Still watching the video, but wanted to agree wholeheartedly: I bought a cheapazoid Conair blow dryer in the late 90s. I still use to this day. They last forever!
Shopping at 5 Below is basically “Read the room”… things that can’t get screwed up too much (phone cases, candy, books, art stuff sometimes, basic toys, discounted name brand beauty/home stuff = OK), anything with electricity is going to be way cheaper and flimsy feeling and is too good to be true.
Bug out bags definitely updated since we moved to a high wildfire area 😅. Best new thing?? Drinking water packaged in pouches. It’s like 8 oz per individual pouches, lasts for years unopened, and I stashed them with our bags and the dogs’ bags. I was so excited. My husband was like “what, it’s water….” - fine, see if I give you my extra pouch when all the water is gone!! 😂😂
These products are well below Vivian Tries usual videos. But the presenter is gorgeous and is not responsible for the poor quality. Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New year to all!!😘😘
Thank you, Vivian, for exposing 5 below. I will not shop at 5 below. If I refuse to purchase Dollar Tree plus items, why would I shop in an overpriced dollar store?
Without you Vivian I wouldn’t even know about five below. I went and found the cutest “fairy” type moon lights and I love them! They have what looks to be a good candy selection.
I was a freight manager at 5- Below for 9 year's and unfortunately the company doesn't give any stores proper hour's to run the store correctly. And it's mostly teenagers applying because it's a fun store, the self checkout's are in my opinion the downfall of alot of businesses, A couple would be great for people wanting to check themselves out but we need communication with people and I actually loved my job and interacting with my customers. I left about a year and a half ago and I haven't heard many good comments about the store or products since.
Sometimes they have great bargains that aren't trash. I bought two full size lava lamps and a glitter lava lamp there for five dollars each. They are plug ins too, which I like since I don't have to replace the batteries or recharge them like the usb ones. They have lasted six years so far. The prices for the exact same ones online are about forty dollars each.
I have the Buzz Lightyear toy. My son is 8 and autistic... He loves it and mine worked, the battery cover was hard to get to though, but once you got it off and the batteries in, it was perfect for my son.
I like my 5 Below. I got cute slippers there, toys for my cats and a carrier, and some cute storage baskets. I always browse the candy/snacks section and books.
Vivian I love your channel! Been a subscriber since the start. You have to audition for comedy. I laugh myself silly every time I watch! You have it all info and humor! Michelle
Vivian, you said something about retiring Five Below from your roster of trying products. Is that what happened to a lot of your as seen on tv products that you used to test? I did notice a lot of those products were cheap and crappy. I think a lot of companies now a days are purposely making there products more cheap and flimsy so they can make more money. Its frustrating especially when the prices keep climbing up and up.
I went into my local 5 below because of a video of yours that I saw. It was a brand new store, very clean. I was impressed. It was very well stocked. Plenty staff to help. I saw some of the items you had on your video. What impressed me the most was that there five dollar T-shirts were a pretty good quality, and they fit me. I’m regularly a size 2X, 3X. The T-shirts,comfortable.I figured I’d try the lounge pants… comfortable! Pretty roomy!slippers next. I was very satisfied with all of those purchases. I think I’ll go back to get some mugs for friends.
For the longest time, I thought Five Below sold winter clothing, until I saw it in your videos. I went in for the first time a week ago to look for that blow up ornament you showed. The store was dirty and grim and full of really junky stuff. I left without purchasing anything.
I thought I was the only one :) I thought it was similar to Burlington Coat Factory until a friend took me there for some silly retail therapy. The shopping experience can vary from store to store, I agree.
I went to 5 below looking for large inflatable Christmas ornaments and was told at one store they are only available at stores that have been remodeled? Well how do we know that???? What a bummer of bad products. Thanks Vivian. Merry Christmas to you and your family and a very Happy New Year.
You can go to their website, and see what store has the item you want in stock so you don't waste time going there. You can also just have it shipped home...they don't have free shipping, but they have flat-rate.
lol! “its just a vibrator, you can use it on other parts of your body but don’t go crazy”. Lmfao! Thanks for another hoot! I would send them all back! Wepa 🇵🇷
Five below do not allow refunds unless the package is unopened. So the dryer was just originally like that or someone really concealed that it was opened.
It's been a little while, but I purchased some earbuds within the last year or so at 5 Below. I was able to go in and do an exchange. Or maybe they gave me store credit? I'm not 100% sure. But I know I was able to do something since they were defective.
Good grief. What a drag. The ideas are great but the quality resembles Temu. I’m glad I decided not to even try this year. Next.. Merry Christmas Vivian. I hope you have a wonderful holiday! I wish for you and your family, Health, happiness and prosperity! Thank you for always putting a smile on my face and laughter in my heart ❤️💝🎄🎁
When you started talking about the bowl size, you had me laughing and then I started choking on my saliva and my wife that I was gonna die... Had to take a break from your video to regain composure... Ahem.... Okay, thanks for the info... You're too funny!
I HAVE to watch you..Daily..Even old ones..I NEED LAUGHTER..AND You Sweetie has gives so much😂..lol.. (my husband died in June, his b day was dec.. These holidays are hard..) So Thank you Soo Very Much!❣️🙏🙏🙏🤟🕊
I did buy their end table that has a built in speaker and I will say, I absolutely love it. The sound is amazing. They also have a canvas print with a speaker in it and that works well also,
Hey Mo Pho Pro, as you know I haven't seen a Five Below,but its fun watching you carve them up 💥. The foot massage sounds like a dying cow🤣 Merry Christmas Vivi, 🌟🎄🎅. JO JO IN VT 💞☃️
HELLO VIVIAN ??? with 5 BELOW but then again I haven't really TRULY thought 2 go in the store! Then here U come U showing these AMAZING INTERESTING DUPES as well so Maybe if I'ma NEAR THERE!!!
I'm glad you'll follow through on the candle but I'm not in Instagram. Maybe you can do a video of just things, like the candle, that need additional time.
in our neck of the woods five below is the garage sale down the street bunch of junk the neighbours don’t want 😂love your shirt so pretty sending a big merry christmas ⛄️
GIRL. That movie was awesome!!! I never was a prepped until I met my now husband. We have go bags in our car and at work. We have 4 meet up locations should we not be together when SHTF. 💕💕💕
Yeah 5 below is either a flop or a bop. I have some items from there in my room. I got a tiny rug that I use near my cat bed and made a setup there. With a little hanging fake plant thing. I have some other things that aren’t as good quality. But the posters are always good finds, and I like the little magnets and things. I don’t shop often at 5 below though. That massage thing is funny because I have this place called treasure hunt near me, and it was a 15 dollar day and there was this amazing neck massager that retails around 50-60. It was brand new, nothing wrong with it. All for 15. 😂
As a small business owner who makes candles 5 buck's just for the kit is great but is it thr proper wick for the vessel and what's the dye n fo like....
i have a conair blow dryer i had for more than 10 years and it works wonderful. but i recently bought one similar to the dyson. it wasn't a cheapy though
The 5 Below by me is filled with junk. I've never found anything there to be excited about. But I know other stores may be different. Love your videos even with the 5 Below duds. 😂❤❤❤
Oh and PS: last Christmas for my little nieces I got a funnel cake maker. And they have the candies that we had when we were growing up. My husband is addicted to Charleston Chews and my dad loves Mary Jane’s. So they have all kinds of good candy stuff.
Yes Mom, This OLD MOM knows how you feel! My husband and boys gave me many grey hairs. They called me, 'The Worry Wort'. Crazy thing was when I followed their lead, things did not go well!! So I continued to fret😢
I did buy a phone case for my iPhone 11 about 3 years ago I think it was, from Five Below. And believe it or not I’m still using it at this moment. And I think I paid like $2.99 for it. Oh and my daughter and I both bought those little keychain size Whoopie cushions. We had So Much Fun with them! Lol Other than that though, I still say that Five Below is like WISH. Still Wish I didn’t go there and spend/waste my money… 😒
Tell me what you think of Five Below!
I love five and below I bought all my Christmas presents for my coworkers from there last year
Never been there. 😂
Maybe no more electric items from there? Idk thanks Vivian
Good for rugs, blankets and pillows maybe only lol
Stop going going when they was cheaply made
I can confirm Conair blow dryer longevity. I STILL have mine from high school. I graduated in 1979! My Conair blow dryer still works.
Still watching the video, but wanted to agree wholeheartedly: I bought a cheapazoid Conair blow dryer in the late 90s. I still use to this day. They last forever!
Totally agree. I just replaced my $15.00 Conair that I had for nearly 15 years, with a new $20 one😊
Shopping at 5 Below is basically “Read the room”… things that can’t get screwed up too much (phone cases, candy, books, art stuff sometimes, basic toys, discounted name brand beauty/home stuff = OK), anything with electricity is going to be way cheaper and flimsy feeling and is too good to be true.
Snacks!!!
We need a new BUG OUT BAG video, pretty please!!
Bug out bags definitely updated since we moved to a high wildfire area 😅. Best new thing?? Drinking water packaged in pouches. It’s like 8 oz per individual pouches, lasts for years unopened, and I stashed them with our bags and the dogs’ bags. I was so excited. My husband was like “what, it’s water….” - fine, see if I give you my extra pouch when all the water is gone!! 😂😂
I was at 5 below yesterday, and walked out spending a penny. Btw, TJ Maxx has their Valentine merch out already This is getting insane 😭
Next...bathing suits lol
So does Home goods. A greedy world we live in!
Valentine's Day at my Walmart the day before yesterday. 🤦
Dollar.25 Tree was putting vday stuff out today 😂
@@MadAboutBrows TJ Maxx and Marshalls also🥵
These products are well below Vivian Tries usual videos. But the presenter is gorgeous and is not responsible for the poor quality. Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New year to all!!😘😘
This video proves to all of us why we need your channel! I keep seeing the 5 Below commercials for last minute gifts. Glad I watched this video
A $20 blow dryer from Five Below...that already sounds crazy
You’re right
Left me wondering what the “5” in 5 below stood for?
5 stars below average? At least going by the products in this video. 🤔 Wishing everyone a very safe and wonderful Christmas ❄️☃️🎄💝
Thank you, Vivian, for exposing 5 below.
I will not shop at 5 below.
If I refuse to purchase Dollar Tree plus items, why would I shop in an overpriced dollar store?
Without you Vivian I wouldn’t even know about five below. I went and found the cutest “fairy” type moon lights and I love them! They have what looks to be a good candy selection.
Y that's all I buy- t-shirts and some of the snacks. None of the products.
I thought 5 Below was supposed to be $5.00 & under. Seems like most of the stuff is now $10.00 & up.
I was a freight manager at 5- Below for 9 year's and unfortunately the company doesn't give any stores proper hour's to run the store correctly.

Took my son to Five Below for his 10th birthday in August this year. Gave him $40 and he had a freaking blast shopping!!
What a sweet idea! They definitely hit the mark for tweens and teens. My kids are in that range and adore the store.
I like my 5 Below. I got cute slippers there, toys for my cats and a carrier, and some cute storage baskets. I always browse the candy/snacks section and books.

Big 5 has winter clothing!! But not 5 below
My granddaughters love that place!!!
"It's a vibrator, not a massager." 😂😂 You crack me up! Love you! 💖
We only use 5 below for candy and toys for raffles or parades. 😂
We like five below for their "weird' food items My kids love the wacky candy and soda.
Vivian you always make me laugh I luv listening to to you plus I like the reviews 💯
I buy pet beds there. They aren’t bad and cheap. $5.55 for most of them.
1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ *Vivian, what happened to the “1,2,3 GO!”? I be whispering it by myself now bahaha. Who else!?*
If you’re short like me, you could also use the foot massager as a booster seat in your car. Turn that bad boy on and ride that ride with a smile.😂
I went to 5 below looking for large inflatable Christmas ornaments and was told at one store they are only available at stores that have been remodeled? Well how do we know that???? What a bummer of bad products. Thanks Vivian.

Love your videos! Kept checking every day for a new one. 😊 Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Yayyyyy it’s Vivian time! ❤❤
Hey Viv. Bummer bout 5 below. Dont have one near me. Frustrating. Dont let it ruin your holidays.🎁🎅🤶
Got to the dollar store next door and buy a bigger glass bowl. Lol
I have the exact same diffuser for my daughter's room, she's just love it for the changing lights.
The back of your neck. Not the front of your neck. 😂😂😂😂 That made me spit out my ice cream while laughing 😂
Never not say fungilitus 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 it kills me every time you say it. Thank you Vivian🙌🏻🫶🏻🎄💯🫚
The aroma diffuser has that tube with cotton like material inside, you have to let that soak up some water first so it will work..
lol! “its just a vibrator, you can use it on other parts of your body but don’t go crazy”. Lmfao! Thanks for another hoot! I would send them all back! Wepa 🇵🇷
Five below do not allow refunds unless the package is unopened. So the dryer was just originally like that or someone really concealed that it was opened.

Some states do not allow a store to refuse to accept returns on nonwor
I bought a makeup caddy at 5below and the quality was worse than dollar tree. Yikes
Sometimes good and not good at times
Hey Vivian! Tfs. That sucks with 5 Below. ❤🎄
Oh I was going to buy, buzz the other day, but I’m glad I didn’t.. I got a great roll of Christmas wrapping paper lol!
Alopecia saves me a fortune in styling products. I was in two of them yesterday. It's a hit and miss. I found a cute stocking stuffers however.
5 Below has great baskets. My favorite place to get them. Good quality. I also get their lounge/pj pants. Great for cleaning
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year’s
Aww LOL Happy hoildays Vivian your vidoes make me happy and I know what to get and not buy.
Good grief. What a drag. The ideas are great but the quality resembles Temu. I’m glad I decided not to even try this year. Next..
Merry Christmas Vivian. I hope you have a wonderful holiday! I wish for you and your family, Health, happiness and prosperity! Thank you for always putting a smile on my face and laughter in my heart ❤️💝🎄🎁
I bought the Buzz for $10.00, and it worked great. My grandson loved it.
When you started talking about the bowl size, you had me laughing and then I started choking on my saliva and my wife that I was gonna die... Had to take a break from your video to regain composure... Ahem.... Okay, thanks for the info... You're too funny!
I HAVE to watch you..Daily..Even old ones..I NEED LAUGHTER..AND You Sweetie has gives so much😂..lol.. (my husband died in June, his b day was dec.. These holidays are hard..) So Thank you Soo Very Much!❣️🙏🙏🙏🤟🕊

I absolutely loved Leave The World Behind ❤🎉
I wish I would have seen this video yesterday! Thank God all I bought was some stocking stuffers! 🤣😂🤣🤣
Dorie needs to lead the fishy into the Light,, Carol Ann!
I learned my lesson when I bought a desk fountain from them. The motor was louder than the trickling water, and the rocks even looked plastic. smh
I did buy their end table that has a built in speaker and I will say, I absolutely love it. The sound is amazing. They also have a canvas print with a speaker in it and that works well also,
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉she is back 😂😂😂😂😂2
Hey Mo Pho Pro, as you know I haven't seen a Five Below,but its fun watching you carve them up 💥.

I love your videos I watch them all the time.❤ the five below's I've been in are nasty😢 I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅 ❤️
The ''unicorn whale'' is a Narwhal.
I'm glad you'll follow through on the candle but I'm not in Instagram. Maybe you can do a video of just things, like the candle, that need additional time.
I bought a Conair 1875 Watt Mid-Size Dryer for $9.98 at Walmart It was fine
in our neck of the woods five below is the garage sale down the street bunch of junk the neighbours don’t want 😂love your shirt so pretty sending a big merry christmas ⛄️
GIRL. That movie was awesome!!! I never was a prepped until I met my now husband. We have go bags in our car and at work. We have 4 meet up locations should we not be together when SHTF. 💕💕💕
I bought a few of their board games for gifts, and those were a hit. I avoid electronic devices there.
There are actually CZcams video tutorials on how to unscrew and reach the batteries on the Buzz Light-year
You crack me up😂😂😂😂😂
Hola hermosa Vivían amo tus videos ahorramos mucha plata y nos divertimos mucho tienes mucho carisma eres un amor 🧡 gracias hermosa amiga xx
Now I’m scared I bought the Hello Kitty remote control car and the hello Kitty hover board geeez already wrapped and sent
Five Below was more like "in-n-out" (not the burger place); satisfied my curiosity, left empty-handed.
OMG that movie on Netflix was INTENSE!
Refresher would be great need all the new stuff for the bugout bag
I like their decorations for my porch. And I like their candles and pet supplies
But nothing else
Yeah 5 below is either a flop or a bop. I have some items from there in my room. I got a tiny rug that I use near my cat bed and made a setup there. With a little hanging fake plant thing. I have some other things that aren’t as good quality. But the posters are always good finds, and I like the little magnets and things. I don’t shop often at 5 below though.

That wig looks like it’s been through it chile 😂
Don't really shop at 5 below. But for the doomsday bag, my husband and I are ready
😊
As a small business owner who makes candles 5 buck's just for the kit is great but is it thr proper wick for the vessel and what's the dye n fo like....
Try taking a little water out of the diffuser.If it is just a little to much water, it will not work .
Thank you for saving me some time and money!
Vivian, where’s your bugout must have videos..? I definitely Need that After watching that movie 😮❤
i have a conair blow dryer i had for more than 10 years and it works wonderful. but i recently bought one similar to the dyson. it wasn't a cheapy though
Vivian try freeze dried foods but pls add the booze xxx merry christmas lady xx
Hugs and Love from Texas. Curious if you can do a Temu preview?
The 5 Below by me is filled with junk. I've never found anything there to be excited about. But I know other stores may be different. Love your videos even with the 5 Below duds. 😂❤❤❤
Okay so you have C size batteries
In my battery size assortment suitcase I even have teeny tiny round batteries to the big square ones
I feel you but I'll still buy the items to try them for myself. I still love Five Below.
😂😂😂 Heads up..All my Niece’s under 5 has High expectations.. they know and want Really good things haha..
Oh and PS: last Christmas for my little nieces I got a funnel cake maker. And they have the candies that we had when we were growing up. My husband is addicted to Charleston Chews and my dad loves Mary Jane’s. So they have all kinds of good candy stuff.
I’ve never been in a five below store. Viv I’m still tryna get me one of those wet dry curved brushes!
Yes Mom, This OLD MOM knows how you feel! My husband and boys gave me many grey hairs. They called me, 'The Worry Wort'. Crazy thing was when I followed their lead, things did not go well!! So I continued to fret😢
I did buy a phone case for my iPhone 11 about 3 years ago I think it was, from Five Below. And believe it or not I’m still using it at this moment. And I think I paid like $2.99 for it. Oh and my daughter and I both bought those little keychain size Whoopie cushions. We had So Much Fun with them! Lol
Other than that though, I still say that Five Below is like WISH. Still Wish I didn’t go there and spend/waste my money… 😒
I just can’t do five below. Walked into one one time and walked out. Love your videos though.❤
