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.

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.

    I’M A TARGET LADY! Ooooo… what *haven’t* I bought there that I don’t just love?! I guess the prize would have to go to my black & white – or – black & cream damask comforter and curtains set for our master bedroom years ago… sadly, it’s getting rather long in the tooth (for the comforter anyway – starting to show wear) – so a gift card to replace it for something equally FABULOUS would be much appreciated. Thanks for the opportunity!

    I am abso-freaking-LUTELY a Target Lady!

    The best thing I bought at Target (or, Tar-jjjjay) was a $10 metal “statue” of Big Ben. I lived in London for a year and when I – sadly – moved back to the States I did a big Target shop. I was super homesick for the UK but there on the sale shelf was this cute mini Big Ben. Which I of course snatched up. 3 years later and it’s still featured front and center in my bedroom :)

    I AM A TARGET LADY! My favorite item (although I have many) is a dress that I bought before my third year of medical school that I thought would be perfect for the wards. It was perfect; I now own the dress in 6 colors and am still wearing them 3 years later. I even have several friends who also bought them because it was such a perfect dress (really for life in general).

Top faves include the awesome blue winter coat I got on the clearance rack for 12 dollars, the amazing black pillows on our couch, and the sweet gray & white floral rug I have under our dining room table. Oh and the gorgeous matted picture frames that have a great oiled bronze look about them. Swoon!

    I AM A TARGET LADY!!! Are you kidding?!?! I was born and raised in Minnesota where Target is based so how could I not be? It’s the best store around. And while I’ve purchased MANY a wonderful thing at Target in my time, I think the best has to be a pair of Mossimo boot cut jeans. They have just enough stretch that I’ve been able to wear them well into both my pregnancies, as well as soon after my kids were born. Gotta love something that makes a post-pregnant mama feel skinny!

    My favorite pasttime since college has been wandering around Target whether I’m there to buy something or not. When we last moved (out of state) I was bummed because we were leaving a 2 story Target behind (yes, 2 whole stories) for just your run of the mill 1 story version. So sad.

    More like TARGET OBSESSED LADY. I shop at target at least 2-3 times each week if not more. My favorite thing to do is shop down the “avenues instead of streets” i call it, meaning down the backs of the aisles in order to find each and every clearance item possible. I recently put together the most amazing baby shower gift ever with the help of target baby registry. My new little nephew will love everything from Tar-jay (I also call it this;)

    I have so many items that I have purchased at Target that it would be so difficult to pick just one. . . Yet my most recent fav is my new sweater pillows that I picked up for a mere $10 each. They are super cute, comfy and large. Love them. I would love to win this gift to Target, I have my eye on a few things and besides, it is close to the holiday, who couldnt use this right now. . .

(I am about two weeks “new” to your blog and am already obsessed….it’s kind of cool it took me so long to find you because now I am newly married and have post upon post to catch up on!) I love Target for many reasons, but especially for their holiday decor because you can use it for a week/month or two and store it without feeling like you paid for it for the whole year!
