Off the Rack: Valentine's Day Finds, 2016 Calendars and More in the Target Dollar Bins

Target dollar bin finds
Love is in the air at Target's newly redesigned One Spot, now known as Bullseye's Playground, with Valentine's Day goodies for crafts, decorating, gifting and more. The influx of pink, white and red is sure to get your attention, but if you're not ready for V-Day celebrations yet, there are tons of 2016 organization items to interest you and help you achieve those New Year's resolutions. Think home office items, stationary, calendars and more (some reminiscent of Target's designer collab with Sugar Paper LA) to choose from. I love the neon/neutral clipboard, a striped heart tote, some heart theme votives and more. Too much to choose from! On this trip my time was limited to the dressing room for a nursing sesh, a trip to the baby aisles for some items I'd run out of, and the toy section because, of course. But I can't wait to brave the cold again with my two littles in tow to pick up a few things for myself. Keep reading for more pics - see anything you need to make a Target run for?

Photographic evidence of my shopping trip with my two little darlings and double stroller (so far I love it - it's the Graco Ready2Grow). S is in the background rolling on the floor after enjoying a Starbucks cake pop while M is waiting to hop into my Moby wrap after a quick nursing sesh (he hates his carseat but loooves being worn). Diaper bag is the 'Adaira' by Kate Spade, a gift from Santa. I love it, especially now that I'm hauling stuff for two kids (aka more than I pack for vacation).

I picked up the half coral/half gray 2016 planner, and it's really cute and small enough to easily toss in your purse, but still has weekly layout. I was missing the selection of wall calendars they usually have for $1, but I suppose I'll take these designs because they are pretty cute!

Target has a lot of cute stuff in that section right now. I'm wondering where you got your boots, though. :-)

Old Navy! And they're on sale for $22:

If you take a half size I'd recommend sizing up as they run kinda small/narrow. But very comfy otherwise.

I noticed the similarity between Sugar Paper LA and the Dollar Spot stationery items a while back. I've also noticed some overlap with stuff I've found at Paper Source. My theory is that it's all made at the same factories, which is why we're seeing the same color schemes/designs between Target and other paper retailers.

I'm catching up on your blog now, you are always ahead of me on Target! I love the dupes with Paper Source, too, haven't been to one of their locations in ages, not since I lived in Chicago...

I grabbed two cute wall calendars last week. Target's dollar bin has been having some amazing things lately.
