Dollar Tree Is Selling Adorable Mini Jars You’ll Want to Use in Every Room (They’re “Beary” Cute!)
Your new year’s organizing kick is about to get a rose-colored boost, thanks to the arrival of adorable pink gummy bear-inspired glass jars at Dollar Tree. The adorable containers, which come in a set of two, are just $1.25 a pop, and given how much of a storm the jars are causing on the internet, they’re likely not going to be on shelves for long.
While Dollar Tree shoppers already know the chain for being a thrifty organizer’s treasure trove, these little bears stand out for their cute design and color, and for being made out of glass, which one shopper noted had a quality that was “amazing for the price.”
Available in either a Valentine’s Day-inspired bright red or a baby pink hue, Dollar Tree’s Valentine’s Day Big Glass Bear Containers come with a cute painted face and a matching Mason jar-esque lid. Plus, they are bigger than you’d expect. The 6.1-inch high bears measure 3.74 inches in length and width, giving you a surprisingly good amount of storage space inside.
Of course, these little glass bear containers are perfect for gift-giving for Valentine’s Day, but are really a holiday-themed storage superhero — if you want to stuff them with candy, tea bags, coffee beans, they make a great kitchen organizing find. But why stop there?
There are also dual storage and decor options for everything from bath salts and bobby pins to vitamins and matches, adding a little romantic flair wherever they’re displayed. You can also pop the top off and store pens, dried flowers, even craft supplies like beads and buttons. Instagram creator @SimplyStagedAndStyled, who finally got the bears after “looking for years,” got creative by transforming them into the cutest mini glass lanterns with some LED tea lights.
Personally, I love using glass Mason jars for meal prepping, so I’ll be keeping an eye out for them to romanticize my overnight oats, or drill a hole in the top to add a straw for my iced matcha latte. The possibilities are truly endless, and as one shopper advised online, “if you see these, buy as many as you can.”
Unfortunately, if past years are anything to go by, these bears are a hot commodity and will fly off the shelves. One disappointed shopper said they had regret after seeing the “stinking adorable” bears at their local Dollar Store and not buying all 24, only to go back shortly after to see they were all gone.
The best option might be going to your closest Dollar Store to see if they have any in stock or to ask a store associate if they’ll be restocking ahead of Valentine’s Day. The viral glass bears aren’t currently available to order online, but Amazon has a dupe that looks almost identical.
The Nakpunar Glass Bear Jars are only available in clear and they are slightly smaller than the original, but they’re slightly more expensive, at $12.99 each. However, if you buy the 12-piece set, it’ll bring the price of each bear down to $3.33 each, which might be worth it if you were planning to buy these in bulk anyway.
