The holidays bring forth many festive souvenir options, but as any seasoned Walt Disney World visitor can tell you, even average priced items don’t come cheap. Take home a special holiday gift or enjoy a tasty seasonal treat for under ten dollars with one of these picks.
1. Minikins glass figures
In China at Epcot’s World Showcase, you’ll find a display of Minikins with holiday intrigue. Grab a tiny reindeer, Santa, snowman, or Christmas tree for just $2.95. With prices this low, you can buy the whole set and barely go over the ten dollar cap. Though they’re diminutive, the detail in these small friends is so stunning, they’re a great gift option.
2. Blown glass ornaments
The Holidays Around the World section in Germany features a blown glass ornament display that’s sure to catch your eye. While most of the ornaments are priced between $20 and $30, there are large baskets of small ornaments behind the demonstration table in the center of the kiosk. Here you can get a blown glass ornament in stunning one-of-a-kind colors for $7.95. While you’re there, you can watch how these ornaments are made. The artist is hard at work still and it’s worth taking a few minutes to peer in and see how these trinkets are blown.
3. Gourmet S’more
The Prost! Holiday beer, wine and snack kiosk in Germany offers holiday snacks that will easily draw you in. While you can get delectable cookies and caramel treats in Germany year-round, the holiday menu features a Gingersnap S’more or Caramel S’more for just $4.49. Pair it with a beer or glass of wine for between five and eight dollars and you still won’t go over ten bucks by much.
4. Mickey Santa Cookies
You can find these Mickey Santa cookies throughout Walt Disney World. Neatly shrink wrapped, they can even go home with you as a gift for friends and family if you pack them carefully. The soft cookies are iced neatly with the iconic character’s face. If you’re looking for a quick sweet treat, these cookies are big enough to split and at $4.95, they don’t put too much of a dent in your budget.
5. Holiday lollipop bouquets
In red and green, these lollipop bouquets have a distinctly holiday flair. The wrappers feature Santa Mickey on them as well, and each lollipop is shaped like Mickey’s head. They’re bundled together in groups of five, making them a great pick for the price of $5.95. While these are slightly smaller than some of the other lollipops available, they’re also much easier to eat without worrying about how to store a sticky mess that’s half finished.
6. Holiday pins
Whether you’re an avid pin collector, or you just want something festive to take home, holiday pins are a great pick. These souvenirs are packaged on special red holiday cards, so they’re easy to spot when you’re browsing pin kiosks or displays. This Mickey snowman is a classic choice, but you’ll find plenty of options available throughout all the parks. At $7.95, this pin is well below the ten dollar benchmark.
7. Retro holiday dishes
The line of 2014 holiday merchandise at Walt Disney World has a distinctly retro flair. While you’ll have to shell out a lot of cash for something like stockings or a tree skirt you can take home this charming décor theme in small doses with these adorable dishes. Use them for soap, butter, or as a catch-all for jewelry or change. These are a versatile décor choice, and so cute you may just end up propping them up on a shelf for all to see. Each dish is $9.95.
If you’re lucky enough to see Walt Disney World alight with holiday cheer, you’re sure to want a piece of it for yourself. With these picks, you can indulge a bit in a sweet treat or special souvenir for less than ten dollars.
