The seasons may blur together for retirees who are no longer working. However spring still has a way of bringing a feeling of rejuvenation that can extend to your personal life, your home and your shopping choices.
Target always offers great deals, but retirees should check out some of these items at great prices to get you ready for the thawing of winter and with it, often changes in routines, organization and activities.
Brightroom Y-Weave Small Decorative Storage Basket
Greet spring with refreshed energy by organizing clutter and redecorating rooms in your house where you spend the most time. Have a teetering stack of books by your bedside? Vitamin bottles scattered on a counter top? Toss them into one of these Brightroom decorative storage baskets, each one only $4.
Room Essentials Bubble Vase
Spring means the beginning of wildflower season, and if you’re lucky enough to live somewhere with these in abundance or have a garden of your own, you may already be waiting for their colorful display. Even if you have to grab a bunch at your local grocery store or Trader Joe’s, these fun and colorful Room Essentials bubble vases, just $10 each, are a great way to brighten up any room. You could even fill them with beads and fake flowers for year-round decoration.
Small-Lidded Rattan Basket
For organization that allows you to keep things out of sight, such as crafting supplies you might like to have handy while watching a show, or snacks that you want to save for just the right occasion, this Threshold rattan basket with a closing lid is perfect for a decorative flair that doesn’t look messy. Just $25.
Room Essentials Quick-Dry Floral Waffle Towel
Spring weather often means first visits to the pool or beach, especially if you have grandkids visiting, or the luxury of a hot tub to soothe aching bones. These Room Essentials quick-dry waffle towels live up to their name — they’re thin but effective and you can get two for $20.
Blogilates Beginner Lightweight Yoga Mat
Stretching and strengthening is very important to aging bodies when you’re able to do so. A hard bedroom floor or even rug isn’t an optimal surface, so pick up one of these Blogilates lightweight yoga mats, just $21.99 each, and ease any tension. Even if you just linger in the prone pose known as “shavasana,” you’ll be glad you have one.
Bluey Walkie Talkies
If you have young grandchildren who keep you on your toes, invest in a set of these beloved Bluey character walkie talkies — then you can send the kiddos on an active scavenger hunt while you remain on the couch. Each set is just $19.99.
Board Games
If you aren’t working or volunteering in retirement, sometimes it can be challenging to find ways to fill the time you used to have no problem doing so. Invest in some board games to keep your brain supple and you and family entertained. Scattergories is $16.69 and the word game Scrabble is $21.99.
