Dollar Tree Easter Items
If you haven’t ever shopped at Dollar Tree for Easter items, you are missing out.
Dollar Tree has some of the best and cutest Easter items that only cost a $1.25 and that is a steal when you consider the price at other retailers.
Tips for Shopping for Easter Items at Dollar Tree:
- Easter/season items are located at the front of the store.
- Take your time to seek out name brand items such as name brand candy and toys those are the best tasting and highest quality items.
- Take the time to put together your Easter baskets in the store to ensure it all fits.
- Use filler items in other areas of the store such as the toy isle, beauty isle and even Dollar Tree’s extensive candy isle.
- Choose age appropriate items (I’ve found most Dollar Tree items have age recommendations on them).
- You can shop for your favorite Easter items at Dollar Tree online too!
Easter Items I Always Buy at Dollar Tree
I will say, the majority of Easter items at Dollar Tree are worth the cost.
With that being said, here are a few Easter items that I always buy at Dollar Tree…
Name Brand Candy
Anytime I can find name brand candy including Easter chocolate, I get that instead of the off brand. I find it typically tastes better and my kids enjoy it more.
This year, I found several name brand Easter chocolates like these Fruity Pebbles and Rice Krispies kind.
Plastic Easter Eggs
Dollar Tree has some of the most unique and cutest plastic Easter eggs.
This year they have quite a few new egg designs too like look at how cute these car eggs are, love the dinosaurs and these adorable mermaid clamshell ones!
Easter egg dyeing kits
One of my favorite finds are these Easter egg dyeing kits and they even have themed ones too!
Easter Baskets
Let’s be honest, unless you are really good about reusing the same baskets every year, spending more than $1.25 is a total waste. Kids break the baskets or they get lost so, I stick to the dollar store for Easter baskets.
Plus, they have a ton of different colors, sizes and designs to choose from.
Easter Grass
I tend to skip the Easter grass (to help the environment) but if you use it, get it from Dollar Tree.
This year, I actually found Peeps Easter Grass that actually smells like Peeps marshmallows. It smelled really good through the package!
