GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED!
If you are a Mum and live in Australia, you will know about the Target Toy Sale.
For many Mum's this is a wonderful opportunity to get the Christmas shopping done in June.
Over the years, I have loved the chance to pick up some bargain toys when the Target Toy Sale rolled around. Normally, before attending the toy sale we eagerly await our catalogue to arrive in the mail and then I sit down and devour the catalogue, deciding what would be the best gifts to purchase. I try to choose wisely what would best suit each child and try to budget carefully so that it is not a large expense for us at the end of the year.
The cherubs treat the Target catalogue as a greatly treasured book and love to circle each toy that they really want. With over 250 exclusive toys it is a tough choice!
Some years nearly all of the Target catalogue is circled, of course, but they have slowly learned to only circle a few items that they really want the most. Hard for young children to put into practice but a great lesson to learn.
Target is one of my favourite places to shop and they have made it really easy for you to view what they have for sale with an online catalogue and with over 100 toys at half price. If you have cherubs...totally worth checking out. The sale runs for 3 weeks, June 21st - July 11th.
Today I have 1 x $50 Gift card to giveaway here on my blog.
Here are the giveaway guidelines:
1. Giveaway open to Australian residents only
2. Giveaway closes Monday 25th, 2012 (a quick one!)
3. Make sure you have email attached to your profile or leave it below
4. Leave a comment below and tell me:
What toy do your children most want this year?

ReplyDeleteMy daughter wants just about everything in the Target catalogue, but all my sone wants is a new nerf gun - longstrike in particular!!!! He has even said he doesn't want much else this year as we are having a big holiday soon (4 weeks travelling to and around Victoria) and he knows we won't be able to get much (which we always seem to do - or "Santa" does!!!!). Love that he is getting thoughtful as he gets older (he is 10).

It was left behind the car & of course I didn’t look,
Since that day I haven’t been let off the hook!

ReplyDeleteMy kids are entertained and creative with their quickies!! At first they annoyed me when the grandparents gave them to my kids for Christmas, but once I found a big baggie to contain them and my kids actually played nicely with them I decided they weren't so bad after all. I have to admit I still haven't figured out why they all have this plastic ball to go in--just the quickies themselves will do, they don't need a plastic ball to live in. MyKidsGuide
