Looking for a fun way to rediscover the joy in everyday errands? Try colorhunting! This popular social media trend encourages you to take a closer look at your surroundings, and you’ll be amazed at the treasures you discover. When I visited my local Dollar Tree this week to try my hand at colorhunting, I not only had a good time, I also encountered some great deals. Keep reading to learn more about the wonderful finds I photographed on my first colorhunting journey!
What is the viral TikTok colorhunting trend?
It’s essentially a scavenger hunt in which people explore a neighborhood or city to find items of a specific color. But rather than collecting things to bring back with them, the “hunters” snap a photo of everything they see that matches the assigned hue—like a piece of clothing, a mug, a mural or even a flower.
Then there’s one final step: Participants compile their nine best photos into a 3×3 grid—and typically post it on social media—so others can enjoy the beauty too.
Though it’s most often done as a group activity, you can join in the fun all by yourself. Since I’ve always been a fan of photo scavenger hunts, I decided to give it a shot by colorhunting for green at one of my favorite stores in town: Dollar Tree.
And I was quite pleased with the results!
Not only was it an entertaining way to spend my lunch break, it also gave me a chance to see what budget-friendly gems are up for grabs. Find out more about my top green-colored picks below!
The best green Dollar Tree finds for home decor and organization
Lime plate
It seems like every store I visit this year is bursting with lemon decor—so finding this lime plate ($1.50) at Dollar Tree was a nice change of pace. Though I spotted it in the party supplies section, you don’t have to save it for your next summer bash. Set it on your kitchen counter for a pop of color all year long!
Candle holder
Dollar Tree has an amazing selection of candles, but one thing in particular caught my eye: emerald green candle holders! These gems are a safe way to burn your favorite votive candles while adding a touch of elegance to your tabletop. But the best part is the price; though they look high end, you can grab each one for just $1.25.
Storage container
If you love incorporating natural hues into your home, this sage green storage bin ($1.25) is calling your name. Not only is the color absolutely stunning, but the piece is incredibly useful too. Its spacious interior means it can help you outsmart clutter in closets, bedrooms and more.
Hand soap
Who says you need to shell out for hand soap that smells amazing? Dollar Tree has a unique cactus flower-scented soap ($1.25) that will transport you every time you wash your hands. Plus, fans of green will appreciate that the clear bottle allows you to admire the lime green hue.
Garland
Another nature-inspired must-have I stumbled across was this 4-foot-long faux plant garland for $1.75. It has the same ivy green hue as its real-life counterpart, making it impressively realistic. Use it for crafting, decorating and so much more!
Baskets
There’s certainly no shortage of wonderful storage options at Dollar Tree, and that includes these mint green baskets. Each set of two ($1.50) offers a stylish way to organize drawers and cabinets. And since they’re made of plastic, you know they’ll be easy to wipe clean!
Plant stand
Sure, you could get a neutral-colored plant stand to keep your beloved greenery off the ground this summer. But what about this bold option ($7) that will wow all who come to visit? With a sturdy metal construction and large tabletop surface, you know your potted plants will stay put all season long.
Table runner
No summer luau is complete without tropical decor, and this table runner ($1.50) is a steal. Its palm leaf design is absolutely stunning, and the glitter accent only adds to its whimsy. Drape it across your serving table for a touch of paradise.
Tote bag
If I didn’t already have so many reusable bags, this find definitely would have been coming home with me! I adore how the white inscription pops against the green background—and it spreads a little positivity too. These $1.50 tote bags are sure to go quick, so don’t miss the chance to grab yours.
No matter what shade of green you prefer, you’re sure to find your favorite at Dollar Tree. So head to your local store for your own colorhunting experience and you could walk away with some amazing deals!
