Books
It's a tale as old as time: you go into Target looking for one thing, maybe a new mascara or some toilet paper, and you walk out with a cart piled high full of amazingness that you never planned to be taking home with you. OK, but the point is that Target is basically a one-stop shop for everything you could ever want or need: clothes, housewares, beauty, and yes, even books. Whatever you need, you can find it at Target, and chances are super high that it will be affordable, stylish, and the envy of all of your friends when it inevitably sells out before they can get to it.
