The holidays are coming, and with them seasonal decorations, visits from family and friends, and lots of good food. To help you prepare for the chillier months and the season of holidays, Target is ready with plenty of deals and bonuses.
Below are several items you’ll want to be sure to pick up sooner rather than later at Target as the holiday season rolls in.
Decorative Pumpkins
Fall decor can take you through September and all the way into early December. Decorative pumpkins come in a wide range of colors and styles to complement your home’s decor, and give it that extra fall touch. Target’s selection of pumpkins starts at $5, and range from sleek ceramic to cozy woven materials. You can go small or large, and even find a Large Fringed Pumpkin Figurine for just $10 perfect for a Halloween tablescape or cute shelf setup.
Halloween Candy
Don’t wait to grab trick-or-treat candy. You can pick up assorted Halloween candy on your next Target run, or add it to your online order. That way, you’ll be ready when all of the costumed kids come knocking. Â
Christmas Lighted Decor
If you just can’t wait to put up your Christmas decor, Target’s The Everything Christmas Market is the place for you. There, you can find some cheer to fit whatever your budget allows, from Incandescent Mini Christmas String Lights afor just $3 to an LED Animated Neon Fa La La Hangable Sign for $50, to an 8 foot Lighted Pop-up Snowman currently on sale for $179.99 (regular price $399.99).
Stocking Stuffers
It’s never too early to stock up on stocking stuffers. Target has a great selection of gifts under $15 that you can tuck away until it’s time to prepare for Christmas. Some ideas include a Paint-Your Own Ceramic Unicorn Kit for $5, a Packing Cube Set for $10, Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub for $8.99 or Hot Wheels Single Packs for $1.29.
Cleaning Supplies
Target’s cleaning supply section will get you ready to prep for holiday visits whether you’re just having friends over for a meal or hosting family for a week. You can grab laundry detergent, trash bags, paper towels, and toilet paper at low prices.
