“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 post—about ten months—and we’ve had a steady stream of requests to do another one. So here it is: a relaxed walk through Target, highlighting the pieces that caught our eye. These posts aren’t sponsored; they’re just a fun way to share what feels fresh, affordable, and stylish right now.
We started with two oversized blue glass lamps priced at $49. They had a great presence and would work well on a console or a pair of bedside tables for a high-impact, budget-friendly look.
We also noticed small decorative accents that felt playful and current: hexagonal vases in a hive motif for $6.99—perfect for a kitchen windowsill or a small grouping on a mantel.
There was a visible Americana influence in one display: red-and-white rugs, crisp pillows, and streamlined side tables. The side tables were on sale in-store (I couldn’t find the exact price online), but they had clean lines and would fit a variety of decors.
A blue-stained wood mirror for $19.99 felt like a smart layering piece for a gallery wall. It would be especially effective mixed with different shapes and finishes to create depth on a large wall.
Privet House poufs at $79.99 weren’t bargain-basement cheap, but they looked very polished—think West Elm or CB2 vibes. The coral option stood out as especially appealing for adding a pop of color.
Of course I noticed ceramic animals. There was a yellow cow creamer that felt whimsical and versatile—perfect for serving cream or used as a tiny bud vase. It was priced at $4.99 and seemed like an easy way to add charm to a kitchen shelf.
Glassware included deep coral geometric tumblers priced around $3.49–$3.99, and a similar green pattern at the same price point. They were inexpensive, colorful, and ideal for casual summer dining.
Patterned glasses at $5.49 and $5.99 had a slightly nautical, lobster-bake aesthetic that would pair nicely with red, white, and blue tabletop pieces for a seasonal feel.
A utensil carrier in neutral tones was about $9.99 and would be super useful for carrying gear to an outdoor table once a deck is built. It also came in blue and felt both practical and decorative.
Navy-striped sheets offered a timeless look that could translate from dorm to more grown-up bedrooms. Price points seemed to be roughly $20 for twin, $29 for queen, and $39 for king, making them an affordable way to update a bedroom.
Statement lamp shades at $19.99 would be an easy swap to liven up a neutral room—replace a plain white shade with one of these for immediate impact.
A coral-toned quilt had an almost tribal, detailed pattern that read sophisticated rather than overly fussy. I pictured it with a deep gray headboard and navy accents to keep the palette balanced and modern.
There was a pleasing ombré serving tray that caught the eye for casual entertaining and a $12.99 pillow that I really wanted—John talked me out of it, reminding me we already have plenty of pillows. Still, it was tempting and a great reminder that small accents can refresh a room.
Table runners at $17.99 felt like a simple way to add color to a dining table. Full sheet sets and larger bedding pieces in light, springy prints were $29–$39 depending on size, and had me daydreaming about seasonal swaps even though we tend to keep just one set per bed in our smaller spaces.
Indoor/outdoor doormats in a cheerful green were soft to the touch and durable. They were roughly $12 each and have held up well through rain and muddy feet, making them a smart patio or sunroom choice.
A 5×8 rug with orange trim was about $126 and had a very modern, West Elm-like feel. It would work well in a child’s room or a casual living space for a bold accent.
Bathroom accessories included glass soap pumps and apothecary-style bottles that felt classic and slightly vintage. I liked the soft pink variants and some tribal-etched white pieces with worldly detailing that added texture without overwhelming the space.
On the snack front: gummy fried eggs from the candy section made me smile—they’re the kind of quirky treat that’s perfect for a celebration or themed party.
Garden-friendly items such as woven baskets and colorful rain boots were styled well as outdoor decor, and there were pet-focused finds from Polka Dog Bakery: natural dog treats, fun toys, and vibrant bowls. One ice-cream-sandwich toy was a bit large for our pup, but the rest of the selection was adorable.
One practical purchase we made earlier was a toy storage bin we used for a recent party. It was on sale for $54 (marked down from $65) and we used a store card discount on top of that. The bin holds balls, trucks, and overflow toys that don’t fit in the small rock-box when the lid is down. A few reviewers mentioned the lid doesn’t have a slow-close feature, so we keep it out of reach of very small children and only bring toys out for supervised play. So far it’s been convenient and durable.
That wraps up our latest Target window-shopping roundup. There were so many affordable, well-styled pieces across home, tabletop, and pet sections that it felt like a treasure hunt. If Target is coming to your area, have fun browsing and tell us what you bring home!
