Wife throws husband a surprise birthday party at Costco, his favorite store

WATCH: This woman staged a genius surprise party for her Costco-loving husband

For a person who loves shopping at Costco, there's no reason to have their birthday party anywhere else.

That was the thinking of Emma Blevins, a Tennessee woman who threw her husband, Clint Blevins, a surprise birthday party at a Costco store.

She said her inspiration for the party came from the fact that Clint Blevins shops at the warehouse store -- known for its bulk items -- at least once a week.

Emma Blevins coordinated ahead so that many of the couple's friends and family members would be at Costco the day of the party, pretending to be shopping.

In a video she shared on TikTok, Emma Blevins captured her husband looking shocked as he ran into friends and family throughout the store.
