Last night there was a special holiday shopping event for influencers at Five Below Fifth Ave (located at 530 5th Ave). Guests explore the store’s extensive selection of holiday décor then partook of specially themed holiday drinks, “scoop it yourself” candy and delicious passed bites. (I want to apologize for all the Swedish fish that I scooped last night but they’re my favorite). I was amazed at how many holiday goodies were available including incredible gift wrap (as low as $1), gifting bags, holiday themed PJs and slippers, candy, decor and much, much more. Check out the giant plastic Christmas tree bulbs pictured above—they are so fun!
I swear that half the store is holiday themed merch. They recently got in a lot of Snoopy merch as well, and the Snoopy head slippers will definitely be under a lot of trees this year. A great gift for anyone are the holiday themed PJs teamed with giant slippers! I find that one of Five Below’s strongest areas is their candy—they seem to have more than any store I can name, and that includes the big box stores. It goes without saying that the prices at Five Below are great!
Five Below is the place to go for Christmas tree decorations. You cannot beat the amount of metallic balls you get for $4! Check out the photo above. The quality is also great! If you like giant fun holiday bric a brac like the 2 1/2 foot high red Christmas bulb shown on the right, they have a multitude of large decorations at $25 and under!
A couple of my favorite holiday gifting items are the paint it yourself North Pole Mailbox and Light Up Tree pictured here! These are what I call “crowd pleasers” and they will be items that you will save and display every year!
Above is a photo of the roped off areas for shopping (and eating) media guests. Five Below placed what they think will be the hottest holiday sellers in a roped off 30 by 20 foot area!
There are numerous cookie based kits like the Hot Cocoa Cottage pictured above. These will keep your kids busy for hours while you try to cook or get your home ready for holiday guests! Go to a Five Below store or fivebelow.com yourself to see the hundreds of bargain prices holiday gifting and decor items being offered this year. You might find it very addicting—it’s just about impossible to check out everything!
