just exploring the target web site, and found a bunch of holiday decor items. most of them are not on sale, and are definitely not on clearance, so not sure what's going on here...are these items for NEXT holiday season?
some particularly odd ones are:
indoor/outdoor evergreen cross
freestand floor votive holder (this one is on clearance)
3 votive holder with beads
tree door mat
in the food & bev category: found these light up ice cubes featured in the red hot shop. we've had a set of these for awhile, so nice to see they're getting some attention...altho we still don't really know why you'd need em. these udon bowls are awesome (they sell the same at sur la table for more money), but seem like a storage difficulty, since they certainly don't seem stackable. this kid's dish set is pretty fun, and we'd be buying these diner plates if they weren't a little pricey.
in the home decor category: this mod wallpaper seems exciting, it's really unclear how you hang it...what does "can be hung dry mean? fake mosaic wallpaper is awesome too, but same deal (what is the deal?) on the hanging it.
in stores, some of our fun finds for this week are:
women's leather gloves for $4 a pair
women's turtleneck shirts for a mere $2.24 each
women's heavyweight leggings (for very cold days) for $1.48

emergen-c on SALE!!!
it's true. our favorite cold & flu fighter is currently on sale for just $4.98 for the 32 pack box! this is maybe because they really stocked up on it for the holiday season. hurry and get yours while it's so cheep.
TARGET in top 10 for top brands in 2007!
according to a recent brand study, it's going to be a banner year for our favorite store...like we didn't already know that.

if you like the holiday decor, just ask!
if you've found yourself coveting the paperlace holiday cutouts hanging at the front door all season, our advice is to simply ask the customer service desk representative if you may have them. occasionally they're committed to a school, church, or other non-profit that got there before you...but more often than not they aren't! but heed our advice...from experience..be sure to get to the store to pickup your take AS they're being removed, or be absolutely SURE they're going to be saved for you somehow. a couple of years ago we "reserved" a set of giant plastic halloween masks, left our name and everything, only to arrive at the store just as they met THE CRUSHER. don't let this happen to you. claim your holiday decor on Jan 2.

it's CLEARANCE time!!!
1st of all, as of new year's day 2007, all holiday items are 50% off. we have a feeling they'll be down to 75% off tomorrow.
there are still some fun things to be had. today we got:
- a super-long tablecloth, red with dark red swirls for $6
- photoclip mobile for $3 (massive amount of them can be found hidden on the back-side of a knit hat display in the men's dept at the waterfront Target in Homestead, PA)
- "sputnik photoclip" (pic to come soon) for $3 (can be found in equally large quantity right above the above mobiles)
- retro garland with snowflakes & tiny tinsel for $5
- buddha desktop organizer (pic to come soon) for $4
- xmas & season's greetings cards for next year -- still a big selection, most boxes are $4.50
as many of you know, we're practically obsessed with method cleaning products. good news is that the special "holiday" scents are 1/2 off! you'll find spiced pear, vanilla mint, and cranberry something-or-other scents that are just as good as their year-round counterparts for room spray, aroma pills, candles, countertop cleaner, and dish soap (good luck finding the hand soap on clearance, it seems to have sold out at regular price). here's an idea we put into practice: get the aroma pill w/ plug-in dock for 1/2 off (about $4), then refill the pill with year-round scent refills! you just beat the system, my friend.
don't forget to check other areas of the store...there's clearance EVERYWHERE!
especially check out the candle section and the "seasonal" home items (in most cases you can't even tell how it's "seasonal")
