It's best to get an assembly line going when putting the bags together. I made 30 candy filled ring holders putting a certain number of each kind of candy in each dish then stuffed the ring holders in the bag and tied it up. Start with the largest items and lean them against one side of the basket or stack them from the bottom. Add smaller items in between until you are happy with the look.
I put the car care gift basket together for a total price of $9 plus tax. Can't beat that for a cool guy gift and it looks totally awesome. If you want to put together a unique gift basket on a budget, consider theming your gift basket around a movie night! Dollar Tree has everything you need for a fun movie night at home. If you know someone who could use a little extra pampering, consider making them a self-care gift basket. Dollar Tree has a ton of great bath and body products that would work great for a self-care basket.

Small trivets also make lovely coasters to slip under houseplants and protect furniture during watering. The rest of the sign is made using inexpensive burlap and a Sharpie. I always like to check the towel and tablecloth sections at the dollar store. Sometimes you can find very affordable placemats and linens to reinvent into great DIY dollar store Christmas gifts.
I selected a turquoisy green catchall container for this gift basket. I gathered flip flops, 2 bottles of nail polish, nail brushes, mini ped egg, manicure set, a fun scented candle, and a bright Lei. It helps to go with a specific color scheme when selecting your items. Nine items including the basket means $9 plus tax. This one is perfect for a friend, teenager, etc.
DIY Dollar Store Gift Ideas
Not sure what to call it but you need something to pull the gift basket together like a liner. Use cloth napkins, scarves, cloth shop towels, washcloths, etc. to cover the bottom of the basket and the sides. This adds softness and something to kind of snuggle the gift items in. The total cost of this gift basket was $13 plus tax.
When autocomplete results are available use up and down arrows to review and enter to select. Touch device users, explore by touch or with swipe gestures. Keep an eye out for other coloring items like markers, dry erase pens, and chalk as well. Posterboard, rolls of wrapping paper, and drawing pads can be great, inexpensive Christmas gifts for little artists.
Santa Belt Jar
Dollar stores often carry a wide selection of scented candles, plain tapers, and even glass jarred “prayer-type” candles. All of these can make lovely gifts on their own or fancied up for a DIY holiday present. Notebooks make great gifts, and the dollar store often has art paper, brushes, and even paint. Stickers abound, and folders, scissors, glue, and other supplies are easy to find. Any of these make excellent dollar store Christmas gift ideas or excellent stocking stuffers.
So today I wanted to share how I put together inexpensive gift baskets and fun candy dishes with stuff from the Dollar Tree. The first set of dollar store gift ideas are DIY ideas, but they don’t require a lot of skill or supplies . If you have some time and creativity, you can make really wonderful gifts from items that won’t cost you a lot. Homemade gifts also have a personal touch that you can’t beat. Everyone loves a gift knowing someone took time to create it just for them.
At least it let them know we appreciate them. Next Dollar Tree gift basket is for the Pedicure fan. In this case I used a Lei to soften the look of the gift basket. You should always include things with texture in the basket.
A lot of these would also make great hostess gifts or Secret Santa gifts. Snow Caps, wintergreen gum, Santa hat kisses, Reese's Christmas trees, fun flavored candy canes, and Coke Chapsticks, and chocolate Santas. It also provided a cute bucket for the Mom's of the kids and grandkids to use this coming year. Keep in mind that these baskets are just to give you ideas. You can customize a gift basket for your child's teacher, your neighbor, the postman , your grandkids, etc. The Dollar Tree is full of pretty things along with practical items that can easily make a gift basket unique.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun to give people luxury items and fun gifts they would never buy themselves. But there’s something purposeful about a gift you know the recipient will use over and over again. Have fun finding color coordinated items to go in this basket! This can include chocolate, nail care items, candles, books, and cozy socks. Anything that encourages her to pamper and take care of herself.
Wall art always makes a wonderful personal gift. These monogrammed burlap signs can be framed in dollar store document frames. Occasionally dollar stores will also carry framed art or mirrors, which you can purchase and re-use for the frame.
Since I did this gift basket during the holidays, I added cute holiday cups and hot cocoa packets. Once you have your basket filled with car wash supplies, it’s time to decorate! My favorite way to decorate all my DIY gifts is with a cute and festive gift tag. But what I love the most about this quick and easy present is that you can customize it for your gift recipient. These toys are perfect for Christmas party gift exchanges. You can also make a festive gift basket with these themed toys and add some other kids’ stuff like small clothing items, chocolates, etc.
