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’M A TARGET LADY!” my absolute favorite Target purchase is a beautiful decorative pillow I bought to spice up a chair in my living room; it’s grey on one side with mod yellow flowers, the other side is yellow, w/ grey flowers. Perfect for my living room color palette, and I flip it around based on my mood :)

    I’m a target lady! Target love is summed up by my younger son’s comment every time we shop there… “mom, we’re at church again!” Don’t know why he started calling it church and it draws some strange looks from people when he belts it out at the entrance. Oh well!

    Favorite find has to be some very cool car inspired twin sheets that we got for our boys bunk bed. Everyone thinks they are boutique. Nope, just Target!

    I truly, truly am a target lady. We live 2, yes TWO minutes away from a super target so I’m there about every other day. Best score would be hard to narrow down, but one is definitely a rectangular based lamp and shade that’s been in my son’s room since he was born. It was a whopping 12 bucks for the entire kitnkaboodle.

    There are so many things I can’t even begin to properly sort through the options to pick the best so I’ll just mention the one that I use MOST frequently. Champion C9 workout pants – they are made of this amazing material that makes my a$$ look great and can go from home to the office even out at night in a pinch! They are so comfortable it’s ridiculous. I wear them ALL THE TIME. Seriously, I own 6 pairs. However, if I won this card, I’d probably spend it on Christmas decorations for our first Christmas in our house! Yay Target!

    I just got home from super target! I love letting my mind relax as I walk down the aisles and day dream about all the stuff! I also like to take my boys there to visit there dear friend, Buzz Light year! The best item I ever scored was an awesome pair of leopard flats! They look like they could be from J-crew and 1/4 of the price!

    I am a Target lady. My neighbor gave up her dream wedding when her twin daughters were diagnosed with diabetes. She scrapped all of her beautiful (and expensive plans) and decided to do a courthouse wedding without the 6 young children she and her new husband shared because she couldn’t afford new outfits for all of them. Another neighbor and I convinced her that we could pull something together that was better than a courthouse wedding. We set up a wedding in her mother’s backyard and were able to have a fantastic, but simple wedding because of Target.

    We found 4 matching dresses on clearance for 5 bucks each, hot pink flip flops and a wee little suit for her 2 year old son for 3.74. We were able to get 5 of the 6 kids outfitted for less than 25 bucks. As a matter of fact, we got such a great deal, we were able to surprise her with a wedding cake. The photos were beautiful and she was overwhelmed with how sweet and intimate a wedding she could have with so little money.
