Chocolate Heart Boxes

Gifts of chocolates in a heart-shaped box are a Valentine’s Day tradition for many families. Whether you’re shopping for students, teachers, friends, or your own children, you won’t find a better value than these Chocolate Heart Boxes containing four pieces of chocolate in milk chocolate and dark chocolate varieties. Choose from five fun designs of cats or dogs, each reading, “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

Colgate Whitening Crystal Mint Toothpaste

In recent years, Dollar Tree has introduced more national brands to their shelves. This Colgate Whitening Crystal Mint Toothpaste is a steal at just $1.25. A similar product, albeit in different packaging, of the same size sells for $4.19 at Target. Keep in mind, this toothpaste is available at Dollar Tree stores only and it’s likely to sell out fast.

Vertical Welcome Plaque

Standing nearly two feet tall, this wooden sign will bring a smile to visitors when you hang it beside your door or prop it on your porch. Choose from four different designs, with hearts, bees, or flowers, and messages like “Welcome,” “Home Sweet Home,” “Welcome to Our Home,” and “Be Kind, Be Happy, Be You,” with the word “be” represented by fun little bumblebees.

We found similar styles on Amazon for $39. At just $1.25 at Dollar Tree, you may want to pick up more than one.
