Often, when I find something new or that I deem worthy of sharing, I can't wait to share it with others!
I recently noticed that a new store had opened up nearby which I hadn't heard of before. The local Jo-Ann store had down sized a short while back(much to my dismay), and what was once their large store, was now two separate stores. I had mentioned to my daughter my disappointment of their downsizing and that I had noticed the new place was called five Below. She raved about five Below and how it was a type of dollar store, except everything is five dollars and under, or five below! "Oh, five below, I get it now!" I said. Funny, I was thinking it was winter gear as in five below zero or something? I had envisioned ski gear, winter sports equipment and such, along with hats, scarfs and boots.(Uh, I think the winter has gotten to me, it's been too cold, what can I say ?)
Well, I knew I had to go check it out for myself, and in doing so quickly found that I liked it! At five Below everything in fact is from $1 to $5 dollars! There are many great items to be had there, personal items, bath & body, makeup, and hair accessories. Sports goods, team gear, toys & games. Party goods, candy and snacks. Room decor, organization supplies, office and school supplies. Media items-cell phone cases, headphones & speakers, video games and DVDs, and so much more.
I noticed that five Below also sold gift cards for $5 and $10 or you can choose your own amount. They even have some craft supplies! This proved handy for me because I had planned to start on shopping for my Easter basket goodies for the grands, and found some great stuff there for those. Quite pleased with that for sure, and since much of the items were better than what you might find at the dollar store. This is one of those 'change is good' moments for me...I was disappointed by loosing part of a favorite store, but now I've gained something to like and enjoy! Check them out at fivebelow.com, you may find one near you, and that you like it too!

A few items from my visit to five Below:
I thought this cute little computer lamp would be great for those late night blogging sessions. It attaches via a USB port, and you can twist it to any position. Also I really like the color! Cost: $5
When I saw this dish drying mat I got the idea that it might be great to use for stepping onto, out of the shower. It measures 19" x 16" and I sure do like the color of it too! Cost $3
The many cell phone accessories were a pleasant unexpected find, like this case! Cost: $5
I think the Grands will enjoy these cute Barbie and Disney Princesses kites! Cost: $2 each
The many cell phone accessories were a pleasant unexpected find, like this case! Cost: $5
These bamboo baskets will be perfect to fill with goodies to make
fun Easter Baskets too! Cost: $1 each
And a few sweet treats to add to those baskets. Cost: $3
I'm sure I'll be wanting another visit to five Below before very long!...
