a cord to plug into, provided you have a device that can charge wirelessly. You get a two-pack for just $29.99. Just one of these goes for $19.99 at Best Buy, so for $10 more, you get two gifts.

If you’re doing your holiday shopping at Costco, it’s worth using a credit card that earns cash back there — click here for our favorite credit cards for Costco buys.

3. Dearfoams Slippers

I keep my house fairly cool in the winter and I have hardwood floors, so a good pair of slippers is an absolute must. If you want to give the gift of toasty feet, check out Costco’s deals on men’s and women’s Dearfoams slippers.

Turning to the Dearfoams website shows what a deal these slippers are — I found precious few options for less than $30. But at Costco, women’s Dearfoams are going for $11.99 and men’s for $12.99, with two color options for each.

4. Vacaville Fruit Company Dried Fruit & Nut Tray

The gift of food is more thoughtful than you may realize. Instead of giving someone an object they must store in their house, you’re giving a consumable they can enjoy over the holidays.

At Costco, you can score 34 ounces of dried fruit and nuts arranged artfully in a holiday tin for just $29.99. The selection includes pineapple slices, dates, pistachios, and more. A similar selection sold by Vacaville directly goes for $36.95.

Another perk of ordering through Costco? Shipping and handling are included in that online price of $29.99.

5. Sur La Table Digital Kettle with Infuser

Cold winter weather is the perfect condition to cultivate a hot tea habit. Why not give one of your favorite people a head start with an electric kettle that also has a built-in tea infuser? (Once you try loose-leaf tea, you’ll have a hard time going back to tea bags.) You can score this Sur La Table model for $34.99 at Costco.com — but the same one goes for $49.99 at Walmart.

There you have it — five thoughtful gifts that won’t break the bank and are sure to be appreciated by the fine folks on your shopping list. Costco’s holiday deals are worth a closer look, even if you usually only turn to this warehouse club for deals on groceries and household supplies.
