20 Incredible Dollar Tree Summer Finds

1. Party two-tiered tray

You'll grab two plastic trays from the Dollar Tree Summer section and one of the Tiki Goblets.

You're just going to glue the goblet's top and bottom to the middle of each tray.

I'm using Dollar Tree's Fix All Adhesive, equivalent to the Craft Glue E6000, for this project for a permanent bond.

2. Outdoor lights

I'm going to show you two of the newest lights and how they perform in my backyard.

The first is a column light.

If you pick these up, make sure that you check inside for the stake that goes into the ground.

These come in a pewter and a black finish, and I think they look much more expensive than $1.25.

The next solar lights are a hidden Dollar Tree summer find.

These change into so many bright and beautiful colors. They don't look like much before the lights go out, but once it's dark, your backyard will be transformed into a little fairy wonderland.

3. Travel or bath organizer

If you're planning to travel this summer or just looking to clean up your bathroom, here's a hack.

Take one of the Dollar Tree sponge holders, turn it upside down, and use it to hold your makeup bag where there's that little hook at the top.

Not only have you saved that precious counter space, but you can see everything you need.

4. Sunscreen

The Dollar Tree store brand of this SPF 50 baby sunscreen gets five-star reviews on their website, so I decided to try it myself.

I found that the scent and the feel of the sunscreen were wonderful.

5. Purse hooks

How often have you stopped suddenly and had your purse, tote bag, or beach bag spilled all over your car?

This next hidden Dollar Tree hack is a lifesaver. If you see these little purse hooks, they're usually at the checkout stand.

6. Nail brushes

If you've been working in your backyard garden as I have, pick up a two-pack of Sassy and Chic nail brushes. That comes with a small brush and a large brush.

My baby radishes have just started coming in. The smaller brush is soft enough to scrub these kinds of vegetables, while the larger brush is perfect for cleaning the dirt from under your nails.

7. Nail brush holder

While you're at Dollar Tree, pick up one of these toothbrush holders in the bathroom section. It is the perfect size to hold the little nail brush.

8. Garden grabber

It seems like every yea, it gets a little harder for me to reach items in the back seat.

Pick up one of these grabbers in the hardware section and leave it in the front seat of your car. It will be easy next time you must reach for your beach bag.

10. Drinkware

If you are trying to eat healthier and make sure you get that water intake, Dollar Tree is knocking it out of the park this summer with its beautiful vibrant graphics on all its paper goods and drinkware.

You're going to want to pick up drink cups. They come in a two-pack for $1.25. The lid will accommodate both hot drinks and cold drinks.

11. Seeds

It's not too late to pick up some Dollar Tree seeds and start your herb garden.

If you live in a small or rental home like we do, stacking planters from Dollar Tree will save so much space.

I use these stacking planters to triple the space I have to start seedlings.

12. Wristlets

Summertime means fun trips to amusement parks in the pool, places you may not necessarily want to take your whole bag.

This wristlet was a little too small to hold my phone, but it was the perfect size for lip gloss, a couple of dollars, a driver's license, and an ID. 

13. Car cleaning wipes

Take out some cleaning wipes when you're stopped or waiting to pick someone up and give your dash and steering wheel a quick wipe down.

14. Car air freshener

I love the neutral look of these new car air fresheners. They absorb odors and keep your car's interior smelling fresh.

15. Upholstery cleaner

This Dollar Tree upholstery and interior cleaner does an excellent job.

16. Clutter catcher

Summertime means sunglasses, change, key fobs, and fun things.

I'm making a clutter catcher using a plate and a bowl from Dollar Tree along with that fix-all adhesive, but you could use this with a plate and bowl you already have on hand.

17. Trunk organizer

More and more Dollar Tree stores are carrying the Dollar Tree Plus section, where you will find items that cost three and five dollars.

These totes sell for three dollars a piece and are roomy enough to use as a trunk organizer.

18. Outdoor broom

Dollar Tree has an area of handles, brooms, and all kinds of accessories.

Pick up a handle and a broom head, and you have a dedicated outdoor broom without breaking the bank.

19. Pill organizer

This Dollar Tree pillbox has seven separate compartments, but each compartment is separated into an AM half and a PM half.

Of course, you can use this for its intended purpose, but I think of it as eight different organizing compartments that you can use for endless craft supplies and other uses.

20. Summer party goods

Our family is quite large, so spring and summertime mean lots and lots of parties, including kids' parties, graduations, wedding showers, and other events.

Before shopping at a dedicated party store or even ordering from Amazon, stop by Dollar Tree.

You can also find gift basket fillers for pennies on the dollar, and all your bridal shower and baby shower needs.
