So since Christmas seems to be JUST around the corner i thought I would share a cool tip on gift giving... well more gift wrapping and where to get the best price.


When this beautiful season rolls around our hearts are full and our pocketbooks low, but can you blame us? Any excuse to do a little shopping is a valid one but shopping during this season for those we love seems to be the most rewarding. We take the time to find the 'perfect gift' no matter the cost and soon find ourselves with little to spare in coin when considering the packaging of our well thought out gift.

In past years I have even recycled old birthday bags or spend way to much on wrapping paper at the grocery store.... well NO MORE.

(Same wrapping paper as my local smiths but more variety FOR JUST $1)

I have learned that most grocery store or pharmacy locations (wallgreens, rideaid), where i seem to purchase my holiday trims, buy mainly from the same suppliers... including ALL A DOLLAR STORES. Thats right! No need to spend $4 or $5 on gift wrapping anymore if you can get the same stuff at your local Dollar store.

I recently went to my local Dollar Tree location and check out all the great quality items i found to wrap my gifts with this year:

  • These tin boxes make great gift containers without the use of tape or scissors. Just $1 each and they get pretty big.


  • The variety of Christmas bags were beautiful. Those and the gift tissue were YUP $1 compared to the big superstores who sell their gift bags for $2.99 or more.

  • Getting some a gift card? Well these gift card boxes will add just a little more festivity than a simple envelope. $1 each.

  • You cant have a gift without the gift tags! They have HUGE variety of sticker tags, tape and ribbon... just $1 PEOPLE!

  • If a garment is your gift, or in my case a garment i have made for someone, these boxes with meet your gift wrapping need! They come in packs of three and are also just $1. All you need is some tissue and your set.


  • Whats a gift without a bow? My dollar store sold these fancy kind in sets of 4 or large bags or ribbons which were the same brand my local grocery store carries. They weren't $2.99 though...



Go explore your dollar tree and see what fun things you find. You won't purchase from the drugstore again!

Making your well thought out gifts look awesome is just part of the fun of this holiday season. Dollar store DO have good quality so save that extra few dollars and get YOURSELF something pretty this season.
