Target. <\/strong>Just the sight of the word makes us giddy<\/em>. I mean, we\u2019re talking \u201cssshhhing\u201d family and friends whenever commercials come on giddy<\/em>. Perusing their site hourly giddy<\/em>. And so we’re inspired to provide you with this Target review.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We\u2019re in love with Target. Maybe even a bit obsessed. Here are 11 reasons why:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Target review: Why we love target<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Target is Always On-Trend<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whether you\u2019re searching for pajamas<\/a>, clothes, or crockpots, you\u2019ll never see passed styles at Target. Racks display this season\u2019s colored pants trend, but guess what? Their cookware offers just as many colorful choices; bold red blenders and cobalt teapots always catch our attention. Who\u2019d ever think you could coordinate your kitchen with your capris?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Not that you really would. But you could.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We seriously lose ourselves in their ability to stay in the cross-department, on-trend zone\u2014always.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Target has great names & shops<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So you want to shop respected names and brands in fashion<\/a>, beauty…heck, even dog treats? Target\u2019s your spot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For your beauty regimen, the very affordable bronzers, brush sets and cosmetic bags<\/a> by Sonia Kashuk grace the store\u2019s super shiny, super clean aisles (really, we can\u2019t get enough of this place)!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Then there\u2019s The Shops at Target including the oh-so-chic (and yes, oh-so-pocketbook friendly) The Webster collection, boasting Miami-inspired colors and tropical patterns. If it\u2019s a vintage picture or hurricane lamp you\u2019re after, Privet House has beautifully crafted home d\u00e9cor finds. Animal lover? Head over to Polka Dog Bakery for canine goodies packaged so adorably you actually consider getting a box\u2014and you have a cat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And, no Target review would be complete without a mention of Target designer collaborations<\/a>. Act quickly when these collabs drop and you’ll have your hands on high-design stuff without destroying your wallet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Target is organized<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Never, ever will you see scarves all knotted up in a bin that resemble a giant metal hamper. Never.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Instead, they\u2019re neatly suspended so you can almost envision what they\u2019ll look like draped around that tunic across the way. Pretty much everywhere you look, everything in the whole store is in its perfectly-folded, stocked and tidy place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hmmm. Wonder if they make house calls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. Target has great maternity clothes<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It never fails. Inevitably, one or two Liz Lange maternity tops end up in our dressing room and mind you, there\u2019s not even a baby on the way. Um, awkward!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In many other stores, we walk from the misses section and then\u2014boom\u2014it hits: a sea of tops blanketed in duckies conveys that we\u2019ve now entered “The Pregnant Section.” But not at our Target. The ladies department flows right into Liz Lange\u2019s wonderfully stylish world of figure flattering maternity clothes. Before we even notice that the blouse we just picked up is a little looser around the waist than normal, it\u2019s in our cart.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Seriously, their maternity styles are awesome.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. Target has a great website experience<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We love, love, love that the Target website is just like the store itself: clutter-free, easy to navigate, fun, affordable, and varied. (Their marketing folks would call that great branding; we just call it great).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Not only is the site easy to browse, it\u2019s chalk full of amazing online deals (spend $50, save 10% on select Target dresses is one example as of this writing), crisp product images and links that link to what they say they will (there\u2019s nothing more frustrating than clicking on wedges, only to read about umbrellas).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Plus, the site is downright fun. Phrases like, \u201cBig honkin\u2019 deals\u201d and \u201cS to the weet\u201d leave us grinning. We absolutely enjoy the link for the Shops at Target (yes, that again!) where each Shop\u2019s main page is unexpectedly playful and brimming with great items. Check out the dripping nail polish bottle for Cos Bar, an Aspen-inspired selection of beauty products including masks<\/a>, body butters and tweezers. The swaying Privet House sign also catches our attention, inviting us to browse all kinds of bohemian-vintage home d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6. Target has lots of real estate<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ever go to some stores where you have to lug your cart aaalllll the way backwards down the aisle to make way for Betty and her entourage of grandkids, neighbors and family? Well, Target puts an end to all the awkward side scoots and cart-induced toe bruises.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Aisles are roomy. There\u2019s…space.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

7. Target has deals<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When you know how to shop Target<\/a>, you can always find amazing deals (in store and online).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Their end caps (the ones around the outer perimeter of the store) have some outstanding steals. We recently fell in love with a tangerine-scented soap (up&up) that cost 89 whole cents. S to the weet! (See #5 for the reference).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Want a deal\u2014a mega deal\u2014on clothes? Check out the racks in the back where, on a regular basis, there are rows with selections starting at 30% off and upwards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And before you think these fantastic deals must mean you\u2019ll be settling for Bozo the Clown blouses that come only in XS sizes . . . not true.
Online too, there are always exclusives and printable coupons.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The deals are Target are pretty darn great.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

8. Target represents affordable quality<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Used to be the term, \u201caffordable quality\u201d was considered a bit of an oxymoron. You know: Jumbo Shrimp. Long shorts. Modern history. You get the point. But aisle after aisle proves that both well-priced and well-made go hand in hand at Tar-jay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are evenly stitched dresses with lining that clings to the material (not your body…how annoying is that, anyway)? Strollers are as durable as their pretty sushi plates. Notecards ooze with such whimsy, they make us want to send elegant \u201cThinking of You\u201d messages to people we don\u2019t even like. And the best part of all of this?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Affordable, affordable, affordable!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

9. Target is Convenient <\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Unless you\u2019re looking for something so obscure like glow in the dark posters of Barry Manilow, Target\u2019s got just about everything you need under one roof.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Of course the selections vary by location, but basically you\u2019ve got everything from skirts to Skittles here. Whether your style\u2019s more conservative<\/a> or colorful, quirky or classic, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll find what you set out for (and then some).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

10. Target delivers happy, sensory thrills<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whenever we walk in, we half expect to see random strangers high-fiving while R.E.M\u2019s \u201cShiny Happy People (holding hands)\u201d serves as the musical backdrop to our wonderful shopping experience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Can you blame us?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s see: all five senses are immensely satisfied. First, there\u2019s that very subtle, pleasant smell of popcorn that immediately greets us, yet never seems to follow us throughout the store (whew)! Within minutes, we\u2019re off whiffing all kinds of rosemary mint conditioners and mandarin olive oil shampoos. As we\u2019re deep-breathing, we\u2019re catching glimpses of beautiful colors and patterns. We run our fingertips across soft jammies and rope-textured ottomans. We hear pretty much nothing. (See # 11. It\u2019s a good thing).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And when we leave, we\u2019re always fully satisfied yet still left hungering for more of that Target goodness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

11. Target isn’t loud<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The other day, I heard an intercom announcement: team members should now gather for the Friday morning \u201chuddle.\u201d (\u201cHuddle.\u201d Don\u2019t ya just love it!? Even their meetings sound fun).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That\u2019s when it dawned on me. This may have been the first time I\u2019ve heard a page like this\u2014or of any kind\u2014at Target. Typically, employees have walkie-talkies to communicate (because really, do we need to know about that \u201cbird mishap\u201d by the front door)?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ahhh, so refreshing in a world often filled with ear-splitting, intercom run-ons: \u201chousewaresinaislefive*click*\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Thank you Target, for respecting the inner ear. Sigh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, let\u2019s see. Great styles, plenty of room (and room for fun), terrific prices and affordable quality. Yup, we definitely love Target. For more than one reason.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
