Every time I enter Target, I feel like a kind in a candy store. Or a cop in a donut shop. Or a chef at a Farmer’s Market. Or a chocoholic at See’s Candy. From the moment I park my car to the second I stick my shopping bags in the trunk, my head spins from all of the cute and colorful merchandise for sale!
I always circle around the dollar section in the entryway at least 3 times, picking up and putting down the temptations. Of course I need that embroidered hand towel! And these pastel post-it notes… And these spring-themed sprinkles… And these floral greeting cards… I stop by the purses and scarves next—so dangerous!—before breezing through the clothing and snatching up a new color of their long and lean tanks. (I already own 15, and that’s not even close to enough. With their soft comfy feel, I wear them 4 or 5 days of the week!) Eventually I dawdle through the other departments, always spending most of my time on the candy and snacks aisles.
To continue to celebrations of my blog’s new name, Week 3’s Giveaway is for a $50 Target Gift Card! What would you spend it on? My brain is racing through my wish list at a mile a minute, but here are some ideas to get you started…
Bright striped straws for my Skinny Chocolate Covered Strawberry Frappé!
A pretty yellow mug for tea to pair with my Carrot Cake Scones!
Their Monster Trail Mix, which inspired my Trail Mix Cookies!
Measuring spoons—perfect for portioning out PB for my Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites!
Bags of mini chocolate candy bars to make my Skinny Candy Bar Cheesecake! (Less than 350 calories per slice!)
Even if your town doesn’t have a Target nearby, you can still enter! Just use the gift card at their website instead. They actually offer even more items online than in stores!

I’d buy Women’s Dreams By Mariah Carey Eau De Parfum and The Dallas Buyers Club DVD.
I would get rugs and curtains for the living room
I would buy some spring clothing for my kids- t shirts and jeans for my son and dresses for my daughter.
You’re such a thoughtful mom Kelly! 🙂
I would definitely buy some of their gorgeous spring clothes!
Last summer, I found some tank tops for running there so I’d look for some more running gear.
I just found some really great running clothes at Forever 21 Tina — definitely worth checking out that store too! 🙂
I would buy some fun flavors of coffee (praying their limited edition s’mores comes back!) and a cake from their bakery! I am a total sucker for their bakery frosting!!!
How did I miss the s’mores coffee??? That sounds incredible!! Some Targets sell the most irresistible chocolate cupcakes as singles. Keep an eye out for them the next time you go! 😉
Some Targets will sell containers of only their bakery frosting! I should skip the middle -man of the cake part and just go with that haha. If you find the s’mores coffee – make sure to pick up the Torani sugar free s’mores syrup to go with it!
Wow, that’s so smart! I’m really only a fan of fudgy chocolate frosting, but as soon as I find a good one, I can’t get enough. It’s dangerous! 😉 Thanks for the Torani tip too Erin!
I would probably buy either clothes or things to cook with. I also love that they carry the unreal candy brand that’s supposed to be candy unjunked. That would be really nice to have around easter or halloween. I would also love to get ingredients so I could try out more healthy recipes since i’m still new at baking.
That’s wonderful that you want to try more baking recipes Molly! Getting started is the hardest part. You’re going to be a pro in no time! 🙂
I would buy Circo shorts and t-shirts for my daughter for summer.
Your daughter is so lucky to have you as her mom Mary! 🙂
I would buy Merona summer clothing
Okay so just a little scary how much we’re alike! Except I think I have about 25 of their tank tops! Haha
I would have a hard time deciding what to buy with this gift card UNTIL I saw the trail mix cookies using their monster trail mix. That is my boyfriend’s favorite! (…like how I put it on him? Of course he’s the only reason I buy that heavenly good trail mix. lol) I cannot wait to bake those cookies for him!
I just found your blog the other day through Pinterest and I smell trouble.. But no worries, I like trouble! 🙂
I really hope you enjoy my “troublesome” recipes, Lauren! 😉 I wish I could justify buying 10 more tank tops. I need to spring clean my closet first to make more room though… And I do the same thing with sugary cereals: “Oh, my guy loves Cinnamon Toast Crunch, so I should buy that!” He doesn’t seem to mind too much. 😉 Have you tried their Caramel Cashew Trail Mix? It has chocolate-covered caramels that are practically Rolos — SO good!
