6 Halloween Items at Dollar Tree for $5 or Less That You Can Use All Year

Dollar Tree has discounts all over the place, including right now, just in time for Halloween. But just because you plan to stock up for the upcoming frightening festivities doesn’t mean you can’t use your Dollar Tree purchases all year long.

And why not? At Dollar Tree, there are so many Halloween products available for under $5 that it would be a shame to not employ them in the months outside of October. Here are six Halloween items at Dollar Tree for $5 or less that you can use all year long.

Summer’s nearly over, which means that your garden is probably on its last legs. Still, you do not have to be without flowers in bloom in your house just because the seasons change. 

These Assorted Artificial Daisies are for Halloween, yet perfect for keeping on your mantel, window sill, or as a centerpiece during winter, spring, and if you’d like, even summer. 

While assortments might vary, you can choose from two eye-popping styles: solid black or black with fun pops of vivid color. These flowers will never wilt, need to be watered, and make for wonderful gifts, crafts and decorations for a variety of celebratory events.

Black, orange and white — that tends to be the color palette for Halloween, but who said it has to be exclusively for the spooky season? These 7-inch trees are cute, colorful and act as great decor during Halloween. You might even be tempted to keep them up and place them in different rooms throughout your house once Oct. 31 has come and gone.

One five-star review raved that “[t]hese are gorgeous. ZERO glitter and super soft, the candy cone colored ones are my favorite and perfect for fall.”

While skulls might denote “scary” or “creepy,” lots of people find them to be a great addition to their overall home aesthetic, even when they are not celebrating Halloween. Each of these 6-inch-by-4.25-inch hollow plastic skulls are lightweight and you can choose the color, either black or ivory.

These skulls can even be used for educational purposes, as one five star review noted about their class: “Great for facial reconstruction for my forensic class.”
