The photo above shows how the basket looked after I got it together. Very Uptown for less than $15 and such nice items, fun and useful. This popcorn gift basket is quick and easy to make with free printable labels. The gal behind Petticoat Junktion and I love decorating my home. I find fun things at thrift stores, junk shops, and flea markets and make them better. I started with the tallest and biggest things in the back of the bucket then filled in the other stuff on the sides and front.
I used the smiley paper to showcase these goodies in a plastic box I also got at the Dollar Tree. The second basket is a car kit for under the seat. One that has a few items in case of emergency repairs maybe.
Gingerbread Man Painted Jar
Almost everyone appreciates them because they’re useful and practical. These also make great dollar store party favor ideas or white elephant gifts. If you’re looking for an inexpensive secret Santa gift, this is a good one. On a rare occasion, you may find shadowboxes at the dollar store. If you happen to find one, purchase it right away! Otherwise, you can also create a DIY shadow box out of a wooden box or deep frame.
You can get a lot of inexpensive Mother's Day and Graduation Day gift ideas right here! The gifts are fabulous and not like cheap gift bags at all. I always want my gifts to be thoughtful and personalized to the recipient. I Believe it or not there are some people who don't like junky, rusty, metal, vintage, thrifty stuff like you and I do.
DIY Dollar Store Gift Ideas
The possibilities are nearly endless, whether you use Sharpies, paint, or something else. Another great find at the dollar store is candles. Look for the plain “prayer-type” candles and small votives, jar candles, and more. You can make all sorts of wonderful candle gifts from these tall blank candles, which often come in white. Make your own hot chocolate basket with this easy gift idea.
While their food and baking aisle are limited, you can still find a bunch of exceptional baking items that would go together well in a gift basket. Make awesome Candy Trays out of those cute and funny little trays Dollar Tree sells, and give them to a big sweet tooth. Glue the round ornament to the base of the pot. Fill the ornament with sprinkles and close its lid.
Santa Belt Jar
However, they can quickly add up to be quite expensive if you aren’t careful. Thankfully, The Dollar Tree makes it easy to throw together the perfect gift basket. Check the floral supplies for river rocks and stones. You can use them to make this cute river rock trivet that’s perfect for absolutely any kitchen.
Tie cute pens or pencils together with a ribbon for a perfect package. We all have a busy friend on our list who loves to budget and meal plan. This wipe-off weekly menu board can be a great gift that everyone will adore. This is very simple to make using dollar store craft supplies. Try to match the board to the recipient’s kitchen and taste.
Car Wash Bucket Gift
You can find a lot of cool bags even big gift bags. Take into consideration what you might put into the basket and select the appropriate size. Or another idea might be to gather all the items you want to put into the basket then pick the basket. Easy to make gift basket of cookie cutters, cookie dough mix and decorations. The dollar store also has scented items like potpourri and air fresheners.
If you have a scent-lover on your Christmas list, the dollar store will have you covered. The great thing about beauty gifts is that they’re perfectly appropriate on their own. You can stock up on several of them in case you need a quick item to give to a teacher, a delivery person, or the neighbor who surprises you. These also make great housewarming presents and hostess gifts from the dollar store.
If you can’t find paper shreds, tissue paper is another great filler option. Just ball up the tissue paper and place it in the bottom of the basket until it’s full. The first basket I made was for the guy who cleans and shines his car from top to bottom every week.
Once your basket is filled, it’s time to start adding all the carwash supplies into the top of the basket. I started with the larger items, including the car wash soap and tire foam. I also added the scrubbing glove to the back of the basket since it was pretty big.
Dollar Tree has expanded their craft section since I made this gift basket. There are supplies there for kids and adults of all ages. We put this together for a birthday gift and included a Michael’s Craft Store gift card. I made cute little candy trays and they were a hit with the nursing home residents, staff, and a bunch of my friends too! You can make these simple Dollar Tree Candy Tray Gifts for less than $2 each. These gifts were made at Christmas time but keep in mind this idea can be tweaked for anytime of year.
