5Below Haul Pt 2

You know that feeling when you walk into 5 Below and just know you're going to find some hidden gems? That's exactly how my latest trip went! I wanted to share a bit more about why I love hunting for crafty treasures there and give you some ideas for making the most of your own 5 Below hauls. One of my favorite things about 5 Below is their ever-changing selection of DIY and activity kits. This time, I spotted some incredible canvas art sets – they had these cute designs like oranges and leaves, and another with cherries, perfect for adding a pop of color to any room. And for those who love a bit more hands-on creativity, the 'Paint Your Own' kits were a dream! I saw an adorable cowboy bear and even a charming bread bungalow figure, complete with little paint pots. These are fantastic for a rainy afternoon activity, or even as unique, personalized gifts. Beyond the paint kits, I always keep an eye out for their building sets. The 'Buildable Brix Trio Flower Pot Series' kits looked like so much fun. Imagine assembling these cute flower designs and then using them to hold tiny succulents or even school supplies. They're a great way to encourage fine motor skills and creativity without breaking the bank. And speaking of nostalgia, who remembers Bloonies? I totally snagged a 3-pack! They bring back so many childhood memories and are still just as fun. It's these little unexpected finds that make 5 Below shopping so exciting. For the younger crowd, or even for adults who love a good coloring session, the character-themed activity cases are a must-see. I found a fantastic Pokémon Super Coloring, Sticker, & Design kit featuring all the favorites like Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu. They also had a vibrant 'Groovy Activity Case' and a super festive 'Halloween Activity Case' with stickers and markers. These are brilliant for keeping kids entertained on car trips or as party favors. And if you're a fan of classic characters, definitely keep an eye out for other popular licensed items. You never know when you might stumble upon a Winnie the Pooh themed gem, as their stock rotates constantly! Don't forget to check out their self-care section too! I got some really cute and colorful spa headbands – perfect for keeping your hair back during face masks or makeup application. They even had some with playful animal-like elements. It just goes to show that 5 Below has a little bit of everything for every interest. My top tip for shopping at 5 Below? Go often and go with an open mind! Their inventory changes so quickly, so if you see something you love, grab it. It might not be there next time. It's a treasure hunt every single visit, and I always walk away with something that sparks joy and creativity. Happy hunting!
