We’re still in shock that Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, but recent visits to Target have confirmed the fact. For all of our needs, we’re turning to the Target Valentine’s Day collection for 2023.
Also for all of our wants. But no one can tell us we don’t need a felt heart wreath. They’ve got decorating kits, adorable decor featuring kittens, dogs, and even a tiger, sweet-smelling candles, and so much pink you might think something is wrong with your vision.
We pulled together all of our favorite items, which also serves as our shopping list. We’ll meet you on the other side of this conversation heart sugar crash.
