I bought six Dollar Tree items for $6 – after a little DIY, they make the “cutest” Christmas gifts

DOLLAR Tree might not be your first thought of stores offering Christmas gifts, but a TikToker showed how you can use all Dollar Tree items to create the perfect gift.

TikToker DoItOnADimeOfficial has over 450,000 followers who watch their Dollar Tree Best Deals and Hacks videos every week.

you recently brought to the platform to share with her followers a “Dollar Tree gift idea that people actually want to receive”.

What you need

DoItOnADimeOfficial said the first thing to look for in your Dollar Tree business is white wax melts.

You must also purchase a large pillar candle at the store for $1.25, the influencer said.

Once you’ve melted the wax, you’ll cut it up to prepare it for your gifting masterpiece.

You also need to heat the tall candle in a saucepan of water over low heat.

“Melt the wax, then carefully remove the wick,” the TikToker instructed.

You then need to hot glue the wick to the bottom of an Irish coffee mug.

These are also available from Dollar Tree.

Once you pour in the wax, a candle will fit perfectly.

Towards the end of her candle creation, DoItOnADimeOfficial added a cinnamon stick for a little extra sparkle.

Next, she shares, “Let the wax sit for a few minutes but make sure the center is still nice and soft.”

At this point you need to add the wax melts.

“These look just like marshmallows,” said DoItOnADimeOfficial.

She went on to say that you can jazz up this gift idea by melting down some of Dollar Tree’s mini Mason jars and pouring them into the festive silicone molds.

You can combine the two items for a Christmas present that really impresses.

The total cost

A total of six Bargain Vendor products are required to craft this gift:

• White wax melts
• High candle
• Irish coffee mug
• cinnamon stick
• Mini mason jar
• Silicone molds from the baking sheet

That puts the total cost of the thoughtful and charming in-store gift at around $6.
