In a perfect world, you’d pick out the perfect highly-personal, deeply meaningful gift for everyone on your list.

But we don’t live in that world.

We live in a world where the kids go back to school and then somehow – surprise! – the holidays are here. And while you scramble to plan the party, decorate the house, take a decent family photo, bake the cookies, and write the cards, you also need to buy ALL THE GIFTS. That means not only choosing just the right thing for each of your family members, but also for your Secret Santa at work, your neighbor, your favorite coworker, your kid’s teachers… You get the idea.

We’re lucky this world has Dollar General. Your neighborhood Dollar General has everything you need to make the season merry, bright and hassle-free, including great gifts for everyone on your list. Our gift picks from Dollar General are thoughtful and affordable so you can spread the cheer without spending all your coins, no matter who you’re shopping for.

1. The absolute cutest containers for Christmas treats

Everyone loves sweets at Christmas, from cookies for Santa to elaborate, multi-step showstopper desserts. Dollar General has adorable containers to pack up your homemade – *wink wink* – goodies for a thoughtful gift. It’s a sweet way to show you care without spending a fortune.

2. Cash money

Two things are true: it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t appreciate a gift of extra cash, and it’s hard to find someone who admits they appreciate a gift of extra cash. This year, be the hero. Dollar General has a variety of gift cards, so all your someones can get what they really want. And you can even send money through Western Union if your loved ones are far away.

3. Games everyone loves

The holidays mean a lot of down time, which sounds great until you’re on day 3 of crap weather and your brother-in-law’s loud chewing is driving you nuts. The surprising solution? Games. They’re the perfect distraction. Grab a stack of classics and teach those kids a thing or two about how you used to slay back in the day. Thank us later.

4. Cozy hats, gloves, pajamas and slippers

Even in places where you run your AC on Christmas Day, literally everyone on your list loves to feel warm and cozy. It’s just part of the whole Christmas thing. Stock up on gifts from Dollar General (like throws and slippers!) that let them cuddle up and snuggle down.

5. Bluetooth speakers that only look expensive

A Bluetooth speaker lets them enjoy their music any time, anywhere – and look cool doing it. Secret Santa shopping? Done!

6. Self-Care Goodies

We’re all looking for ways to take better care of ourselves. So why not make it easier with some sweet and simple gifts? Bath bombs are a great gift for your favorite neighbor. Your beloved, “please never leave us” babysitter will love this little hand care set or grab a few eyeshadow palettes from DG’s beauty line, Believe Beauty. You can even create your own baskets of cheer with soaps, lotions, makeup, lip balm, you name it — and put a sweet holiday spin on the basics. Dollar General’s got you covered.

7. Candy!

Fill them with cheer. Then fill ‘em with sugar. Whether they’ve been naughty or nice, candy is another one of those “always fits” gifts!

Have these easy, affordable gifts on hand and you’re ready for whatever this crazy season throws at you. You’ll find everything you need – and then some – at your neighborhood Dollar General.

Dollar General makes shopping for your friends and family easier. This holiday season, save time and money at Dollar General.
