For two solid months—yes, two—Target enthusiasts were completely enamored with a special in-store-only treasure. Pine tree snowglobe string lights were a hot holiday item, available only in limited quantities and, gasp, not online! Shoppers had to trek to the store, hoping to snag a strand or two with their name on them.
What sparked this $5 light craze? The Target Fam Facebook group! If you haven’t heard about it yet, brace yourself. Over 26,000 dedicated fans have joined this vibrant community. During the holiday season, the group buzzed with daily posts from eager shoppers on the hunt for the elusive lights. People shared screenshots of the item number for those moments when you needed to corner a staff member and plead for assistance in locating what you “needed.” Others posted pictures showcasing how they used the lights, spreading holiday cheer.
Now, there’s a new must-have that Target fans can’t stop raving about: the two-tiered, glossy white tray. For just five bucks, you can snag this beauty, style it to your heart’s content, and then snap Instagram-worthy pics that will leave your friends green with envy. Naturally, we’ll all rush to our local Target to find one for ourselves.
These Target treasure hunts can be quite the adventure! I admit, when I first saw the posts about the snowglobe lights, I rolled my eyes. What was all the fuss about? But during a visit to my local store, I spotted them. Two strands were practically calling my name. Even though I initially hesitated, my new Target Fam buddies convinced me I absolutely needed to buy them. It felt like middle school peer pressure all over again—except I’m a thirty-eight-year-old mom of four who should know better!
With the arrival of the tiered tray, which is delightfully neutral and perfect for year-round use, I found myself scouring my Target’s Playground section. I’m slightly embarrassed to admit how often I swing by “just to grab a few things.” Yep, I’m that cliché mom who stops for “Tarbucks”—that’s what we call Target’s in-store Starbucks—and browses the “only a few bucks” aisle.
Let me cut to the chase. On my first shopping trip of the year, I found the two-tiered tray, and it was just as stunning as my Target friends had promised. But then, I faced a dilemma: what on earth would I do with it? It quickly turned into a classic If-You-Give-A-Mouse-A-Cookie situation. Once I had the “only” $5 tray in my cart, I was on a mission to find items that would complement it. I grabbed various decorations, coordinating a chic red and pink Valentine’s display.
Strangely enough, I felt a rush of excitement that wasn’t from caffeine. It was the thrill of discovering something coveted that could transform my home from drab to fab. The tray became a gateway to purchasing all sorts of items I didn’t even know I needed—until Target told me otherwise.
I’m one of those people who think if it’s not from Target, what’s the point? I get my groceries there, including my beloved dairy-and-gluten-free java ice cream. Cleaning supplies? I’m all about the Method grapefruit line. And my kids? They live in Cat and Jack clothing from head to toe. Just when I think I’ve mastered my shopping routine, Target unveils something new that lures me back in. Honestly, it feels impossible to leave the store without picking up a few extras that weren’t on my list.
Some Target Fam members are even getting creative with their treasures. Imagine this: you can place the snowglobe string lights in the bottom tier of the tray, celebrating all things winter and cozy. Then, use the top tier for cute knick-knacks, candles, or chocolates—because who doesn’t love chocolate?
The versatility of this tray is almost dangerous! I recently bought a white container for it, only to realize I could change what it holds for each season and holiday. Why wouldn’t I? Owning this tray means countless trips back to the joyful mecca we call Target.
What new magic will Target unveil next? What’s the next item that will have us racing through those sliding doors into a wonderland of red and white? Only time will tell. One thing is for sure: whatever our Target friends deem trendy, you can bet we’ll be all in!
