5 Best Last-Minute Halloween Buys at Dollar Tree

With all of the fall activities happening in October, it’s easy to forget something you need for Halloween, leaving you scrambling at the last minute.

If you’ve found yourself in a pinch when it comes to celebrating the spookiest day of the year, swing by Dollar Tree where you’ll find these best last-minute buys for less.

You may not have planned to be home on Halloween for trick-or-treating, but plans can change. If you don’t want to haul out the decorations just to turn around and put them away again, there’s an easy last-minute solution — a $5 Halloween-themed doormat from Dollar Tree. These mat options will provide a spooky touch without the hassle. The mat could also be a good gift for the host of a Halloween party you’re planning to attend.

Giving your child’s teacher a gift each holiday is a fun and thoughtful gesture. However, if you were planning to pick up some candy last-minute, that’s a low-effort choice. Instead, consider giving something decorative that can be treasured from year to year — like a Halloween throw pillow.

Dollar Tree has a variety of cute options for $5 each, including white ghost-shaped pillows, a bat-shaped pillow and a cauldron-shaped pillow brimming with witch’s brew.

You suddenly remember you’re supposed to furnish Halloween table decorations for your child’s school party, but Amazon won’t deliver in time. No problem. Stop in at the Dollar Tree and pick up a Halloween PEVA tablecloth for $3 and some Battery-Operated Flameglow Halloween Décor Table Top Figurines — ghosts, pumpkins or skulls — for $5 each. For that extra touch, also pick up a 72-inch by 13-inch black lace table runner for $1.25.

Sometimes you need an additional accessory to make a Halloween costume perfect, and Dollar Tree stocks a variety of items that could come in handy at the last minute. You might even be able to purchase separate pieces to create an entire costume, if needed.

You can find princess skirts, tiaras, ninja swords, light-up face masks and witch hats for $1.25 each. The discount chain also sells Halloween-themed baby booties — pumpkin, mummy, ghost and skeleton — for the same price.

If Halloween Eve comes around and you suddenly realize someone already raided the Halloween candy stash you set aside for trick-or-treaters, swing by the Dollar Tree. You’ll have no trouble finding the following candy items for $1.25-$3.50 each:
