I Love Gift-Related Things: A Dollar Tree Haul and DIY Project

As someone who loves all things gift-related, I always find myself drawn to the gift aisle first. Whether it's during holiday seasons like Christmas or not, I just can't resist checking out the bags, bows, tissue paper, basket fillers, and everything else that comes with gifting. My stores may not quite get it right yet, but there's one particular store that consistently impresses me: Dollar Tree. They have a knack for creating beautiful gifts without breaking the bank.

I recently ventured to a few other stores I hadn't checked out in a while, hoping to find some new and exciting gift-related items. My go-to stores with excellent gift offerings are still my favorites, especially when it comes to their Christmas-themed products. Take this lovely tissue paper, for example – its Christmas tree print is absolutely stunning. I ended up buying not one, but two of these gorgeous sheets, and I couldn't be happier.

Speaking of festive items, I must confess that I was a bit disappointed with Dollar Tree's sticker selection lately. They did release an update to their popular Sweets stickers, but I didn't see anything new on the horizon. Thankfully, they recently introduced this adorable new sticker set featuring Santa Claus, and I just had to have it.

In addition to these gift goodies, I also discovered a wonderful gift box set with a Santa-themed design. Although I couldn't recall if I'd seen this one before or not, its festive charm won me over. The next few minutes were spent rummaging through the store's window clings – and oh boy, did they deliver! There was an adorable gingerbread man ornament that had me swooning, as well as some lovely DIY potential with their mug collection. I'm excited to put these to good use in my kitchen.

Last but certainly not least, I stumbled upon a beautiful gingerbread-themed gift featuring realistic, edible-looking icing. The mittens on this ornament were particularly adorable, especially since they featured a cute little Yorkie dog – who knows what kind of dog it is, really? The intricate design and colors on this ornament are simply stunning.

The final touch to my haul was the discovery of a Christmas village set that would make for perfect window clings. This gift box offered not only an excellent selection but also came with a lovely sleigh, which added an extra layer of festivity to its already magical charm.

Gingerbread-related projects are a true weakness of mine. I must confess that decorating my kitchen will be an exciting undertaking – the anticipation is building! In upcoming videos, you can expect me to share some fantastic DIY ideas, including one all about decorating my living room. It's going to be a wonderful holiday season, indeed!

Now, let's dive into the fun part – the DIY project itself! For this particular creation, I'll be using the square cake pan from Dollar Tree as the base of my gingerbread-themed ornament. To begin, I'll select an adorable ornament from my collection and place it in the center of the pan.

Next up is a bit of trial and error to find the perfect ornament for the top. The options were many, but in the end, I settled on this beautifully frosted sugar look ribbon – its checkered design complements the gingerbread so elegantly. Now that we have our materials lined up, all it takes is some hot glue and patience to finish off this lovely project.

And voila! Your very own gingerbread-themed ornament can be created in just a few simple steps: choose an ornament of your choice, select a ribbon that matches the festive feel you're going for, apply some hot glue, and secure the ribbon on top. That's it – you now have a beautiful gift that's sure to delight friends and family alike.

As I mentioned earlier, my decorating style tends to focus on creating a cohesive look in my kitchen. This gingerbread-themed ornament is the perfect fit – its small size makes it easy to incorporate into any design scheme. The details of this ornament are simply stunning, with an adorable gingerbread man that could easily be used as a real-life cookie (who wouldn't want one?!).
