Leading value retailer's $5 toys and gifts and hot-priced brand name favorites help families get the most out of their holiday budget CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 4
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Family Dollar, one of the fastest-growing discount retail chains in the United States, is a one-stop-shop for budget-savvy shoppers this holiday season. On December 1, the leading value retailer will celebrate the start of a season of savings by offering hundreds of brand-name toys and gifts for $5 or less, along with a festive variety of other value-priced gifts, electronics, home accents and stocking stuffers for the entire family.
According to a recent survey by the National Retail Federation, 84.2% of consumers reported that they would spend less this holiday season and more than half reported that they will shop for sales more often. Family Dollar is responding to the economic mindset of today's "recessionista" by providing $5 toys and gifts for every age - from infants to teenagers - featuring popular brand name items like Hot Wheels, Bakugan and Disney for less.
"Family Dollar is committed to making sure holiday shoppers save on spending without jeopardizing the joy that comes along with the gift-giving season," said Howard Levine, Chairman and CEO of Family Dollar. "Our variety of toys and gifts, offered at affordable prices, allow large families on a small budget or those searching for brand names to truly have it all during the holidays."
By having it all, Family Dollar means that its stores are dedicated to being the one-stop-shop destination for all frugal holiday shoppers. Not only will trendy toy favorites like Guitar Hero and High School Musical 3 Dance Mat be available to families for $20 at Family Dollar stores nationwide, but consumers will also experience head-to-head savings versus other popular retailers, including, but not limited to, the following:
- A Disney Princess 11-piece Tea Set available for $5 at Family Dollar versus $14.99 at a leading toy store
- My First Tricycle: priced at $10 at Family Dollar versus $34.99 at a leading nationwide toy store
- Decorative Holiday Wrapping: $2.50 for a 6-pack assortment at Family Dollar versus $8.95 for a 3-roll pack at a popular card and gift store
Family Dollar's $5 Toys and Gifts will be available in all 6,700 stores in 44 states across the country, and featured in the retailer's shopping circulars to be distributed nationally starting this December.
