Fab Freebie: The Target Lady

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – scroll down to see who won!***

I love today. Not just because it’s my 29th birthday, but because we are giving away a gift card to (drumroll, por favor)… TARGET!

We don’t really need to waste time reminding you guys how much we love Target (we’ve got about a million posts like this and this to prove it). I even created this graphic to try to convey how excited we are:

Target 100 Hundred

Can you handle that enthusiasm?

And while I always love a good opportunity to reference SNL’s Target Lady, this time I’m going to mention a different woman paired up with the red bullseye: HGTV’s Sabrina Soto. Sabrina is Target’s “Style Expert for Home,” which means she’s serving up design tips to to those of us who like affordable Tar-jay wares and coming home to a stylish space. She’s even got a bunch of tip-filled videos over on Target’s styleboutique blog.

Target Sabrina Soto

But enough chitchat. Here’s how you can score the hundy dolla gift card:

  • PRIZE: A hundred beans (in gift cards form) to spend at Target!
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M A TARGET LADY” (or “I’M A TARGET GENTLEMAN” if you’re rocking a Y chromosome like me) and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about your favorite item that you’ve ever scored at Target. Do you love it because it’s especially stylish? Especially functional? Or maybe just especially affordable?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, November 17th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

******************************

And our very lucky winner (as selected by random.org) is… Ashley A. (who’s loves and can’t stop seem to buying Target clothes). Congrats!

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Target.

    My favorite Target score has got to be this chair:

    http://www.target.com/Clybourn-Loft-Armchair-Maize/

    which I got for $100 less than the listed price, thanks to an awesome on-line special they were running the week I bought it! I don’t think of $329 as a terrific bargain, but to me this looks like a $600 chair. It’s even prettier in person, makes my other furniture look better, AND…it’s actually comfortable. I think I have a crush on my chair. :P Thanks Target!

    I have scored so many items at Target, I don’t know if I can pick one…recently, my husband and I found an adorable sweatshirt with a cat on it and ears on the hood for our 6 month old daughter, Layla. It was $3! I puffy heart Target!

    Happy Birthday John!!! I hope you find something utterly fabulous at Target or one of your other fav stores for a hell of a deal on your special day because you deserve it! Thanks for helping produce such an awesome blog! I love YHL (but let’s be honest, I stick around because of Burger… Love me some Burger!)

    Anywho, now that THAT’S out of the way, “I am a Target Lady!” Omg, I love that store. My husband actually says I suffer from a rare and debilitating disease caused by Target called “Shiny Object Syndrome” where I go in there claiming to get these “one or two things” and then suddenly, once I have the cart in my hand and am strolling each aisle (and of course checking the end of the aisles where the sales always are) I am pulling item after item into my cart, screaming about what a deal it is and he’s crying and clutching his wallet! You should hear him talk about it. He really believes it’s a disease!

    I can’t pick my one favorite purchase/deal from Target because I love the whole damn store! It makes me happy, especially those fab dollar bins! I could be a really, really happy person if I won that $100 gift card! Christmas is pretty much not happening this year due to our financial situation (I’m telling you, Shiny Object Syndrome is REAL people!) and having a “free” $100 would help!

    Thanks for this awesome chance to win on your special day! Hugs to YHL!!!

    My most recent favorite Target find is our tv stand. We shopped around before buying and didn’t see anything that came close in style or price. It looks great in our living room and the price was excellent.

    I AM A TARGET LADY! I would absolutely LOVE that gift card. I could find just about anything at Target and just this weekend I found the most adorable Halloween costume for our dog Scout for $1.50. Who can beat that? I love it and can’t wait for Halloween to roll around again so that we can dress him up!

    I go to Target to relax and browse the WHOLE store as much as possible. My favorite find was Orla Kiley placemats. I missed out on the glasses and plates but cherish my placemats. I also loved their Liberty of London collection.
