Planning this holiday season is easy,
quick and convenient with Costco.com
FIRST STEP
It’s November—time to start planning.
Download the Costco.com app for easy
mobile access to online product descriptions,
shipping information and special offers.
Use your newfound mobility to come up with
ideas on creating your very own holiday cards.
Costco’s online Photo Center makes customizing
your greeting as easy as 1-2-3. Choose from
dozens of sizes and styles to create a photo card
to share with family and friends.
See? Barely a week into the month and
you’ve already conquered a considerable amount
of work. But you’re not done!
SECOND STEP
Company coming for Thanksgiving or in
December? Spiff up a guest room with a new
mattress. Choose from dozens of options in twin,
full, queen, king and California king sizes. And
don’t miss Costco.com’s selection of bedding,
blankets and comforters. Added bonus: Costco
will haul away your
old mattress for
just $79.99.
If you’re hosting,
consider a quick
upgrade with new
furniture. Splurge on a
limited-edition print
from an emerging or
contemporary artist, or
a color lithograph by a recognized master such
as Marc Chagall, Joan Miró or Paul Klee. All works
of art come with a certificate of authenticity.
There’s always room for one more at the
table if you have a stash of folding or stacking
chairs stored away. Traditional and contemporary
styles will blend into any room or table setting.
Phew! You are set for hosting Thanksgiving
(November 28) or the first night of Hanukkah
(November 27).
The pace begins to pick up after the end of
the month, so keep those ordering fingers limber.
THIRD STEP
Going to a holiday
show or party? Pick
out a pretty holiday
outfit for the little girls
in your life. Dresses are
available in embellished
taffeta, glitter mesh,
sequins, organza and satin. Choose from an
assortment of colors in infant, toddler and girls’
sizes 5–12. Don’t delay, as these dresses always
sell out quickly.
Need to take a hostess gift? Order an evergreen or flowering bonsai and arrange for it to
be delivered shortly before the event.
Decorate this Christmas and all those to come
with a pre-lit Christmas tree with a programmable LED lighting system. The trees are available
in a variety of heights: 7. 5, 9 and 12 feet. Other
holiday decorations, including garlands and
wreaths, are also available.
The Christmas cracker is a holiday tradition
in the UK. Costco.com’s luxury version is filled with
a foil hat, a motto and a silver-plated gift and
carries the Royal Warrant of Approval, “by appointment to Her Majesty the Queen.” (Order an extra
set and go out with a bang on New Year’s Eve.)
FOURTH STEP
Whether you are shopping for Hanukkah,
Christmas or Kwanzaa (December 26), beat the
crowds. Being online and mobile savvy, browse
Costco.com from the serenity of your favorite
coffee shop and you’ll find:
; An expanded selection of men’s and
women’s clothing—shirts, pants, sweaters,
outerwear and more—in regular, big, tall and
plus sizes.
; For colleagues and clients, gifts from
Costco.com’s selection of fruits, nuts and sweet
treats in beautifully
decorated boxes and
baskets (see article on
page 26). You’re sure to
find something for
everyone on your list.
; For someone very
special, a selection of
hundreds of one-of-a-
kind diamonds every day of the year (see “Buying
Smart” on page 112). Choose the cut, clarity, color
and carat size you’re looking for. No two are alike.
; For the whole family, a year’s worth of
memories. Assemble your favorite images from
2013 into a photo book or create a custom
calendar to send to family and friends. You can
also transfer home movies and slides to DVDs for
everyone to enjoy.
POST-HOLIDAY
You knocked out a significant number of
tasks without lifting more than one or two
ordering fingers.
Reward yourself for a job well done and plan
some well-deserved R&R. From Costco Travel on
Costco.com, choose a travel package just right for
you, whether that means relaxing on a tropical
beach, exploring a faraway land or sailing the seas
on a world-class cruise.
When you return, your New Year’s
resolutions may be easier to keep than ever
with exercise equipment
delivered to your door.
Many makes and models
come with white-glove
installation.
Get a jump on work by
stocking up your home
office for 2014 without
lifting much more than a
finger. Printers, copiers, paper and toner cartridg-
es, pencils and pens, binder clips and rubber
bands—Costco can deliver all your office needs
to your door.—TS
