5 Awesome Christmas Gifts at Costco for Under $50

The holidays can be a financially stressful time. There's so much pressure to spend money, which is tough if you're someone who's trying hard to put more into your savings account.

The good news, though, is that Costco has a host of great gifts available right now that will result in a credit card tab of less than $50. Here are some worth looking at.

1. The Babysitters Club: 18-Book Collection

Have an avid reader in your household or family? Costco has an 18-book collection of The Babysitters Club series available online for just $31.99. That's less than $2 per book!

If you're a teacher looking to give a holiday gift to your students, you could also buy a set like this and give each child a single book (the series is pretty easy to follow even if you read the books out of order). Do note that Costco prices can vary between what you see online versus stores -- but in-store prices tend to be even more competitive.

2. The Ultimate Tie Dye Kit & Workstation

Have a child who's crafty, or looking for that sort of gift for someone in your life? Costco is selling a tie dye kit for $24.99 online right now. It comes with 24 different colors in pre-filled bottles, latex-free gloves, and more.

It's also worth noting that while this kit is rated for kids aged eight and up, it's the sort of thing that probably requires some amount of parental supervision for pre-teens. So if you're looking for a more independent activity for your kids, you may want to stick to a basic arts and crafts set.

3. Costco Wholesale Unisex Logo Hoodie

Know someone who's a huge Costco fan? For $26.99, they can show off their love of Costco all day and night with a unisex sweatshirt. It comes in black, gray, and white, and online reviews indicate that it's warm and high in quality -- just like you'd expect from Costco.

4. Vacu Vin Wine Set Elegant, 5-piece

Have a wine lover in your life? This five-piece set for $34.99 could really make their day. It features a corkscrew, an active cooler that chills wine within 15 minutes, a serving spout, and a stopper for those nights when you can't polish off a bottle in its entirety.

If you have a friend or family member who's recently moved to a new home, this could also double as a housewarming gift.

5. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Chocolate Favorites Tower

When you're not sure what to get someone you love for the holidays, chocolate is a good option to fall back on. And if you act very quickly, you can snag a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory tower for only $39.99 online as a Cyber Monday special (the regular price is $54.99). This assortment features milk and dark chocolate toffee, chocolate-covered pretzels, dark chocolate almond clusters, and more. It's also a great gift for someone who doesn't have a lot of storage space at home and might appreciate an item they can consume and then be rid of.

These items are just five of many you can score at Costco for less than $50. It pays to browse online or head over to your local warehouse club store to see what you can find to finish your holiday shopping list.
