The Christmas season is officially upon us! It’s time to deck the halls, hang the mistletoe and prepare your milk and cookies for Santa.
With the festive season just around the corner, I know I’m among the countless Aussies currently planning (and fretting, a little bit) about how to decorate the home for Christmas in 2023. But thankfully, I’ve found my saving grace when it comes to tinsel, trees, baubles and more.
As a certified Target girlie, I have homewares, clothing, shoes and much more from the brand. I talk about Target all the time, so much so it annoys my co-workers as I saunter into the office wearing yet another Target blazer or linen two-piece set.
And when it comes to their Christmas offerings, Target Australia has delivered in 2023. We’re talking chic tablescapes, unique Christmas ornaments and matching pyjamas.
And what better time to shop for your Christmas decorations, tree, décor or homewares, than during the 2023 Black Friday sale.
What we’d buy from Target’s Black Friday sale
