I wanted to mention that the little hex tools are necessary on certain table legs and on treadmills for tightening the bolts, etc. I think some people call them "Allen wrenches" as well. They are a good tool to have on hand!

One of my local dollar tree is super clean. Always clean and gives that good vibe to shop 🥲

Hi Shannon ! I definitely snagged some of the floral napkins when I was getting supplies for craft night. I’m going to cut around the flowers & use them to cover their large white styrofoam bunnies with waterproof Mod Podge! (Tuesday Morning always has really gorgeous napkins too) Hope you had a great weekend & I’m sending everyone 🤗, 💜 & 🙏🏻 for a wonderful & blessed week ahead!

Thank you for sharing all these amazing items and ideas.

Thank you for the suggestion of waiting until a day or two after the Big truck delivery to shop.👍

I love those clear containers. I have had 2 for 2 years after a few months' use, and I saw how great they were. I bought more, but they only had a few left, and I haven't seen any since, so glad to see they are back. I use them for snacks and candy for my granddaughter. She loves Starburst, so I put the mini ones in the small side and the wrapped ones in the big. We take it on outings or when we visit her aunt and spend a few days. They are also great for day outings to take cracker and peanut butter or goldfish and small cookies like teddy grams. I have 1 I use for bathroom stuff, rubber bands in small side, scrunchies in the other or barretts is great for travel or in the bathroom drawer. I have in the kids' bathroom on the counter. I let my granddaughter add her favorite stickers to the outside and her name to make it personal. Great in craft room for stickers and beads, so many craft items fit in these. Lastly, I used them for travel and put my jewelry in them. I love that the little section closes so tight and is covered by the total lid. Sorry for such a long comment. I just wanted to share my ideas with you.
Thank you for your ideas and sharing your finds.

Thank you for all you do, Shannon. You amaze me with your DIYs. They're always so beautiful. I remember Dunkaroos. My brother and I always fought over them. They have now it in cookie mix, pancake mix, and etc.

WOW! Your Dollar Tree is so nice...very neat and clean! The ones I go to look nothing like that and they don't even have everything stores have that I've seen on YouTube. Thank you for showing us the one you go to and one that's so well stocked! I've never had Dunkaroos!

[jameslindamorgan]

I like small Dollar Trees also. My local one is 20 miles away. I so enjoy watching your channel to find out what is new and your reviews. I enjoy hearing what you are crafting with your children. Thank you for all your inspiration.

Hi! 👋🏼 I just found your channel when this video came up in my recommended videos. I definitely subscribed right away because your content is exactly what I like to watch! I’m sure you know many things as a DIYer but just in case you didn’t know, you can use 91% rubbing alcohol & wipe the words right off of the top of that pill organizer if you didn’t want them on there. Just a friendly little tip in case you didn’t know.☺️ I’ll probably be here a while watching some of your other videos☺️. There looks to be quite a few good ones I would like to see! Hope you & your family have an amazing week!

[geebarn]

So nice of you to showcase some of your favorites and new items! I love shopping at Dollar Tree and I love watching your channel! Thank you, Shannon.

I am 44 & have lived in FL since age 4 & never heard of Dunkaroos. Watching you while I white chalk paint a bunch of wooden crafts etc. Also, painted a pizza pan & burner cover in prep for tier tray as well as gnomes! 1st time working w chalk paint. Ended up finally finding a brush out of our 100 that works but I did have to water it down a bit even though I mixed w stir stick. Have the cloche drying for the lovely nest too!

[marydecker]

You save us time and money while giving us great ideas! Thank you!

[cincan]

Love the felt coasters. My sister and I made a spring garland out of them last year.

[jewellcrawford]

Thank goodness I’m not the only one that doesn’t like the smell of lavender but think it is pretty. Love thee hanger out of the garden fence. Really enjoyed this video. Thanks

[kerris.]

I went yesterday. Got Easter ribbons and decor for Easter. And terra cotta pots and flowers for a Winnie the Pooh baby shower. They were restocking the shelves. Lots of new flower picks. Love all the unfinished wood items.

U NEVER DISAPPOINT SHANNON, LOVE YOUR DIY'S!!

[debrajohnson]

Thank u Shannon for your tip on what not buy and what to grab at Dollar Tree, ❤️

Hi Shannon.

I have several comments but first I want to let you know that I love your channel and for several reasons. First, your creativity is off the wall. I find it clever, quite inventive, many ideas are highly original and unique in that I've not seen anyone else do anything like them. Secondly, I also appreciate that you include items that are practical not just decorative. Yet I love so many of your decorative creations. Too many in fact. While I love crafting I can only use so many decorative items in my home and the same is true of my friends and family who have been recipients of many gifts. For me, my crafting doest bring in income. And I don't think with the arthritis in my hands that I could keep up with maintaining an inventory for sales either online or at craft faires. And while I do change some things out seasonally and would actually like to do more I just lack sufficient storage space to store that many items. [Christmas is my one exception. I really do have to whittle that collection down. But I don't want to. Just the IDEA of parting with ANY of the antique ornaments I collected (earliest from 1873), including my mother's first ornaments upon getting married beginning in 1950, 9 from my maternal grandmother the earliest from her childhood 1913-1927, and 6 from my paternal grandmother plus 9 beautiful wooden ornaments carved by my paternal grandfather and finished exquisitely, or any of the hand crafted ornaments (some cherished from /by children), or any of the collections: antique/collectable/purchased hand crafted/unusual ornaments and one of a kind ornaments/decorations or my antique toys and children's books (earliest 1881 & many from 1898-1911) that I intersperse on and under my treadle sewing machine and around and beneath the tree mingled with presents, my Angel and St. Nickolas/Santa collections (including an 1887 German composition figure St. Nickolas in his hand woven red wool robe, composition boots and rabbit fur beard, my country/nature inspired ornaments and decorations (about 35% I made) and my North Pole collection (can you tell I love them?). All in all I can do 5 large trees and 2 small trees each with a different theme. Bet even within themes each tree will look very different each year as I have more than enough in each category to cover a fairly large tree. Sadly there is no way I can do more than one medium tree and, maybe, one quite small (3-4') tree in the home I have now. Even so they give me such joy. So much beauty and uniqueness. So many stories from the collecting and about the time periods. So much joy even in just thinking about them. (I probably take too much joy that's why I can't whittle down the collections. I should share them by letting go and open up room for storage of other things. But I doubt other stored things would give me such joy. Somehow, though, even if I usually stick to the antique/collectable (not yet over 100 years old) decorations there are usually 1 or 2 items from each of the other collections that weave in well. And those change every year so I have to go through them all to select which ones. And I love that! ~ I hope you didn't mind me sharing this]

To continue
But watching you (and a few others) keeps me interested, my hands and mind involved with crafting and learning new products, techniques and just enjoying your company. You feel like a kindred soul and a friend. And thirdly, I welcome your honesty and specific comments about products that just don't measure up. For whatever reason, be it due to poor workmanship or poor design, lack of quality materials or for whatever reason it's always good to gain insight from someone who has had firsthand experience with the product. And for many items, before you've made a purchase, there is no way of knowing enough about the product to make an informed decision. You just end up taking your chances. Items such as cleaning products, cosmetic and beauty items, hygiene or medicinal/personal care products or even the quality and taste of food can only be guessed at. Thank goodness for those who share their opinions. I bet you wish you'd had one about, what turned out to be remembered name, but smaller and dry cereal. LOL. Similarly, a good review helps us not pass up something that is quality at a lower price. I know I've been guilty of being a bit of a skeptical buyer (too low a price to be good snob) about some Dollar Tree products .... especially if I've had a bad experience with a product in that category years before. Because you are not a low price snob and had the good review about the glass cleaner from a friend and passed it on you are helping me become less of a snob and saving some money in the process. Thanks.

That's also why you gave the floral scissors a try. Yet probably, like me, you've had good success with other of their cutting implements. I had a whole theory about them already written out which after I read the reviews totally didn't apply. I'm glad they do work if you don't get a dud pair. I agree. Return them .

I also have an idea about the cereal. Surprisingly, I've found that allowing room air to come into contact with foods like cookies, cereal, etc., that instead of getting stale or hard as I would have expected (think bread exposed to air) they instead extract moisture from the air and actually become softer. Not mushy but less hard. Perhaps this might work for the cereal. It might be worth a try since you have fond memories of the brand. Good luck with that.

I sure wish I had your eye for seeing what's possible with so many items that I can see only for the original obvious use. I am creative in many ways and am learning to look at things differently but please keep the ideas flowing because I, like so many others, just don't yet see what you are able to. So thank you for your weird and wonderful insight into many possibilities
