5 Great Mother's Day Gifts to Buy at Costco

If you're stressing out over Mother's Day this year, you're no doubt in good company. Many people struggle to come up with a nice gift for their moms. And if you're trying to conserve funds and add cash to your savings account these days in light of inflation, then you might feel especially limited in what you can spend on Mother's Day.

The good news is that Costco carries a host of items that could make for a really nice Mother's Day gift. And since shopping at Costco often means racking up a lower credit card tab than shopping elsewhere, you may find that you're able to stretch your Mother's Day budget quite nicely.

Here are a few specific Costco items to look out for if you need a Mother's Day gift.

1. Gourmet food baskets

What do you get for the mother who has everything? Fancy food, of course. This way, your mom won't complain that you've given her something she doesn't have room to store. Costco sells a variety of gift baskets that are loaded with delicious food items. Check out the selection at your local warehouse club store, or browse online to see which food or snack bundle you think your mom will appreciate the most.

2. Spafinder gift cards

It often pays to purchase your gift cards at Costco. That's because you'll typically get to buy those gift cards for a lower price than their face value. Meanwhile, for many moms, the gift of relaxation is the best gift of all. So it pays to head to your local Costco (or shop online) and pick up a Spafinder gift card for your mom.

3. Perfume

Costco carries a range of perfumes both in stores and online. If your mom enjoys perfume, you might score a better price at Costco than at an outside retailer.

For example, Costco offers a 2.5-ounce bottle of Givenchy Dahlia Divin Eau de Parfum for $46.79 in the New York metro area. (Do note that Costco prices vary by metro). Amazon carries the same item for $56.55.

4. A Fitbit

Have a mom who's active? A Fitbit could be a great gift. Costco carries a variety of Fitbit models. Right now, the Fitbit Luxe Fitness and Wellness Tracker is available for $79.99 in the New York metro area. Your price may be different depending on where you live. Amazon has the same item for $89.95.

5. Loungewear

Being a mom is a demanding job -- especially for moms of younger kids. As such, your mom might enjoy nothing more than changing into something comfortable at the end of a long day to sit on the couch and relax. Costco offers a range of loungewear products, from joggers to hoodies to matching sets. To give the gift of the ultimate "kick back and relax" experience, add a cozy throw blanket to your gift, which you can also find at Costco.

All of these gifts could make your mom extremely happy this Mother's Day. But here's one final gift you may want to consider: the gift of a Costco membership if your mom doesn't have one already. For just $60 a year, you can purchase a basic membership that gives your mom access to Costco and all of its marvelous deals. You may even decide to splurge on an executive membership so your mom can score 2% back on all of her Costco purchases.
