3 Gifts You Can Make With Dollar Store Finds

Turn dollar store items into gifts that wow with minimal time or money. We'll show you how to create the ultimate movie lovers pack with savory and sweet seasonings, make a mug cake gift set and upcycle a picture frame into a trendy dry-erase board.

Create a monogrammed (dishwasher-safe!) mug that makes dozens of delicious, single-serving cakes for the sweet tooth in your life. You can pick up an assortment of mugs, kitchen tools and cake mix ingredients at the dollar store.

You will need: a mug, oil-based paint markers, a felt sticker or a vinyl letter, a mini whisk and spatula, a gift tag of choice, twine, a cellophane bag, angel food cake mix, devil’s food cake mix and chocolate morsels.

First, clean and dry the mug. Then, place a felt sticker or vinyl letter onto your mug to use as the stencil for your design.
