The Highly-Rated Vase From Dollar Tree Shoppers Are Constantly Begging To Have Restocked

Plating the ideal festive meal can be stressful, with big decisions like what classic holiday sides are the perfect pairing for your ham. Of course, food isn't the only consideration. You eat with your eyes, and any adept host worth their salt knows that you want your table to look as good as the food you're serving. Budget dinnerware sets can add color and theming to your meal, like Dollar Tree holiday plates that are cheaper than comparable dishes sold at Williams Sonoma. Speaking of Dollar Tree, we've recently spied another table-setting must-have that boggled us with both its price and beauty.

Available both in stores and online (when it hasn't sold out!) Dollar Tree's ribbed bud vase is a versatile essential for gracious tablescaping. It's 8.5 inches tall and retails for $1.75. If you buy it online, there's a minimum order of 24 vases. To put the scope of the deal in comparison, Hobby Lobby is selling an identical 8.5-inch bud vase for $3.99. 

Especially if you are buying multiples to arrange around your dining room, that savings of almost $2.25 per vase can really add up ... indeed, it comes to more than two for the price of one! Online reviews on Dollar Tree's website boast that these vases are durable, lovely, and perfect for special occasions. It seems that, as of this writing, the company caved to requests and restocked, since many of the comments complain that they couldn't be bought in bulk for a long time.

Bud vases are too narrow for big bouquets, so simplicity is the name of the game when filling these vessels with flowers and greenery. For autumn and winter, single sprigs of evergreen, twigs, or holly are always appropriate, and these vases will look pretty arranged in groups on your table runner or as a centerpiece for your get-togethers. A couple of roses are always elegant and striking, especially when selected in shades that complement your dinnerware, napkins, and décor. If you would like a year-round option that suits any event, eucalyptus is nice, plentiful, and delightfully fragrant. Keep in mind that you can save money and time spent tending to droopy cuttings by purchasing higher-quality artificial greenery. When selected carefully, you needn't sacrifice appearance for a satisfying price — look for coupons from your local craft store.

With bud vases like the ones from Dollar Tree, flora isn't your only option, either! For a winter table, an arrangement of candy canes is delightfully festive, and don't overlook the appeal of colored stones, craft snow (use Epsom salts as a budget substitute), or tall taper candles. You can dress up your plain vases with twine or ribbon to further match your aesthetic, or leave them as-is and let the pretty ribbed glass speak for itself. One thing is for sure: you won't be able to get enough of these inexpensive, useful vases, which are a decorating essential at a great price!
