I stopped by the Dollar Tree with my daughter just to pick up a couple of things. As usual though, many more items caught my eye. I found several things that I can use for upcoming projects. I bought this tinsel to make tinsel trees I saw last week in several linky parties. I cant think of who posted it off the top of my head, but when I make them, I will be sure to link to the orginal post.. They were gorgeous!
I found these cute clay ornaments. I have a couple of possible ideas for these.
I found a cup of snow in the holiday section and the face of the snowman inspired me to pick up some glassware to paint.
There was still a good size selection of ribbon that would be perfect for crafting or wrapping gifts.
I was excited about this find. They were several themed cupcake wrappers with coordinating picks for cupcake decorating. I also saw 4 pk treat boxes which would be perfect for those giving away cookies and other treats this Christmas.
In the book aisle, I found several Chicken Soup books that would make a nice gift for someone who could use a pick me up.
I was intrigued by the Poinsetta in a can. Supposedly you can grown a real poinsetta from what is in the can. I don't know if it will work our not, but for $1 I figured why not try it out. This could be a fun novelty gift, stocking stuffer or home school project. You will need to keep it away from your cats though, because real poinsettas can be dangerous to cats.
I am going to use these candy canes with my outside decor. It is worth $3 for some extra Christmas cuteness.
I am going to try and stay away from the Dollar Tree for at least a week or so. I know I will be back soon though, I saw several ideas for stocking stuffers.
