If you’re looking to invest in an artificial Christmas tree this season, there are a multitude of options on sale at Target right now. (The pre-lit palm tree is kind of irresistible.)

Many avid readers tore through the pages of the best-selling “A Court of Thorns and Roses” series and with a TV adaptation in development, it’s likely only going to rise in popularity.

Collecting physical media is popular again and the holidays are the perfect excuse to start building a vinyl collection.

This Target-exclusive variant includes a bonus track called “The Manuscript,” which makes it a must-have for any Swiftie in your life.
You’ll be hard-pressed to spot the HuffPost team recommending many tote bags. The reason? They kinda come a dime dozen. However, this Lands’ End canvas tote is a true standout.
Why? It has pockets galore (inside and outside!), it’s made of thick canvas material that won’t easily snag or tear, the straps are the perfect thickness for carrying a day’s worth of essentials with snapping AND it’s wide enough to fit a small laptop or tablet. This is the ultimate everyday bag and it’s on sale for 40% off. Get it in two colors.

Get the pad in full, queen and king sizes.
Promising review: “I was truly impressed with the softness that this brought to a hard mattress in our guest bedroom. It’s a very firm mattress and people have a hard time sleeping. While it doesn’t take away all of the firmness, it did provide some softness and comfort to the bed. I was surprised at the thickness of the down. For the price, you can’t beat this. Great buy.” — Shellie

This mini blender doesn’t just whip up smoothies and shakes. You can also use it to enjoy breakfast or a snack on the go thanks to an airtight lid and a lightweight, compact design. Grab it for 20% off today. (Heads up that this blender was indeed voluntarily recalled by the Blendjet brand in 2023. The brand issued new bases and lids and based on reports from people who boug and used it afterward, it looks like it’s back in business.)
Promising review: “I got mine earlier this year (2024), so it wasn’t included in the recall, and I LOVE it so much! It’s so convenient to use and clean, and the battery lasts a long time. I use mine to make smoothies with frozen berries and the only time it wouldn’t blend because it thought something was stuck in the blades there WAS something stuck in the blade, so not a false positive. I should honestly get sponsored by Blendjet I’ve raved about this blender so much to everyone I know, but it’s just so convenient to use and clean it makes sticking to healthy habits so much easier.” — Mariann
“I finally gave in and bought a pair and now, I must join in on the praises for these these Jlab earbuds. I never thought I’d be an earbuds person but I’ve enjoyed wearing mine for walks, in the airport, around the house to block out my noisy family and more.
They’ve got impressive sound quality, they’re easy to use and I love being able to keep them on my keychain. I’ve already given away two pairs as gifts and they’ll be in several stockings this season.” — Marquaysa Battle, HuffPost deputing managing editor

This stylish, wool-upholstered pouf measures 17 square inches and is just the right size for tucking next to a sofa or alongside a coffee table for some much-needed extra seating when you’re having guests.
Few of us have the barista skills or the counter space to brew up an espresso with one of those complicated machines that cost an arm and a leg. Reviewers love how easy the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ is to use and the taste of the finished product. Gift one to yourself and another to your coffee-loving friend.
While the deal isn’t as sexy as hundreds off of a TV, I’ll have you to know that of all the mouthwashes dentists hope you stop using, this alcohol-free Listerine Total Care is one of only FIVE they recommend to HuffPost in a previous report.
Today, for Target Circle memberships (def just get the free one already), it’s 20% off along with all Listerine mouthwash products.
Target’s 400-thread count performance sheets will require little introduction to our audience. Their sturdy and shockingly high-quality construction combined with an impossibly reasonable price makes them an irresistible purchase for… well, practically anyone with a bed. The sturdy 100% cotton construction enables them to “wash beautifully,” in the words of one HuffPost editor’s mom, and the sateen finish will make you feel like you’re sleeping in a fancy hotel bed. (We speak from experience — multiple HuffPosters own this set.)
They’re available in 11 solid colors and sizes twin/twin XL-California king, and printed sets are also available at the same discount. You can buy these sheets piecemeal and get an individual fitted sheet or pillowcase set.
Anyone who has ever owned a Bose personal audio product knows the comfort and sound quality are unparalleled. Folks who want the earbud experience without having to shove them into their ears will be thrilled with their Ultra Open concept. They offer full, vibrant sound without completely blocking out your surroundings like some other headphones.
If you do prefer an immersive sound experience, these reviewer-adored noise-canceling headphones by Apple’s Beats could be just the ticket. The cushioned headphones are designed to feel comfortable and lightweight on the ears, and the brand promises an 80% improvement in audio when compared to the predecessor model, the Studio3. Multiple listening modes offer sound transparency or precise noise cancelling, and internal sensors work to provide responsive spatial audio. Today, they’re 29% off so grab them while you can.
This compact, hardworking toaster oven is hugely popular with customers and HuffPosters alike. (Shopping writer Erica Kam has a model very similar to this one that “makes sure she gets fed most of the time.”) This 7-in-1 appliance has the ability to air fry, warm food, and toast, along with baking and broiling on both regular and air-circulating convection settings. It can accommodate a 4-pound chicken or a 12-inch pizza and comes with a drip tray, frying basket and oven rack.
Grab it while it’s over 50% off — a massive deal for an appliance you’ll get huge value out of starting Day 1.
A Lego set is a fairly foolproof gift for a school-age kid, and given their increasing popularity with adults, it’s common for certain sought-after models to sell out around the holiday season. That’s why we were so excited to find an assortment of crowd-pleasing Legos marked 20% off at Target.
It’s definitely worth scrolling through the landing page that we linked below to see the multitude of Star Wars- and Minecraft-themed options, but we’re highlighting two of our favorites here: A Star Wars Advent calendar that features 24 miniature buildable sets from the science-fiction franchise, and a parrot-themed set that you can build in three different ways.
We regret to inform you that this parental nightmare is going to make your “Frozen”-loving children very, very happy. We’ve spotted this portable karaoke machine in the homes of numerous real-life children and have found that it’s a consistent crowd-pleaser. Use the machine to play songs from the “Frozen 2“ soundtrack, or use an external device to play your own music. The carrying handle and simple buttons make it easy for small hands to operate, and the attached microphone will ensure that your child’s vocal stylings can be heard from every corner of your living space. (Insert melting-smile emoji.)
Hey, at least it’s 25% off!
