They'd be great for chips and dip since they have separate sections.

Fruit-shaped serving platters
For your other serving needs, Dollar Tree also has a selection of fruit-shaped serving platters and bowls, "with lots of them to choose from," notes McFadden.
Shopper @kimberlymichbeauty also showed these items in a recent TikTok video featuring the watermelon, lime, and pineapple versions.

Swimsuit sacks
These swimsuit sacks are part of the Dollar Tree Plus section, so they'll cost you $5, as @shoppingretailwithdee pointed out in a TikTok video. However, if you're a regular at the beach or the pool, they might be worth the higher price to stop your bathing suit from getting everything else in your bag wet.
