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.

    I just scored 4 great collage frames from the clearance rack at Tar-jay about a month ago. They were perfect for postcard prints I’ve been collecting from all the places my husband and I have visited since we got married! They were $7 each and look fantastic in my house!

    I’AM A TARGET LADY! I have no idea how long ago I purchased my rattan filing basket from Target. It is so versatile that I haven’t used it for filing yet. You can turn it over and use it as a mini side table, waste paper basket, hold magazines and/or folded towels etc.

    I have many beloved items from Target, but I think the one item that has made the biggest impact is a black glass lamp with a rectangular shade. Together, they’re just over a foot tall and sit in the corner of our kitchen, under our dark cabinets. With a florescent bulb, it’s on from the time I get up to the time we go to bed. I love how it brightens up an otherwise dark corner of the room, and the best thing, it was on clearance!

    I’M A TARGET LADY! OH ME, OH MY, Where do I begin to narrow it down to my best score there…I guess It was probably the shirt I bought there on my birthday last year. I was looking for something fun to wear and I found this shirt that was marked down to $4.50 or something…I liked it and went to purchase it, it ended up ringing up as $1.56! Happy birthday to me! :)

    How can I even Begin to pick a favorite thing from this place?! I love it all, and spend most of our shopping money here. I will say, however, that our family’s latest purchase was a nice men’s gray peacoat we bought to bless someone in need this Christmas and we feel REALLY good about that purchase. And are so thankful we were given the means to do that this year.

    Happy Birthday John!!! Ok, let me wipe some of this brown off my nose. I think my best deal was my red KitchenAid toaster for less than $20! I hoard red KitchenAid items, it was even our fate to purchase our ’56 ranch when I looked under the sink and found, you guessed it, a red KitchenAid garbage disposal!!! :) Also love Target for baby/kid stuff, the dollar area, the Starbucks, really who doesn’t like Target? Even the bathrooms are nice. Thanks!

    Oh how I love that place. My best score there was some tissue paper that was on clearance for under a dollar. I know you are thinking to yourself ’tissue paper!?’ but this was AWESOME tissue paper that had a brilliant floral pattern on it. I used it to decoupage two small pieces of furniture. A cabinet and an old typewriter table. People are always asking where I got them. A little Mod Podge and sweet tissue paper from Target goes a long way!!!

    My favorite item I got at Target is a large lidded basket that doubles as an end table in the living room. Functional as well as attractive, it’s got rich espresso-colored weave, holds 3 blankets, and is a nice place to set a beverage while curled up on the couch.
