It may be hard to believe it, but it’s true: summer is over, fall is here and Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
If you’re celebrating the holiday by hosting a gathering, attending a Thanksgiving potluck or simply just want to make the most of this season of gratitude, you’d best head to Dollar Tree, where you’ll find an abundance of fall-inspired items for the unbeatable signature price of $1.25.
GOBankingRates sifted through the latest Dollar Tree offerings to find 10 items to stock up on for Thanksgiving 2024.
Plastic Short-Stem Embossed Champagne Flutes
Enrich your gathering by going around and giving a toast to all you are grateful for.
These Plastic Short-Stem Embossed Champagne Flutes come in a set of two for $1.25, which works out to 75 cents per piece — less than what a very similar pair of plastic champagne flutes cost at Walmart.
Orange Paper Plates
If you’re hosting a Thanksgiving dinner and looking to minimize clean up after, it could make sense to go the route of paper plates.
At Dollar Tree, you can get a 24-count of Round Paper Plates for $1.25. The rich autumnal hue is perfect for a fall-themed spread. These also come in a 7-inch, 30-pack variety.
Pumpkin Dinner Plates
If you want to stay seasonal but take your plates to the next, more durable and reusable level, check out the Royal Norfolk Stoneware Pumpkin Dinner Plate. Each one is printed with a cheery fall pumpkin design and goes for $1.25.
Inspired plates that are made of lasting material are usually more expensive than this. For example, a ceramic pumpkin plate at Walmart costs $19.91.
Fall-Inspired Napkins
What’s an autumnal table spread without fall-inspired napkins? Pick up a 24-pack of Fall Leaves Drink Napkins for $1.25 at Dollar Tree.
You’ll likely spend more if you head to Walmart, where a 100-pack of Thanksgiving-themed cocktail napkins costs about $10.
Fall-Themed Table Runner
Deck out your table spread with this Fall Table Runner for $1.25 at Dollar Tree. It’s the perfect autumnal blend of orange, red and green that will make your kitchen pop with fall joy.
This is a great deal; at Walmart, a 13-by-72-inch fall-inspired table runner will set you back $8.99.
Pumpkin Oven Mitts and Potholders
Perhaps you’re hosting your first Thanksgiving party and want to go all out — even if it’s only just this once. Or, perhaps you’re a seasoned seasonal host and want to stock up on items you can use for future Thanksgiving gatherings.
Either way, check out these Home Collection Harvest Pumpkin Oven Mitts and Potholders for $1.25 at Dollar Tree to give your kitchen an autumnal pick-me-up.
You have another option here, too. Dollar Tree is also selling the adorable Orange Pumpkin Shaped Oven Mitt for $1.25.
Thanksgiving DIY Color-Your-Own Paper Tablecloths
Ideal for kids, but still potentially loads of fun for grownups are these $1.25 Thanksgiving DIY Color-Your-Own Paper Tablecloths, measuring 40 by 59 inches.
These tablecloths feature seasonal and Thanksgiving-meal-inspired designs. Less inspired paper tablecloths often go for more at retailers like Walmart.
Thanksgiving Paint Sets
Perfect for kids or newbie hobbyists are Dollar Tree’s Thanksgiving Paint Sets for $1.25.
Let loose and conjure up some holiday fun with these festive designs featuring phrases like “Happy Fall, Ya’ll,” “Hey Pumpkin,” “Hello Fall,” or “Harvest Season.” Each set comes with a brush, easel and four paint pots.
Walmart has some fun Thanksgiving-themed painting craft items, too, but they run more expensive.
Thanksgiving Foam Sticker Craft Kits
Another fun score from the Dollar Tree that will gobble up your kids’ time (and/or delight your inner child) are these Thanksgiving Foam Sticker Craft Kits going for $1.25 at Dollar Tree.
Each kit includes six foam stickers featuring classic Thanksgiving motifs (think pumpkins, turkeys and falling leaves).
Seasonal Scented Candles
In your imagination, what does autumn smell like? Maybe a bit like pumpkin or cinnamon or maple. Dollar Tree has got you covered here with its Luminessence Assorted Autumn Scented Pillar Candles, for $1.25 each.
This is a much better deal than what you’d find at Target, where autumn-scented candles start at $6.79.
