1. Free holiday shipping
If there’s one thing I pride myself on, it’s finding creative ways to get free shipping when I shop online. This holiday season, Target is offering free shipping for all Target.com purchases through December 20. Guess where I'll be shopping for gifts this year?!
- Program details: Order anytime between now and December 20 and everything you order ships free. Plus, most orders ship within one hour of purchase! And if you can't wait for shipping, in-store pickup services are free through Christmas Eve.
2. New Wish List app launch
While I've never had a moment's trouble keeping a running Target "wish list," their new Wish List app can't launch fast enough for my tastes. The app brings the homey family tradition of creating gift wish lists into the age of technology.
- Program details: Wish List has a list-building feature for each family member. Kids can add "must-have" items to their lists, and adults can view and share the lists with others. The app also seamlessly integrates with Target's Kids' Gifting Catalog via a cutting-edge augmented reality feature. Best of all, new Wish List-app users can choose one day where all their in-app purchases are 10% off!
3. STORY holiday partnership
STORY is a New York-based design firm that specializes in helping shoppers experience a familiar brand in a brand new and exciting way. Starting on November 5, STORY will be working with Target all during the holiday season to curate and highlight must-have holiday and gift items.
