If you've ever wondered what someone who practically lives at Target actually buys, here's everything currently in my cart.
My boyfriend, my golden doodle, Biscuit, and I somehow end up at Target multiple times a week, and no matter how many times we promise we're "just grabbing one thing," we never leave with just one thing.
Peep the mini Target basket that I linked below — because YES, you need one
With a Starbies in hand, Biscuit happily making his way through the aisles, and my inevitable stop at Bullseye's Playground, every trip somehow ends with a cart full of fashion finds, beauty products, quirky home decor, pet essentials, and at least one impulse buy I definitely wasn't planning on.
I couldn't walk past this woven alligator pencil holder without picking it up. It's a playful way to organize pens, makeup brushes, or other small accessories while adding a whimsical touch to any space.
I'm convinced this Poppi throw pillow is one of the cutest dorm decor finds I've spotted at Target this summer. It's playful, colorful, and adds just the right amount of personality to a bed, couch, or reading nook without taking itself too seriously!
First stop: home decor. If there's one department I can never resist, it's home. I always tell myself I'm "just looking," but somehow I leave with playful pieces that make my apartment feel a little more like me. From quirky organizers to colorful decor that instantly puts me in a good mood, these are the finds that caught my eye.
With the new Minions movie bringing everyone's favorite yellow troublemakers back into the spotlight, I couldn't resist adding these striped boxer shorts to my cart. They're playful, comfortable, and an easy way to embrace the character fashion trend without going over the top.
I've officially lost count of how many times I've reached for this gingham active dress. It's sporty, comfortable, and cute enough to wear well beyond a workout, making it one of my favorite Target fashion finds this summer.
Once I've done enough damage in the home section, I somehow find myself wandering over to clothing. This is where some of my favorite Target purchases have happened, including pieces I've worn so often I've genuinely lost count.
When I stumbled on these Minion Pajamas during my last trip to the store I knew I seriously had to have them. Especially with the new movie just releasing this month!
No Target run is complete without a stop in the beauty aisles, especially with the Ulta section. Whether I'm stocking up on skincare staples or giving in to this nostalgic Lisa Frank collaboration that reminds me of my childhood, this is one section where I always seem to discover something new.
As someone who's always looking for little ways to make my skincare routine feel more luxurious, these under-eye masks were an easy addition to my Target cart. I love reaching for them after an early morning or a long day in front of my computer.
Seeing Lisa Frank at Target instantly transported me back to my childhood, so there was no way I was leaving this body scrub behind. Between the nostalgic packaging and Tree Hut's signature exfoliating formula, it's the perfect excuse to add a little color and fun to my shower routine.
And of course, I never leave without picking up something for Biscuit. He may not know exactly what's on the shelves, but he's more than happy to tag along while I shop, and I love spoiling him with toys, travel accessories, and anything else that makes our adventures together a little more fun.
Keeping Biscuit hydrated is always at the top of my list, which is why this travel-friendly water bottle earned a spot in my cart. I love that it has a built-in bowl, making water breaks quick, convenient, and mess-free.
Biscuit has more energy than I know what to do with, so this automatic ball launcher felt like it was made for him. It launches mini soccer balls at adjustable distances, making fetch even more fun.
My pup has endless energy, so anything that keeps him active is a win in my book. This FIFA-inspired automatic ball launcher turns an ordinary game of fetch into something a little more exciting, and I know he'd happily chase tennis balls for hours.
Some Target finds serve a purpose, and others simply make me smile. These are the impulse buys I definitely didn't need, but somehow can't imagine my home without.
Without a doubt my dog Biscuit is a bigger fan of Target than I am and knows exactly where to go when we get inside!
Trust me, I definitely didn't wake up thinking I needed a gummy bear trinket dish, but Target has a funny way of changing my mind. These are the impulse buys that made their way home with me anyway.
I have a soft spot for quirky home decor, so this gummy bear trinket tray was an instant yes for me. It's a fun way to organize jewelry, keys, or other small items while brightening up a nightstand or vanity.
Did I need a tiny Target shopping basket? Absolutely not. Did it somehow end up in my cart anyway? Without question.
By the time we make it to checkout, our "quick Target run" has somehow turned into a full cart, an empty Starbucks cup, and at least a few purchases we definitely weren't planning on making.
If you are a Target Superfan like I am, I have a feeling that you will appreciate the above picks as much as I did when I added them to cart. Take this as your sign to shop at Target today, because why not?
