9 Best Clothing Items To Buy at Target Ahead of New Year’s Eve
Exercising More
Life can easily get in the way of the gym. If you want to step your fitness up in 2025, Target has affordable exercise gear that can be used anywhere.
Priced at $9.99, this three-pack of Blogilates resistance bands — including both light and medium resistance levels — allows you to do exercises like bicep curls and arm extensions at home, while traveling or even at the gym. Pair it with a two-pack of Blogilates booty resistance bands — also in light and medium resistance levels — to sculpt and tone your backside. These will cost you $10.29.
Eating Healthy
If you’re like many people, you might be striving to improve your diet in the new year. If you don’t already have a blender, KitchenSmith by Bella eight-piece personal blender system can help.
Consisting of seven attachments — including a stainless steel blending blade, two 13.5-ounce cups, two lip rings and two storage lids — you’ll have everything needed to blend smoothies, frozen drinks, sauces and more. Compact and easy to use, the cups and lids on this $15.99 blender are both BPA-free and dishwasher safe.
Sleeping Better
Better sleep can allow you to be happier, healthier and more productive. If you’re willing to invest $20 to the cause, several Target products may help.
First up, a new pillow. Choose from a $7 Room Essentials standard queen pillow with extra-firm density or a Room Essentials standard queen plush pillow for $3.50.
Next, you’ll need Dr. Teal’s sleep foaming bath with melatonin and essential oils, priced at $5.89 for a 34-ounce bottle. Finally, a $6.99 Up & Up sleep eye mask will help block out light.
Making Coffee at Home
If you spent a lot of money buying coffee out in 2024, you might want to cut back in the new year. Make it more enticing to get your caffeine fix at home with the Takeya cold brew coffee maker.
This one-quart coffee maker can be used for both hot and iced coffees — and for $19.49, it’s a steal. After brewing, concentrated coffee can be kept fresh in this device for up to two weeks, making it easy to grab your drink on the go.
Eating Out Less
Dining out can easily break your budget, but it can be hard to cook at home without the right tools. Priced at $14.39, the eight-inch GreenPan Rio with spatula is a great start.
Offered in black and black, this pan is free of PFAS, PFOA, lead and cadmium, allowing you to cook truly healthy meals. It’s also oven and broiler safe to 350 F and dishwasher safe.
Drinking Less
If you’re ready to take a break from alcohol or simply drink less of it, finding an alternative is essential.
The Wood Stove Kitchen grapefruit and rosemary cocktail and mocktail mixer makes this easy. A 16-ounce bottle is priced at $15.99 and several other flavors are available, if this one doesn’t appeal.
There’s still room left in your $20 budget for a Threshold glass stackable short tumbler. Priced at $2 each — you can get two — this BPA-free tumbler is also safe to put in the dishwasher.
Spending Quality Time With Family
If your family doesn’t spend enough time together, invest in more game nights. An old favorite: Trouble board game costs $7.49 and is intended for kids ages five and up.
Designed for kids ages four and up, this set of Gigglescape family games classics consists of Old Maid, Crazy Eights, Spoons and Search and Match, priced at $4.99. A fun twist on the original, the $2.99 Uno Mini Bullseye card game is meant for players ages seven and up.
