Holidays are a time for giving, spending time with friends and family, and enjoying the season's spirit. And whether you're looking to give or receive this year, BJs has everything you need!
It's always worth checking out their deals before heading to your local grocery store.
This is especially true when it comes to food items that are typically expensive this time of year. Here are ten of my favorite things to buy at BJs Wholesale club for the holidays:
Cakes
Have you checked out BJs bakery yet? They have the most delicious cakes. I've got birthday cakes in the past. It wasn't dry or crumbly, and it was perfectly moist and tasty. You can choose from various cakes already made and ready for purchase in the cooler.
The carrot cake was another hit.
You can even order bakery items online now. Give at least 24 hours' notice when placing an order. We prefer the nondairy whipped frosting as it isn't as sweet for cake options.
Coffee
Who doesn't love a warm cup of coffee on a cold winter night? Coffee is a great beverage to serve guests for the holidays. BJs prices are competitive, and they get Starbucks seasonal blends as well. Almost every other week, you will find coupons for coffee at BJs.
Gift sets
Holiday-themed gifts are great to give during the holidays. They can be used in recipes, put out when guests come over, or displayed in your home for the season.
They are much more meaningful than a simple gift card! BJs also make it easy to find what you are looking for by groupings them by holiday theme/season.

Batteries
Nothing is worse than being at the last minute to decorate the house or have a gift for someone; your batteries are dead! So it's always good to keep an extra pack of batteries on hand during the holidays.
The same goes for flashlights; you don't want to hunt down flashlights when you need them during a power outage! I always get the BJs brand batteries and think they last as long as name-brand ones.
Chocolate Chips
The perfect ingredient for holiday baking. Why spend more for name brands at other stores when you can get them for less at BJs? If you bake as much as we do, it's worth having a bag or two on hand.
Boxed Chocolate Pieces
BJ's always has a great deal on the best chocolate you can find. My favorite treat is their Lindt pieces, which come in several flavors depending on the year/holiday. These are perfect for giving with any dessert or simply as a snack with coffee!
Dearfoam Slippers
Dearfoam slippers are the most comfortable slippers you will ever wear. I wear them all day long around the house; working from home makes it easier to have a pair of slippers on hand!
Slippers also make great gifts for friends and family.
They come in several colors/styles depending on your needs or what they would prefer. I have a black pair with just about everything and a Santa Claus pair for festive occasions during the year!
Paper Products
BJ's has a great selection of paper products, from tablecloths and plates to napkins & utensils. I get their tablecloths any time we will have company over.
They are very durable and wash well without ironing! Paper goods make the perfect hostess or holiday gifts for friends and family. You can even find matching sets in various colors to match your home decor.
Mixed Nuts
I make mixed nuts every Christmas and always get these at BJ's. They come in a big bag for a great price, especially when you take advantage of a sale/coupon!
They are not stale and have great flavor. I recommend those for your holiday nut tray or as a last-minute gift for friends and family.
Cookies
Nothing says the holidays like a great cookie! My favorite is the chocolate chip cookies; they have a soft buttery flavor that reminds me of home.
You can find BJs brand cookies in oversized packages at a reasonable price, perfect to share with friends and family during the holidays. My kids look forward to this cookie tray every year.
BJ's brand
BJ's brand is always my go-to for many items, including their maple syrup. You cannot beat the price! I love having it on hand for pancakes, desserts, and baking.
Plus, BJs brand items come with a 00% money-back guarantee.

Beverages
Holiday-themed beverages are the perfect ingredient to have on hand for entertaining during the holidays. It's a lovely festive change from regular breakfast drinks.
Of course, I love having their Spiced apple cider with caramel on hand, but they also carry this Pumpkin Spice Starbucks Creamer that is great to keep on hand for guests.
Candy Canes
I buy candy canes every year and like to buy them in bulk at BJs Wholesale Club. I also like buying them as gifts during the holidays, mainly because you get a discount if you buy them in bulk! They come in various flavors, and you can even find white chocolate candy canes.
Hershey's Kisses
Kisses are the perfect treat to give as a hostess gift or to say thank you during the holidays! You know everyone loves them, so they make the perfect stocking stuffer too!
Battery operated candles
Every year we buy battery-operated candles on our mantle and in the window. These last a long time and work perfectly without worrying about an open flame. I love having them for this reason, mainly because you never know when your power will go out during the holidays!
Cranberry Sauce
I bring cranberry sauce to dinner every year for Thanksgiving. It's a nice change from the traditional pumpkin pie, so I like having this on hand for my holiday meal. BJs has excellent deals on Jellied cranberry sauce, which is what I usually buy! You can find it in big containers that are great for entertaining.

Happy Holidays from our home to yours, Tasia

Only found them once about 3 or 4 years ago, but absolutely loved the tea cakes!! One year I looked at multiple BJ’s within about 50 miles of me and have never found them again (not to mention BJ’s bakery employees look at me like I have 2 heads when I ask about them) 😟
