Oura on Monday announced that its smart ring will be available in select Target stores in the U.S. The deal, which also brings the wearable to the retailer’s site, follows similar announcements with Amazon in March and Best Buy last April.
It’s a good bit of validation for a company that almost singlehandedly legitimatized the smart ring as an alternative form factor to ubiquitous wrist-worn smartwatches and trackers. The retail push has been central to CEO Tom Hale, who took over the role in 2022, as interest in health trackers was on the rise amid the pandemic.
The period also saw high-profile adoptions from sports leagues like the NBA, as the company touted health tracking that could potentially catch COVID-19 infections early. In March 2022, the nine-year-old company announced that it had sold its one-millionth ring.
Target end caps will feature a “unique in-store sizing experience,” with dummy units on display. For those who purchase a $10 sizing kit through Target’s site, the retailer will send along a $10 gift certificate to offset the price.
The Gen 3 rings start at $300, but Oura’s subscription service is where the real revenue comes from. The company faced pushback when it announced that it would require the monthly fee to access certain features, though such criticism doesn’t appear to have had any major negative impact on Oura’s growth.
More validation for the form factor arrived earlier this year, when Samsung announced that it is launching its own fitness ring. The Galaxy Ring is set to hit the market later this year.

Legos are everywhere these days, including criminal enterprises. Earlier in the week, California’s Organized Retail Crime Taskforce performed a series of raids against an illegal fencing operation spread across four buildings in LA and Orange counties. During those raids, authorities found a collection of Lego sets estimated to be worth $300,000 overall.
This Week’s Toys Are Straight From a Multiverse of Marketing Madness
Various items were stolen from popular retailers like Target and Lowe’s, but the Legos were said to make up the bulk of stolen product. According to CBS News, there were so many boxes that they were lined up across the walls of the buildings, and in some cases, were able to touch the ceiling. (As an ex-retail worker, lemme tell ya: nightmare scenario having to pull from the middle section of those stacks.) Lego sets can get pretty pricey the more elaborate they are, and boxes can take up a lot of space, so it’s easy to image how packed those buildings must’ve been.
Four arrests were made in connection to the fencing ring, whose ages range from 35 to 47 years old. The suspects were then charged with organized retail theft, grand theft, and conspiracy to commit a crime. Per the LA Times, the quartet would go from store to store, with two of them swiping limited edition box sets before stashing them across their various safehouses before selling them in-person or online.
If you weren’t aware, this has actually been going on for quite some time. In December 2023, Inside Edition published a piece on what’s effectively the Lego black market, wherein thieves stole Legos during the holidays and sell them for a decent price, particularly the limited edition sets. A Lego store in Las Vegas got hit four times within a month of opening, and the store owner at the time said $2,000 worth of product was stolen.
Similar theft rings exist for stuff like Magic: The Gatheringand Pokémon, so it’s not too surprising to hear this is happening with Lego. Some retailers are trying to add some friction to the process, mainly by locking the toys behind a case or wrapping them in a security bind you have to remove directly at the register.
The cannabis industry has had a rough couple of years, but things are looking brighter. The one constant positive is consumer demand has continuously increased. You know it is good when Missouri has over $1 billion in sales last year. And, despite the struggles, the industry continues to grow. In fact, surpassing other job reports, the cannabis industry grew 5%. Around 440,000 work in market as of today. It is a clear indicator legal cannabis is here to stay.
While 440,000 is a big number – how big is it in relation to other industries? BDSA, an analytical firm who covers cannabis, reported the industry made $29.5 billion in the legal market. It would have been over $30 billion if not for the chaos and huge illicit market in New York. Like most industries, the weed one includes dispensaries, manufactures, some ancillary services, farmers and management. It is also a very small sliver of greater farming community. America’s farm families represent two percent of the population and help feed the other 98%.
Subway Sandwiches with a revenue of 16.5 billion employees roughly 410,000 including the franchises.
Grocer Kroger employs 430,000 in 36 states in 2,700 locations with sales of $150,000.
Target has 440,000 in their US retail stores with sales of $107 billion.
Starbucks and their famed coffee have 381,000 brewing almost $36 billion in sales at 16,449 locations.
Dentists, clocking in at half the number at 202,000, but if you fold in everyone in the industry including dental hygienists, they have 1,140,861 people employed in the US dental industry as of 2023.
CocaCola’s total number of employees in 2022 was 82,500. This helps drive the juggernaut of beverages with more than 1.9 billion servings of drinks sold in more than 200 countries each day.
The US alcohol industry supports around 4 million jobs, including employment in production, distribution, sales, bartenders and other related services. They help drive the drinks market of $183.5 billion last year.
Constellation, the alcohol company invested in cannabis has approximately 10,000 employees and Diageo has 3,100 people across North America.
Tobacco manufacturing in 2021 had 16,767 people and generated $886.09 billion in 2023.
The U.S. pharmaceutical industry employs over 1.3 million people. It is the largest pharmaceutical market generating over $550 billion dollars.

Target is launching Target Circle 360 on April 7th (same time that Target Circle Week starts). This is a competitor to Amazon Prime & Walmart+ and will normally cost $99 per year but if you sign up by May 18, 2024 it will be $49 for the first year (Target Circle cardholders will get the $49 pricing ongoing). It will provide the following benefits:
Unlimited same day delivery on orders of 35+ (works on anything from the Shipt marketplace as well)
Free 2-day shipping on hundreds of thousands of items
Target is pulling back on what’s become a ubiquitous and often speedier way for customers to pay for their purchases in stores.
The retailer on Thursday said it’s making changes to a key part of the buying process — the checkout line. Customers who choose self-checkout will be limited to 10 items, Target said. Otherwise, they’ll have to purchase their items via a human cashier before leaving stores.
Target’s “Express Self-Checkout” lanes will hit stores on Sunday at most of its 2,000 locations. The change comes after the company piloted the program at 200 stores last fall, with the company noting that self-checkout was twice as fast at those locations.
Target and other retailers invested heavily in self-checkout options during the pandemic to limit human interaction and mitigate the spread of the virus as well as to save on labor costs. However, some studies have found that self-checkout enables more customer theft.
For instance, a 2023 LendingTree survey of 2,000 U.S. consumers found that 15% of self-checkout users purposely stole goods. Forty-four percent of self-checkout thieves also said they would do it again.
Some customers are also souring on self-checkout, with a recent study from Drexel University finding that shoppers feel more loyal to a store and are more likely to revisit if they check out with a human cashier. And self-checkout could pose a financial risk to customers, with reports of credit card skimmers installed in retailers’ self-checkout lanes, such as at several supermarkets in Massachusetts.
Why is Target limiting self-checkout to 10 items?
Target said its impetus for limiting the number of items at self-checkout counters was to improve the customer experience by speeding up the process.
The retailer will also open more employee-staffed checkout lanes for customers with more than 10 items to help speed up the checkout process overall. Store managers will designate self-checkout lanes’ hours based on foot traffic patterns, Target added.
Other retailers also appear to have cooled on self-checkout after doubling down on it during the pandemic.
While Walmart hasn’t made any public announcements, some shoppers report on social media that the self-checkout lines at their local stores have been closed.
A Walmart spokesperson told CBS MoneyWatch that it is normal for some of its stores to “adjust the use of staffed checkouts and self-checkouts” depending on customer numbers and staffing levels. “This process isn’t new,” the spokesperson said.
During these times of limited access, some stores are designating select self-checkout stations for Walmart+ customers using our Scan and Go service and Spark drivers for quicker access and delivery services. This decision is intended to better manage checkout availability.

The Federal Reserve’s goal is to get the inflation rate at least near 2% before it begins cutting interest rates.
That’s a formal target backed by written policy, but it’s also the source of growing liberal discontent serving as another form of political pressure on Fed Chair Jerome Powell as he tries to navigate a white-hot election year.
Some on the left want that number to be higher. Some would prefer the Fed add a second target focused on the labor market. And several Democrats used public hearings this past week with Powell to question the target’s origins and why it has so much importance inside the central bank.
“It seems to come from Auckland and from the 1980s” a somewhat disbelieving Rep. Brad Sherman said Wednesday when it was his turn to question Powell.
The liberal stalwart from California was right. The path to 2% began with an off-the-cuff comment in New Zealand in 1988.
The Fed publicly adopted the standard 24 years later, in 2012, in a process that was met with discomfort from the left side of the political spectrum largely because of the lack of a parallel labor market target.
Senator Sherrod Brown, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, underlined this dynamic Thursday when he suggested Powell move quickly to cut rates “to prevent workers from losing their jobs” and added that “this town too often seems to forget that maximum employment is part of the Fed’s dual mandate.”
The Fed doesn’t have a numeric labor target even though its dual mandate requires it to aim for both stable prices and maximum employment.
Its inflation target is key because of how rate cuts are decided. Powell and other Fed officials have made it clear they won’t start lowering the benchmark rate from its 22-year high until they are confident inflation is moving down “sustainably” to 2%.
And Powell strongly signaled this week that the 2% inflation target isn’t going anywhere. He mentioned it seven different times within the span of his five-minute-long opening remarks before lawmakers on both Wednesday and Thursday.
He also acknowledged its Kiwi origins in response to Sherman’s questioning but added that “2% has become the global standard, it’s a pretty durable standard.” He reinforced his belief that it wouldn’t be a problem for the US to achieve the 2% level in the months ahead.
“People are always talking about this,” said Preston Mui, who is with a labor market-focused group called Employ America. Changing the target by moving it even higher to 3% “is probably not something that’s politically in the cards for the Fed at all right now.”
But talking about the number has nonetheless “caused a lot of headaches for Powell over the last two to three years,” Mui added.
How the Fed got here
The path to the Fed’s 2% inflation target was a winding one that began with an interview that is now infamous in central banking circles.
Don Brash, who was governor of New Zealand’s Reserve Bank, offered an off-the-cuff comment in 1988 that he wanted an inflation rate between 0 and 1%. That set off a policy-making process and led his nation to adopt a formal 2% target soon thereafter.
Other central banks followed and the moves were criticized from some quarters as being too inflation-focused.
Perhaps the most colorful takedown came from Mervyn King, a British economist who served as governor of the Bank of England. He said in 1997 that he worried a hyper-focus on price targets would lead to central bankers becoming “inflation nutters.”

The Federal Reserve, under Alan Greenspan at the time, was resistant to a public embrace of the idea but debated it throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.
“If you read FOMC transcripts around inflation targeting it’s a concern,” said Federal Reserve historian Sarah Binder of political considerations in a recent interview.
There was resistance to implementing it during a 2008 downturn, with Ben Bernanke in charge. There was concern among Fed governors that “we’ve got to be worried about pushback from Democrats,” Binder said.
But by 2012, with a recession in the rearview mirror and Bernanke in his second term as chair, the Fed pivoted and a 2% target was publicly adopted.
Bernanke argued in his memoir that a 2% target increases business and consumer confidence and therefore gives the bank more flexibility to address both sides of its dual mandate.
It’s an argument that is still used today, with an explainer on the Fed’s website saying the 2% target “is most consistent with the Federal Reserve’s mandate for maximum employment and price stability.”
But many on the left were never fully on board. Bernanke acknowledged in his memoir that a main liberal voice of that era — Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts — brought up the lack of parallel labor market target and “wasn’t completely comfortable” with the policy even if he went along with it in the end.
Rakeen Mabud, the chief economist at the left-leaning group Groundwork Collaborative, put a finer point on it, saying the target “codifies the fact that inflation is just more important to the Fed than unemployment is.”
The ongoing critique is further contextualized by a 2020 move at the Fed to adopt a flexible average inflation targeting framework. In effect, the change made 2% into a less rigid target by allowing the Fed to look at 2% as an average and allows inflation to run slightly hotter for stretches.
The policy will be under review, Powell said this week, beginning later this year and through the end of 2025.
Why it won’t be so easy to change
The 2% target could grow as an issue in the months ahead, with many Democrats continuing to call for rate cuts even as forecasts have dropped throughout the early months of 2024. Some in the financial world are even predicting zero cuts all year.
“Interest rates are too damn high,” Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts told Powell.
Another issue for the left is that simply adding a corollary target focused on the unemployment rate — which ticked up to 3.9% in the February jobs report — is not necessarily as easy as it might sound.
Mui, the senior economist at Employ America, said his group is focused on more nuanced measures like the prime age employment rate — the number of younger people working against their overall population — or wage growth or quit rates or overall labor force participation.
“I think if there was this rigid commitment to defining an unemployment target, there’s actually a risk [in some scenarios] that it actually doesn’t pay enough attention to that side of their mandate,” he says.

MINNEAPOLIS — Two Texas men are accused of stealing nearly $20,000 worth of calculators from several Twin Cities Target stores in a single day last month.
The Washington County Attorney’s Office says Dallas residents Antonio Griffin Jr., 30, and Zachary Charles Fininen, 23, are charged with one count each of felony organized retail theft.
The criminal complaint states an asset protection employee at the Target in Woodbury spotted the men “taking calculators from a rack and placing them in an empty cooler” on Feb. 21 before they left the store without buying anything.
The men were arrested outside, and officers recovered more than $5,500 worth of calculators from their rolling cooler.

Police soon discovered the men had been at the same store earlier in the day, allegedly stealing nearly $2,000 in calculators in that visit.
Further investigation found the men are also suspected of stealing calculators from six other metro Target stores on the same day, with a total retail value of about $11,000:
An investigator for Target told police they believe Griffin and Fininen are part of “a larger calculator theft ring in the Dallas, Texas area” responsible for more than $250,000 worth of recovered and stolen merchandise.
Both men posted bail on Feb. 23, despite a request from prosecutors that the bail be set at a larger amount because they “have committed crimes in multiple jurisdictions and have addresses in Texas.”
Fininen has a virtual hearing next week, while Griffin returns to court in April.
Both men face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

It’s official: notorious alt-right troll Ethan Schmidt-Crockett has been to jail, albeit briefly.
Schmidt-Crockett was released from jail Wednesday in Mesa after police arrested him and held him for five days.
The Mesa Police Department told Phoenix New Times that Schmidt-Crockett was arrested on Saturday for allegedly violating his probation and failing to comply with orders from the municipal court. The probation dates to a May 2021 case in which Schmidt-Crockett harassed employees at a Mesa wig store that caters to people with cancer.
In January 2022, Sunny’s Hair and Wigs got a restraining order against Schmidt-Crockett, which he violated it the next day. In March 2023, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of interfering with judicial proceedings. A judge sentenced him to three years of probation and a suspended sentence of 60 days in jail.
In January, authorities moved to revoke his probation and Schmidt-Crockett skipped a hearing on Feb. 15, according to court documents. Also in January, Scottsdale authorities issued an arrest warrant for him in a separate case.
On Saturday, he was arrested. In a written statement to Phoenix New Times, Schmidt-Crockett said he was arrested at the Arizona State Capitol, where he said he was “patrolling” his “territory for any signs of enemy intrusion” and “holding down the lay lines for the unvaccinated AntiMask hero’s of Arizona.”
On Wednesday, after five days in jail, Judge Umayok Novell told Schmidt-Crockett during a court hearing that he’s on probation until April 28, 2026. Returning to Sunny’s Hair and violating his probation would lead to him serving the remainder of his 2023 sentence — now 55 days — in jail, the judge said.
Schmidt-Crockett said in a video posted Thursday to social media that he was “tortured for five days” during his stay in jail.
Schmidt-Crockett also told New Times that “jail was dope” and he “met some great contacts.”
Ethan Schmidt-Crockett appeared in Mesa Municipal Court on Wednesday for violating the probation he received in 2023.

Ethan Schmidt-Crockett’s history of hateful antics
Schmidt-Crockett has a well-documented history with law enforcement and courts, most of it from engaging in alt-right antics and hateful crusades across the Valley targeting LGBTQ+ and Jewish people.
In June 2021, Schmidt-Crockett pleaded guilty to an extreme DUI charge, according to Chandler Municipal Court. A few months later, in November 2021, he was caught allegedly driving with a suspended driver’s license around the Arizona Grand Resort & Spa in Phoenix. He was charged by a Phoenix court with driving without a license, but the charges were dropped 12 days later.
In August 2021, Schmidt-Crockett was confronted by police after he harassed customers at FnB in Scottsdale. The farm-to-table restaurant required patrons to provide proof of a coronavirus vaccination at the time. He pleaded guilty to a criminal trespass charge in December 2021 and was sentenced to 11 months of unsupervised probation and 15 hours of community service. He was also ordered to pay fines.
“These are historical shoes,” he said last June. “They need to be in a museum.”
More recently, Schmidt-Crockett set his sights on targeting synagogues in antisemitic stunts. In August 2022, Schmidt-Crockett posted a video of himself saying, “We’re gonna be going hunting for the Jews.”
He entered a plea deal in Scottsdale on Oct. 26 for trespassing in June at synagogue Congregation Beth Tefillah, where he filmed himself harassing staff.
The terms of the plea deal were 11 months of unsupervised probation, the successful completion of an anger management class and payment of more than $600 in fines and court fees, according to court records. If Schmidt-Crockett does not complete probation, he will be ordered to serve 30 days in jail.
According to court records, an arrest warrant for Schmidt-Crockett was issued on Jan. 2 after he apparently violated the plea deal. On Jan. 30, he was charged with failing to pay court fees. He’s due in Scottsdale Municipal Court on April 5 for a probation violation hearing.
Target is upping the ante in the competition against retail giants Amazon and Walmart with the introduction of a new premium membership tier called Circle 360.
Set to launch on April 7, this paid service promises unlimited same-day delivery, leveraging Target’s Shipt service to establish a strong presence in the same-day delivery market. Target’s CEO, Brian Cornell, revealed that Circle 360 aims to enhance the recognition of Target’s same-day delivery capabilities.
Boasting over 100 million members, the existing Circle program, launched in 2019, has seen members visit more frequently and spend significantly more compared to non-Circle shoppers.
With an initial promotional price of $49 for the first year, the Circle 360 membership offers the convenience of one-hour delivery at no additional cost or markups, along with access to Shipt’s diverse marketplace featuring various retail brands.
Sylvester also said members could grab “everything from groceries to household essentials to the newest must-have item with no additional fees, no markups, and support from our preferred shoppers.” Same-day delivery from Target is currently two hours or less and requires either a $99 membership with Shipt (for orders over $35) or a $9.99 fee on eligible orders.
She said the $49 price would continue for cardholders of the Target-branded credit, debit, and reloadable Red Cards after the promotional period has ended.
Check out more details below about the three new Target Circle membership options that build on each other.

(FOX40.COM) — A man pulled a loaded gun on an officer during the process of being arrested for retail theft at Target, according to the West Sacramento Police Department.
Earlier this week, officials said that Target Assets Protection contacted the West Sacramento Police Department (WSPD) about a shoplifter and an accomplice who was in the store “concealing merchandise” in a bag.
Upon arrival, officers said that one person suspected of retail theft exited the store and attempted to hide in the grass on the Clarksburg Trail. He was arrested and taken into custody.
A separate WSPD officer entered the Target store to contact the accomplice who was reportedly seated in the Asset Protection office. When the officer attempted to handcuff the accomplice, he allegedly began to fight the officer. During the altercation, police said the suspect removed a loaded Glock handgun from his backpack which was later confirmed to be stolen.
The suspect dropped the gun during the fight, and a Target Assets Protection team member kicked the gun out of the way, according to police. The officer eventually handcuffed the suspect.

All of my favorite grocery stores (Costco, Aldi, and Target) have one thing in common: Food isn’t the only thing for sale. While it’s part of my job to grocery shop, checking off all of my errands in one stop really is a nice perk.
After picking up a new waffle maker, a birthday gift for an 8-year-old, and shampoo, I made room in my cart for the week’s groceries. At Target, I always check out the Good & Gather items (one of Target’s private labels and a brand that I’ve loved for years). The quality is top-notch for staples like these frozen stir-fry vegetables, frozen appetizers to serve at parties, and other fun foods that spark my culinary creativity.
Here are three new (or new-to-me) dinner finds from Target. Bonus: They’re all less than $5 each.
1. Good & Gather Four Cheese Gnocchi
I’d blame my kids for the fact that we eat pasta and cheese once a week, but the truth is, I love it too. Target’s Good & Gather Four Cheese Gnocchi is everything we love about cheesy pasta — upgraded. Tender pillows of gnocchi and a cheese sauce made from Asiago, mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, and Grana Padano cook in 10 minutes or less. Serve this imported Italian side dish with pan-seared salmon, quick-cooking shrimp, or simple baked chicken thighs.
2. Good & Gather Steam-in-Bag Grain & Roasted Vegetable Blend
This bulgur and roasted vegetable side dish is a lifesaver on nights when I have mere minutes to prep dinner. The bulgur is light and tender with generously sized bites of roasted zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, bell peppers, and onion studded throughout. The dish relies on the flavors of the grain and veggies, so it’s versatile to pair with a variety of proteins. The 12-ounce bag feeds the two adults and two young kids of my family just fine, but if there are bigger appetites at your table, pick up a second bag. At less than $3 a bag, it’s still a great deal!
A spoonful from this little jar makes even the simplest bowl of pasta taste magical. How they pack so much flavor into this spread is a mystery, but one I’m happy to keep tasting until it’s solved. The basil, garlic, and tomato paste give the spread a familiar Italian vibe, but it’s unlike any other sauce I’ve tried, thanks to the addition of Calabrian chiles. Don’t worry — the sauce isn’t too spicy. The chiles add just the right amount of balanced heat for stirring into pastas and soups, or adding as a spread for sandwiches, spooning over eggs, and seasoning salmon.

With spring cleaning underway, sometimes all you need to feel refreshed in your space is replacing a few of those old items with some new and improved pieces. Whether it’s some new storage containers, a sleek wooden candle, or adding a new appliance to your collection that will make cooking simpler, a few upgrades may give you that inspiration you need in the kitchen. And let’s face it, we all need some extra motivation every once in a while.
Target always has some great home decor and kitchenware finds with inexpensive price tags, especially at their Bullseye Playground (formerly known as the Target Dollar Spot). The section, typically found at the front of the store, features curated seasonal products for under $5.
Fans of the store have taken to social media to share their favorite finds, including Instagram account @targetiseverything, who just shared some new products to add to your kitchen stash. However, we’re particularly intrigued by the newest measuring cups, retailing in both clear and pink. With their unique shape that’s wider on the bottom and narrower on the top, the cups feature a rim that is reminiscent of a mason jar, making the design a special addition to your kitchenware.
Users were excited to see if they could find the cup for themselves and were raving about the new release. “I need that measuring cup In my life,” wrote one commenter.
Unfortunately, as with all Bullseye Playground items, they are unavailable online so you’ll have to head over to your local Target to find them. However, if you do see them and are thinking of adding them to your cart, you may want to do that soon — these will be gone before you know it.

One of the best parts about spring are all the candies lining retailer shelves: jelly beans! Cadbury Creme Eggs! Peeps! It’s no secret that Target is full of sweet treats and lucky for us, they just released a few Easter candies, including a restock of a fan-favorite from last year. (Curious what The Kitchn editors’ favorite Easter candies are? We got you.)
Spotted by Instagrammer @targetchaos, Spring Bunny Paws Marshmallows are back on the shelves for another season. The adorable white marshmallows are shaped like a rabbit’s foot, complete with a pink paw print that taste just as good as they look. The brand, Favorite Day, is known for its gourmet, decadent, and indulgent desserts using high-quality ingredients so you know you’re only getting the best of the best.
Perfect for snacking just on their own, the sugary treat would be a great addition to an Easter charcuterie brunch board alongside fruits, waffles, and deviled eggs, or floating in a mug of steaming hot chocolate, of course. Plus, the kids in your life will get a kick out of the designs. (But let’s face it: The adults in your life will, too.)
“Fun basket filler, a new favorite must-have,” wrote one user.
“My 3 year old loved these!” said another reviewer.
Each four-count package is retailing for $4, which you can grab at both your local Target and online. Target is also selling a few more adorable favorites from Favorite Day like gummy candies shaped like carrots, grass, and sunny-side up eggs in flavors like organic green apple and vanilla. These would make for a thoughtful springtime gift that are almost too cute to eat — almost! (Although, we certainly wouldn’t blame you if you bought a few bags to enjoy for yourself.) They are only available for a limited time, so you may want to stock up before they’re gone.

It’s almost springtime hosting season (we’re counting down the days TBH) and while there’s still another month left of winter, preparing for the warm weather picnics, Mother’s Day brunches, and dinners al fresco certainly make the cold air a little bit more bearable. Some of our favorite retailers, including Target, have been lining their shelves with stunning spring decor finds that will bring that festive warm weather feeling we’re all craving right now into your home.
Spotted by the popular Instagrammer @targetiseverything, Target is currently selling beautiful light pink glass goblets for — get this — only $4 each. (If you watch the reel, she says that these are retailing for $5 a piece, but then later corrected herself after the glass was listed online for $4.)
Each glass is 7.5 ounces and can hold both hot and cold beverages. Sure to add a touch of elegance to any dinner party, these can be filled with your favorite wine, mocktail, or even just water. Your guests will have their pinkies up all evening long!
People commenting on the post are loving thos find, calling the glasses “so pretty,” “so cute,” and “gorgeous.” Not to mention, they are safe for the dishwasher, so cleanup will be a breeze. (Do note that the Target website advises buyers not to put these in the microwave though.)
As with all seasonal decor items at Target, these likely won’t be around for long so you may want to grab a set of four while you can. And if you can’t find these in your local Target or the glasses sell out online, Amazon is selling similar pink goblets in a package of four for $48.99. While the price point is a bit higher, the glasses are hand-crafted and will certainly become a hosting staple if you’re able to make the investment.
If you weren’t excited for springtime hosting yet, you’re about to be.
