All the fancy dinnerware items we found at Dollar Tree, starting at just $1.25 apiece

You might think of Dollar Tree as a place to scoop up wallet-friendly gifting essentials, party supplies and the occasional snack. But anyone who's spent enough time in the store knows there's a lot more to be discovered in those overstuffed aisles, including one of our favorite hidden-gem categories: the home goods.

This is especially true of Dollar Tree's dining and kitchenware collections where, on any given day, you can nab beautiful — and surprisingly affordable — stemless wine glasses, patterned stoneware and ceramic mugs. Read on for eight Dollar Tree dupes that will give your space an elevated feel for a mere fraction of what you'd spend at a high-end home store.

A quick note before you dive in: Given its low prices, Dollar Tree requires customers to purchase some items in higher quantities. For example, you may have to buy a dozen plates when you only need eight. But considering each piece only costs $1.25, you're still getting a bargain — potentially with a few extra items should anything break or go missing. Choose "free in-store pickup" at checkout to avoid paying for shipping.
