If you are like me you put a lot of thought and care into gifts. A random last minute gift card leaves me feeling guilty, but I also can’t afford to a spend a fortune on gifts. Our gift list seems to expand each year, and I don’t want to take anyone off but I’m learning to be more aware of our budget limits.
When you think of Dollar Tree do you think of junk? I was almost an adult before I went in one, and I was pleasantly surprised by all they had to offer. With the addition of a craft section it seems the selection has just gotten better and most things can’t be beat for $1 an item.
Ready to go shopping? I have some gift ideas to help you out for $4 or less per gift!
