Lizzy Edwards, Staff Editor • March 21, 2024

Whether you are looking for a cheap gift or just browsing for fun, Five Below is the place to go. Five Below offers a wide variety of products for almost any need at affordable prices. Since there are so many options, I made a list of the best bargains that can be found at Five Below.

Water bottles- $5.00

Five Below has a variety of water bottles and jugs. While they might not be Stanleys, these water bottles are a decent size and are insulated to keep drinks cold. They also come in several different colors. Overall, these water bottles are a great choice if you are in need of a large water bottle, but do not want to pay for a name brand.

Lindor chocolates- $5.00

Five Below sells many different types of candy and chocolate, but the best deal you can get is for Lindor chocolate truffles. Lindor is a popular brand that offers quality chocolate in many different flavors. You can buy Lindor chocolates at most stores, but you won’t find them this cheap anywhere but Five Below.

Toss and stick set- $4.00

This item might not look like much, but it can be a lot of fun. To use it, two people each wear a paddle around their hand and try to toss the ball back and forth between the sticky surfaces of the paddles. This can be a fun, easy game to play with friends and family—and it also makes a great gift.

Graphic tees- $5.55

Although they are slightly over $5, the graphic tees at Five Below are a great deal. Graphic tees can cost over $20 at other stores, so Five Below is the place to go if you need one for any reason. There is also a much larger selection of graphic tees at Five Below than at most other stores.

Candles- $5.55

This item is also over $5, but it is still a good bargain. It is hard to find candles that are cheap, pretty, and smell nice, but the candles at Five Below meet all of these criteria. There is a good selection of different sizes and scents available.

**These are several claw clip packs. They can be found on rotating shelves, along with other accessories.** *Photo by Lizzy Edwards.*

Claw clips- $3.25

Five Below is a good place to go if you are looking for a claw clip. They offer a variety of different sizes, colors, and styles of clips, so you can go as simple or as fancy as you want. They are also sold in small packs, meaning you don’t have to buy several extra clips just to get the one you want.
