5 Dollar Tree Items That Make Great Gifts

Buying gifts can get expensive, but you don't have to drain your savings account to do something special for friends and loved ones. 

In fact, Dollar Tree has many great gift options that are worth considering. You can get these items for just a $1.25 charge on your credit card, but the gift recipients will often think they cost much more.

Here are a few examples of Dollar Tree items that make really great presents. 

1. Fragrance warmers 

Fragrance warmers can be a great decor item and they also allow you to give your home a relaxing spa-like atmosphere by burning a nice scent. Unfortunately, they aren't cheap, with a price tag that often tops $12 or more on Amazon. 

That's why the Dollar Tree warmers make such a great gift. Dollar Tree has a good selection, including some seasonal summer bee fragrance warmers, that actually look more expensive than their costlier counterparts. 

Check out this option as a great gift idea for friends or loved ones who enjoy scented candles or wax warmers as a part of their self-care. 

2. Mugs

A nice mug for coffee or tea can make a great gift, and you can find a good selection of them at Dollar Tree. For example, fathers may appreciate a 16-ounce themed stoneware mug proclaiming them the "Best. Dad. Ever." And monogrammed mugs could be a cute gift for newlyweds.  

Check out your local Dollar Tree's many available mugs to see if you can find one that would be a good fit for your recipient.

3. Picture frames

Picture frames allow you to decorate and preserve memories at the same time. They can also be expensive though, just like the other items on this list. But if you find one at the Dollar Tree, you'll pay very little.

If you're looking for a fun and meaningful gift, consider buying a Dollar Tree frame and adding a picture of yourself and the recipient (or another picture you know would be special to the person you're buying the gift for, such as one of their pets or children). Frames from Dollar Tree come in all different colors and sizes, as well as in different materials, including wood and metal. 

4. Foam gliders

If you are buying a gift for the children in your life, Dollar Tree has a huge selection of toys you can check out -- many of which make great presents for kids of all ages. The foam glider airplanes are an especially great option because they're a quiet toy parents will love and they provide endless hours of fun. 

Kids who receive these as a gift will hopefully be so excited to go outside and see how they fly, they'll be more than willing to get outdoors and away from their screens to try them out.

5. Attractive vases 

Dollar Tree also has many vases to choose from, including some really stylish ones that will be a great addition to anyone's decor. Check out a fun iridescent vase or one of the many other ones in the Tree's selection. Add a small bouquet of flowers to the vase to make the gift even more meaningful. 

Each of these Dollar Tree items has a low price, but looks impressive and is likely to be well received. Check out these options so you can find one that works for you.
