affordable presents: daiso







I needed to create 3 birthday presents stat. Three of my girlfriends' birthdays are very close to each other and I was going to give them their presents all on the same day. So I decided to give them similar presents. 

I had never heard of Daiso until my younger sister, Ashley introduced me to this Japanese dollar store. (They just opened one local to me.) Every item in the store is $1.50 unless marked higher. I took a look around last week and I came up with these 3 presents and I only spent $20!

Apparently there are 15 locations in the U.S. - 5 in Washington and 10 in California. So hopefully there's one in your area! If not, you can always order online.

Not too shabby, right?

  1. Oh geez. I cannot walk past a dollar store without loading up a cart- but this one is so sweet! I'm on the East Coast - loving the online site. Thanks!

    Warmest regards,

    1. Daiso had a lot of weird stuff, too. I guess I should have mentioned it in this post. But I did manage to find these gems!

      Thank you for the kind words, Alexandra!

  2. Great idea! And the fact that they're all matching just ads to the cuteness! :)

    1. I thought so, too. I imagined them opening them all at the same time. It didn't work out like that, but that's life!

      Thanks for stopping by Deanna. Love your blog!

  3. I love Daiso! It has got to be one of my favorite stores to roam through, because you never know what you're going to find!
    I scored some awesome cardboard storage boxes with metal accents.
    They are gorgeous, people always ask where I got them - and they were 1.50 each! (score!)
