Heart ornaments: $1.50 each
Jessica Flick thermoses: $4 each (RSP: ~$15)
Glittery bird ornaments: $1.25
All @ Dollarama
I was looking for more ornaments. I really wanted more red hearts, so thankfully I managed to find some.
They had these pretty Thermos brand thermoses there, I just couldn't resist! I usually see them for around $20 so this felt like a steal.

Plaid bird ornament: $.34 (RSP: $4)
Winter forest set of 4 silver dinner plates: $6.24 (RSP: $20)
Winter forest set of 4 black side plates: $3.94 (RSP: $12)
All @ Superstore
I heard that the Christmas stuff was 90% off, so I was excited to come. Only the bird was 90% off. Most of the kitchen stuff was a bit less than 70% off, but it was a decent deal so I picked some up.
The dinner plates are a shiny silver, but they're unmicrowavable because of that. They had a red one that was microwavable, but I didn't like it as much:
The side plates came in red too:
But I preferred the black, since it wasn't as festive. I think I could use them year round.
They have one in silver that I didn't see there:
I'll totally buy it if I find it elsewhere! On second thought, I might get those red ones too.

Pack of 3 bird ornaments: $2.64 (RSP: $9)
Pack of 6 metallic deer head ornaments: $1.74 (RSP: $6)
Burlap fox ornament: $1.44 (RSP: $5)
Plaid mounted deer head ornaments: $1.14 each (RSP: $4 each)
All @ Superstore
I'm so surprised...I didn't think Superstore would have such hip ornaments! Those mounted deer heads are just about the neatest thing I've seen. I love those shiny deer head too!
All of the ornaments were 70% off, and there was a surprisingly decent selection left.
Even more surprising -- most of them are on their website! I didn't know they showed inventory on there, that must be something new. They had pictures of two of the ones I bought:

I was considering these ones, but passed because I thought I had enough:

I kind of wish I got that bird now. It would have been $1.14! Maybe if I see it again.
The quality for all of them was really handmade...there was such variance between all of them! The features were pretty wonky at times, so it took a while to pick a good one out.
A lot of them had a ton of excess glue and other problems like that. That's fine for the price I paid, but I would expect more for their regular price!
They are made out of nicer materials though. Well, nicer than a dollar store. I like how they used a lot of natural elements in their ornaments, like straw, pine cones, and twigs.
The reason I liked that bird so much was because all of its feathers were made of twigs! I thought it looked pretty neat.
But I couldn't find one that looked just right, which is why I didn't end up getting it.

Owl pillow cases: $2
Pack of two kitchen towels: $2
Green glitter deer ornament: $1
Glitter heel ornaments: $1
Pink glitter bird ornaments: $1.25
All @ Dollarama
Just had to check out the Christmas section! This was the last day afterall...they had a surprisingly decent selection left. There were some things that I hadn't even seen before, that deer being one of them.
I just love deer, so I had to get it. They had a gold one too, but that colour just wasn't very exciting. I wonder what other colours they came in.
They had those cute shoes in gold glitter as well, but I thought this red/gold combination was much better.
I've seen those glittery birds everywhere, but never in this pretty pink. I had to get it!
The details looked kind of crappy, which is why I held off so long, despite seeing them practically every time I visited any Dollarama.
Most of them have totally messed up eyes...the positioning is haphazard, and the eyes were rarely round or the same size! Sometimes they weren't even painted in the eye socket...I've seen a lot of black dotted cheeks!
But they actually look great on the tree, so I kind of wish I bought more! I remember seeing them in silver, two types of gold, green, fuchsia, hot pink, light purple, red, and light blue. So many shades, maybe even more that I've forgotten. At the very least, I would have picked up the light blue if I knew how good they were going to look!
Here's hoping they come back next year...though I don't remember seeing any of the same stuff from last year!

Fuzzy polar bear ornament: $1.25
Clear plastic reindeer: $1.25 each
Rhinestone stickers: $1.50 each
All @ Dollarama
I've never seen those deer anywhere, and I only saw those two misplaced somewhere. I wasn't sure if I'd find them again, so I had to pick them up!
They look a lot more expensive than the are...they really look like glass, or at least a nice quality lucite. A steal for the price!
They actually have a lot of neat holiday stuff right now. Some of it looks cheap, but the majority of it looks better than most dollar store stuff. I'm going to have to take a closer look the next time I go! Today it was a zoo, I couldn't wait to get out of there..

Pearl deer necklace: $3.25 (BIN: $9.29)
Gold 7 dwarfs double ring: $1.04 (BIN: $6.79)
Rhinestone zebra double ring: $.99 (Highest: $3)
Rhinestone panda ring: $.99 (Highest: $2.95)
All off eBay.
I'm really happy about that deer necklace. The seller stopped listing them shortly after, and I definitely wouldn't have paid full price for it.
I just wish I found out about it sooner...some people got it as low as a $1! I love the design though, so I don't mind paying a bit more for it.
The seven dwarfs ring seemed like such a cool and novel idea, but it does look a little dumb on. I'll probably use it as a handle for a purse.
It's actually a knockoff of this disney couture ring:
That one retailed for $60! I'm sure the details are finer, but I'm happy with mine. It still looks pretty good.
