Surely, you’ve heard about streaming services, it is 2018, after all. Netflix pretty much put our beloved childhood home, Blockbuster, out of business. Hulu isn’t doing too bad. But those aren’t the only online streaming services. Nowadays, it feels like there are so many opportunities to watch our favorite movies and televisions shows without needing a cable subscription at all.

Are you tired of Christmas shopping already? It is only the first day of December, but the race to get the best holiday gifts is already on. Every time we talk to our friends, we feel like we’re behind on our shopping. Well, thanks to Target, we’re going to be able to catch up on our Christmas shopping – all in one day! You might recall from last year, Target had a sale on gift cards. No, not every gift card sold at the checkout line, just Target gift cards.

We’ve already spent the better half of 2018 without any new episodes of “Fixer Upper.” The final episode aired all the way back in April and that is a long time to go without a fix of Chip and Joanna Gaines. Thankfully, they’ve been busy with their other projects, like their Hearth & Hand line at Target, and Joanna’s books. If you’re one of the many fans who vacation in Waco, Texas, you can get a little “Fixer Upper” treat.

Traveling can be very exciting, especially if you’re going on vacation and get to enjoy some time off. However, as much fun as it is to get to your destination, the time between leaving your house and arriving can be a pain in the butt. You can’t just walk out the front door at a moment’s notice for a trip, especially if you’re boarding an airplane. There is a lot that goes into it.

A perfect Christmas gift! But who is it really for – you or them?

Flying on an airplane is certainly one of the greatest modern inventions – but why is it such a hassle? You have to stop what you’re doing to check into your flight 24 hours before departure. If you don’t check in right away, you’re in the last boarding group, which means your carry on might be bumped. You need to get to the airport at least two hours before your flight time, so you can either sit around and do nothing or get trapped in an awful security line.

We’re at that point in the year where November is about to blur into December. As we get closer to the end of the year, that almost means that the weather is dropping left and right. It feels like just a day ago it was 70 degrees and sunny, then the next day the tristate area is getting snow so bad, many people hadcommute times home that dragged onto almost 12 hours. As the weather continues to get colder, people are scrambling to find good, quality winter coats.

Black Friday is still five days away, but that doesn’t mean you can’t score major deals right now. Between early Black Friday sales, actual deals on Black Friday, and then Cyber Monday extended deals, the last two weeks of November are full of amazing savings. Sometimes, you can’t even determine which deal is best until the next deal becomes available. Thankfully, West Elm already has early Black Friday deals.

Thank you for being a friend! Can you believe that “Golden Girls” went off the air 26 years ago? Thanks to Nick @ Nite and TV Land, “Golden Girls” has become beloved by many generations. Betty White continues to be one of the cutest women in the world and is now a national treasure. So, it should come as no surprise that people are still obsessed with “Golden Girls” all these years later.

It is almost time to stuff our faces with turkey, green beans, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and more on Thanksgiving. And you know what that means? Black Friday is just days away! The biggest shopping day of the year is jam-packed with countless deals and steals. Even though you can snag Black Friday deals online, sometimes, to get the best deals, shoppers need to leave their comfy couches and push through crowds to get deals in stores. One retailer has a huge giveaway planned.

Happy Christmas Harry! Well, more like Happy November thanks to LEGO. Right now, LEGO is running a promotion that will make your Christmas shopping extra magical. Remember when earlier this year LEGO released a 6,020-piece Hogwarts castle? Well, LEGO is back with another incredible Harry Potter product. If you buy a Harry Potter LEGO set, you can get the Diagon Alley set for free during the month of November.

There are a few things that you can hear and smell that will transport you right back to your childhood. The sound of a slap bracelet hitting skin. Your 5th-grade classroom had a weird smell that you’ll never forget. Your friends were all fighting over who had a cooler Lisa Frank notebook, while you were busy applying your favorite Lip Smacker.

What is the appeal of the window seat on an airplane? Maybe you want to get a view of the sky as you travel, or perhaps you just don’t want to get stuck in the middle seat. It seems like everyone fights for the window seat, rather than the aisle seat, and the person last to the fight gets stuck sitting in the middle. Well, if you love the window seat for the view, a new type of airplane is currently being brainstormed.

Growing up, did you dream of becoming a princess? Maybe you longed to be a mermaid like Ariel or you wanted to live in a castle with a huge library like Belle. Or maybe you didn’t idolize the traditional princesses, and instead, you loved Mulan and Pocahontas. Whoever your favorite Disney princess was, you probably spent hours playing dress up pretending to be them. Many of us did!

It might only be November, but everyone knows that the Christmas season is officially upon us. As the holiday approaches fast, everyone is making their list and checking it twice. If you have a Harry Potter lover in your life, you’re going to want to run to Target ASAP. Santa really delivered this year! You might remember from last year, Target rolled out a Harry Potter sock Advent calendar. That’s right, you get a pair of socks for multiple days of Advent.

It is November and you know what that means… it is time for Christmas! At least, that is what retailers think. Many major retailers actually start selling Christmas decor before October is even over. It is a huge competition to see who can sell the most merchandise before the end of the year. However, it isn’t just retailers. Many people begin celebrating the Christmas season as soon as Halloween is over, while others at least wait until Thanksgiving has come and gone.

Somehow winter snuck up on us and it is now getting colder every day. The sun is setting earlier and it looks like it is midnight when it is really only 7 P.M. Most days when it is dark out early and the temperature is in the 40s, the only thing we want to do is curl up on the couch and watch Netflix. Isn’t it just a little uncomfortable to wear a sweatshirt under a blanket on the couch? The hood pulls on your neck and you can’t always get comfy.

Tis’ the season to give presents! Basically, all of November and December is spent purchasing gifts for our loved ones. It is exhausting finding the perfect gift for the people in your life because you want to show them how much you care. Did you know that people in the U.S. on average spend over $900 on holiday gifts, according to the American Research Group?

Have you ever been asked, “where are you from?” And your first instinct was to tell someone your childhood hometown, even though you knew they meant, “what ethnicity are you?” Maybe your parents have passed down stories for years about how your grandparents or great-grandparents grew up in Italy and traveled here for the American Dream. Or maybe your parents didn’t really know what their own parents and grandparents got up to before they were born.

Have you ever gone shopping and forgotten the one real item you went to the store for in the first place? Obviously, it happens to all of us. Even when you write down a list of “must get” items, you always manage to forget one thing. Maybe you didn’t actually check the cabinets before leaving, or it just totally slipped your mind when you put your pen to paper. Whatever happened, we’ve been there, and it stinks.

We all might think we’re big Disney lovers, but just how much do you love the world’s most famous mouse? Since Walt Disney began his empire, it has come a very long way and there’s been a whole cast of characters on the road. There are some Disney fans that are so dedicated to their love of all things Disney, they will even try to transform their homes into tiny replicas of Disney World – since we can’t really live inside the park.

How many times have you told yourself that your dog had no concept of time? It sure seems like they don’t. You can leave the house for five minutes or five hours and your dog will have virtually the same exact reaction. Their tail will be wagging so hard it looks like it might just fall off. They might bark a little and jump up and down–all because they missed you! Well, if you thought your dog had no idea what time it was, you were wrong.

Now that the cold weather has begun to settle in, it is time to pull your sweaters and coats out of your winter storage bins. Along with clothes to bundle up with, it is time to get our fuzzy socks out and find our favorite pair of slippers. Nothing is more annoying than trying to get things done around the house but your feet are freezing. Socks don’t always do the job, no matter how fuzzy they are.

One of the saddest goodbyes we had in 2018 was when “Fixer Upper” ended. It was tough saying goodbye to Chip and Joanna Gaines flipping houses in Waco, Texas. But thankfully, Chip and Jo aren’t far. While they took the time to focus on their family, including new baby Crew, they’ve also been focusing on new projects, like their Hearth & Hand line at Target. If you’ve loved everything so far in the collection, you’re going to flip over the new additions.

Are you obsessed with your Amazon home products? It starts out with just a small Echo Dot, then somehow you have every Amazon Echo product there is. Every room you walk into, you can ask Alexa to change the lights or tell you the weather or turn on your Spotify. Well, now Amazon has a product that can drive everywhere with you. Meet the Echo Auto! It is one of Amazon’s newest Echo products and it is meant for your car. It comes with a lot of amazing features.

There is no greater feeling than reader “your package will arrive in 3 to 5 business days.” It is like buying yourself presents, without needing a reason! Online shopping is pretty addictive, but it is convenient. Does anyone really have the time to go to the mall and look for a dress to wear to a wedding? There’s more of a selection online anyway, so why not cut out the middleman?

Have you ever wanted to remodel your bathroom? You can get new tiles, a fancy mirror, chic decor, but at the end of the day, your toilet still is a toilet. It’s not your toilet’s fault that it is so unglamorous. It has a pretty dirty job and it never gets any thanks for doing it. If you’re tired of the boring old white toilet that is standard in just about every bathroom in America, it is time for an interesting upgrade.

Halloween is just over a week away and everyone is getting into the holiday spirit. People are spending their free time at orchards to pick apples and pumpkins. The fall candles have officially been lit. “Monster Mash” and “This Is Halloween” have been played at least once on everyone’s playlist. People aren’t the only ones who can get festive for Halloween. Cats can enjoy the holiday too! Thanks to Target, you can now purchase a haunted house for your cat.

Will ’90s kids ever let go of the ’90s? We’re nearly 20 years out from the popular decade, yet ’90s fashion trends continue to come back into style. Companies releasee ’90s themed product launches just about every week. Disney recently just put out an incredible memorabilia collection that looked like all your favorite ’90s Disney movies on VHS tape. Did you know that one of the most popular boy bands of all time has been releasing merchandise on the DL?

It is official, Amazon is the one-stop shop for literally all of our needs. You can buy clothing, books, accessories, toys, tiny houses, lifehacks, food, and wine on Amazon. Yup, you can order wine from Amazon and have it delivered to your house! Don’t you just hate when you run out of wine on a Friday, because you swore you had a full bottle, but it was really only an ⅛ full? Us too!

Sure, Halloween hasn’t even happened yet, and we’re still a month and a half away from Thanksgiving, but it is never too early to think about the holidays. To ring in the season (and then spend the rest of winter in comfort) you can now buy delightfully cheesy, Instagram-worthy matching pajamas from Target for the entire family—or friend group. (Even better, the roundup below starts with a Harry Potter theme.

Cat beds are so 2015. The new trend that every cat and cat parent will obsess over is cat cardboard houses. Yes, finally, someone realized that our cats only care about the box that their toys come inside of. Rather than buy your cat some fancy cat tree that might never use, you can instead buy a little cardboard house for your cat to become the master of. Thanks to CacaoPets, you can now give your cat exactly what they want.

You can officially live like Tom Hanks!

Honestly, who doesn’t love Chrissy Teigen? She is the honest Twitter queen that we all need in our lives. Not only is she funny, but she also keeps it very real and we all admire her for it. We’d all love to be her BFF, so she could make us laugh and feed us tasty food. Over the last few years, Chrissy has added a few more titles to her career, as a cook and an author. Now, she’s also on the retail market! She released two cookbooks, Cravings and Cravings: Hungry For More.

No matter what time of year it is, are your feet always cold? It can be 95 in the middle of summer, but you’ll be sitting at your desk with ice cold toes. The heat can be blasting in your office in the middle of January, but your feet are still freezing. Instead of wearing 4 pairs of socks (because who can get away with that), you might want to look into some other options! Not everyone can wear slippers at work. Even if you work from home, you might not want to wear them all day.

There are so many very famous houses in America and it seems like a lot of them are in Hollywood. All of the stars like to flock to the same areas. If one celeb stays at a hot new house, it seems like five other celebs stay there right after. The Beverly House is a legendary home that sits in Beverly Hills and has had some very famous people inside of its walls. The iconic Mediterranean Estate was once the home to William Randolph Hearst. It is also notably the honeymoon destination that John F.

Grab your pink shoes, pink dress, and hop in a pink Corvette so you can drive on over to this Barbie Dreamhouse! While it might not actually be Barbie’s Malibu beach house or her regular pink palace, this pink Victorian mansion is perfect for anyone who loves the color pink. You really need to like pink though if you’re giving to live in this pink and white house. In the Austin neighborhood of Chicago sits a famous pink and white Victorian mansion.

Do you have a dedicated towel that you use just for washing your face? Body towels just don’t get into the nooks and crannies of your face to wipe off excess makeup. That is why it really is best to have a towel that you use just for your face. If you don’t have one now, you’re going to want to buy one ASAP. And you can look like your pet in the process!

With Halloween right around the corner, it is officially okay to start thinking about Christmas. Don’t let anyone dampen your Christmas spirit! Honestly, it is smart to start your shopping early, that way you don’t drop $2,000 the first week of December. Not only should you think about presents, you’re also going to want to think of your Christmas decor. If you love decorating your Christmas tree, you might be a nostalgic person who has kept many ornaments from your childhood.

Who hasn’t wished they could travel to the magical world of Harry Potter? Ever since the first book was released in the late ’90s, we’ve all wished we could eat in the Great Hall and explore all of the secret passages inside of Hogwarts. For many years, that was just a dream that all of us muggles and no-majs had, but thanks to Universal, we’ve been given a magical ticket.

Move aside gingerbread Christmas houses!

It is just about every Harry Potter lovers dream to travel to the magical world. We all waited anxiously to get our Hogwarts letter in the mail, but sadly, it never came. For those of us who are the biggest Potterheads, we try to incorporate the wizarding world into our lives any way we can. We rewatch the movies, reread the books, share them with our loved ones, and find ways to celebrate Harry Potter all year long.

Did everyone go through a goth phase? Or was it just us? You might have told your parents and friends at the time that it “wasn’t a phase” but for most of us, it was. However, even if you don’t wear all black and channel your inner ’80s Winona Ryder every day, you still can love and appreciate the goth subculture. If you ever were goth or still are, you’re going to need to see Crate & Barrel’s Halloween decor.

Picture it, the year is 1999, you are settling down on the couch with your best friends with snacks and soda, getting ready to watch a DCOM. The movie of the week is Smart House, which is about a house that is so smart, it can do anything you want. It can even do your chores for you. It is the dream home (minus the minor meltdown the house has after some unplanned reprogramming). That might all seem like it could only ever be the premise of a movie, but smart homes are much closer than we think.

Beer lovers have been able to enjoy “shower beers” for years, but trying to drink wine in the shower is such a hassle. The ledge in the shower is always too wet and you can never put the glass down. If you do, then your wine will spill everywhere. And god forbid the glass shatters while you’re trying to just take a shower and enjoy a glass of Chardonnay.
