4 Great Costco Gifts for Newlyweds

Costco is a great place to shop for a variety of items if you want to keep more money in your bank account. You can score bulk discounts on groceries, enjoy low-priced Kirkland brand products, and even dine on a $1.50 hot dog and soda.

While you can certainly give your credit cards a workout by buying things for yourself at Costco, the warehouse club is also an ideal place to purchase gifts due to the store's affordable prices and excellent selection. If you're looking for a present for people in your life who have just tied the knot, check out these ideal Costco gifts for newlyweds.

1. A Costco membership

One of the best gifts you can give your newly-married loved ones is the gift of Costco. The warehouse club is so beloved by people setting up house and among old married couples, Costco cards should practically be handed out with marriage licenses.

If your married friends don't have a membership of their own, gifting one to them could make it much easier for them to buy all the things they'll need as they merge their lives. This is especially true now that Costco is cracking down on sharing cards.

Since an entry-level Gold Star membership will set you back only $60 and comes with a free household card so both spouses can have one, this present is ideal if you don't want to splurge too much but you want a gift that keeps on giving.

Fortunately, it's easy to buy a Costco membership for someone else. You can purchase a Gift of Membership online or at a register at your local store. You'll receive a Gift of Membership gift card that your newlywed friends can activate by bringing it to the membership counter at any Costco. And, if your recipient already has a Costco membership, this gift can still be used to either renew their current membership or upgrade to Executive status if they're currently Gold Star members.

2. A Cuisinart 12-Piece Essential Tool and Gadget Set

Most people have some kitchen utensils by the time they reach marriageable age, but few have a nice matched set. Once your friends or family members are officially coupled up, it's time for them to kiss those mismatched kitchen gadgets goodbye.

You can help them do that with the Cuisinart 12-Piece Essential Tool and Gadget Set. This will run you $49.99 at Costco online compared with $64.20 at Walmart. When the newlyweds are enjoying their nesting phase and cooking at home, they'll appreciate your thoughtfulness.

3. A Kirkland Signature Plush Blanket

There's nothing more fun for a newly married couple than snuggling up under a warm blanket together and watching some movies. You can provide that cozy warm comfort for the bargain price of just $12.97 for a Kirkland Signature Plush Blanket.

The stylish blanket comes in four colors and is available in king and queen sizes. Whether the couple uses it on their bed or as a large blanket for their living room sofa, they'll appreciate its softness and stylish look. And, while this present is easy on your wallet, it looks and feels more expensive than its price would suggest.

4. Vacaville Fruit Company 56 oz Dried Fruit & Nut Wooden Gift Tray

For the newlyweds who have everything, the Vacaville Fruit Company set is a perfect present. It provides the newly married couple with some sweet treats they can enjoy together as well as a wooden gift tray they can use as a serving piece at future dinner parties.

Each of these gifts would make a great present for those in your life who are celebrating their nuptials. Check them out today to see which one seems like a good fit.
