This $1.25 Dollar Tree Find Is a Must-Have for the Holiday Season

Dollar Tree might be some people's go-to for budget-friendly groceries, but it's also a haven for affordable kitchen tools, organizing hacks, and the occasional home decor that does not look like it came from a dollar store. A 5-pack of Ball wooden mason jar lids for $1.25. A magazine holder that doubles as clever pantry storage or beautiful dinner plates for the same price? Yes, please!

With the holidays on the horizon, Dollar Tree also has plenty of great gifts you might want to tap into. Maybe the home cook in your life would appreciate a bench scraper in their stocking. Or maybe your friend who always hosts would love a set of margarita glasses they can pass off as Crate & Barrel’s more expensive glassware. And if you're someone who likes to give homemade food gifts, then Dollar Tree might have the perfect solution for packaging some of your gifts—and for only $1.25 each.

Dollar Tree’s Holiday-Themed Food Storage Container

If you’re known for giving holiday cookies that you lovingly bake in your kitchen for days on end, mini loaves of cranberry nut bread or pumpkin bread, homemade peppermint bark or cashew brittle, or a combination of several homemade treats, pay attention.

Dollar Tree is currently selling adorable round holiday storage containers for just $1.25 each. The container comes in three designs: candy canes with a green lid, reindeers with a red lid, or snowflakes with a blue lid. They’re the perfect holly jolly homemade food gift containers. But, we have some other ideas for them, too. 

• Buy a stack of them and send guests home with leftovers in them. These are safe for food but they're not microwave-safe so be sure to give that info to your guests.
• Use them on a holiday buffet table filled with reindeer snack mix. 
• Keep them on the kitchen counter during the holidays—and into winter—with hot chocolate packets or tea bags.
• Use them as a gift box for anything that will fit in them. Who needs wrapping paper?

With a glowing 4.1 star review on the Dollar Tree website, one fan wrote, this is "a gift I can't stop giving!" The possibilities are endless with these holiday-themed containers, and best of all, they can be reused over and over.
