14 Ideas for a Gift Exchange

The best gift to buy for an extravagant gift exchange party is the one you want for yourself.

1. Make self-care a must

Remind your friends to pamper themselves – whether it’s with a soothing bath, a relaxing fragrance or a rejuvenating skin care product. Buy a basket and make a DIY self-care package. Or, gift an enormous bar of chocolate with a fun holiday card attached.

2. A surprise inside

Set up a surprise for your friends. Roll up a little cash, then stuff it inside an ornament. Don’t tell anyone until the gift has been claimed!

3. Discover something new

Surprise your crowd with the latest entertaining items at Costco.com.

4. Wake-up mix

Indulge your caffeine-loving friends with your favorite blend.

5. Give a gift card

Gift cards are always popular, especially when you can opt for the classic movie ticket and candy combo. Higher spend limit? Plan a date night around a restaurant or an activity.

6. Adopt a plush pete

Make a statement with a present that’s hard to wrap. Check to see it fits in your car before you commit to this Costco-size bear.

7. Add a fun twist

Sports equipment can bring out friendly rivalries. More of a tailgating crowd? Give them a cooler filled with drinks or a board game to fill the downtime.

8. Say cheers

New Year’s Eve is just around the corner! Now your friends and family can create festive drinks. Please drink responsibly

9. Warm up for winter

Picture this: You're sitting next to a crackling fire wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, wearing cozy socks. Sound wonderful? Give your friend the gift of comfort.

10. Pick out a sweet treat

Go big or go home, right? Pick out a sweet crowd favorite, or choose from a selection of gift baskets packed with goodies. The more the merrier.

11. Act like a kid

For the kid in all of us: Give a gift that lets them build and play.

12. Get party ready

Find your favorite bottle of Kirkland Signature wine. Now you’re ready to go! Please drink responsibly.

13. Be prepared

Why not buy something everybody needs?

14. Go green

A little green goes a long way. Nothing says happy holidays like a plant to decorate their home.
