7 Dollar Tree Holiday Buys That Look Way More Expensive Than $1.50

The most wonderful time of the year doesn’t have to be the most expensive if you know what to look for and where to shop. Even though Dollar Tree has raised its prices, you can still find plenty of holiday deals that will look like you spent more than $1.50.

Whether you’re looking for ornaments, stocking stuffers or holiday decor, Dollar Tree might just have what you need, minus the sticker shock.

Christmas House Socks

  • Price: $1.50

Staying cozy this winter doesn’t have to cost a fortune. These Christmas House socks from Dollar Tree cost just $1.50 and come in several fun holiday designs. They’re also surprisingly similar to these holiday socks from Old Navy, which retail for $5.99 each (but are currently on sale for $3). Grab a pair for each stocking you’re planning to stuff or make it part of your Christmas morning pajamas. Either way, you’re saving an extra 50% off compared with Old Navy’s sale price on similar socks.

Christmas House Reindeer Christmas Ball Ornament

  • Price: $1.50

Finding quality Christmas ornaments at Dollar Tree can be hit or miss sometimes, but these reindeer ball ornaments look far more expensive than their $1.50 price tag. These ornaments from Dollar Tree have a cut-out detail and feature glitter to make your Christmas tree shine even brighter. Plus, they’re more affordable than a similar ornament set from Hobby Lobby that retails for $8.99. 

Christmas Large Gift Bag

  • Price: $1.50

If gift wrapping isn’t your thing, you’re likely buying gift bags to make the joy of gift-giving a little easier. However, large gift bags from stores like Target can cost $3 to $5 each. Save money on presents by opting for the large gift bags from Dollar Tree instead. At $1.50 each, that cuts your price down by at least 50% compared with many options at Target. You won’t sacrifice on quality either, since Dollar Tree’s version has cheerful holiday messages with metallic detailing that looks more expensive than it actually is. 

Christmas Character Stocking

  • Price: $1.50

Hang these stockings by the chimney with care and sleep well knowing you didn’t spend much to put them there. These Christmas character stockings from Dollar Tree are a fraction of the cost compared with these stockings from Wayfair, which are currently on sale for $14.99. The Dollar Tree version comes in three designs, including Santa, a snowman and a reindeer. Even if you bought all three, it would still come out to about a quarter of Wayfair’s price. 

Snowflakes Printed Christmas Mug

  • Price: $1.50

Swap out your everyday mugs for seasonal drinkware to add some extra holiday joy. Although these snowflake printed Christmas mugs cost only $1.50, they look like they cost much more. Turn your hot cocoa, tea or coffee into a picture-perfect winter treat without spending tons on seasonal mugs that come out of the cabinet only once a year. 

Bluey and Frosty Play With Stickers

  • Price: $1.50

Dollar Tree is the perfect store to pick up stocking stuffers that the kids will love. For example, these holiday play sticker books come in two designs — Frosty the Snowman and Bluey. Kids can add these stickers to coloring books, lunch boxes or their little hands. And you’ll rest easy knowing you didn’t blow your budget on the little things. 

Christmas House 3D Character Wall Decor

  • Price: $1.50

Deck the halls without falling for expensive Christmas decor. Use these 3D wall decor pieces from Dollar Tree to welcome guests to your home, set a holiday dinner table or create a Christmas craft project. These come in two designs — Santa and a snowman. They have 3D details that make them look more expensive than your average Dollar Tree sign.
