Ok, you've been warned, proceed at your own wallet's risk. Target has some good stuff out for Christmas. Thought I'd show you what I bought in case you want to get on over there for any of it. You know how Target sells out so quickly? I hate that, and thought you might too, so I'm giving you a head's up. Who thinks that Target designers/buyers might have taken their cue from our lovely Alicia? Yeah, me too...this was the photo that made my heart sing all of last Christmas. Ok, back to my purchases. How great is the gingerbread jar for a hostess or teacher gift? The striped tape, tags, and party poppers were found in the gift-wrap section, not the Christmas section, and the little ornaments, lip balm, and sprinkles were in the dollar section at the entry.
Some of this was found in the gift wrap section too. The front roll of wrapping paper is actually half the length of the standard roll, which I think is a good idea, since I seem to often need to cut it that way when wrapping. The green paper with packages has glitter on it. It will be perfect for our girl with a December birthday.
And then this, this is what I was really excited about...
Flocked teal wrapping paper and flocked black and white wrapping paper. Both are part of gift lines that include matching flocked boxes, bags, tags, etc. And the glass glitter (!!!) ornaments? Yum. They come in a set of 2 per package, and range in price from $9.99 to $14.99 for the set. I'm going to split the packages with a friend, then we'll each have one of 4 big glass glitter ornaments for under $25.00. The glitter line also has stocking holders and big decor items. Thankfully, I managed to show some restraint.
Happy Targeting!
oh target, how I love you!

Must....get.....to....target.....ASAP! :) Unfortunately we don't have one in town. The hour and a half drive looks WELL worth it. Thanks so much for sharing!

Too cute! I went to target today too. Fun stuff:)

That is a great heads up. I was at Target today and they were just putting out the good stuff. I often forget to look in the other departments.
If you have a JoAnns near you, you want to go and have a look at their ornaments. There are some vintage looking ones that are very similar to your work. All glittery and beautiful.

...Sigh...I will have to admire these from afar. No Target stores in my province...
...but wait! I just went online to see if there were any Targets in Canada, and I see that they have online shopping. Oh Joy Oh Bliss !
Thanks for the inspiration :)

Love the glass glitter ornaments.
I'm looking for a wrought iron Parisian bicycle that holds flowers .I went to a model home this week and they had one that just was to die for. I found one on line at Target but it wasn’t as nice. I’ll post the picture this weekend.

No Target in Canada, but I have a sister in the States who does my shopping for me!! We always drop in when I visiting her. I'll have to give her a heads-up.
Merci!

Ahhhh, what lovely goodies. I've long admired the anonymous Target buyers. I met one of them at a friend's house once, and she was one of those lovely people I like instantly -- her personality was enchanting.

Ok, OK Could I please have a "heads up", about such yummiest, before you put out the PSA? *giggle* =)
I have a strong desire in my mind, but my body is weak. =(
Wishing, hoping, dreaming, it will be there, when I roll in. ha! =)
Thank-you! =)

Golly - I'm going to have to make the trek to Target real soon. Between the gorgoues things you posted and the Tord Boontje line of Christmas stuff, I'm afraid of how much I'll spend when I'm there!
Posted by: Erin | November 13, 2006 at 06:31 PM
I found you via PAMKITTYMORNING! Thank you for showcasing your Target goodies!!! My Target is an hour away and now I KNOW I have to go and make the trek over the mountains and through the woods to get those aqualishous goodies! I thank you (though I'm sure my DH doesn't!)!
