Costco Is Selling a Vintage-Inspired Holiday Bathroom Gem for Only $10
Many holiday decorations, adorable as they may be, aren’t necessarily functional. They add ambiance and cheer to your home, of course, which is great, but you can’t really do anything with that wreath or figurine other than admire how it looks. That’s why it’s great to jazz up everyday items around your home to fit the season, as it’ll be both useful and festive. That’s why I was excited to see this charming holiday soap set for sale at Costco. It makes both a lovely gift and a seasonal upgrade to your bathroom!
Why These Costco Holiday Hand Soaps Are So Great
Spotted in this video by Instagram user @costconewdeals, this four-pack of hand soaps from Costco features a retro holiday design. Each dispenser is white with red, green, and gold details. I honestly thought they were ceramic until I saw on the packaging that they’re made of plastic.
Each 21.5-fluid-ounce bottle has the soap’s scent (balsam fir, orange spice, vanilla bean, and winter berry) written in the kind of ornate red script you usually see in old-fashioned storybooks. There’s also a festive illustration on each one, like Christmas trees, ice skaters, and friendly squirrels holding ornaments. The whole set retails for just $9.99. It’s not the first year Costco has sold this set, and multiple commenters on @costconewdeals’ post said they’ve enjoyed gifting these soaps to family and neighbors in the past.
How to Make Your Own Holiday Soap Set
As popular as Costco is, I also recognize that not everyone lives near a Costco or wants to pay for a Costco membership. (For example, someone who lives alone might not need the bulk items, or maybe your work schedule makes it tough to do big in-person shopping trips.) While you can’t find this exact holiday soap set anywhere else right now, you can make your own in just a few simple steps.
No, this doesn’t mean learning how to hand-craft soap or sculpt your own containers. Simply pick up some festive pump bottles — like this two-set on Amazon for $19.99 — and a refill-size soap. Go with a classic, like Mrs. Meyer’s pine-scented soap ($16 for 33 ounces) or add some luxury with River Birch’s handmade balsam cedar soap ($25 for 32 ounces). If you’re looking for affordable, thoughtful gifts for friends or coworkers, a holiday soap set is nice, but one you’ve customized just for them could really make a splash. (You could also fill some with scented lotion, for added variety.)
