Every week at Five Below, most of what you walk past is fine — and then there are weeks like this one. Eleven picks under $7, all the kind of thing you’d pay noticeably more for anywhere else.
1. Bell Jar Candle 7oz – $5.00
The embossed bell jar look that Voluspa charges $25-plus for — same warm glow, soft scent, cozy-fall vibe — sits on the shelf here for $5. The 7-oz size burns for a while, and it doubles as a pretty piece of décor when it’s not lit.
Parting Thoughts: One of the better gift-basket fillers this season, full stop.
2. Halloween Mini LED Pumpkin – $1.00
For a dollar, you get a mini LED pumpkin with the batteries already in it — tuck it on a shelf, nestle it in a candy bowl, or line a few up along a windowsill. At $1 each, stocking up is basically a no-brainer.
Parting Thoughts: Grab several — at this price, they’re the easiest Halloween accent you’ll find.
3. Universal Magnetic Phone Stand – $5.00
Prop your phone up anywhere — on the counter while you follow a recipe, on your desk during a video call, in the bathroom while you get ready — and keep your hands free. The flip-out leg design works with non-MagSafe phones and it stays put.
Parting Thoughts: Five bucks for something you’ll reach for multiple times a day is a straight-up win.
4. Spalife Deep Dew Overnight Face Masks 3-Pack – $5.00
Three overnight face masks for $5 — apply before bed, wake up to softer, dewier skin. With three in the pack, you’re set for a few solid self-care nights, or you’ve already handled an easy beauty gift.
Parting Thoughts: Three masks, five dollars — toss one in a gift bag or keep the whole pack.
5. Bluetooth™ Shower Speaker – $5.00
Waterproof, wireless, and sticks right to the tile via the removable suction cup — the IPX4 rating means everyday water exposure won’t kill it, and it’s loud enough to hear over your own singing. I’ve bought one of these as a gift more than once for exactly that reason.
Parting Thoughts: An easy buy for anyone who considers shower time their personal concert.
6. Light Up Ghost Wreath – $5.00
Hang this on the front door before October and you’re basically done with outdoor Halloween decor — the 13-inch LED ghost wreath lights up for a genuinely spooky welcome-glow at night. Note that the AAA batteries aren’t included, so grab those while you’re there.
Parting Thoughts: Solid Halloween door upgrade for the price — just budget a dollar for batteries.
7. Fresh Feels Whipped Honey & Vanilla Body & Hair Fragrance Mist With Lip Oil – $5.00
If you’re a fan of Touchland’s personal care mist format but not the $12+ price tag, this whipped honey and vanilla fragrance mist and lip oil duo is worth a look. You get both products — the body-and-hair mist and the lip oil — in one $5 set.
Parting Thoughts: A legitimately good beauty-bag splurge when the whole duo costs five dollars.
8. Halloween Mystery Squad By Squishmallows™ Plush (Styles May Vary) – $5.00
Blind-bag Halloween Squishmallows — you don’t know which spooky-cute mystery character you’re getting until you open it, which is exactly the draw for collectors. They’re $5 each, and with ages 3 and up on the box, they work as a treat-bag insert, a desk toy, or a quick gift.
Parting Thoughts: The mystery factor is the whole appeal — and at $5, grabbing two to trade is still a great deal.
9. Junk Journal Sticker Book – $5.00
Journalers and scrapbookers, this one’s yours — over 1200 stickers in one $5 book is the kind of haul that’ll keep you busy for months. Bring it to a craft night or tuck it in a creative teen’s birthday bag.
Parting Thoughts: Over a thousand stickers for five dollars is just genuinely hard to beat.
10. Itty Bitty Stitch Kit Bag Charm Craft Set – $4.00
Everything you need to make a cute stuffed character bag charm is already in the box — no craft store run required — and the instructions are beginner-friendly enough to actually follow. It’s a great little screen-free project for an afternoon, especially for kids or first-time stitchers.
Parting Thoughts: At $4 with the full kit included, this is basically risk-free as a first craft pickup.
11. Who Is It? Board Game – $6.00
A dead ringer for Guess Who? — the same two-player mystery character game — with 24 character cards and two card holders, for $6. It’s fast to set up, works for ages 6 and up, and plays exactly like the classic most of us grew up with.
Parting Thoughts: Genuinely fun, genuinely $6 — the rare board game that earns its place in a stocking.
