Target has a surprisingly impressive selection of hoverboards, including the self-balancing Sphere. You can cruise as far as 10 miles at speeds up to 10 mph thanks to its 300-watt motor — but it offers form as well as function. The LED lights in its wheels create a spectrum effect, and the body itself has lights of its own and a curved, sleek design. It comes in a range of colors with an optional protection plan.

Whether you’re a budding musician yourself or are looking for a gift for someone who is, Target’s selection of guitars is almost as extensive as its line of hoverboards. Although Target offers cheaper starter guitars, this bundle comes with everything a beginner needs, including a full-size dreadnought acoustic, a tuning pitch pipe, a shoulder strap, an extra set of strings and a gig bag.

Anyone who has been inside a Target knows they can score a standard wall clock there without a problem. But super-trendy word clocks are something more likely to be associated with high-tech lifestyle brands such as Sharper Image, right? Luckily, you don’t have to look any farther than Target to get your hands on this hip and sophisticated copper-finish word clock — from none other than Sharper Image.

Target has a loyal base of customers who keep coming back for the retailer’s wide selection of cosmetics and self-care/beauty products, but high-tech, spa-quality microdermabrasion equipment is out of a big-box store’s lane, isn’t it? Not necessarily. For less than $30 and a quick visit to Target, you can reduce wrinkles, fine lines, whiteheads, blackheads, acne scarring and more — all with a small, rechargeable handheld device that promises to deliver radiant skin after a single use.

With the window for outdoor projects quickly closing as winter approaches, it might finally be time to get a smart light system up and running inside your home. Creating routines specific to rooms, times of day or activities might be intimidating. Don’t worry — it doesn’t require a tech degree, it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, and it doesn’t require anything more than a trip to Target to get started. Google’s Bluetooth, voice-operated Smart Light Starter Kit can be the first piece of your smart home puzzle.

Sure, you can grab a wine key or a corkscrew at Target, but an electric wine opener from a trusted brand like Oster? Yup, that too.

Holiday shopping lists don’t have to be a disorganized, stressful mess. Thanks to the arrival of hundreds of new apps that support digital pencils, all it takes is a device and a download — and, of course, a visit to Target. Although it’s right there at your favorite big-box chain store, the Logitech CRAYON is as advanced as any digital pencil on the market thanks to features like Palm Rejection Technology, which allows for natural hand placement, automatic line-thickness adjustment and a 7.5-hour active writing time.

Whether you’re satisfying your own green thumb or that of someone on your gift list, an AeroGarden can make four-season gardening a reality now that winter is closing in.

The Harvest 360 can grow as many as six gourmet herbs — everything you need is included — five times more quickly than in a traditional garden.

When you think of high-end self-care/electronics products, Target might not immediately come to mind.

It has three built-in, app-guided routines as well as a commercial-grade brushless motor with QuietForce Technology that delivers up to 40 pounds of no-stall force.

If biking your way to fitness is on your holiday season to-do list, but a Peloton is out of reach, consider the Echelon EX5 Connect Bike.
