It’s 7 days before Christmas, and if you haven’t finished your Christmas shopping yet, you might be me in panic mode, however, fear not! I’ve partnered with Sam’s Club to share last minute gift ideas for the different people in your life. If you’re like me, you probably think of giant bags of sugar, bulk foods, and samples; however, Sam’s Club is more than that; it’s actually a great source of last minute gifts!
When I asked people what they think of when they think Sam’s Club, the answers were all pretty much along the same track:
- bulk foods
- pretzels
- pizza
- birthday cakes
- concession stand supply store
- samples, samples, samples!
Fair enough, right? That’s probably what you think, too. I bet that you never thought of Sam’s Club as a place to get Christmas presents for friends and family, though, did you?
Well, you should rethink that, because Sam’s Club is a fantastic place for last minute gifts! Nathan and I had a great afternoon of snacking, shopping, and gift buying – you know you’ve been married a while and have kids when a great date afternoon is spent shopping and sampling. One of the things that I want to give a big props to them for is their customer service was great, but not overwhelming. We weren’t stalked by salespeople, but there was no shortage of employees available to answer questions, help direct us, or get something down for us. Kudos, y’all.
Do you know someone who loves to cook? Maybe a newlywed or college students just building their kitchen supplies up? This 2 piece Kitchen Knife set would be a fantastic gift! Color coded knives for different uses, knife covers, and kitchen shears! They also have great pots and pans sets, kitchenaid mixers, dishes, cutlery and more!
For the cooks, Sam’s Club has a plethora of fun and popular cookbooks: Pioneer Woman, Hell’s Kitchen, Emeril, even the Modern Family cookbook!
Did you forget to buy the teacher/coach/babysitter/mailman/neighbor/stocking stuffers? Sam’s Club has you covered with gift cards galore, and their prices can’t be beat.
Nathan and I love to have friends over to grill, watch movies on the house, and celebrate life. This party tub is a fantastic gift for your favorite host and hostesses! I’m really hoping Santa has one of these in his bag for me!!!
If you have a movie lover on your list – these movie ticket gift cards are a great gift when paired with a restaurant gift card – plus, the price, y’all!!!
Star Wars opened in theaters last night, and if you have a Star Wars lover in your life, and really, who doesn’t? Check out these awesome geek-chic cookie jars! The only problem: choosing which one – Boba Fett, Storm Trooper, or Darth Vader! Which one would you choose?
Teenagers or tech/gadget loving family and friends? Sam’s Club has you covered with extra charging cables hello stocking stuffers in different colors so they don’t get them mixed up
and charging towers that will charge multiple devices at once! We make the kids surrender all devices at 8:30 each night, so one of these would enable us to charge all the devices in our room easily.
If you have a Harry Potter fan who might not be ready for the original books yet, or just a big Harry Potter fan ahem ME! This new illustrated Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is a great gift idea! We bought this at Monkey’s book fair this year and both kids have fallen in love with it; I wish I’d known Sam’s Club had it at a much better price! Now that I know they’re carrying them, we’ll be getting them from Sam’s Club when each one is released.
More books! Crossword puzzle lovers, lego lovers, mythology, superheroes… Sam’s Club has books for everyone of every reading level – crafts, origami, minions OH MY!
Did you forget your niece or nephew, the young neighbor, or need something for the artsy crafty kiddo? You can snag jewelry making kits, bead kits, fun art kits and more that are perfect for the young artist and future etsy shop owner.
Is Uncle John suddenly coming to the Christmas gathering and you don’t have anything for him? Sam’s Club has a collection of local sports team jerseys and jackets that make great last minute gifts for the sports fan.
I love decorating our house with pictures of family and friends, and Sam’s Club’s photo center makes photo gifts quick and easy! You can order canvases, posters, prints, blankets, pillows, calendars and more. Upload your favorite photos using your computer or their app. Place your order and most can be picked up the next day! Hello last minute peeps – can I get a high five! What grandparent wouldn’t love a calendar filled with their favorite faces, or a canvas of last Christmas to hang in their house. I’m planning some photo gifts this year, and I’m definitely guilty of waiting until the last minute.
Take advantage of their massive battery center and buy one pack of each, so that you aren’t scrambling on Christmas morning to find batteries for those brand new toys that need them, but don’t come with them. Nobody wants to deal with those tears of frustration, and those are just the parents!
Nathan and I found so many gift ideas at Sam’s Club, that I haven’t even mentioned yet!
Cameras, camcorders, go pros, printers, furniture, jackets, pajamas, slippers, wine, pre-packaged cheese, meat and wine baskets. Seriously, y’all, I had no idea that Sam’s Club was such a great source of gifts and goodies; but I’ll definitely be taking advantage of my membership from here on out!
