So before the big weekend started I posted my strategy for how I was going to shop. Here’s how I fared.
I came, I saw and I conquered! This past weekend was great for jump-starting the season of giving! I made a list and checked it twice and found great gifts, for those who were nice! Here's where I went:
Target:
Things I planned to get that I crossed off my list:
Basket for my niece: After going to two separate Target stores, both were out of stock, as was the website, I ended up purchasing this really cute basket from Pottery Barn Kids. It was on sale for $28.99 and they had an additional 25% off with free shipping!
Basket for Mom: Success! Purchased this basket at Target. My mom will love it, she is obsessed with owls!
Faux Tree: I ended up getting a new tree from Amazon instead of target.
Magazines: I stocked up on magazines. I love getting the December issues for extra gift ideas!
Stockings: I have stockings for our home, but I like to get the small cheap ones and fill them up for my assistants at work. I got really cute sequin stockings at Target from their seasonal discount section!
Things I didn’t get:
There's nothing I didn't get at Target, I got everything I needed on my Target Run!
Additional Items that I got:
Wrapping Paper and Ribbon
Malls:
