Organize every room in the house in just a few minutes when you buy these woven straw baskets. These new arrivals to Dollar Tree’s home décor and accents department measure at 11.8 x 11.8 inches and are available in cream, gray and black styles.

“I purchased these for my vanity and the coffee table to hold all our remotes. Can’t beat the price and the quality,” wrote Tiffany 23464 in a five-star review.

Keep winter slush and dirt from tracking into your home with these rubber-backed door mats. Dollar Tree shoppers can choose from gray or black patterned designs and add them to porches, outside of front and back doors and inside sunrooms.

Don’t have a lot of money to spend on holiday gifts this year? Special Moments textured picture frames are new Dollar Tree arrivals and the perfect presents.

Each frame is sized at 4×6 inches with black and white options for the frame color. Add a color or black and white photo of a special moment from your life in 2024 — like getting married, graduating from high school or college, adopting a pet, or another milestone you achieved — and give it to a loved one who will display the photo and its frame with pride.

• Price: $1.25

Add an inexpensive Cooking Concepts loaf pan to your shopping cart if you bake bread at home or want to bake something for neighbors and co-workers during the holidays.

These pans have 20 five-star ratings on the Dollar Tree website. Satisfied customers praised how long the pans hold up over time for baking bread and pound cakes.

• Price: $1.25

Grab an extra bottle of Dawn ultra dishwashing liquid if you spot it during your December Dollar Tree shopping run. 

You’ll pay much less for the 7.5-ounce bottle than if you shopped at a big-box retailer. It never hurts to have extra dishwashing liquid on hand to scrub dishes, cookware and bakeware clean.

Price: $1.25

Celebrate the end of 2024 and welcome 2025 with silver balloon weights/centerpieces at Dollar Tree. Each 12-inch silver weight can act as a style centerpiece on its own during your New Year’s Eve party. The weight also is good for keeping balloon arrangements in place. 

As a bonus, careful use of these weights will allow shoppers to reuse them well into the new year for events such as birthday parties and graduation celebrations.
