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!

    The best items I ever scored at Target (and believe me, I’ve scored plenty!) were whitewashed glass vases with a red rim! I got a smaller one and a larger one for…(Wait for it)…$15 bucks altogether!! So now they are wrapped up safely, waiting for their debut in my living room come next spring when I get married :)

    By the way, Happy Birthday John!

    This is going to sound crazy, but my ALL-TIME favorite Target purchase was a blue tie-dyed baby tee my senior year in high school, in 1995. I LOVED LOVED LOVED that thing and nearly cried when I finally admitted I wasn’t really a baby-tee wearing hippie.

    More recently, my fave Target purchases are the cute and affordable clothes and the BEST compilation CDs they sell at their little stations.

    Target me!

    I shop at Target so frequently it would be difficult to pinpoint one specific item. I guess it would be my gorgeous Father Christmas snow globe that goes on my mantel every holiday season…but I also love that whenever I travel I end up in random cities’ Target stores to pick up everything I forgot to pack.

    Welp…I’m the only one right now (that probably will change over the next few minutes).

    Best score at Target? Halloween candy discounted 50% off. Those Skittles and Butterfingers and Crunch bars never knew what hit ’em.

    They also have a good selection of manly outdoor stuff as well.

    “I’M A TARGET LADY” This is perfect because I can never leave a target without spending at least $100.00. I don’t think that I could ever pinpoint just one thing because I find something new I love each time I go!

    I absolutely LOVE target. If I could live there, I would. My favorite thing I’ve purchased there would probably be two things: their incredibly chic looking banana leave baskets and a super cute jewelry bowl. I have three of the baskets that I used to store DVDs in but now they are currently stored under our DIY dresser turned entertainment center for looks. And that jewelry bowl is also so cute only Target would carry it :) I tell myself every time I go in that I’m only getting what I came in for, yea, that NEVER works in the end!
