Target Gift Guide for Kids ~ #MyKindOfHoliday + GIVEAWAY!

Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Target.

Hi lovelies!  With Christmas nearly here, it's time to finish up that shopping!  I'm sharing some of the items on my kiddos lists with you, in the event you're still searching for what to get that kid on your list!

My 12 year old daughter loves Lego Friends sets, and my 8 year old son is currently obsessed with Lego City.  Together, they love playing games on our Xbox + Kinect.  If they're really good, perhaps Santa will leave a few of these items under the tree!

Luckily, I do most of my shopping at Target.com, so it's super easy for me to get all their gifts at one spot.  In store, I take advantage of the savings offered using their Cartwheel app, as well as my RedCard.

Now for you, my lovely loyal readers.  Target would LOVE to give one of you a $25 gift card!  To enter, use the rafflecopter form below.  As a mandatory entry, visit Target.com and leave a comment letting me know what your favorite gift for kids is and who you would give it to!  That's it!

Shopping at Target on Black Friday #MKOH #MyKindOfHoliday

Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Target.

Hi lovelies!  Shopping on Black Friday is a kind of tradition for me.  I mean, I always do it but I'm not one of those crazies that camps out or tramples people and grabs random crap I don't need.  I usually only go to Target because they have great deals on things for my kids.  I can easily save about 50% by shopping the deals.  Best part about it?  I can sleep in on Friday and head out late morning/early afternoon and still not miss out!

A few of my tips n tricks are:

• Study the sales circular to find the best Black Friday deals and research to make sure that it's *truly* a great deal.  That awesome Lego set may have a tempting price tag, but a quick search can yield a better price elsewhere.
• Download the store map to find where the deals are located in your local Target store.  Remember there are usually cardboard bins and shelves throughout the store, so those movies you're eyeing may not be in their normal section but instead in women's clothing.
• Use your redcard to save 5% automatically (seriously, if you don't do this you're crazy).  It's so easy to get a Target debit card so the money still comes out of your checking account but you save $$!  
• Match the deals you're shopping for to the available coupons and Cartwheel offers to save even more money on the things you already buy.

Now, here's what I went for:

Best part?  I spent well under $100 and got a 20% off coupon to use next week!  So hurry up and head to your local Target to get some Black Friday shopping in, without all the craziness!

Holiday Gift Guide ~ For the Older Kiddos #MyKindOfHoliday

Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Target.

Hi lovelies!  Today I'm partnering with Target to give you some great gift ideas for older kids.  I picked out a few items from Target's Kid's Catalog that my 8 year old son and 12 year old daughter would love!!

I can't make a trip to Target without them running to the toy department and asking 'Can I get this?' over a dozen times... especially my son with Legos!  This Ninja Turtle set and the Lego City set would be perfect surprises under the tree for him!

My daughter, on the other hand, is getting older.  She's more into clothes now (btw - how adorable is this sequin striped & fur trimmed zip up hoodie?), but still has some fun with toys.  These Crayola sets are things she's already asked me for and if she's good, maybe Santa will leave them under the tree for her.

I always get them movies, and Disney's Planes is perfect for them (okay, and me!) to watch while cuddled up in our pajamas with a big bowl of popcorn.

If you have to buy gifts for kids of any age, head to Target! (and don't forget to use your RedCard to save 5%!)
