Well, it can get you numerous items off the McDonald's breakfast menu (I have a soft spot for a sausage biscuit and a hash brown) and it can get you oodles of gifts and trinkets at Michaels!
Last night I popped into Michaels to pick up a few paper goods to use in a place card making project I am doing for this weekend. I just so happened to stumble on their revamped dollar section and could not get enough. They had the BEST assortment of items I have ever seen...
I loved all these cards! The drawings were whimsical and could be paired with other items in their matching collection (see recipe boxes below) for a fun hostess gift. I thought the foil pineapple and gold cards were tres chic for just a $1. They are actually a lovely linen paper- much more elegant than you would think in my opinion.
The recipe boxes also had matching cards as well as gift tags, note cards and magnets. Again, go grab a few sets, wrap in cello and you have an instant gift on a budget!
The Shabby Chic notebooks and note cards reminded me of the Kate Spade rose collection circa 2000.
The pens in the collection were very fun and perfect for a preppy purse!
I have a soft spot for folders and fell.in.love with the pink and green ballerina flats! I bought several packs (you get four for a $1) and cannot wait to put these to good use. There were also rubber stamps and note pads that went with this collection.
Every desk should be stocked with whimsical pencils! I think they make working fun and the days fly by.
Wouldn't these note cards be perfect for a Tiffany's bridal shower or luncheon?
This fun collection reminded me of Dorothy Draper and the Greenbrier. I adore fun Kleenex and what better than some with your initial?
I fell in love with the above square cards. The Greek key and lattice went right into my basket.
Even though it was a mere 40 degrees in Dallas yesterday these bright colors and happy prints reminded me that Spring is near!I most certainly had a successful Michaels outing last night. However, even as successful as it was, thanks to the dollar section, it did not break the bank!

A 'mere' 40? Oh, Hopsy!! It was 29 here in D.C. this morning - and windy!! BRRRR.
I can't wait to get to Michaels! You scored some great things.
H - I got the linen paper cards as stocking stuffers! I bought myself an armload of the pineapple ones (natch, I am southern & from VA!) and gave my Mom several of the sun ones. They are SUCH a nice thickness aren't they? So funny, we obvs have great taste!
Love them!! I spotted these at our Michaels store too. So adorable.
Oh goodness. Now I cannot get to Michaels soon enough. Thanks for the share. :)

Great post and such cute finds! I made some hostess gifts for my cousin's bridal shower a couple years back with items from the $1 section of Michael's. Thanks for the reminder! I'll have to stop by there tomorrow.

Thank you for posting this! There is a Michael's not too far from my mother's house. Looks like I'll be going there tomorrow or on Monday! Those gold foil cards look like they cost a lot more than $1!

Thank you so much for these suggestions! I need to rush to Michaels right now!
Don't you just adore Michaels!? I always enjoy sorting though the dollar bins to see what treasures I can find hiding. Hobby Lobby is another place that has some great stuff.

Love their dollar section, I got the cutest cupcake lip gloss pot there, and I love Mary Engelbreit which they always have. Target's One Spot is also awesome isnt it!?
oh my heavens! i will clearly be heading to Michaels when i return to dallas on tuesday. they have finally re-stocked their $1 section. it was getting so barren after christmas. their $1 section makes for the BEST thank you notes after christmas.
I absolutely love the dollar section of Michaels. They've really upped the quality of the products and even put them on sale sometimes too! I stock up on them year-long for stocking stuffers.
Also - I bought the ecru linen-look notecards a while back and looked up how to make your own envelope liners with really nice scrapbook paper also from Michaels!
J'adore
Love it all! Going to go asap!
I must get to Michaels! I could already spend hours in there...Love love your blog!
Oh I love the Michaels dollar bin - will definitely have to go. I love the shabby chic items! Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for telling us about your dollar finds. I love Michael's and I love Mary Engelbreit. I went there today and bought "sun" ecru stationary, along with some Mary E. goodies for myself and my friends. Also bought some pretty pink pasley note cards. I had so much fun!! Thank again.
A trip to Michaels is definitely in my future :) Thanks for sharing!
