Make a bunch of “snowballs” with yarn and a pompom maker. Put them together and decorate with Christmas embellishments. Something as simple as a hand soap can be converted into a creative little Snowman Christmas Gift. Properly place the candle inside the mitt, add the tissue in, tie the ornament and the black satin ribbon around to complete the look. I think it goes without saying I hit DT for tons of crafty items.
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. The total cost of this gift basket was $13 plus tax.

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. You can fill the toiletry bag with toothpaste, a travel toothbrush, small shampoo, little soaps, and other TSA-friendly supplies.
At Dollar Tree, they have tons of wine glasses and cocktail glasses with cute holiday sayings. Add a few of these glasses to a basket with a bottle of liquor. A small Christmas basket idea is a holiday baking basket. Try to add items they can use to make a specific type of baking goods. Such as cupcakes with cake mix, frosting, and cupcake liners. Who doesn’t love getting a basket filled with unique goodies made just for them?
Christmas Gifts from Dollar Tree

Follow along and I’ll teach you how to make Dollar Tree gift baskets with tons of different ideas to inspire you to create the perfect gifts this year. Plus a list of things to put in your gift baskets for each basket theme. Place some tissue paper in the bottom of a dollar store mixing bowl, and arrange all of the items on top.
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. So today I wanted to share how I put together inexpensive gift baskets and fun candy dishes with stuff from the Dollar Tree. Consider a car-care basket for dad or a cookie-making basket for a neighbor.
What's my home decor style?
You can finish the gift off with a handmade gift tag tied to one of the items, and wrap the whole thing in cellophane if desired. As you’re shopping, don’t forget to look for dry erase markers and erasers. These are often with the school supplies, and they can make great dollar store purchases. You can use them for this project or other “whiteboard” projects. Kids love them too—laminated workbooks last and last.
Both will look cute and are sure to be a hit with the teacher. Say thank you to your child’s teacher with a fun Teach Appreciation Gift. Give this teacher gift basket at the Holidays, End of the Year, or teacher appreciation week. Give the mom, friend, or girlfriend in your life the gift of relaxation with a Spa day gift basket. These are great Mother’s Day gifts or Birthday gifts.
Now for another great gift idea made from Dollar Tree stuff.
Tie cute pens or pencils together with a ribbon for a perfect package. I’ve found that you can find paint and other craft supplies at dollar stores. These aren’t always the highest quality, but they work well for wall art and items that don’t get handled often. For something like a shadow box wall hanging, you don’t need to have top-of-the-line craft supplies. It will turn out beautifully with inexpensive dollar store supplies. Create a Christmas-themed gift basket to bring when visiting friends and family for the holidays.
Look around the dollar store and get creative to make easy, inspired gift baskets for the whole family. When you package the items with a “theme,” the possibilities are endless. What you’ll really love is how easy & cheap gift baskets are to make once you have some inspiration. Use this list of DIY gift basket ideas to help you create the perfect present at your local Dollar Tree. But the best part is creating a basket filled with items your friends and family will be really excited to open. When putting together a gift basket, it is good to have a theme.
There are all kinds of things you can use as a “basket”. School supplies are always a welcomed teacher appreciation gift. You can ask your teacher what they need or just add a bunch of school supplies you pick up at dollar tree. Welcome friends and family to their new home with a basket of cleaning supplies they can use. We’ve tested Dollar Tree cleaning supplies and they work great! Do you have a wine or scotch lover your need a gift for?
Many dollar stores have small booklets that hold photos—a perfect gift for someone who lives far away. I like to buy stocking stuffer treats at the dollar store. Sometimes they have retro candy that you can’t find anywhere else too!
Fill a basket with lots of different balls and games. Another idea is to use foam floral blocks to fill up the bottom of the basket or bin. These can be found near the fake flower section in the store. You will want your gifts to show at the top of the basket so adding some fill or bulk at the bottom will help prop them up.
This can include chocolate, nail care items, candles, books, and cozy socks. Anything that encourages her to pamper and take care of herself. 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.
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. I don’t know about you guys but there is just something about a gift basket.
