Things I wish I bought-Target🎯

2025/1/17 Edited to

... Read moreYou know that feeling when you stumble upon a true gem at Target? It's like the universe is whispering, 'This one's just for you!' I absolutely love browsing the book aisles there, especially because they often have incredible deals, like the 20% off I found on so many titles recently. It's not just about the discounts; it's about discovering those 'top target books' that resonate with you, the ones that feel like they were waiting just for your eyes. My latest Target adventure yielded some fantastic finds that I simply had to share. First off, I spotted this 'me time starts now SELF-CARE SCRATCH-OFF SET.' How cool is that? 52 cards, each with a self-care idea to scratch off. It’s perfect for those moments when you need a little nudge to prioritize yourself. It might not be a traditional book, but it’s definitely a valuable addition to anyone's personal growth collection! Then, of course, there were the books! My poetry section wishlist got a serious boost. I saw 'milk and honey,' 'SELF PORTRAIT,' 'flowers on the moon,' 'Pillow Thoughts,' and 'Watering the Soul' – all beautifully written collections that are perfect for quiet reflection or gifting. These poetry books are always popular, and finding them at a discount is a win-win. They're the kind of reads that truly stick with you. For fiction lovers, I almost let some incredible stories slip through my fingers. I was so excited to see 'Dork Diaries: Tales from a NOT-SO-Posh Paris Adventure' – a fun, light read that's great for anyone looking for a dose of humor and relatable middle-school drama. Then there was 'Check & Mate' by the incredibly popular Ali Hazelwood. Her books are always a hit, and this one promises sweet romance with a chess twist. I also noticed 'this is where it ends' by Marieke Nijkamp, which I've heard so much about – it’s a gripping story that I know many readers rave about. And for another dose of contemporary romance, 'if we were perfect' by Ana Huang looked absolutely captivating. Finding these popular titles with 20% off stickers made them impossible to resist! If you want to find your own 'top target book,' here are a few tips I swear by. Don't just skim the main display tables! Take your time to browse the shelves. Sometimes the best literary treasures are tucked away. Always keep an eye out for those bright yellow 20% off stickers – they’re your best friend! I also recommend checking the Target app or website before you go; sometimes you can see what’s in stock or if there are online-only deals you can price match. Signing up for Target Circle can also unlock extra savings. Don't be afraid to explore different genres than your usual, too. You might be surprised by what you discover! Target’s book section is a treasure trove for affordable reads, whether you're looking for the latest bestsellers, a classic, or a unique self-care item like the scratch-off set. Happy hunting, and I'd love to hear about your best Target book finds!

What I bought vs how I used it in my apartment
I LOVE these plastic drawers for my college apartment. They are so affordable, hold so many things in the drawers, and are so easy to clean and move. You can buy yours from Walmart, Target, big lots, and I’m sure many other places. They are so worth it to stay organized and keep everything put away
