I love putting together super cheap Christmas gift basket ideas for neighbor and co-worker gifts. You can really personalize them to fit the gift recipient’s taste all for under $10. I put together a couple of ideas for both kids and adults and I got everything I needed at The Dollar Tree.
It’s a good idea to start getting some inspiration for your super cheap Christmas gift baskets before December hits so you can head to The Dollar Tree before everything starts selling out.
I went the week before Thanksgiving and still had quite a bit of items to choose from. I try to keep each gift basket to around $5 or $6 and look for things that people actually want and will use throughout the season.

Super Cheap Christmas Gift Basket Ideas
You can watch my Youtube video below seeing exactly how I put together each gift basket.
My store had several cute plastic baskets that I jazzed up with some tissue paper and pretty ribbon that was only $1. If you have some nice wooden or wicker baskets, you can certainly use those as well. You can also add some cellophane bags to make everything look put together.
The Dollar tree has so many little holiday toys, coloring books, and stocking stuffers that it was easy to put together a kid’s gift basket.
I put together one for a little girl and had the following:
- Frozen II coloring book
- unicorn socks
- Rudolph gummy candy
- Palmer’s chocolate reindeer
- Shimmer and Shine hair detangler
- holiday plate
- painting craft kit
- Christmas cup
For some more ideas you could add the following items that I also saw at The Dollar Tree:
- bubble bath
- headbands
- hair elastics
- nail polish
For the adult gift basket, I was able to find some pretty good gift ideas to throw together at my store. For this particular gift basket I found:
- coffee mug
- hot chocolate K cups
- ornament
- peppermint socks
- Russel Stover chocolates
- Christmas tin you can fill with homemade baked goods
