John Derian's home decor is iconic, and it's quite the investment – unless, of course, you buy it at Target. It might seem too good to be true, but the beloved decoupage artist has launched a range of pieces that start at just $15, and they're giving me so many Christmas table decor ideas. I'd say that the John Derian for Target tableware is the answer to a truly whimsical holiday season.

If you told me months ago I'd be coveting the joyful pieces such as the stoneware footed candy dish and a Christmas-themed stone salt and pepper set, I'm not sure I'd have believed you, but there's something about John Derian's unique style that makes me want to transform my Christmas table into a kitschy wonderland.

I shouldn't be surprised: I've been utterly obsessed with retro-inspired drops like Anthropologie's 'kitsch Christmas' holiday collection and Joanna Gaines' cabin kitsch tableware at Target. Yet as fun and nostalgic as John Derian's pieces seem, I love that they hail from timeless 18th- and 19th-century designs, with nature-inspired motifs and breathtaking jewel tones at the forefront.

Just take a look at the John Derian stoneware leaf platter, for example: it has a heritage feel, but it's also effortlessly on-trend. In fact, it reminds me of my favorite fruit and vegetable-themed pieces from H&M's 2025 fall tableware collection. And if I didn't already own a significant number of H&M's artichoke-shaped ornaments, I'd be adding John Derian's artichoke candle to my cart, too.

The stoneware leaf platter isn't the only tableware hero in the collection, however. The frosted coupe drinkware boasts the same pale green botanical design, while the red and cream leaf tablecloth is a more understated take on Derian's work, pairing perfectly with classic white dinnerware, red napkins, and twinkling gold accents.

Plus, it's difficult to do the cookie print cocktail glasses justice: think playful, cartoon-like motifs with a delightfully festive theme. Derian's signature illustrations really shine in pieces like these – and being able to save hundreds of dollars on his designs is something that I'm not taking for granted.

There’s something undeniably comforting about the smells of fall and winter – the warm spice of ginger and cinnamon, the woodsy richness of mahogany and pine, and the cozy sweetness of vanilla and santal. During this time of year, our homes become the center of gatherings, celebrations, and quiet nights spent indoors, making it more important than ever to create a welcoming, fragrant atmosphere. A home that smells nice not only sets the mood for guests but also elevates everyday moments, turning ordinary spaces into cozy, inviting retreats.

Studio McGee’s Threshold™ home fragrance collection at Target makes it effortless to infuse your home with the scents of the season while keeping interiors stylish. From woodsy, spice-laden candles to soothing fragrance refills, each piece is thoughtfully designed to complement modern décor and create the perfect seasonal ambiance.

A must-have for fall and winter is the Black Pepper and Mahogany 2-Wick Candle, which blends earthy, woodsy notes with a hint of spice, evoking cozy evenings by the fire. For the kitchen or living spaces, the Santal & Ginger Fragrance Refill adds a comforting aroma reminiscent of holiday baking and festive gatherings. Together, these fragrances create an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and inviting.

Katrina Harper-Lewis, Head of Living at Homes & Gardens, agrees: 'There’s nothing quite like walking into a home that smells as magical as it looks. I’ve always loved shopping Studio McGee for their beautiful, thoughtful designs, and their Target fragrance collection is no exception. Each scent instantly fills every room with cozy, festive warmth, creating the perfect atmosphere to celebrate the holidays.'

Beyond scent, these pieces are designed to look beautiful on display. Sleek glass jars, minimalist diffuser bottles, and the best-selling 3-Piece Ceramic House Set bring festive charm to shelves, mantels, and tabletops. Each ceramic house features cutout doors and windows to cast a soft, inviting glow with tealights, making them a guaranteed talking point you’ll want to bring out year after year. The 2-wick candles provide long-lasting warmth, while refill vials and diffusers make it easy to maintain a welcoming fragrance throughout the season.

Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner, celebrating Christmas with family, or enjoying quiet winter evenings at home, Threshold™ by Studio McGee transforms your space into a festive haven. By combining seasonal scents with beautiful, enduring design, this collection ensures your home feels cozy, celebratory, and irresistibly inviting from fall through the holidays.

There’s something undeniably comforting about decorating with the traditional festive palette of red, green, and white. These enduring hues evoke nostalgic memories of twinkling lights, cozy gatherings, and cherished family traditions. More than just sentimental, this timeless combination brings warmth, harmony, and elegance to the home – and the kitchen, as the heart of the house, is the perfect place to embrace it, setting the tone for your kitchen Christmas decor in 2025.

Decorating with this classic Christmas color scheme is a trend that continues to endure – and it’s easy to see why. Red symbolizes joy, love, and celebration, the very heart of the holidays, while green represents renewal and nature, grounding spaces with freshness and balance. White brings a touch of lightness and purity, softening the contrast for a clean, sophisticated finish. Together, they create a look that feels both festive and enduring, effortlessly bridging the gap between tradition and modern design.

Joanna Gaines’ Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia holiday collection at Target beautifully captures this spirit, bringing a sense of nostalgia and cozy charm to every corner of the kitchen. Her signature approach blends classic Christmas colors with rustic, thoughtful design, creating spaces that feel both celebratory and timeless – the kind of kitchen you can imagine filled with the scent of baking and the sound of family laughter.

A standout piece from the collection is the Signature Plaid Table Runner. Crafted from 100% cotton, its vibrant red and green plaid instantly brightens a kitchen or dining table, adding a touch of festive flair that feels effortlessly stylish. Soft yet durable, it perfectly balances practicality with the warmth of tradition – ideal for family breakfasts, seasonal entertaining, or simply elevating everyday meals.

Another must-have is the Plaid Holiday Mug. The moment you swap your regular cup for this cheerful design, the holiday spirit is instantly in full swing, making even a quiet morning coffee feel celebratory.

The collection is complemented by a host of coordinating pieces – from plaid napkins and table linens to vintage-inspired kitchen accessories – each designed to enhance the seasonal atmosphere. These thoughtful touches reflect Joanna’s signature style: inviting, elegant, and unmistakably cozy.

Together, this nostalgic color palette and Joanna Gaines’ beautifully crafted collection celebrate everything we love about the holidays – warmth, comfort, and timeless charm. In the kitchen, where memories are made and traditions come to life, red, green, and white create a festive setting that feels both classic and joyfully alive year after year.

For anyone looking to infuse their home with classic holiday charm, Joanna Gaines’ Target collection offers everything you need to celebrate the season in style. With its nostalgic color palette and timeless designs, it’s easy to create a festive setting that will be remembered for years to come.

Since the weather has turned and the nights are drawing in, we're at the time of year when I begin to daydream about packing up and spending my days in a snow-topped cabin in the woods. Although I've never managed to bring the fantasy to life, I can get at least halfway there by learning how to decorate every room for fall in the coziest possible way – and I'm currently taking inspiration from Joanna Gaines' new Hearth & Hand with Magnolia collection at Target.

Perhaps the best way to describe Joanna Gaines' latest Target drop is 'country cabin chic'. It's effortlessly stylish and ideal for fall: think plaid prints, brass tableware, and seasonal foliage, plus a few festive touches. (You can never have enough holiday mugs, after all.) And if you don't spend the colder months romanticizing life in hibernation, this collection could change your mind.

It goes without saying that I love to fill my home with seasonal decor, but that doesn't mean I'm not partial to more versatile pieces that will see me through from early fall right up to Christmas. Lazy autumnal decorating tips are the key, and I'm a firm believer that cozy accessories are the unsung hero of the season: classic patterns and rustic decor will work wonders.

It seems that Joanna Gaines shares my love of cozy decor, since her new Hearth & Hand with Magnolia collection is brimming with homely, retro-inspired pieces. The collection is subtly festive, utterly charming and quietly nostalgic – I just need to restrain myself from adding it all to my cart.

Ready to skip the subtly festive look and dive headfirst into Christmas decor? I don't blame you; I'm already obsessing over Magnolia's 2025 Christmas tableware.

The season of stews, pot roasts, and hearty dinners has arrived, and I must say I'm thrilled. Every day I'm grateful to my past self for investing in one of the best slow cookers; there's nothing better than filling my freezer with portions of casserole, soup, and stew for chilly evenings.

If you haven't yet experienced the joys that a slow cooker can bring, I've spotted a deal that's too good to miss. Head to Target and you'll find this rather handsome 6-quart ceramic Crock-Pot, which you can nab for just $38.99 as part of this week's Circle Deals. It's so gorgeous in fact, that I'm seriously considering replacing my relatively new one.

A Crock-Pot is a true countertop hero, and this one is full of handy features. Aside from its gorgeous burgundy hue (which, admittedly, is what first caught my eye), this particular model boasts four presets which allow you to adjust both temperatures and timings. I've been busy collecting slow cooker ideas for fall batch cooking, but even my most beloved recipes would be nothing without a versatile slow cooker like Target's 6-quart ceramic Crock-Pot.

Of course, Crock-Pots aren't just for everyday meal prep, and I can always count on a slow cooker dish to impress when I'm cooking for a crowd. This is where those extra features come in particularly handy, and I was excited to see that Target's 6-quart ceramic Crock-Pot offers an auto-warming function – meaning there's no danger of my casserole going cold before it gets to the table.

I'll be getting plenty of use out of my Crock-Pot ahead of fall parties and Thanksgiving gatherings, but Target's 6-quart ceramic Crock-Pot has reminded me that slow cookers are also ideal if you plan to host a potluck dinner. The Crock-Pot itself comes with a travel-proof locking lid that enables you to transport food without fear of spillages, and you can even pop the ceramic bowl in the oven if you fancy crisping up the contents before serving.

As an avid host, both of these features struck me as especially useful, and I know they'd be appreciated by any home cook (although even the biggest foodies in my life would have just as much to say about how gorgeous this Crock-Pot looks).

Put it this way: I'm devoted to my slow cooker, but I'm also seriously tempted to nab this 6-quart ceramic Crock-Pot at Target before the Circle Week sales wrap up.

I love to host, but every October I find myself trying to outdo last year’s setup. The challenge? Showcasing even better Halloween decorating ideas without breaking the bank. Luckily, the Threshold Halloween collection at Target is about to become my secret weapon.

Besides, Target's Threshold Halloween collection encapsulates everything I love most about the spooky season, even if I am a fan of decorating for every holiday. Think Gothic-inspired elements (like this striking floral Halloween arrangement) and dazzling gold accents (I love this vintage-style cocktail serving tray) – plus a handful of pumpkins, of course. Check out my top picks below.

Brown has firmly reclaimed its place at the top of interior design trends for fall 2025, and Joanna Gaines’ latest Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia collection at Target perfectly captures the shift. Moving beyond the muted neutrals and cooler greys that have dominated for years, warm, earthy tones are now being embraced for their ability to create inviting, grounded spaces.

Decorating with brown, in particular, has become the color trend of choice for those looking to inject richness and depth into their home, combining timeless elegance with a cozy, approachable aesthetic.

Joanna Gaines’ brown-tinted glassware is a standout example of this trend. Each piece, from 12-ounce coupe glasses to 20-ounce wine glasses, features delicate ribbed or fluted detailing that adds texture and visual interest, catching the light in just the right way. The warm amber hues evoke a sense of nostalgia while feeling entirely contemporary, making them perfect for elevating everyday meals or hosting intimate seasonal gatherings.

What makes this collection so appealing is its versatility. These glasses aren’t just beautiful – they’re functional, ideal for serving cocktails, water, juice, or wine, and they pair effortlessly with both casual and more formal table settings. The brown tones harmonize beautifully with autumnal textiles, stoneware, and natural elements like wood and dried foliage, helping create tablescapes that feel both stylish and approachable.

In a year when textured, earthy materials and warm colors are dominating interiors, these brown glass pieces stand out as a subtle yet striking way to embrace the season. They encapsulate Joanna Gaines’ signature approach: combining everyday practicality with elevated, design-forward details that make hosting feel effortless.

For anyone looking to bring warmth, sophistication, and a touch of vintage-inspired charm to their home this fall, these glasses are a must-have addition.

While the brown glassware steals the spotlight, Joanna Gaines’ fall collection is full of other brown-colored fall table decor pieces that have completely captured our hearts. Here are my favorite finds.

The curvaceous scallop trend has been steadily moving into the heart of the home, and nowhere does it feel more at ease than in the kitchen.

Curves in interior design are nothing new, but those gentle, undulating edges once reserved for lampshades and mirrors are now appearing on dinnerware, placemats, glassware, and serving pieces, bringing a nostalgic yet refined softness to the table

Even large-scale collaborations are embracing the look. Joanna Gaines’s Hearth & Hand with Magnolia collection at Target has introduced scallop-inspired designs, from ribbed glassware to gently curved accents, bringing this detail into everyday homes with ease.

It’s a reminder that scallops, though rooted in timeless design, feel as elevated at a designer dining table as they do woven into everyday family meals – a detail that makes them the defining interior design trend of the moment.

Scalloped dinner plates or bowls bring an instant touch of charm to the table, transforming even the simplest meal into something that feels celebratory. Part of their magic is in their versatility: in soft neutrals they slip effortlessly into pared-back, minimalist décor, while in bolder tones or on a larger scale they create a striking statement that feels both cheerful and inviting.

‘Scallops are one of the easiest ways to add character to a space, and they’re especially effective in softening the look of a kitchen,’ says Hebe Hatton, Head of Interiors at Homes & Gardens. ‘In my view, scalloped edges bring instant charm and elegance to the kitchen and dining room, turning even the most practical pieces into style statements.’

In a modern kitchen, scallops lend softness to the hard lines of cabinets, counters, and shelving; at the table, they strike a balance between ease and occasion, elevating a casual meal as easily as they complement a more formal gathering.

Far from a passing fad, scallops carry the sense of a rediscovered classic – timeless, playful, and refined. Whether appearing on dinnerware, traced along the edge of a placemat, or styled as a decorative accent, these gentle curves add warmth, movement, and personality, reminding us that the kitchen can be as beautifully dressed as it is functional.

As fall settles in, there is no better time to bring the season’s warmth and natural beauty into the home, and one of the most effortless ways to do so is by learning how to arrange flowers to capture the rich colors and textures of autumn.

Joanna Gaines’ Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia collection at Target offers faux floral arrangements that feel effortlessly seasonal yet timeless. Crafted with rich, natural hues and meticulous attention to detail, they show how decorating with flowers can capture the essence of fall in a way that is both elegant and enduring.

Placed as a centerpiece for fall table decor, gathered in a vase on a sideboard, or layered throughout a living room, these florals bring depth and texture to any space. Soft greenery, muted oranges, deep plums, and earthy neutrals echo the warm color scheme of changing leaves and harvest landscapes, complementing everything from classic farmhouse interiors to contemporary modern designs.

Their lifelike appearance allows for a sense of authenticity, transforming ordinary living room corners into spaces that feel intentional and curated.

I love walking into a room that feels instantly calmer, quieter, and more inviting – the kind of space Joanna Gaines would effortlessly create. Living in the city with neighbors on both sides, true peace and quiet always felt out of reach until now. These Bulletin Board Acoustic Sound Tiles from the Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia collection at Target have completely transformed my space.

Their soft, textured surfaces framed in clean, understated lines absorb excess noise, soften echoes, and even help muffle sounds from my noisy neighbors, so conversations are clearer, music sounds richer, and every corner of my room feels serene and welcoming.

But their appeal doesn’t stop at soundproofing a room. Each panel doubles as a pinboard, inviting you to layer your personality right on the surface. Pin up travel photos, sketches, mood boards, to-do lists, or little notes of inspiration, turning a functional sound solution into a living gallery wall of your life.

Punteha van Terheyden, Head of Solved at Homes & Gardens, shares my love for using pinboards in the home.

'For me, a pinboard is more than just practical – it’s a way to bring personality into my space,' says Punteha. 'I can switch out photos, inspiration, and reminders whenever I like, so my home always feels fresh, personal, and full of meaning.'

The beauty is in the flexibility. Hang them vertically for a modern, gallery-style arrangement or horizontally for a grounded, balanced look. Use both together to create a larger sound-softening statement, or split them up to bring quiet and creativity to different corners of your home.

Whether you want to keep sound contained or block out the noise from next door, soundproofing a bedroom, home office, or media room can completely change the way you experience your home.

After seeing how much quieter my own space became with the Bulletin Board Acoustic Sound Tiles, I’ve gathered a few more of my favorite picks to help you create the same sense of calm.

As our homes take on more of our lives, these soundproof tiles meet the challenge, offering beauty you can see and calm you can feel. They’re not just hanging on your walls, they’re shaping the way you live, in the thoughtful, functional style Joanna Gaines champions.

Every so often, a product strikes the perfect balance between practicality and style – and right now, that product is the Owala x Hearth & Hand with Magnolia FreeSip water bottle from Target. It’s sleek, smart, and selling out faster than you can say ‘refill’. As it stands, over 24,000 people have already purchased one.

If you're anything like me, you likely carry around your water bottle with you everywhere, so why not make it a good one?

The appeal is easy to see. This stainless steel, triple-insulated bottle keeps drinks icy cold for up to 24 hours. The signature FreeSip lid offers two ways to drink: sip through the built-in straw or tip it back to swig from the wide-mouth opening. A push-button mechanism makes it effortless to open, while a locking carry loop keeps it secure on the go.

The Hearth & Hand with Magnolia edition takes that beloved design and dresses it in colors that feel made for fall 2025. Warm butterscotch yellow, dark olive green, vintage gingham, and a deep red which nods to the season’s cozy, earthy palette while remaining perfectly on-trend for the year ahead.

These soft, nature-inspired tones are a true selling point for me. They are also the perfect dorm room essential for anyone heading to college this year. I've already been asked twice where mine are from.

It’s no wonder these bottles are becoming a lifestyle staple. Their slim base fits perfectly in car cup holders, the leakproof lid means you can toss them in a tote without worry, and they’re durable enough to withstand everyday use. Many fans are buying multiples to rotate between workouts, commutes, and weekend outings.

The truth is, they’re more than just a water bottle; they’re a daily luxury that makes staying hydrated feel like a small act of self-care. And judging by how quickly they vanish from store shelves every restock, it’s safe to say I am a little smitten.

For faster delivery, the Owala FreeSip Insulated Bottles are also available on Amazon in 21 color options. It is currently the best-selling product in their home and garden range.

There's hundreds of products for sale, but with so much on markdown, it can be hard to work out what's best to buy. That's where I come in.

Target New Year sales FAQs

However, if you still want to shop in person, we have the lowdown on when the Target after-Christmas sales begin in person, too.

Target is famous for its after-Christmas sales. A trip to Target is perfect for grabbing discounts on holiday clearance, and if you scour the racks for yellow tag clearance items you can find huge savings. However, you can find some excellent discounts online, and shop from the comfort of the sofa and avoid the crowds.

Retailers are desperate to get rid of stock in time for the New Year, so the After Christmas Sales are the perfect time to save on holiday décor for next year, the gift you wanted but didn't get, or to spend any gift cards you received over the holidays. 

Here are some of the best Target deals to shop happening right now. We're already seeing items for 50% off. 

When is the Target after Christmas sale?

Target is open as usual on the on the 26th, so you start finding deals in person from 7:00am. You can start even earlier online. 

However, Target announced lots of deals in the run up to Christmas too, with up to $100 off Apple products, 50% off video games, and 50% off toys. 

What's on sale at Target after Christmas?

However, bear in mind that there's a knack to Target discounts. Acting fast before stock runs out is a smart move, but at the same time, clearance could hit as much as 75% or even 90% off in the final days of the sale if any inventory is left. You should err on the safe side and buy now if there's something you need immediately, and wait a few days for huge savings on anything nice-to-have but not necessary.
