10 Dollar Tree Dupes of Crate & Barrel Items That Are Just as Good as the Real Deal

Crate & Barrel is the place to go for that polished, put-together look, but a fully stocked table and cabinet could cost hundreds. Dollar Tree carries surprisingly similar glassware, dinnerware, candleholders, and decor, mostly for $1.25 to $3 apiece.

Our list pairs 10 Dollar Tree finds with their Crate & Barrel lookalikes, from long-stem wine glasses and gold charger plates to faux eucalyptus stems. Standouts include a ribbed glass candleholder for $3 that echoes a $30 hurricane, and white dinner plates that cost less than a cup of coffee. Shopping smart like this is one of the easiest ways to avoid wasting money on home decor, especially before holiday hosting season.

Hosting Thanksgiving or a holiday open house means you need a lot of glassware, and fast. These classic long-stem white wine glasses hold 14 ounces, with a simple, elegant shape that blends in on any table, whether you're setting it for two or 20.

Crate & Barrel's Hip 14-Oz. White Wine Glass has the same capacity and costs $10.95 apiece. A set of eight runs about $88 at Crate & Barrel, compared with $12 at Dollar Tree, a savings of more than $75.

Just note that many items on Dollar Tree's website are sold by the full case, so stop by a store if you only need a few. One shopper summed them up as an "Amazing buy for sturdy, classy wine glasses for a wedding reception."

Ribbed and fluted glass is everywhere in home decor right now, and this candle holder delivers that look for just $3. It comes in assorted sizes and pairs beautifully with a pillar candle or flickering LED candle on a mantel, sideboard, or dining table.

The design is a close match for Crate & Barrel's Venus Fluted Glass Hurricane Candle Holders, which start at $29.95 and climb to $59.95 for the largest size. Even the least expensive Crate & Barrel option costs nearly $27 more than the Dollar Tree pick.

At that price, you could buy a few in different sizes and group them for a layered, high-end centerpiece. It's an easy way to warm up a room for fall and winter without spending much.

Every home cook knows the joy of having ingredients measured and ready before you start cooking. These clear glass prep bowls come in a set of four for $1.50, perfect for holding chopped onions, spices, and sauces, or for serving small portions of dips and condiments at a party.

Crate & Barrel sells the Anchor Hocking 4-Oz. Glass Prep Bowl for $3.50 each. Buying four of those would cost $14, which means the Dollar Tree set saves you $12.50.

Nothing dresses up a holiday table quite like a gold charger. These 13-inch charger plates have a decorative beaded rim and a warm gold finish that instantly makes a simple white dinner plate look special.

Crate & Barrel's Gold-Plated Charger Plate costs $19.95 apiece. Keep in mind that the Dollar Tree version is plastic, not plated metal, so it's best for decorative use under a dinner plate rather than serving food directly.

The savings are hard to ignore. Setting a table for eight with Crate & Barrel's chargers would cost about $160, while eight from Dollar Tree come to just $12. That leaves plenty in the budget for centerpieces, candles, or the meal itself.

A good mug is the foundation of a slow, cozy morning, and this one holds a generous 15 ounces of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. The simple white stoneware design matches nearly any dish set and makes it easy to replace a chipped mug without hunting for a perfect match.

Crate & Barrel's Hudson 15-oz. Natural Stoneware Mug holds the same amount and costs $9.95. Four of those would run nearly $40, compared with $6 for four from Dollar Tree.

These mugs also double as an easy gift base. Fill one with cocoa packets, candy, or a gift card for teachers, neighbors, or coworkers this holiday season. As shopper Jennifer put it, it's a "Basic and simple coffee mug."

Faux eucalyptus has become a go-to for adding soft, natural greenery to a room without worrying about watering or wilting. These artificial eucalyptus-style stems come in assorted colors, so you could mix and match shades for a fuller arrangement.

Crate & Barrel's Small Faux Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Stem costs $26.95 for a single stem. Three Dollar Tree stems cost just $5.25, while three from Crate & Barrel would set you back nearly $81.

Tuck a few into a glass vase on the kitchen table, weave them into a holiday wreath, or lay them across a mantel with candles for an effortless seasonal display that looks far pricier than it was.

Taper candles instantly make a dinner feel like an occasion, and these 4-inch clear glass holders let them do the talking. The simple design works with white, ivory, or colored tapers and suits any decor style, from farmhouse to modern.

They're a close match for Crate & Barrel's Genoa Clear Glass Taper Candle Holders, which start at $9.95. A pair from Crate & Barrel costs about $20, while a pair from Dollar Tree costs just $2.50.

Clear glass canisters make a kitchen counter look organized and intentional, and they show off everything from pasta and rice to coffee beans and cookies. These Dollar Tree jars hold 33.8 fluid ounces and come with stainless steel lids for a sleek, modern touch.

For comparison, Crate & Barrel's smallest Heritage Hill jar, the Heritage Hill 64-Oz. Glass Jar with Lid, costs $14.95. It holds nearly twice as much and comes with a glass lid, but even buying two Dollar Tree jars to match the capacity would cost just $3.

Line a few up in the pantry, use them for bathroom cotton balls and swabs, or fill them with holiday candy for a festive countertop display.

You don't need Crate & Barrel prices to get a polished, welcoming home, and these Dollar Tree finds prove it. Swapping a few name-brand pieces for these lookalikes could save you hundreds, and using one of the best cash back credit cards is a smart way to make your money go further.
