Dollar Store Holiday Mug & Candy Gift Idea
The Dollar Tree really stepped up their Christmas mug game this year. Maybe I just went by there too late last year, but I saw so many more cute holiday mugs this time around.
I put a box of holiday M&M’s in the mug and then tied a cute little red bow on the handle. It was as easy as that!
Here are a few other items from the dollar store you could stash in a mug:
- Socks (They have both Christmas socks & fluffy cozy socks for around the house.)
- Bath and body products like lotion, bath bombs, shower gel, etc.
- Hot cocoa or tea packets
- Nail file, nail polish or manicure toolset
- Sewing kit
- Flashlight
If you have a few extra bucks to spend, here are my $5 Mug Gift Ideas From the Dollar Tree.
Dollar Tree Peppermint Bark In A Mason Jar Gift
So I kept seeing peppermint bark gifts in a jar on Pinterest. They were actually making their own homemade peppermint bark for the gift, but I really wanted something quick you guys could make.
I thought hmm, why don’t we cheat a bit…
In the Christmas section of the Dollar Tree, I stumbled across these Palmer peppermint bark bars.
When I saw them I was skeptical, truth be told I thought they were going to taste bad lol. They were surprisingly quite yummy and didn’t taste any different than a Hershey’s white chocolate peppermint bar I ate a few weeks earlier.
Helpful Tidbit: The key to making the peppermint bark look more homemade is tearing them into uneven pieces, not leaving them in the little squares.
If you’ve ever seen homemade peppermint bark, the pieces look imperfect.
So little confession here, I actually spent $3 on this gift because I had to use two bars of peppermint bark, whoops!
And finally…
To make the mason jar a little more festive, I tied a ribbon around it and added a Dollar Tree ornament. Cute right?
