Target sure knows how to throw a party! Some friends and I recently helped Target celebrate the Holidays at their downtown Stockyards location and it was definitely an evening to remember. On site to help celebrate with us was television personality Ross Matthews, recording artist Kardinal Offishall, designer Chris March and other notable guests. The store, which was also open to their public that evening had “sweet” tables, games and challenge stations set up throughout the store to help spread Holiday cheer. Media guests and shoppers played PLINKO with Toronto Raptor alum Jerome Williams, clawed their way to candy, enjoyed caroling music and took photos wearing the infamous TOMS together sweater! Fellow blogger Jenelle from Nelle Creations even had a “wrap-off” with Toronto rapper Kardinal…I think she won? Target has quickly become one of my favourite shopping destinations for the entire family…they have the cutest children’s clothing including apparel brand Beaver Canoe, home decor pieces designed by Nate Berkus, shoes & accessories designed by husband & wife duo Sam & Libby, hard to find beauty brands like Sonia Kashuk & NYX Cosmetics and SO much more!

Target has everything you could possibly ever need for the Holidays. From wrapping paper to Christmas lights to actual gifts themselves, it’s literally a one-stop-shop for all of your Holiday needs. I recently loaded my shopping cart with festive baking ingredients, Kris Kringle gifts, stocking stuffers and outfits for my kids upcoming school pageant. Of course…I also had to throw in a few makeup items! If you are looking for Holiday items or gift inspiration, I would definitely recommend checking out your local Target store.
