This holiday season, savvy shoppers are heading to Dollar Tree to find essentials that help them trim costs and stay within their budgets. There are plenty of seasonal items for sale at a fraction of the cost shoppers would pay at competing retailers, but which are the best?

GOBankingRates has made the list and checked it twice to find the winning item as the single best buy at Dollar Tree this December.

Runner-up: Crayola Finger Paint Soap

Dollar Tree is a money-saving go-to when shopping for stocking stuffers for the whole family during the holidays. As you shop, keep an eye out for art supplies like crayons, stickers and craft kits.

Each 4-ounce tube of Crayola Finger Paint Soap is just $1.25, and they come in a variety of bright colors.  You can bring out the painter in your child without all the mess. That’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Runner-up: Christmas Kitchen Towels

Holiday-themed kitchen towels are quite literally flying off the shelves at Dollar Tree and online. Shoppers can find a wide variety of designs for $1.50 each while supplies last. When compared to retailers like Target or Walmart, Dollar Tree typically allows shoppers to get the most savings.

This is especially true if you like to change up your kitchen towels during other holidays throughout the year, like Valentine’s Day, Easter and Halloween.

Winner: Christmas Whimsical Text Gift Bag

Forget wrapping paper, the single best thing to buy at Dollar Tree this December is this 3-pack of gift bags that come in a variety of holiday designs. At just $0.50 per bag, you can stock up and have all of your gift “wrapping” done in seconds. This way, you can spend more of your time and less of your money actually enjoying your holidays.

You can also pair this purchase with Dollar Tree gift wrap supplies, including wrapping paper and tissue paper, to save big with your one-stop shop for Santa’s little helper.
