Five Below

Hey everyone! If you're anything like me, you absolutely adore a good Five Below run. It's like a treasure hunt every single time, and you never know what amazing 'things' you'll stumble upon for such a great price! Lately, my obsession has been their incredible selection of novelty lip products, and let me tell you, they do not disappoint. Beyond the super cute lip balms and oils I recently snagged – yes, I'm talking about that adorable Swedish Fish Cherry Lip Oil and the nostalgic Jolly Rancher Cherry Lip Oil – Five Below is a goldmine for so much more. Seriously, where else can you find a Strawberry Gummy Bear Flavored Lip Gloss that actually looks like a gummy bear, or a Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Lip Oil that smells heavenly? I even spotted an Oreo Chocolate Flavored Lip Balm that looks exactly like the cookie, and a classic Hershey's Milk Chocolate Lip Oil. They also have unique finds like the Pepsi Wild Cherry Flavored Lip Balm and the super fun Baby Bottle Pop Watermelon Flavored Lip Balm. And for those who love quirky items, keep an eye out for the Taste Beauty Sushi Bar Cucumber Flavored Lip Gloss – it's definitely a conversation starter! Don't forget the sweet treats like the Cold Stone Creamery Strawberry Flavored Lip Balm too. But 'things in five' isn't just about lip care. Oh no, it's so much bigger than that! Every time I visit, I make sure to check out these other departments: Fun & Games: From trendy fidget toys to board games, craft kits, and even small electronics like earbuds or phone accessories, there’s always something new to entertain. These are perfect for stocking stuffers, party favors, or just a little pick-me-up. Home & Room Decor: You'd be surprised at the cute and stylish items you can find to spruce up your living space. Think cozy blankets, fairy lights, small storage solutions, and even seasonal decorations that look way more expensive than five bucks. I've found some really aesthetic pieces for my desk here! Snacks & Candy: This is a no-brainer! Five Below is famous for its unique and imported snack selection. Beyond the usual, you can often find international candies, novelty drinks, and limited-edition treats that are hard to get elsewhere. It's my go-to for movie night munchies. Beauty & Self-Care (beyond lip products!): While the lip oils are a highlight, they also carry face masks, bath bombs, hair accessories, and makeup brushes. It’s a great place to experiment with new products without committing to a high price tag. Seasonal & Holiday Items: This section is always changing and always amazing. Whether it's spooky Halloween decor, festive Christmas ornaments, or cute Valentine's Day gifts, Five Below has you covered with themed items that are budget-friendly and fun. My pro tip for shopping at Five Below? Go in with an open mind and be ready to explore! New stock arrives frequently, so if you see something you love, grab it, because it might not be there next time. It’s the perfect spot for finding unique gifts, treating yourself to something fun, or just enjoying a little retail therapy without breaking the bank.
