It’s almost time for Target Circle Week at Target.

This year’s seasonal shopping event, Target Circle Week, will take place from October 6 to 12, featuring what Target claims is its largest holiday product range yet, with 50% more new offerings than in 2023.

Earlier this year, Target hosted Target Circle Week in April and a summer edition in July. The upcoming October event marks the beginning of the pre-holiday shopping period, coinciding with Amazon Prime Day in October (exact date still pending).

Target mentions that over half of its holiday collection will be exclusive items. Shoppers can expect to find many toys under $20 and Wondershop holiday products priced at $10 or less, along with thousands of stocking stuffer options priced under $5, and festive clothing and accessories starting at $5.

“Shoppers are gearing up for one of the most thrilling seasons of the year. That’s why we’re fully embracing the allure of Tarzhay as never before—with a unique selection, great value, and an experience that only Target can provide,” remarked Rick Gomez, Target’s Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, in a press release. “From exclusive items to the return of Target Circle Week and incredible daily deals, our holiday offerings are distinctly Target and will enhance the joy of the season.”

During Target Circle Week, there will be exclusive Deals of the Day available for one day only, and this will continue starting from November 1 throughout the entire holiday shopping period.

If you’re seeking employment, Target plans to hire about 100,000 seasonal staff members for its stores and supply chain. The company noted that more than half of last year’s seasonal hires received permanent job offers. Interested individuals can apply at TargetSeasonalJobs.com starting September 25.
