It’s before Thanksgiving and I’m seeing lots of people’s homes on Instagram fully decorated for Christmas. Well, I get it that it’s a lot of work and some people want to have longer to enjoy it. But I really wasn’t into the holiday spirit until… Chief and I took a little trip to Target.

Target is full of fun, well-priced things for Christmas!

They were not playing Christmas carols yet but it was festive. I’m pretty sure Chief is not allowed in (you know what they say about asking for forgiveness rather than permission).

So, I put him in disguise. Plus, we stayed away from the grocery area.

   First of all, at the front of the store they had this sort of boutique with

Matching Pajamas For The Whole Family

I got a visual image in my head of our whole family wearing these on Christmas morning. SMILE. Can you envision YOUR family? Yes, it’s dorky…somehow I love it. $19.99 and all sizes right now. I might take a family poll or just make an executive decision about this.

Christmas Stockings

I’ve been using the same old white silk stockings for years. Target is loaded with cute ones.

Hot Chocolate Station

I love how all the fun fixings are in one spot.

Cozy Slippers

These are my favorite suede slippers and I see you can get them in leopard and black, too, online (hint to my family: for me for Christmas, Black size 7). $19.99 and you will love them.

Scented Candles

When I rounded the corner and saw these faux wreaths, they smelled real…it was the candles.

Christmas Cookie Cutter For The Whole Sheet

Have you ever seen anything like this? If it works, it’s brilliant.

Cute Winter Accessories

Fancy beaded clutch 

Only $15!

Super Soft Scarves

Lots and lots of pretty ones that feel like cashmere for around $15-17.

Honorable Mention

Fifteen days of Elf socks...I know someone who would think this is funny (Tommy).

I didn’t buy much BUT I’m still thinking about everything and I notice that a lot of these items have free two day shipping (at least to my zip code…and my sister’s, where we will be for Christmas, not sure about yours). So, perhaps, it’s time for a little Target online shipping.

I’m doing some “transitional” holiday decorating with pinecones and wreaths. How about you? 

On Thursday we have a great group of bloggers with specific gift guides for everyone on your list! See you then.
