Adult Coloring Books: A Haul Review and More
I recently picked up some adult coloring books at Dollar Tree that really blew me away with their quality and price point. I mean, who wouldn't want to spend just a dollar on a book of free therapy? The pages were printed without any bleeding or double printing, which is a huge plus in my book. And let me tell you, there are just pages and pages of fun designs to color. I found one with sailboats that was really cool, and another one with cute illustrations that had me smiling.
I also picked up some giant coloring books, including an adult version of the classic Lisa Frank brand that I loved as a kid. It's great to see these iconic brands being reimagined for adults who want to indulge in their childhood nostalgia but still need something more challenging than a children's coloring book. The Lisa Frank large coloring book is perfect for anyone looking to feel like a kid again without sacrificing too much complexity or detail.
While I was at Dollar Tree, I stumbled upon an 80s haul that caught my eye. It featured Strawberry Shortcake, one of my favorite childhood characters, and some other nostalgic favorites like Rainbow Brite and The Smurfs. However, the quality of these books was a bit different from what I expected. They were more geared towards kids, with larger images and less complexity than I would have liked.
But on to something else entirely - I recently found myself searching for a shaving cream that matches my favorite brand, EOS. Unfortunately, my experience with Dollar Tree's lemonade brand didn't quite live up to my expectations. It seemed like they had one flavor out of stock for months and finally got it in online but when it shipped to the store, they couldn't find it. They were unable to fulfill my order, which left me feeling frustrated and exhausted from all the searching I did. In the end, I had to let go and just focus on finding a new source for my favorite shaving cream.
However, my disappointment with Lemonade turned out to be short-lived. While browsing through Dollar Tree, I found some beautiful glassware that caught my eye. Specifically, they had a lovely set of glasses that reminded me of the ones I used to buy at HomeGoods. They were a great find, and I ended up purchasing four sets - one for myself and three as gifts.
Overall, my experience with adult coloring books was really what got me excited about shopping at Dollar Tree this time around. There's just something special about indulging in some free therapy through art that brings so much joy to my day.
