1.
A colorful cotton hand and bath towel set that’ll impress your guests and put a smile on your face every time you dry off.
Target
Promising review: “This towel set is a beautiful green color! And soooo soft!! Great product!” —Nana
Price:Â $20Â for a two-piece set (also available in rust and black/white)
2.
A luxurious lip oil formulated with vitamin E and avocado, sunflower, and jojoba oils to help provide hydration and shine without any stickiness. The sparkly gold stars in the tube and cute packaging are extra perks.
Target
Promising review: “This is by far my favorite lip gloss/lip oil ever. And this is coming from someone who loves lip products and frankly has too many. This lip oil is so plush, and plumping, and shiny like no other. It also lasts for hourssssss! Lip products, especially glosses, hardly ever last more than an hour. I wore this to work one day, and it was still on after six hours. It’s also absolutely gorgeous in person; the pics don’t do it justice. The teeny tiny gold glitters throughout the lip oil and the packaging itself is actually pretty glam. Plus, it smells like vanilla cake. Which is always good. Basically, I think everyone should try this gloss, but then it’s gonna be even harder for me to find the dang thing in stores than it already is.” —AP
Price:Â $18
3.
A pack of ruby red press-on nails (with a stunning, velvet-like effect) for an instant manicure that’ll save you $$$ and a trip to the nail salon. Reviewers say these look realistic and actually stay on.
Target
Promising review: “These are such beautiful nails. That dark, mysterious, sexy vibe. Everyone complimented them. I love them so much I bought a second and got some no-lift nail primer to keep them on as long as possible (my nails don’t hold on press-ons very long), but even without the primer, they stayed on longer than any set I’ve tried.” —Rebecca
Price:Â $9.99
4.
A ~marble-lous~ latex-free makeup sponge reviewers say is soft, bouncy, and perfect for blending liquid products. Absolutely stunning — you and this sponge.
Target
Promising review: “I have never tried any of Sonia Kashuk’s products but I decided to grab it and it is so soft! The softest sponge I have ever used, it doesn’t soak up a lot of product either. When damp it gets so huge, and I love it because it covers so much surface space. It’s so much better than the $20 Beauty Blender.” —Kris
Price:Â $7Â for two
5.
An expensive-looking brass flip mirror with a built-in tray that’ll hold some of your favorite accessories and complement the other decorative items on your vanity.
Target
Promising review: “I absolutely LOVE this mirror. It looks amazing in my bathroom. It gives the perfect aesthetic to it. It has a normal side and a zoom side.” —VValentine
Price:Â $24.99 (also available in black)
6.
A pair of crystal-embellished mesh Mary Jane flats perfect for parties that involve dancing (because bopping around for hours in heels just doesn’t spark joy). These will also dress up any casual outfit, like your favorite T-shirt and jeans.
Target
Promising review: “Super comfortable and lightweight! It’s like not wearing any shoes!” —CJ
Price: $30 (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors)
7.
A soft and fluffy leopard-print throw blanket that’ll feel as good on your body as it looks draped over the couch. Chic and cozy? Sign me up.
Target
Promising review: “Our absolute favorite family blanket. It’s super soft and lightweight. It packs a punch for a thin blanket that delivers warmth, but doesn’t take up a lot of room. Comparable to Barefoot Dreams blankets that are well over a hundred dollars!! Will be buying more! Make excellent gifts!!” —Bikinibabe
Price: $30
8.
An expensive-looking (and quiet) tabletop clock that’ll remind you to get to your appointments on time — and also add some retro vibes to your decor.
Target
Promising review: “I really like this clock. The grey with the gold is really nice. The clock looks more expensive than it is. If you want a quiet clock, then this would be perfect for you. I have another analog clock and it ticks pretty loud but this one doesn’t make a sound.” —LorenaSDÂ
Price:Â $14.99
9.
A pearl-embellished claw clip you’ll want to wear in your hair every darn day. Plus, it’ll look so cute attached to your tote bag.
Target
Promising review: “This is a beautiful pearl hair clip that is also very functional. It holds all of my long, thick hair up nicely. This is very cute and I would highly recommend it.” —Mgaffney248
Price:Â $5
10.
A soothing hydrogel face mask designed to fit your face *perfectly* (because it’s actually two pieces instead of one) and stay on while you go about your day. This detoxifying formula only needs 10 minutes to work its magic, so you’ll get that ~post-facial glow~ in no time.
Target
This mask contains volcanic ash to help draw out impurities, aloe vera and bamboo water to help replenish your skin, and shea seedcake extract to help neutralize free radical damage. The two separate pieces ensure you’ll get a perfect fit.Â
Promising review: “I loved how cooling it is on my skin. I have sensitive skin, so a lot of the time, products burn it, and it hurts, but this did not do that! I felt so good afterward and my skin was so soft!” —SierraspectrumÂ
Price: $5.99 (also available in glow and rejuvenating formulas)
11.
A simple and elegant ceramic table lamp your guests definitely won’t believe you got from Target for $30. For this price, you might as well get a matching pair to achieve peak symmetry.
Target
Promising review: “These lamps are amazing quality for the price!! I love that there is “warm” tones incorporated in the grey!! They are sturdy lamps. Love them!” —Caroline
Price:Â $30
12.
A balloon-sleeve belted LBD perfect for the transitional season. You can wear it with flats or sneakers now and add tights, some over-the-knee boots, and a cute jacket as the temperature continues to dip.
Target
Price: $30 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors)
13.
A pair of marble bookends to neatly display your ever-growing collection of novels. Reviewers say these are weighty enough to keep many books in place — even the heavier hardcover ones.
Target
Promising review: “I was really impressed to receive such quality pieces. They look and feel great, were much heavier than expected, and really are so elegant and modern. Elevates my book nook!” —Chantel
Price:Â $25
14.
A glazed stoneware mug so making coffee at home will feel just as special having one at a fancy cafe. Reviewers say these have a ~handmade~ vibe, with each one being slightly different.
Target
Promising review: “Simple mug that makes you feel oh-so happy and cozy while sipping your coffee. It’s dishwasher safe and doesn’t get unbearably hot when drinking hot drinks.” —Courtney
Price:Â $7.99 for two
15.
A fancy-looking *and* fancy-smelling three-wick candle (in a ginger and black tea scent) that could easily be mistaken for a ~designer~ version — except you’ll actually want to burn this one because it doesn’t cost a small fortune.
Target
Promising review: “My absolute favorite candle and scent. The tea scent is noticeable but not overpowering, and it smells so rich without being artificial and saccharine. I hope Target sells this forever. I’m hooked.” —Karenk
Price:Â $16
16.
A pack of lettuce-edge socks in rich jewel tones to give your sneakers or loafers a romantic, autumnal look.
Target
Promising review: “These are so cute. I’ve had my eyes on them for a while, and I thought I had lost my chance when they went out of stock. Luckily, there was a restock, and I was able to snag them. I love having several options for socks. A bold color can really pull an outfit together with minimal effort. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more colors in the future. Great job, Target!” —Rue Bee
Price:Â $9 for six pairs (available in four color combos)
17.
A cashmere vanilla-scented body serum stick (infused with magnesium and squalane) that’ll help you relax while hydrating your skin. It may not replace a full day at a spa, but you’ll sure smell like one after applying. Reviewers say this truly does have a calming effect.
Target
Promising review: “I’ve only had this for less than 24 hours and I already know this is a game changer for me! I carry so much tension on my neck/shoulder area and I feel immediate relief after applying this! And it smells so delicious!” —agf99
Price:Â $16.99 (also available in lavender and bergamot cedar scents)
18.
A set of fluffy rose gold brushes for creating a flawless face base, whether you’re in the “no-makeup makeup” mood or want a full glam situation.
Target
The set comes with a buffing brush, a concealing brush, a contouring brush, and a setting brush.Â
Promising review: “These brushes are great for blending your concealer, foundation, and also work really well with the E.l.f. putty blush and contour. They do have like one or two bristles that are longer than the brush but I just snipped them off with some scissors, other than that, they’re really good quality brushes.” —joey
Price: $16.99Â for a four-piece set
