The Cottage Toys Are Back

April 1st, 2008

While today’s blog might not be considered earth shattering, it might provide some hope for those folks still buried under a mountain of snow. If you’re looking for signs of spring forget the ground hog and head to Costco.

My favourite big box store for cottage accessories is once again for a mecca for cottage “must-haves.” The Hobie Cat wakeboards are back. I can’t say enough good things about these boards. I got mine there two years ago and LOVVVVE it. This year’s price is even lower than last year’s - how do they do it???

Life jackets, kayaks and Muskoka deck chairs for under $40 bucks a chair??? If only we had more deck. Walking into this industrial warehouse in the spring is almost as good as going to the Cottage Life Show. I know summer’s just around the corner when I see these items, including fishing rods, lining the shelves.

The May long weekend is now only 7 weeks away - how exciting is that? For those folks who still have snow on the ground take heart. Once the summer toys arrive at Costco you know spring is just around the corner.

What’s your favourite Costco toy?

Cheers,

Julie

PS - Mine’s my new lawn mower. Now if only I could find a place to fit a trampoline…..

    We got a Sea Doo Wetsuit last night for Alisa at Costco for $22.00. You don’t want to know what I paid for mine from Bombardier. They don’t have any blow up toys here but they have the Hobie wakeboards.

    Wow, $22 is a great deal. The blowups usually come in a little later on. All the more reason to keep going back.

    Cheers,
    Jules
