holiday season wasn't looking like a very joyful one for the tween- and teen-focused retailer. The Philadelphia-based company was on its way to posting its fourth-straight quarter with negative or flat comparable sales, and that was coming off several prior years of underwhelming performance.

It was also dealing with industry-wide challenges, including shoplifting and the rise of low-priced e-commerce players like Shein and Temu.

Raise your hand if you've had a hard time finding aesthetically pleasing storage solutions for tight spaces. That's the thing with space-saving gadgets, hooks, and bins: They usually don't come in cute colors or designs because they're all about function over form.

Five Below's All-In-One Salad Container is a $6 meal prep solution that keeps salad ingredients fresh and allows separate storage of dressings for optimal flavor.
