If anyone is looking for a unique gift, Costco is offering a shaved ice machine for $50 off until 12/11/18. I gave something similar as a gift to DC a couple of years back and it was a huge hit. This one has really good reviews and uses ice cubes instead of solid blocks of ice. I also went on Snowie's website and it looks like the included flavors don't contain high fructose corn syrup. As a reference, Bed Bath and Beyond has the machine, 8 spoons, and 6 sample size flavors for $199.99. Select details about the Costco deal are as follows.
