10 Genius Dollar Tree Gift Ideas That Look Like Designer

If you need a gift that looks expensive but costs almost nothing, every single one of these 10 gifts came from Dollar Tree and each one only takes a few minutes to put together. And make sure you stay for the last idea because it actually glows. It's so pretty. Let's start with this one because I love how it turned out. I grabbed two of these square jars from Dollar Tree with rose gold lids. The lids are what sold me on these and they kind of have an iridescent look to them. They're so gorgeous. To me they look so much more expensive than they actually are. I also grabbed these festive marshmallows from Dollar Tree and filled one of the jars with them and then the other one with hot chocolate mix. Then I went looking for something to hold them and I found this tray in the office section at Dollar Tree and lo and behold both of the jars fit perfectly inside like it was made for them. I added a little bit of red paper shred around the jars, tied everything together with some ribbon and tucked in a cinnamon stick and some greenery. My favorite festive ribbon is from Amazon and I'll make sure to link it down in the description box below. I think this is the kind of gift set you'd see at a specialty shop for $30, $40. It's so perfect for teachers, neighbors, and anyone who loves a cozy night in. It costs me less than $10. This glass and brass box was such a great find from Dollar Tree. When I saw it on the shelf, I thought it was from a home decor boutique. It was so pretty. It was in the new $5 section and I thought it was definitely worth the cost and another item that looks so much more expensive than it actually is. I printed out a few family photos sized to fit inside. I made them four by four inches and then I layered them in so you can see them through the glass. Next, I tied some ribbon around the box and added some greenery on top. I love that this isn't just a gift that they're going to open and put away. It's something that they can actually keep out on display. I think it would look so beautiful on a coffee table or on a bookshelf. This would be such a sweet gift for grandparents or for a parent who has everything. Total cost, only about $7. This next one is so easy, but I think it looks so cute. I rolled up one of these festive dish towels from Dollar Tree and set it right beside a bottle of hand soap. I also found this from Dollar Tree and my tip is to look for soaps in the darker bottles. They look so much more high-end than the clear ones or ones with a lot of branding. Then I tied these two items together with some ribbon and tucked in a dried orange slice and a bit of greenery. That's it! Something so everyday suddenly looks like a cute boutique gift. This is a perfect one when you need a few gifts at once, like if you want to hand out some gifts for neighbors, co-workers, or your child's teachers. And this one cost me less than five dollars. I could not believe this candle was from Dollar Tree. It has this gorgeous fluted glass, a gold lid, and it actually smells really good. It has this beautiful woodsy cedar scent to make it look even more high end. I decided to add a faux gold wax seal to the front. It's actually just a little sticker from Amazon. But look at the difference it makes. I think it makes this look like a boutique candle. I placed it in a cellophane bag along with a gold candle snuffer also from Dollar Tree, then I tied the top with some ribbon and finished it with a dried orange slice and some more faux greenery. I think candles are one of those gifts that almost everyone loves and this one looks like it cost so much more than it did. Altogether this gift cost me less than eight dollars. All right, this might be my favorite gift idea on this whole list. I started with a simple white plate from Dollar Tree. Then I pulled up a photo of our house and used it as a guide to draw it right in the center with a ceramic pen. I found this pen on Amazon. I chose green for the color. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just needs to be a simple sketch and that's gonna be what makes it look so charming. If you can draw a few lines and squares, you can totally do this. To make it look like an old fashioned plate, I added some dots, some lines, some leaves and waves around the edge. You can be creative with this part. Now imagine giving this to someone with their own house on it. It would be such a special personalized gift for grandparents or for someone who just bought their first home or even for your neighbor. If you want the design to last longer, you can bake it in the oven. Just follow the directions on your ceramic pen. I finished this one off by tying it with some ribbon, adding some greenery and an orange slice. I got this idea from SewBakeMake on Instagram so definitely go give her a follow. I thought this was super duper cute. Because I had to buy the pen, this one cost me less than $20. This next gift looks like something you'd find in a gourmet shop or a little boutique. I found some dried rosemary at Dollar Tree and I used a funnel to add it to one of their glass oil bottles. Then I topped it up with some olive oil and gave it a good shake so everything mixed nicely together. You're going to want to do this a couple months in advance of gifting it so that the rosemary infuses into the olive oil and gives it a beautiful flavor. Around the neck of the bottle, I tied some ribbon, added a dried orange slice, a little greenery, and a tag that says rosemary olive oil. I have this as a free download on my blog and I'll make sure to link that in the description box below if you want to use it for your own DIY olive oil gift. I think this is such a great hostess gift because it's something they'll actually use when they cook. And this one cost me less than ten dollars. I love giving gifts that feel cozy and this one is just so cute. I folded up a pair of these fuzzy festive socks from Dollar Tree, then layered this little snowman tray right on top, also from Dollar Tree, in their Christmas section. On top of that, I added a lip balm and a Hershey's kiss. I tied everything together with some ribbon, added some greenery, and finished it off with a little gift tag. You can print these tags for free from my blog and I'll link them down in the description box below. This is such a cute little cozy stack and it would be perfect for a friend, a co-worker, a teacher, or as a little stocking stuffer. And this one was only around $7. $7. I could not believe Dollar Tree has this clear casserole dish. It's so pretty. It was on the end of one of their aisles in the $5 section. Inside, I placed a bag of brownie mix along with a printed copy of the instructions, so everything they need is right there. Then I tied ribbon and a little bell around the handle on the lid and tucked in some festive spatulas, also from Dollar Tree. What I love about this one is it's like giving two gifts in one. They get a treat to I like to bake now and a beautiful dish they'll keep using all year. This one was around $10. Now this gift is perfect for anyone who loves to cook or bake. I folded one of these Christmas towels and set it on a bamboo cutting board from Dollar Tree then added a couple of festive spatulas on top. Next I tied everything together with some velvet ribbon and finished it with a gift tag and a cute little bell also from Dollar Tree. This idea is so simple but it's something they'll actually use and the velvet ribbon makes it feel so special. All for about six dollars. And here's the one I've been saving for last because it just looks so magical. I started with this round jar with a snowflake design on it from Dollar Tree. I love the shape of it and it looks so festive. I added some white paper shred to the bottom, then filled it up with some lip balm, hand lotion, and some chocolates, all from Dollar Tree. Then I tucked in a string of battery twinkle lights and turned them on. Around the neck of the jar, I tied some ribbon with an orange slice and And added some faux greenery for that beautiful festive touch. Now here's the magic part. Right before you hand it over to the recipient, turn the beautiful lights on. I love how this glows like a beautiful Christmas snow globe. I think this gift is going to get the biggest reaction out of all of these. And this one cost me less than $10.
