What can you buy with $25 at Dollar Tree for Christmas? After digging through hundreds of items for sale, we narrowed it down to seven essentials. Overall, these picks are a great value compared to similar offerings at competing retailers. And shoppers can continue saving money by reusing some items, like the artificial tree and faux fur stocking, at future Christmases to come.
Our total spend came out to $24.50 — cutting it super close to the $25 cutoff. Take a look at what made our recommendations for the best ways to spend $25 at Dollar Tree for Christmas below.
Plus, see which $5 items at Dollar Tree are worth the money.
Artificial Noble Fir Christmas Tree (4 Feet)
- Price: $6
If you can find the noble fir Christmas tree for sale at your local Dollar Tree, buy it.
This artificial tree comes in green or white and stands tall at four feet. It’s significantly cheaper than buying similarly sized faux Christmas trees at big-box retailers and $1 cheaper than the faux trees sold at Five Below.
Self-Adhesive Gift Tags With Bows
- Price: $1.50
Not sure if your Christmas budget can stretch to accommodate bows and gift tags? Get them both for $1.50.
Each sheet of eight self-adhesive gift tags comes with a festive bow already on the tag to make gift wrapping a breeze and more affordable than ever before.
Large Snowman Gift Bag
- Price: $1.50
Dollar Tree has a wide assortment of holiday-themed gift bags for sale this year and shoppers really can’t go wrong with any of the options.
Our pick this season is the large snowman gift bag. This bag is big enough to fit larger presents like throw blankets and toys and comes with handles for carrying ease.
Christmas House Tinsel Garland
- Price: $4
Decorate the Christmas tree or DIY a snazzy wreath using this tinsel garland. Each garland measures up to 12 feet and comes in jewel-tone green and red colors.
Pro tip: Carefully pack it away after the holidays are over to ensure you can reuse the garland again next year.
Decorative Tree Topper
- Price: $5
Dollar Tree shopper Krystalbee shared photos of the decorative tree topper in a five-star review — and they’re absolutely fantastic! Consider this your sign to buy your favorite style before they’re sold out.
“These are such a steal! I didn’t pay attention to the description in store and bought a few of these for decorations. They are super full and great quality. I was shocked by how long the ribbon tails actually run. I didn’t realize they were a tree topper bow, so they run down very long!” wrote Krystalbee.
Faux Fur Stocking
- Price: $5
The faux fur stocking is another Dollar Tree Christmas item we added to this list thanks to a great customer photo from shopper Jenn26.
Available in red, green, gray and cream, these stockings are plush and big enough to fit most small stocking stuffers.
Christmas Coloring and Activity Book
- Price: $1.50
There are many ways to enjoy the Christmas coloring and activity book. Pair with inexpensive crayons or colored pencils (also sold at Dollar Tree) for stocking stuffers, break them out on snow days for creative fun or bring them along on holiday travel to keep young minds occupied for hours.
