With Christmas and New Year just around the corner, are you looking to fulfill your children’s wish list? Costco, a warehouse-style chain store in the United States, has introduced some great value items that can serve as gift ideas for parents.
On Christmas Eve, it is said that Santa Claus rides his sleigh pulled by reindeer, loaded with gifts, to reward the children who have been good throughout the year. He quietly climbs down the chimney and places gifts in the stockings hung by the children at their bedsides before they go to sleep, eagerly awaiting the surprise when they wake up. Naturally, parents become the ones to play the role of Santa Claus in delivering gifts.
If you’re a parent wondering what to gift your child this Christmas and New Year, why not take a trip to Costco and see the range of value items available.
Gobankingrate has compiled a list of must-have items for parents during this Christmas and New Year season.

According to Costco, children will enjoy washing hands or fruits and vegetables in the farmhouse sink, placing pots on one of the two burners, practicing water filling the pot by pulling the faucet out from the wall, baking pretend meals in the oven, and checking the cooking progress with the lights on.
Gobankingrate reports that one benefit of purchasing this kitchen playset is that Costco is offering an online discount where you automatically save $20 when spending over $100, making the final price of this kitchen $89.99.
