This Friendly Flight Attendant Shared Her Smart Dollar Tree Storage Hack, and I Can’t Wait to Try It on My Next Trip

As an organizing enthusiast and avid traveler, I’m always on the lookout for travel storage hacks. So when I recently came across a TikTok video by flight attendant and content creator Paige Pozas (@sahmflightattendant) sharing her travel hacks and must-have picks from Dollar Tree, I knew I had to heed her advice. Her ideas are both smart and affordable, and I can’t wait to give them a try on my next trip.

In the video, Pozas demonstrates how she uses a Dollar Tree makeup brush holder and mini glass containers (in 6-milliliter and 17-milliliter sizes) as an organizer for everything from condiments and beauty products to coffee supplies and tech accessories. Priced at only $1.25 each, these glass containers work perfectly to store items like protein powders, seasonings, beauty products, and coffee supplies without any leaking. Furthermore, she notes that the “possibilities are endless,” showing how she also uses the makeup brush holder without the jars to store her iPad accessories.

I’m planning on purchasing two of these Dollar Tree makeup brush holders myself. I’ll use one for my tech and office accessories, including my AirPods, phone chargers, pens, and Apple Pencil. In the second, I’ll place the larger jars to organize my daily vitamins and beauty supplies.

If you can’t find these items at your local Dollar Tree, or if you don’t live near one, you can re-create this smart travel storage hack using this makeup brush bag and these mini 5-milliliter or 15-milliliter jars from Amazon. They’re a bit more expensive than the Dollar Tree versions, but they remain quite budget-friendly!
