The Target’s Greatest Toy
Sale on Earth kicked off almost a week ago, and as always Target held an
amazing preview event for a lucky few; and I was invited to come along to this
jaw dropping event.
To begin with I had no idea
where I was heading on Little Lonsdale St, but before long I was greeted by a
Target lady as circus ring leader, dressed in Target’s signature red, black,
white and holding a Target lollypop (like that you would find a traffic
controller holding.)
So then it was a little
mission trying to get the pram down this dark alley way, and around the corner
until the laneway was lit up with Target spotlights and a red carpet to match.
We were at the back of the Thousand £ Bend, which is somewhere I had never
thought of heading for a night out, but will keep it in mind as the front café was
buzzing. Anyway, so the girls and I walked up the red carpet feeling a little
A-lister-like where we were greeted by more Target circus ringleaders- only
these ones were holding bubbly beverages for us older kids and flavored milk
for the real kids.
I could have counted to 5
before I lost the girls in two different directions. Hayley who is 5 headed
straight to the girly corner of Ever After High to have her nails and hair
attended to.
While my youngest ran straight to the Peppa Pig section to play.
In the middle of the room
there was an amazing carousel filled with little black Mercedes Benz
and Cat
diggers for the kids to ride.
But if they were big enough I can tell you now
this big kid would have jumped on for a ride J
There was also a star wars
area where there were quite a few Lego areas set up to play, and a photobooth.
To the right of that there was Hot Wheels set up and a helicopter launching pad
(miniature toy ones of course.) Also there was an area where Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles were set up, and this is also where I would find Madison who is 3
spending a lot of her time- just like her Mummy! I used to love the TMNT as a
child so it is great to see them returning to shelves for our children to
enjoy.
As always Target has amazing
service and catering is never short of perfect. At the end of the night there
was a surprise dessert arriving, and I had no idea they meant an ice-cream
truck will show up at the door step. Of course Madison took advantage of this
and treated herself to an ice-cream.
We then headed back inside and prepared to
leave, but before we did the girls were lucky enough to receive a lucky dip.
Basically this night was to
give us a sneak peak at the Top Target toys and ones that will fly out the door
when the sale begins. I can confirm they were spot on, and as I headed into the
Toy Sale yesterday the shelves were quickly becoming empty and all those Top
Toys were going out the door like hot cakes. I couldn’t help myself and left
the store with the Peppa Pig playset as my girls had so much fun- plus for $99
you get so much included in the one playset, so I was SOLD!
I would encourage every
family out there to take advantage of Target’s toy sale and of course their
Christmas Lay-by as to be realistic its less then half a year away now and
before you know it Xmas will come knocking on the door.
