  1. I'm sure this will make me post as anonymous which I dislike but I'm not too shy to identify myself! If I won the card, the practical part in the head would say use it to buy diapers for the baby we're having in a few weeks and the impractical part in the head would say get some new earrings or a watch to keep track of those nighttime feedings! Since it's Target, theoretically you might be able to manage two out of three which ain't so shabby!
    Cheers to Friday!

  9. I need some outdoor furniture so I would use it to spruce up my back yard -Carmen dot Goddard at yahoo dot com

    ReplyDelete
  10. I would like to think I would buy something for myself as a special treat but I would probably fond something for the twins or the boys and get them stuff. But if I look at my favorite section, clearance, I'm sure I could probably find something for us all

    ReplyDelete
  11. I would buy some new shoes...of course!L

  22. What an awesome giveaway! I know this sounds lame...but I would probably grocery shop. My husband has Crohn's disease and his snacking is limited. They have great fruit strips with little sugar/no extras and almonds! :)

    ReplyDelete

  26. I don't have anything in mind that I'd buy if I won, but I know I could find something. I love Target! I'm in need of some new clothes, so it would probably go towards that. Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway AND for having such an awesome blog. <3

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'm a huge Target fan. I probably spend way too much time/money in Target every month. I would probably buy some cute clothes for either my daughter or my son who's due in May.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Well, knowing what shopping trips to target are like for me, I will probably have a plan on what I'd buy, then get totally distracted and end up with a bajillion things in my cart that I didn't plan on. Oh well! C'est La vie!

    ReplyDelete
  29. ohhh target..love that store! no clue what I would get, there are so many awesome things there! Would probably just walk and look til something grabbed me :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Wednesday and Friday are my favorite days to check your blog. I love all the cute clothes you inspire us with and the fantastic DIY inspiration. While I've tried some fun clothes, I haven't ventured into the DIY project world. It might become an obsession.

    As for how I would spend the $50 at Target if I was lucky enough to be the winner... I've been eyeing up a cute little sweater dress and a fun top--both found on clearance right now.



    Thank you for all your inspiration!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm always looking for cute new clothes there, but I also love their things for the home!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Thanks for the party, Abbie! If I won, I'd buy non-perishables to better stock out pantry.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I love Target!! I would buy a cookbook (Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - sold online and my next adventure) and use the rest for some cute new shoes! (Especially because ice creams + any-clothes-other-than-yoga-pants = maybe not the best idea. LOL!)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thanks for featuring my friendship keychains! Linking up some new projects. Thanks for hosting!

  35. Karen @ Candid DiversionsFebruary 25, 2013 at 9:55 PM

    Instead of just spending $50 at Target and not being sure what I got (it's happened before) I think I'd try to be purposeful and buy things for our latest addition - we're expecting our first baby boy in May. He'll join four eager older sisters but I'm thinking their hand me downs are not going to work too well. ;)

    Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I would buy some baby things for our new baby boy coming in May!

  44. I love me some Target! I'm pretty sure if I won I'd buy a rug, really need one now for a room I'm redoing! I'm already a happy follower and have a great day!

  45. Target is always so fun. I think I would use it for houseware things for me or makeup and clothing for my daughter. I love to shop with her:)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hmmm, shopping. Well, among the things I would consider at Target would be some new PJ's for the kiddos, kitchen gadgets, including a couple of new knives, a better colander, and other window-shoppy things. Thanks!

    Thanks for hosting, Abbie! If I won the gift card to Target, I'd probably spend a little bit of time in the ladies clothes and then go back to check out the fun household accessories. Congrats on 50 parties! Have a fabulous weekend!

  50. What wouldn't I do with a Target giftcard! Fun crafty items, a new cardigan for me and dress for the little one? Yes please! The options are endless! Well, $50 and then that's it- so not quite endless, but I would just have to get creative. I think i'm up for the challenge though... :)

    ReplyDelete
  51. We just moved so I would spend it on new decor for the new house!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I would love to get some organizing supplies, a table lamp to brighten up my living room, and of course diapers for my little guy.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I would buy work out clothes! I got an elliptical for Christmas and am currently rotating and washing my 3 pairs of pants and 3 sports bras. Definitely not enough when I am working out every day!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Today, glass candle jars are on clearance at Target. I would buy all the clearance candles that I could with my $50 gift card. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  55. It's funny, in a not funny way, that I have really been wanting new pillows for my living room couch just to spruce it up a bit. I would love the Target gift card to be able to do that. Your next post features pillows I absolutely love. (Actually for my bedroom though as that's the color scheme.) Would love to know where you purchased it and for that picture to be in a post I could pin for inspiration, but it did not seem appropriate to put this comment there due to the nature of the post. Thank you!!

    ReplyDelete

  94. Can I just say, your blog is my favorite one, and the ONLY one I visit every.single.day. Even on the weekends sometimes, when you're not even posting! I just love it that much! Haha!

    And FYI, I was the one who bought the brown leather jacket from you, and the first day I wore it I got several compliments, and then I wore it to church and got MANY compliments! :) Made my day!

    As for what I would buy with the gift card if I won it... Probably coffee. Lots of it. And anything that I like that's on sale. Bargain shopping all the way!

    ReplyDelete
  95. 50?! Crazy! That made me realize I started reading your blog when I still worked in the WAC nursery and Della started coming. Time is flying by and I should be too young to feel like that! ha! Target is the best. My husband decided he wants a floor lamp for our living room and saw one at Target he likes. Considering he NEVER says he wants anything (seriously, the hardest man to buy for..."I'm fine, I don't need anything..."), I would love to get it for him :)

    ReplyDelete
  96. Thanks for a great giveaway! I would love some white bathroom rugs and a white shower curtain. I am recently loving how soothing and soul-calming white looks.
    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  97. Congrats on the big 5-0!

    I'm expecting our first baby this June, so I think I'd be spending the Target card on maternity wear! Or maybe cute baby things!

    ReplyDelete
  98. Target's new home collection that features all that lovely mint and blush and white designs, I'd blow the whole $50 on that—'cause it's not happening any other way! :)

    ReplyDelete
  100. First of all Abbie I've been following your blog for like a year now. It all started when I was looking for ottoman ideas. And then I was contemplating a haircut, and I loved your bangs and your style. And then I fell in love with your thrifted or grifted (if you can't tell, why should you pay retail, seriously!). And now I look forward to reading your blogs everyday. If I only have time for 5 minutes of blog reading time, its yours. Anyway, I could totally use a target gift card. I'd get a couple of lamps, I've got my eye on the black and white owl ones, for my bedroom redo thats almost complete.

  101. I just started knitting so I'd LOVE to get a cute little basket or crate to put all my yarn in!

    Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this
