Front of Target store

Target will be hosting some store events in 2026! Lots of them have already occurred, and fair warning – many readers have commented that events advertised as being at all Target locations have not come to pass.

I strongly recommend if you see an event you are interested in attending that you call your store to verify. 

I will be updating this post as new events are announced and others are expired, so be sure to check back here or on Facebook for updated information!

UPCOMING TARGET STORE EVENTS

Saturdays and Sundays from June 6 through July 18 select stores will be hosting a Summer Goals Tour. From 10am to 5pm you can step into an interactive soccer experience with games, giveaways and FREE samples from Chobani, LEGO, Dove and Liquid I.V.

The current schedule is as follows

Saturday 7/18 Clifton, NJ
(30 Kingsland Rd store)

 

 


On July 18th most stores will be handing out FREE water bottle stickers plus you can shop the new Owala drops!

Select stores will be hosting a Melissa & Doug event where for $5 you can create your own toy ice cream cone to take home. Currently, Target is only showing 4 stores as participating:

8225 Flying Cloud Dr
Eden Prairie, MN 55344-5315

7 Stony Hill Rd
Bethel, CT 06801-1030

3535 S La Cienega Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90016-4407

4191 The Circle at North Hills St
Raleigh, NC 27609-5712

From noon to 4 pm on Sunday, July 26th, select stores will be hosting an e.l.f. event. Shoppers can try the new Hair Gloss Mode treatment and discover products of hydrating, styling and frizz control. You can check to see if your store is participating here.

I would recommend calling your store in advance as sometimes events advertised at being at all stores do not occur.

If you are traveling or not sure which Target stores are close by, you can find Target store locations near your current location or travel destination.

I’m excited to share my LamaTama Toy review.  This mystical fortune telling toy is all over social media, and selling out super fast online. The good news is, this electronic fortune teller is launching at Target THIS month!

Psst: some Target shoppers are reporting seeing these little viral sensations on shelves already … let us know if you spot them! And, you might want to grab them if you do see them, apparently they are flying off the shelves!!

About the LamaTama  Electronic Fortune Teller Toy

The LamaTama is such a fun way to make light decisions. Just ask your question and the interactive LamaTama will either move it’s head up and down for yes, or side to side for no.

Around here, we often debate about what we should have for dinner. Now, we can ask LamaTama – should we have tacos? (The answer better be yes!) 

There’s a reason why this expressive fortune teller has sold out on the TikTok Shop, it’s the ideal mix of trends – collectible, interactive and highly shareable.

The LamaTama Blind Box

Each one comes in a sealed package, meaning half the fun is discovering which character you get when you open it up. Currently, there are 24 characters across two series. Hundreds of more are planned, making it a strong contender for 2026 trending toys and a must-watch for collectors.

My LamaTama Toy Review 

I am fascinated by the LamaTama mystical electronic fortune teller toy. It’s so expressive and super cute.

What I really love is that it is so portable! Small enough to clip to a backpack or purse, or even a beach bag this summer – so you can always keep in handy. No matter where you are, you can be entertained by asking questions of this expressive and surprisingly personal fortune teller.

If you are a collector, fan of delightful toys or just want to make silly decisions in a fun manner, you will want to keep an eye out for the LamaTama at Target. As quickly as it sold out online, it will most likely fly off the shelves at Target once it hits.

We LOVE teachers and so does Target! Through this Saturday, May 9th, Target is offering a nice teacher discount of an EXTRA 10% off in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week.

To qualify, you must be a teacher, staff member or faculty member employed by K-12 schools, colleges, or universities here in the U.S.A. OR, a teacher at a daycare center, early childhood learning center or a home school teacher. Note that homeschool teachers might need to provide extra documentation.

School staff and administrators as well as college faculty are also eligible for this Circle Offer!

Once you’ve completed the form and are ready to shop, you will need to save this exclusive teacher Target Circle offer, just keep in mind it has a one-time use. 

It encompasses lots of products including pens, pencils, crayons and additional classroom supplies & organization and more! Be sure and check the details when you get your Circle to be aware of any exclusions. Typically there are quite a few.

Keep in mind this discount is on top of existing sale prices, so be sure and check for sales.

The teacher Target Circle offer has a one-time use though, so you will want to make sure you plan your shopping trip ahead of time. You can also check the current Target ad scan to check out advertised deals.

If your child has outgrown their car seat or you’re just looking to upgrade, you may want to take part in the Target Car Seat Trade-in Event from 4/19 – 5/2!

Starting Sunday the 19th and going thru Saturday, May 2nd, you can bring your used car seat to Target stores nationwide and trade it in. In return, you will get a coupon for 20% off any car seat, booster seat, base, travel system, stroller or select baby gear items in stores or at Target.com, valid thru May 16th.

Target teams up with recycling partners to make sure all the car seats they collect get upcycled into new products. You can read more about the trade-in program HERE.

Drop off boxes will be located at Target stores near Guest Services. Once you have dropped off your old one, you will need to scan the code found on signs next to the drop off boxes into your Target app to get your 20% off coupon on Circle.

Plus, Target has select car seats that will be on sale starting Sunday that can get you an even bigger discount. There are so several styles to choose from, just keep in mind when shopping online some sales may not show up until you get to checkout.

If you are in the market for a stroller, select ones will also be on sale too! You can also check out next week’s Target ad scan to see featured baby gear on sale that your trade-in coupon will be valid on to save even more.

So be sure and take part of the Target Car Seat Trade-in event if you need a new car seat or stroller.
