As a Costco employee of 20 years, I'm always keeping an eye out for new items.

From a portable sauna to a cute waffle maker, here are eight of the best things I'm seeing on shelves this month.

The Blueair mini air purifiers are great for cold and flu season.

The Blueair mini air purifiers are a great way to help clear your space of dust, pollen, cooking odors, pet dander, certain bacteria and viruses, and other pollutants.

Each box contains two super quiet units, which can be placed in one larger space or separate rooms.

Get ready for winter with the 32 Degrees women's quilted jackets.

Although Costco has a great selection of winter coats, the 32 Degrees quilted women's jackets really caught my eye.

These chic jackets come in white, black, and green colors, and range in size from extra small to 3XL.

The Dash Disney waffle maker makes breakfast more fun.

As a longtime Costco employee, I always love seeing the new iterations of Dash waffle makers that appear from time to time.

This month, I saw a cute Disney-themed version, which includes plates with characters like Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald Duck. To make things even more fun, there are two overflow channels that turn excess batter into dippable waffle sticks.

The Omni Heat personal heaters are great for the cold months.

These digital heaters use a ceramic heating element to create even, consistent heat throughout any indoor space. Each box comes with two compact heaters, each with four settings.

I really like that these have safety features like a childproof lock and tip-over prevention for extra piece of mind.

The Homedics portable steam sauna seems like a great deal.

If you're looking for a fuss-free way to experience the luxury of a sauna at home, I recommend checking out this option from Homedics.

The tented steam sauna is easily to assemble — no tools required — and can be ready for use in just 15 minutes.

For $280, each bundle comes with a tent, steamer, folding chair, and storage bag.

This lighted makeup case is great for traveling.

This lighted makeup case is a great way to keep your beauty products organized while traveling. The box-style case has adjustable dividers, making it easy to customize to fit your favorite products.

I also like that the case has a rechargeable lighted mirror with three different settings.

Kevin's simmer sauces make cooking a breeze.

Kevin's simmer sauces are a smart solution for anyone looking to turn simple proteins or vegetables into a delicious meal within minutes.

These gluten- and soy-free sauce packets come in two flavors: teriyaki and Thai coconut.
