Buy or Bye: Dollar Tree Stocking Stuffers

Cassidy Kufner I appreciate that I can say I’ve had the privilege of taking classes I could always find at least some degree of genuine enjoyment in. I know that I will enjoy college way more, but honestly, high school wasn’t so bad. I would say to try and make the best of everything, and don’t be afraid to take opportunities because for us, there are so many. Treat yourself senior year and take a fun class because you deserve it. Most importantly, senior year has taught me not to sweat the small things because in the end, they don’t matter!

Look at This!

Madi Robertson When people used to tell me, “Highschool will go by in an instant,” I didn’t believe them. Sitting here with less than three weeks until graduation, I now see what they meant. I’m beyond ready to move on with my life, but I’d be lying if I said a part of me won’t miss this place. Cherish your last year with your friends, and don’t stress too much with your classes. There will always be another test to worry about and study for, but a night out with friends is something you can’t get back. Take chances this year: go to school dances, games, and events. Just live your life senior year -- you won’t regret it.

The Hidden Cost of Senior Year
May 23, 2019

With Christmas just around the corner, there are bound to be many last minute shoppers desperately searching for something to quick and simple to buy. The allure of a bargain is real at the local Dollar Tree, as many of these stocking stuffers prove intriguing at just $1.

Stockings: BUY

Not only does Dollar Tree provide stocking stuffers, but they also carry actual stockings. The stockings themselves aren’t exactly made out of the best material, but what can you expect when it’s $1?

Coffee scented candles: BUY

These super cute candles are perfect for the coffee lover, while being both decorative and affordable. With the only downside being a plastic lid, for $1, this candle should be making an appearance in every home.

Old Puzzles: BYE

Listen, we all love a good throwback. Wizards of Waverly Place and Jonas Brothers puzzles immediately caught our attention, however…most of the boxes were opened and definitely missing a few pieces. Sorry Nick, Kevin, and Joe, but we’re gonna have to pass on buying your puzzles.

Acrylic paint: BUY

For the art lover on a budget, Dollar Tree offers seemingly quality yet basic paints. The primary colors ensure an array of colors to be mixed.

Truffles and Chocolates: BUY

One thing the Dollar Tree delivered on was their complete array of fancy truffles and chocolates. Everyone in the store seemed to be buying them up, which means these chocolates must be about as best as $1 chocolates can be.

Earbuds: BYE

These earbuds aren’t looking too great. Even if you aren’t bougie enough for AirPods, these aren’t advisable either. Maybe try Target for a few dollars more.

Face masks: BUY

The “yes to” line of skincare products is amazing, and truthfully, way more expensive than one dollar in almost every other store. We all love a good face mask, and these are definitely worth the purchase.

Fuzzy socks: BUY

These socks were amazingly soft, and even had grips on the bottom for those of you worried about slipping and losing balance after a hearty holiday meal.

Makeup: BYE

Much like the earbuds, there is little to be said about the quality of this makeup. Though a nice thought, perhaps try a different store for all of your makeup needs.

Candy: BUY

As a classic stocking stuffer, candy could never fail. Dollar Tree offers tons of well known and loved brands, as well as a few that are unheard of, only adding to the fun.
