Same - they're Jelly Belly and they are awesome.

Of course I’m fine with gifts from Costco. Got a few this year. But I’m not a snob.

We don’t have a Costco membership so I get really excited about whatever the trendy item is there at the moment. I really love those special mangos they only have in February that no other stores seem to get- I assume they have a relationship with whatever farm grows them. My friends know this and bring them as a surprise. Anything that is exclusive to Costco would be fun. I don’t need something that I can get for myself at the grocery store.

I’d be ok with Costco wine

Costco sells Lindt chocolate. That stuff is like crack. I’d be happy with that.

So ungrateful. I don’t mind them. Chocolate is chocolate

I don’t mind gifts from Costco. However, chocolate is not chocolate.

Good chocolate is worth it. Bad chocolate should be thrown out uneaten.

Costco has decent chocolates right now. Lindt. Sanders. Ghirardelli. Some others

There’s a specific % of Costco card members who are millionaires. It’s high too

Costco's core customer is well-educated and affluent. It's particularly popular among the well-educated and affluent in places like Silicon Valley.

Anyone who is ungrateful because their Christmas gift came from Costco is just selfish + privileged in my humble opinion.

I wouldn’t gift that person anything else going forward. 😏

Wrong!

Costco carties some high end chocolates both in-store and online. You have to watch for the offerings

I bought a $100 xmas gift basket from Costco. It was a fantastic basket. Maybe that's too low class for you. shrug.

there's a tiny Indian grocery store in Rockville that has *the best* mangos for a couple of weeks in June. The owner said they are from MX.

Someone gave us Caffarel chocolates with hazelnuts, made in Italy. They’re pretty good for $11. Bought at Costco. We’re chocolate snobs too.

I would rather get nothing, but I feel that way about most gifts
