Costco isn't just paper towels and rotisserie chickens; it's quietly one of the best places to treat yourself without hindering your financial fitness. This August, the warehouse is stocked with the kind of small splurges that feel far more expensive than they ring up: designer ballet flats, prestige skincare, a Staub mini Dutch oven, and desserts worth clearing freezer space for.
Our August roundup of 12 little luxuries with prices running from under $16 to a couple of splurge-worthy over $100 deals is worth checking out. A few are limited-time buys, so the pretty things won't sit around long.
Editor's note: Prices and availability are subject to change and may vary by location.
Flora Nikrooz Women's 3-Piece PJ Set
Price: $15.99
Consider this the softest $16 you'll spend all month. The three-piece set pairs a cami, pants, and a coordinating top, so you can mix and match your way through a whole weekend of doing absolutely nothing.
With more than 1,590 member reviews, it's one of Costco's most-loved loungewear buys — proof that a little everyday luxury doesn't have to cost a lot.
Native Cashmere & Vanilla Shampoo & Conditioner
Price: $29.99
Turn an ordinary shower into something that smells like a boutique hotel. This Native duo layers cashmere and vanilla into a warm, cozy scent, and the set includes two full 34-ounce bottles — enough to keep you stocked for months.
At roughly $15 a bottle for salon-sized packaging, it's a low-stakes way to upgrade a part of your routine you already do every day.
A'cappella Cheesecake Truffle Collection
Price: $39.99
When you want to feel fancy without booking a reservation, a box of 24 cheesecake truffles does the trick. They're bite-sized, giftable, and just as at home on a dinner-party platter as they are hidden in the back of your fridge for a private treat.
For under $40, it's the kind of little luxury that makes an ordinary Tuesday feel like an occasion.
RapidLash Eyelash Enhancing Serum
Price: $49.99
If your lashes could use a boost, this is the cult favorite to reach for — RapidLash has racked up more than 7,500 Costco reviews, a staggering number for a beauty buy. The set includes two tubes, so you're covered for the better part of a year.
Split across two, that's about $25 a tube for a nightly ritual that feels distinctly high-maintenance in the best way.
Yankee Candle 60 oz Jar Candle
Price: $49.99
A candle this size is less an accessory and more a commitment. At 60 ounces, this Yankee Candle jar is roughly triple the standard large size, with enough burn time to carry a room through the whole season.
It's the sort of cozy splurge that makes a house feel finished — and at $49.99 for that much candle, the math works in your favor.
Ted Baker Women's Ballerina Flat
Price: $56.99
A designer label at a Costco price is exactly the kind of sleeper deal worth pouncing on. These Ted Baker ballerina flats bring the London brand's polished, feminine styling to an everyday shoe you can wear to the office or to brunch.
At $56.99, they're a genuine little luxury for your feet — and a fraction of what the name usually commands at department stores.
Baggallini Anti-Theft Explorer Slim Crossbody Bag
Price: $59.99
Practical and pretty aren't mutually exclusive, and this Baggallini crossbody proves it. Built with anti-theft touches like locking zippers and slash-resistant fabric, it's the bag you'll want for travel, errands, or a day at the market.
It's currently a special-event price through August 30, so if a hands-free upgrade is on your list, now's the moment to grab it.
Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Brightening Serum
Price: $64.99
Prestige skincare is where Costco quietly shines. A single 1-ounce bottle of this vitamin C ester serum runs $75 direct from Perricone MD — and Costco's set gives you two bottles for $64.99.
That's two full bottles for less than the price of one elsewhere, which makes glow-boosting, brightening skincare feel a lot less indulgent.
David's Cookies Variety Cheesecakes
Price: $69.99
For the dessert lover who likes options, this two-pack delivers 28 slices across an assortment of cheesecake flavors — enough to cover a party or stash for months of after-dinner treats.
It's earned a 4.5-star average from hundreds of Costco members, and at roughly $2.50 a slice, it's a showstopper that costs less than a single slice at most restaurants.

Apple AirTag 5-Pack Bundle
Price: $99.99
Never tear the house apart looking for your keys again. This bundle pairs Apple's four-pack of AirTags with an extra single tag (five in total), so you can track keys, bags, luggage, and the remote that always goes missing.
Apple charges $99 for the four-pack alone; Costco tosses in the fifth tag for essentially the same price.
AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation
Price: $148.99
The tech splurge that actually earns its keep, AirPods 4 add active noise cancellation to Apple's most comfortable open-ear design. They're the kind of everyday upgrade you'll reach for on every flight, walk, and phone call.
Apple lists them at $179; Costco's $148.99 price trims about $30 off gear that rarely goes on sale.
Staub Macaron Ceramic Mini Dutch Oven and Bowl Set
Price: $179.99
Save the prettiest splurge for last. This 12-piece Staub set pairs enameled ceramic mini cocottes with coordinating bowls in the brand's signature glossy finish — the kind of serveware that makes even a simple soup feel like a dinner party.
It's the priciest pick on our list at $179.99, and it's a special-event buy ending August 2, so serious home cooks shouldn't dawdle.
Bottom line
From a $16 pajama set to a showpiece Staub collection, Costco's August lineup proves a little luxury doesn't require a splurge-level budget. Stock up on the finds that make your everyday feel a bit more special, and remember that using one of the best cash back credit cards is a smart way to make your money go further.
