**Dollar Tree Haul: Unboxing and Reviewing the Season's Best Finds**
As I stepped into the Dollar Tree, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. Would this trip bring home some amazing treasures that would elevate my crafting game? I was determined to find out.
First up, I grabbed what caught my eye - a blue ribbon with a fun design. "All blue one is very pretty," I exclaimed, holding it up for inspection. The store associate confirmed that these ribbons were not in the holiday section, so I had to hunt them down in the floral section instead. It was a great reminder of the importance of labels and how they can tell us where things are and how long they'll be there.
I also picked up some more ribbons - including green gingham and red gingham - which I suspected were hiding gems in their designs. "These are not in the holiday section so go hunt for these in the floral section," I advised, as if I was sharing a secret with my readers. These little nuances can make all the difference when it comes to finding the perfect craft supply.
Next, I stumbled upon a whole box of ribbons that looked suspiciously like some of the ones I'd already picked up from Hobby Lobby. "This one's kind of hard to see," I joked, as I tried to get a better look at the label. But despite the struggles, this ribbon caught my eye - it was like a little bundle of joy wrapped in red and green. The wire trim made it easy to mold into whatever craft project I had in mind.
One ribbon really stood out from the rest: "Santa is just absolutely darling," I cooed, holding up an image of a festive red ribbon with gold accents. And then there was another ribbon that impressed me - its glittery green stripes were truly breathtaking. While it wasn't perfect (it lacked centering and clear font), this little gem still won me over.
I also snagged some smaller goodies - like a few Christmas bells in different colors, including one that caught my eye with a fun candy-cane theme. And because I'm always on the lookout for unique crafting supplies, I picked up a gingerbread-themed ribbon set with a fun plaid pattern. The gold accents added an extra touch of sophistication to this little bundle of crafty joy.
As I wandered through the store, I kept my eyes peeled for any other hidden gems. And when I spotted a brand-new Bic pen with a nifty design, I couldn't resist - it's been years since they've released one like it! I also picked up some fun felt stickers in gingerbread shapes - perfect for kids' crafts and DIY projects.
But the real coup de grâce was when I stumbled upon another batch of Christmas bells. "I thought that I did so also have them in red," I laughed, remembering my earlier search. And to prove it, I headed back to find not one, but two more sets of these adorable little bells. I envisioned strapping a few to the headboard of my guest bedroom and draping garland around them - what a cozy touch!
And so, that's it for today's Dollar Tree haul! From ribbons to felt stickers, I've got all the inside scoop on this year's best finds. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just starting out, these supplies are sure to bring a little joy and creativity into your life.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right foreign I normally do not do Dollar Tree hauls on a Saturday but for my mental health that's what we're gonna do today because the good Lord knows I've been trying to decorate this house for Christmas and every attempt I've made like something's gone wrong and I'm like okay today is also not that day yeah I just I don't know what it is this year I usually always have it together I always have a vision a lot of you know how I shop now with my list on my iPhone and it's really been like my Saving Grace and um especially with like just trying to you know be prepared to give you guys content and it has just not worked out so so we'll we'll see so anyways we're gonna do a Dollar Tree haul this one I'm excited to share with you guys because I've been holding on to some of the Christmas cards and I'm excited to show you guys what I found also if you missed my YouTube live I'll link it down below go watch it it was my first Christmas jump Journal video with you guys and yeah so you're going to probably see these Christmas cards in the next YouTube live which will be next Friday but you know what I always say these for the very end but let's just look at them immediately so I love getting cards at Dollar Tree they are so cute I'm still waiting for the hand why do I call them handmade I think maybe like the sticker or something on the packaging says they're handmade but they come individually packaged um in like plastic wrapping whereas these are like just in the card section um the bigger ones are one dollar and then the smaller ones are 50 cents just FYI so I found this one I believe this is a brand new card design so write this on your list because it is so cute it's just like that typical little snowy Valley you just like want to drive through it's very much you know Hallmark and I love that um it kind of reminds me of kjp did I say his initials right it kind of like reminds me of where he lives if you don't know who I'm talking about he's on Instagram at least that's what I know him for but I think they have their own like store where they live and it's just I think their house is like iconic actually like when you see a valley with the pumpkins kind of thing it's like his house um but I'm probably making no sense so anyways I thought this card was super cute here's the inside lining so from a jerk journaling perspective there's a lot of space to ride on you can even cover this up if you wanted to and have more space to write on so I'm gonna use that for mine during my life I was asked if I could do an entire Dollar Tree haul dedicated just two items from Dollar Tree that could be used for Junk journaling for the lady who requested it I got you Wednesday's Haul is going to be all that so turn your bells on here's this one this one made a another appearance it's been around for several years as it should because I love the chalkboard look to this it is a beautiful card and stunning in person there's something about Glitter in person that really does kind of like change the card because when I go when I go to edit it just it's different in person okay then we have this wait hang on this card right here now this one I believe is also a repeat um I think it was out last year and I really like Santa and the design because it looks very vintage and that's like one of my biggest like passions with Dollar Tree I love to hunt down anything that's vintage or just how's that look because it's nothing in there isn't even it's all new production but there it is all right then I found this card and I really liked the whole plaid pattern now it says to Dad which is great like if you want to send this off to your dad like do that but from a junk journaling perspective this is a really great card um because they block it in a way that you can cover this up easily so I really like that so I'm definitely going to use this in my junk journal and then um here's this one anything with like those little townhouses I absolutely adore this has like a nice blue you know sky and wow it's all blue on the inside I really love like those cute little details so I found that one and then this one hang on I grabbed a couple of like questionable ones that you guys seem to like want me tall um from like Thanksgiving ones I found but here's this one which is a gorgeous card like this is just stunning and grab it for your junk Journal because I'm definitely going to be adding it to mine and yeah it's just it's beautiful oh I just noticed something yeah a lot of them have like a scripture on the inside that is really cute I didn't did they do that to like all of them or no but this one has it too right here in the corner um here's another really cute one um this one says for Dad now again I am planning on using it for Junk journaling but I just thought the little bird house and the little birds were so stinking cute I love all the snow in this but this is my point when I show you guys cards like this now see in this instance they grouped everything together and blocked it with a white backdrop easy to cover now this one is the kind where you're gonna kind of have to cut around it so if that makes sense all right then I picked up this one this one's another repeat I probably have several of these but it's one of my top faves if not number one so absolutely love it I will say this I feel like Halloween still takes the cake with the cards Dollar Tree had so many and so many amazing ones and so far I'm just I there's there's more Christmas cards that are a flop than a success for me so all right then this one's pretty random but I had to show you guys how adorable this card is I'm definitely going to be journaling with this maybe for either my December daily because Micah's birthday is in December so I could use a cute little card like this now it says yeah it says for the birthday girl so that's really cute because it doesn't have a number you know like you're turning one or two or three or four for this kind of card so I really like that they kept it like kind of neutral yeah even on the inside it doesn't say an age so I'm either going to use it in December for like Micah's birthday spread in my junk journal or I'm gonna save it and maybe use it for Valentine's Day or I'm just gonna go get a double and do it both ways because I just think that's so cute all right now let's get into the Highly Questionable Christmas cards okay all right this one says Merry Christmas okay so far it's like all right that's adorable you know he's got lights on his antlers a Santa hats very much giving um Griswold you know and then you open it and it says Merry Christmas and now you have a moose card so all your prayers have been antlered like what was that supposed to be funny or like did I miss like did I miss something is there like some type of like moose joke thing that I just don't know about that makes this funny like okay then we have this one Santa tries Uber Uber where to Santa literally every house hope holiday fun arrives right on schedule um then we have this one which there's okay she's very much pissed off and I I understand it um It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year once I get these cookies made and making presents wrapped and decorating finished oh hi Merry Christmas where's the rest of the joke because it ain't here I she's mad she's cussing and then she says oh hi honey it's time to put the pudding down put it down walk away take off the apron yeah it's night night time yeah it's over so there's that um all right Dollar Tree put out the square cookie boxes you get two to a pack I'll never forget when these first made an appearance a couple years ago at Dollar Tree my mouth dropped like I will never forget when this like came to the stores now at my particular store I only have this print right here which has the Gnomes on it um but it's such a cute little box they even give you the actual sticker to seal the box with so whether let's say you're actually just doing a little like holiday baking actually this happened in my last neighborhood I remember like in our Facebook neighborhood group um there was someone who would like make holiday treats and she would sell them out of her house and I thought that was absolutely fabulous because anything home baked is absolutely amazing so this could be great for like a small business um but I'm hoping for like a gingerbread print or something so we'll see if I can like score another find there um then I picked up some tissue paper I'm a Dollar Tree tissue paper junkie what I love about this one is that it's a brand new print and it looks vintage so I mean just take a look at these snowflakes there's a lot more detail I don't know if you can kind of see them closely but they are stunning you get 10 sheets in here but just know that you probably get two sheets of the print and then like eight of the red and it probably tells you in here exactly how many is the print and how many's the um no on this one it doesn't say but that's usually how it goes all right then I picked up these cute little lip lollipops I believe they've done these for several years now but they are so cute they're just like a little lollipop and when you put them on you get like Santa's like beard which is so cute stocking stuffer um and we've got the reindeer and it's like the and it's like the Rudolph yeah it's from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer movie so super cute and then we have um what's his face what's his name I forget his name um comment down below what's his name the the something does something does it not say you're probably saying it at the screen right now and unfortunately I can't hear you so anyways these are cute also great for care packages so I found those all right then I found some brand new um puzzles and I had to just put you guys on them I look at these actually almost every time I go into Dollar Tree because I've been shopping these books for several years now how they do it it's always a pack of four each book has its own color on the binding and then each book has a unique print in the backdrop so this time it's books like that is so cute I've I've hauled some really cute ones in the past this one has a peacock theme and all of them have this like uh cup of coffee so and then this one looks like blueberries so darling and then this one looks like y'all I don't know I don't know what the hell this is what what is this I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie it looks like what the blue alien books I've been reading like what they would eat so I really don't know what that is but um but anyways these are a fantastic gift as well like into a care package and then I found Spot the Difference now what I love about these and you guys need to put this on your shopping list is that they're more geared towards adults so the images are not like kitty at all and they are so cute and they're actually kind of hard so Spot the Difference and there's just so many little things plus the images are great so from a junk journaling perspective these are going to be great to use as well so there's that and you get 26 puzzles in each little book and it does give you like the answers in the back but yeah you can definitely deconstruct this and use this in your junk journals why am I am I sweating because you live in Florida and you're dressed like you live in Wisconsin that's why okay then I picked up some of my favorite little um like these little labels these are just for some of my last remaining Etsy orders um you'll see how I'm gonna use them in my hopefully like my next Friday live um but I love these of course I had to get them in Christmasy colors and then I just found this sticker sheet I probably have several of these but anything with like food and sweets like it just always ends up in my cart so I thought this was really cute I liked the little popcorn and I think I'm gonna use some of these as well in my junk Journal when I start like my daily entries which I'll talk about that so um all right so I got that and then I found some more treat bags but hold your horses because they are darling now my store has four prints the fourth one is a snowflake it was in the back I got lazy and didn't grab it you know what I mean um but let me show you guys my third favorite which is the Snowman now what's interesting about these treat bags in particular from Dollar Tree because Dollar Tree does a massive variety of treat bags um different shapes different prints these however come with the little sticker to seal the bag because it's usually like those little like ties and then we've got ourselves a cute little gingerbread print so this actually comes in at my number two favorite usually anything gingerbread is my number one favorite but I don't know it was a hard one because here's number one I mean the trains just took me out I have never seen Dollar Tree do a print quite like this so this is fresh it's new and I love it I want to see more trains so we'll see all right then I also found the little booklet of sticker tags these are great I hoard these like if I'm a hoarder for anything anything from Dollar Tree number coming at number one it's not pens it's not stickers okay it's these it's the Christmas gift tags like I just love them and this year I'm also going to be using them for Junk journaling so I can't wait to do that they're just so cute and sometimes the like to and from you know you can either like cut it out like if you look at this one with the little lights like you could just cut it out and use this little block instead if you wanted to in your planner and that would be really cute like you don't just have to use them for a gift giving I'm just gonna kind of go through these so you can see what is in every sheet feel free to just pause so that you can kind of sweep through everything I think you get doubles are we going into yeah I think we're they give you two sheets of everything and then here is this booklet here this one looks like I really don't know I don't know these have like a particular theme but I do think these are new I'm I'm hoping Dollar Tree is giving us new prints oh this all blue one is very pretty yeah and then we're just gonna get dupes Again by the way I'm wearing a Dollar Tree headband like how cute is this okay into our last bag I picked up some more ribbons I picked up this like green gingham I also picked it up in red gingham these are not in the holiday section so go hunt for these in the floral section that's why I talk about how labels are important it can tell you where things are um and how long it will essentially be there then I found this whole box that really looks like some of the ribbons I've hauled from Hobby Lobby because I want to do like a gingerbread theme with these like really fun vibrant red and green colors so this one's kind of hard to see but it says let me I gotta open these like that's just nobody can see it that way all right so here is this one super cute if the camera would focus on there we go and there is like a wire trim so it'll be easy to like mold so we've got that one and then this one is probably the best one in my opinion so definitely put this one on your shopping list but Santa is just absolutely darling in this like look how cute that is and all of these were together in a display box an afterthought in terms of just like the design and the way that it printed on the ribbon like it just the ho hoes were not centered the font's not it so this one's a no for me um then we have this one which is a yes an absolute yes add this one to your shopping list as well it is so freaking pretty that I don't even know that I've seen anything quite like it even at Hobby Lobby like this little candy cane themish that I kind of see with this is so pretty here's another one that yeah it's just it's a little green print nothing nothing wow I guess you could say and then we have this one which I do think is kind of borderline wow it's pretty simple but they did a glitter effect on the green stripes so it's really beautiful in person so I would say that these four right here are definitely which is kind of oh that's not working out put these four right here are my personal favorites so we've got that one and then this one was on its own it's just a good plaid I've been wanting to bring it home so I could just kind of look at this without the wrapping it's very pretty I it is really pretty like I love the gold and it's just the right kind of plaid Dollar Tree doesn't always nail the plaids for me because I have like certain plaid colors that I really like but this one's gorgeous and I love that the edge is a gold detail which I don't know if you can like really see that but it is well done I also picked up more of the Christmas bells you can see from the label their crafter square but their Christmas because the label is green so I just picked up gold and green and then pretty random but I found a brand new Bic pen at Dollar Tree I've been kind of waiting for this moment because I feel like it's been years since they put out the big velocity pen which I found it through Dollar Tree and it turned out to be my favorite pen so when Dollar Tree stopped carrying it I would then go buy mine from Amazon so now we have this one which is the gelocity maybe it was gelocity whatever um this is the extra smooth gel pen and you just get one in here so I'm so excited to try this out yeah so I found that and then I also picked up these little gingerbread felt stickers you get four in here for the price but they are so darling you guys so many crafts and DIYs for the kids for you junk journaling go grab that oh here's I also got the bells in red I thought that I did so also have them in red and I had to go back and get another one of these Santa scarves with the bells they're hidden in like the little white fluff in that haul I showed you guys that you could tie this into a bow and put it into your tree and as soon as I said that because I thought of that like when I was doing it I was like I have to go get another one um so I'm thinking this is going to end up in my guest bedroom so super cute I'm thinking of like and strapping two to like the headboard one on one and one on the other and then draping Garland in between so that's why I got a second one and that's gonna be it for today's haul I hope you guys enjoyed drop your shopping list down below and I'll see you guys actually I'll see you guys tomorrow for another Dollar Tree haul bye thank you foreign\n"
