“Would love to see another post about your favourite finds at Target. They’re coming to Canada and I’m so giddy I could piddle! Love your blog!” – Jaye
It’s been far too long since our last window shopping trip—about ten months—so for everyone who’s been asking (especially those who used the word “piddle”), here’s a fresh Target roundup. These outings are simple and fun: we stroll the aisles, snap photos of pieces we love, and share finds we’d actually consider bringing home. Nothing sponsored—just honest picks from a casual browse. Ready to wander Target with us?
First up, I fell for some oversized blue glass lamps priced around $49. Their shape and color make them versatile statement pieces for living rooms and bedrooms alike. Nearby I also spotted small hexagonal vases with a bee/hive motif for about $6.99—perfect for single stems or clustered as a shelf vignette.
There was a subtle Americana theme in one section: red-and-white rugs, crisp pillows, and simple side tables. The tables were marked down in-store; I couldn’t find the exact price online, but they looked like solid, clean-lined accent pieces that would fit many styles.
A blue-stained wood mirror for $19.99 caught my eye. It would be great in a gallery-style wall arrangement mixed with other mirrors and art for an eclectic but curated look.
At $79.99 the Privet House poufs weren’t bargain-basement, but they were adorable—especially the coral option. They had a West Elm/CB2 vibe and would work well as casual extra seating or footrests.
I’m forever weak for ceramic animals. A small yellow cow creamer—meant for serving cream—reminded me of some previous favorites and could easily double as a tiny vase for small blooms. It was priced at $4.99 and felt like one of those whimsical, useful pieces you keep forever.
There were several pretty glassware options: deep coral geometric tumblers at $3.49–$3.99 and complementary green glasses with a different pattern in the same price range. A few of the larger patterned glasses were $5.49–$5.99 and would be charming in a nautical or summer-themed table setting.
A utensil caddy I liked—handy for transporting cutlery and napkins for outdoor dinners—was about $9.99 and also came in blue. I didn’t grab it that day, but it’s high on my list as a practical reward after a planned deck-building project.
Navy-striped sheets felt fresh and versatile; they could work in a dorm room or be part of a more polished bedroom design. Twin sets were roughly $20, queen around $29, and king about $39. Affordable basics with a classic twist.
Decorative lampshades for $19.99 could easily update a neutral room—swap a plain white shade for one of these and the space wakes up without a major overhaul.
I was on a bit of a coral kick and loved a quilt with an almost-tribal detailed pattern; it felt sophisticated, somewhere in the realm of designers like Thomas O’Brien or Nate Berkus. I pictured it with a deep gray headboard and navy accents to keep the look grounded.
A gradated serving tray felt cheerful and practical for summer entertaining, and a $12.99 pillow nearly came home with me—John verbally restrained me, pointing out my existing pillow surplus. He was right, but it was tempting.
Table runners at $17.99 would be an easy way to brighten a dining table dressed in simple white dishes. Lightweight, seasonal sheet sets in pretty spring colors were $29–$39 depending on size; they made me briefly wish I swapped bedding seasonally, though I tend to keep one set per bed for simplicity.
Doormats I picked up for the patio were soft but made from durable indoor/outdoor material—about $12 each—and have held up well through rain and muddy feet. I’m really glad we replaced tired jute mats with these bright options.
A 5×8 rug with a bold orange trim felt very West Elm-esque and was around $126. It would be great in a child’s room or a compact living space that needs a pop of color.
The bathroom section offered glass soap pumps and apothecary-style accessories; some soft pink glass pieces and white tribal-patterned containers felt worldly and textured—easy ways to add charm to a powder room.
In the snacks aisle I happily spied gummy fried eggs from a candy brand I love—perfect for a themed party or just a sweet treat for the kids.
Garden-friendly items like woven baskets and colorful rain boots looked cheerful paired together. The pet section had natural dog treats from Polka Dog Bakery and a lot of cute bowls and toys. One ice cream sandwich toy was adorably oversized for our dog, so we passed on it for now.
One purchase I should mention: a toy storage bin we bought earlier that’s great for corralling balls, trucks, and outdoor toys. It was on sale for $54 (down from $65) and we also used a card promotion for an extra 5% off. Note: some people mentioned the lid lacks a slow-close mechanism, so we keep ours in a supervised spot and retrieve items for Clara rather than letting her open it solo.
There you have it—plenty of Target finds for home, garden, pets, and entertaining. If you’re in Canada and Target finally arrives there, have fun exploring. Tell me what you pick up—I’m always curious which pieces catch other people’s eyes.
