Cheery, colorful and fun, everyone’s favorite bullseye retailer has aisles stocked with the perfect finds for adding extra zest to your spring without breaking your budget. For retirees looking for fun ways to enjoy the warm weather and fill their cup this season, look no further.
No longer chained to a desk, enjoy springtime free from the 9-to-5 grind with these five items from Target. With unbelievably low prices, these picks will keep retirees creative, active and feeling the festive spirit through the rest of spring and right into summer.
Room Essentials Self-Watering Planter Box
- Price: $15.40
Always wanted to get into gardening but lacking a green thumb? Fear not. Retirement is the perfect time to start new hobbies, and this self-watering planter box makes gardening a breeze. Just fill the reservoir at the bottom of the planter, and your plant roots will stay hydrated — no stress about overwatering or underwatering.
Lightweight and perfect for a windowsill or tabletop, it can be filled with fresh herbs or flowers for a stress-free touch of greenery. Each box is on sale for just $15.
All In Motion Ankle and Wrist Weights
- Price: $19.99 to $24.99
When the weather warms and the sun comes out, you can’t beat a neighborhood walk to soak up the sunshine. Elevate your daily walk or even a trip to the grocery store with wrist or ankle weights.
The 2 1/2-pound wrist weights are about $20, and the 4-pound ankle weights are about $25. Light enough to wear comfortably for 20-plus minutes, yet heavy enough to feel the burn over time, they’re great for building lean muscle tone while going about your daily activities.
Threshold Pale Yellow and Cream Ruffle Pillow
- Price: $25.00
Although you might be basking in your retirement, your home doesn’t have to be. If your living space is starting to look a bit tired and worn, it’s probably time for a refresh.
Give your living room a cheerful refresh this spring with some new home decor, like the yellow and cream big stripe pillow from the Threshold collection with Studio McGee. Complete with soft colors and ruffles along the sides, it can be added to a couch or accent chair for a lively pop of color. At just $25, it’s a cost-effective buy that adds an elevated touch to any room.
Mrs. Meyer’s Lemonade Hand Soap
- Price: $4.89
Nothing says spring like a glass of freshly squeezed lemonade. Now you can bring the nostalgic lemony-sweet scent to your kitchen or bathroom with Mrs. Meyer’s lemonade hand soap.
Gently cleanse tired hands after a long day without over-drying with this refreshing yet effective paraben-free soap. At about $5, it’s a simple buy that’ll keep mature skin soft while adding a fun spring touch to an otherwise mundane activity.
Mondo Llama Rainbow Sidewalk Chalk
- Price: $8.00
If you’ve got grandchildren visiting this spring, activities to keep little ones busy are a must. For pleasant days outdoors, rainbow sidewalk chalk is a must for some creative fun.
For just $8, you get 50 pieces of chalk and a handy storage bucket. They’re affordable and great for hours of entertainment. Just be sure to keep some wipes on hand — it tends to get messy.
