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.

    OMG I AM SOOOOOO A TARGET LADY!

    I have about a million favorites, seriously, from my clothes to 1/2 my furniture to my dishes and about 80% of my house. My recent favorite find was a springhill striped comforter on a great clearance end cap ($17/queen).

    My favorite Target find so far would have to be my bedroom lamps. They are the clear stacked balls and I paired them with black drum shades. Love, love them! But I was so sad to see you purged one this weekend. I noticed it sitting on your kitchen counter in your picture of stuff to go… :(

    What is not to love!? I’m there at least once a week to just browse around and have gotten so many steals. My fave would have to be our chocolate brown shag area rug that is currently in our living room. Love!

    I’M A TARGET LADY! The best thing I’ve ever scored at Target? Hmmm…I’ve scored a ton of great deals there, but one that sticks out in my mind is some ADORABLE grapefruit spoons with bright yellow handles. They are so cute and were on clearance for under $1 for a set of three or four. Love it!

    I’m a Target lady! My favorite Target purchase was my living room rug, which I got for $30! It is an indoor/outdoor rug and was on clearance at the end of the summer, but it looks totally appropriate in the living room.

    I actually used to be the Target lady–I worked for them for 2 years. :) I have a little bud vase I got there 5 or 6 years ago, and it’s one of the only things that has survived my style evolution. It’s just one of those little things that makes me smile when I look at it.

    What DON’T I love from Target? The purse I got there at the beginning of summer, my bathing suit, our duvet cover and bedding… but my all time favorite might be method soap — Tarjay is where I first laid eyes on my hand wash love and I haven’t looked back since!

    Happy Birthday, John! (Do I get a bonus entry for my well wishes?? :-) )

    My favorite Target buy would be the supplies I bought during the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. Our power was out for a week and I was going nuts! Thankfully the Target was running on backup power and I got a pack of undies (CLEAN UNDIES!) and a copy of ‘The Host’ by Stephanie Meyer. Those things kept me sane!

    My most recent purchase, though, was from the Halloween decorations—a couple of hefty green candles shaped like skulls & a sparkly silver skull, just for kicks!

    I just bought a 6′ tall dark brown book shelf from Target for a mere $30, and I’m about to go all crazy buying ornaments, LOL! $15 for 50 shatterproof ornaments? Score! And at THAT price, I wouldn’t even care if my toddlers accidentally broke a few, I could actually afford to replace them!

    I buy so many things from Target – most of my dresses are from there! But right now, the thing that I am most happy about is Target has the cheapest organic milk around, so that’s where I go for my milk. And if I happen to pick up a cardigan or two on the way…oops!

    So many favorites, but perhaps the best of the last few years are the Ugg style slipper shoes. I might just have 4 pairs…Is it wrong to buy a pair at the end of the season even though you already have that same color becuase you know that you’ll wear them out before next winter comes?

    I find cool stuff every time I go to Target! My husband and I have never done a tree for Christmas before and I decided I would do one this year. Last week I got the last $50 7foot christmas tree they had in the store with some led tree lights and a few ornaments to get me started. I was very excited to find a cute tree at such a good price.

    I think my all time favorite find is my Wii. We got it back when they were impossible to find and I happened to turn the corner and the guy was walking out of the stock room with the shipment. I politely stood there like a hawk as he unpacked the box and scarfed one up before texting all my friends.
