Here’s a post from Graco’s very own Kelley Maxfield on our channel marketing team. She’s got some great info on deals and special items that you can find at Target this season:

Thanksgiving has kicked off the holiday season. For anyone who completed your holiday shopping on Black Friday – “BIG high five!” And for the rest of us – there are still some great deals to be had.

My name is Kelley, I work on the Graco channel team with Target and I spend a good portion of my week at Target (mostly for baby, but a few pit stops for me) and checking out Target.com. Target has some really great deals to help you conquer your holiday wish lists while saving you some cash. Here are some tips:

• Read the Target weekly circulars – they’re loaded with great deals – sales, price cuts, and the Weekly Wows – like the $5 holiday storage totes or the $8 men’s sleeping pants  – funny how those pants always make their way to the dinner table every holiday

• Didn’t receive the circular in the mail? No problem – you can view it on www.target.com in the top right corner

• FREE shipping!!!! If you spend $50 or more on 100,000+ select items you get free shipping.

• Watch out for Daily Deals – every day Target features a sweet price on a product and they give you free shipping. There’s even a count down!

You can find some really great deals on Target.com – it also helps to know where to look

And what kind of Graco employee would I be if I didn’t talk about Baby?! Will you be traveling to Grandma’s? Uncle Bob’s house? To help you set up Baby’s “home away from home,” try Graco’s Travel Lite™ Crib – it’s smaller than a traditional playard and has a full bassinet making it great for time spent away from home at the holidays. The Sweet Slumber™ Sound Machine can also help you soothe Baby to sleep with white noise if she has a hard time sleeping in an unfamilar place (or if the adults get a little too noisy!) – plus, it hooks up to your MP3 player.

Happy Holidays and enjoy your shopping!
