Cupcakes & Target Finds.

Happy Friday! I think that Friday is one of my favorite days of the week, solely because the school week is over and I can finally relax and catch my breath. I also love Fridays because of the fun activities on Friday afternoon and night. This afternoon, I went with my sister to a bakery/cupcake store that just moved locations closer to my school. I loved it! I also love celebrating life and cupcakes are the perfect way to do so! Everything was pink and cute and the cupcakes were delicious! I also love spending time with my sister because I am not able to do that with our busy schedules. Tonight, my school hosted a comedy/improv night and my friends and I decided to go. We weren’t sure what to expect because of the theme name, “Mission Improvable.”  Once the show got started we were pleasantly surprised at how funny it was. Afterwards, we went to Target to have a little fun with retail therapy. While leaving the Improv show, I thought of a cute idea for this post. I received a $30 gift card to Target for Christmas and I thought I would try to find some things each under $30 and share them with y’all. If I had had more time in Target, I would have included more things. Here are some of my favorites!

        

Pinwheel Straws: $3

Paper straws have become very popular recently and I love them (and they are cheap)! I use them so frequently, even when drinking water. They add a little pizazz to whatever I’m drinking (and I just think they’re really cute!). When I saw these I knew I had to buy them! The pinwheels are just so happy!  

               

Tassel Banner: $3

Another item that is very popular as well are tassel garlands. I actually have a pink and gold one I made hanging above my bed. They are so cute and can add a little something extra to a classroom, bedroom, or party!

Cupcake Liners and Toppers: $3

I love cupcakes! They can turn any frown of mine upside down. These ones are Valentine themed. I love the little topper that says “Made with Love” on them. With the right frosting and these cupcake liners and toppers, you’ll get ooo’s and ahh’s with how cute they are!

Statement Necklace: $16.99

The right necklace can really pull together an outfit. I love to accessorize! I enjoy finding nice pieces of jewelry that are both cute and functional. This one from Target is not too expensive and can be worn with multiple outfits to add that extra pop of color! I believe it is also available in cream.

Notecards: $12.95

Normally, I would never spend that much on notecards (unless they were monogrammed); however, these were cute! I actually did not buy them because I had already picked out a few things to spend my gift card on, but I just thought I would share.

Movies: $13-$14.99

Both of these movies are great, but totally different. My school showed The Intern and I loved it! Robert De Niro plays the sweetest, most chivalrous old man. I was so impressed with the movie that I had to buy it! American Sniper is also a very good movie. It is the story of Chris Kyle, and his endeavors for freedom, life, and love. This movie has a completely different tone compared to The Intern, but still good nonetheless. 

I was going to include some pieces of clothing, but after trying them on I decided not to. I love Target clothes! Before Thanksgiving break, I found a cute swing/shift dress that I wear all of the time. I love dresses, so I am always looking to find a new cute one that is good for my budget!

Now you have plenty of ideas for things under $30 at Target for gifts or even yourself! Just make sure you don’t overspend, as that is easy to do with so many cute things to buy. Thanks for reading and be looking forward to another post soon!
