The little chocolate mousse cakes. I believe they are currently in the shape of a flower.

The rasperry tarts from the bakery.

The chocolate covered fruit is good, especially the cherries. DH likes their gingersnap cookies.

Really, you just have to go and buy the stuff that you know the person likes to eat. It's pretty hard to go wrong.

ALso, the boxes of baking mixes (blondies, seasonal loaf cakes) are surprisingly good.

Spinach dip

What do you like from TJ?

They have a sunscreen that’s a Supergoop dupe.

I would get dry ice and bring frozen stuff too

That’s my favorite section in the store.

Pistachio toffee. Brazilian cheese bread. Dried fruit — I like the California apricots, and nuts — the sesame cashews are delicious. I agree with the suggestions to get things from the body section— one of the body butters, maybe a body scrub, and sunscreen. And maybe some of the juice based sodas. I’d put everything in a tote too!

Beyond that, it would depend on the person’s tastes. I like the Black Forest Bacon, the smoked Gouda and other cheeses, the smoked salmon. I also really like the frozen spanakopita. The olive salad (jar) and the chimmichurri (Sp) sauce are delicious too.

Lentil chips with a dip

If you know them well, the beauty dupes are fun. Like the daily sunscreen super goop dupe. Good candles. Everything bagel seasoning. Speculloos spread. Vodka sauce. Put it in those trandy mini totes or a big bag depending on what you get

The wine is not good enough to take to someone who doesn't have a TJ nearby. The novelty is just how cheap it is.

I like TJ for the frozen products, the pre-marinated meats, and the large cheese selection at an affordable price. Oh also the Thai chili cashews.
