Door mats

First, Emma shared a door mat hack that will blow your mind. She grabbed two black low pile rugs that she placed vertically side by side in front of her front door. Next, she snagged a cute welcome mat and placed it directly on top of the black mats. The black mats frame the welcome mat beautifully.

Ice cube trays

Next, Emma found some ice cube trays that are particularly awesome because they come with a lid. No more spills or splashing water as you fill up your tray!

Patterned pouch

Emma also scored a pattern pouch that’s perfect for the pool or beach. It comes with a large compartment to hold all of your essentials and then a clear pocket to hold your phone and keep it safe.

Collapsible basket

Dollar Tree also carries a collapsible basket that’s easy to store when not in use but also great for your car’s trunk or for transporting items to and from the beach. Emma also recommended a jumbo mesh laundry basket that does the same thing if you can’t find the basket version.

Door hooks

Emma loves using these on her fence outdoors to hang dry towels, bathing suits and more.

Garden stakes and lanterns

For affordable outdoor lighting, make sure to visit Dollar Tree’s gardening section. Grab a lawn stake and one of Dollar Tree’s solar lanterns and you have a cute piece of functional outdoor decor.

Clear resusable storage bags

Emma recommends picking up Dollar Tree’s reusable storage bags. These are a multipurpose item that can be used for so many different uses such as snacks, swimsuit storage and more.

Weighted paper plate holders

“These are great if you eat outdoors a lot in the summer time,” explained Emma.
