Outersparkle was invited to attend a media luncheon and tour of the store, received gifts and a gift card as compensation for time and travel. However all opinions expressed are 100% our own.

I recently had the opportunity to tour the BJ’s Wholesale Club to view there 2013 Holiday assortment. I was happy to be able to attend, and get the first look at what the wholesale club had to offer for this busy season. I love to give gifts as well as entertain, so I really loved the assortment of wonderfully packaged and ready to give gifts. Since I’m a chocolate lover (but who isn’t) one of my favorite gifting items is the Golden Elegance Gift Tower with Ghirardelli. Filled with 5 tiers of yummy treats for all to share (or not) with a great price point of only $34.99 or the 4 mug set for $19.99 these make great pull apart gifts too (teachers,coworkers).

As for entertaining the store had many choices,really to cater to all your needs. The 42 piece sweet & savory tasting set for $29.99 is a bargain! What a great staple to have for entertaining,perfect for hor d’oeuvres and cheese tastings. Another one of my favorites was the cheese cutting board,(which I happily accepted as a gift) perfect for the Entertainer! BJ’s also has a large assortment of frozen appetizers,ready to just heat and serve, taking lots of the holiday cooking/prep time out of the equation. Giving you more time to spend with loved ones.

Gifts are a plenty here,from clothes to books to electronics to toys to home decor and jewelry. With all the great prices and your holiday needs found in one place, why shop anywhere else?
