There’s no denying it–Target will forever have us in its clutches. It’s where we go to wander the bright aisles, fill our carts with new treasures, and inevitably spend more than we planned. The numbers are staggering–according to data from Numerator for Business Insider, U.S. households spent an average of $2,278 at Target in 2022.

But with budgets tightening, we can’t just toss anything into those cheerful red carts. (I mean, our kids’ berry habit alone is about to start eroding their college funds. But at least they’ve started reducing prices on some groceries!) That’s why we’ve carefully vetted Target’s top sellers and reviewer favorites across clothing, home goods, and accessories for moms and kids. These products have either earned rave reviews from shoppers or made it onto our own must-have lists–or both.

The truth is, as much as we love Target, not everything is worth the hype. There are some items you’ll definitely want to skip, even if they’re having a major moment. But the picks on this list? Consider them Target’s greatest hits–the pieces that are genuinely well-made, versatile, and affordable enough to justify the purchase.

Whether you’re just grabbing the essentials or looking for a little treat for yourself, we’ve curated the Target best-sellers worth your hard-earned coin. Happy shopping!

Shoes and Clothing

Stars Above Beautifully Soft Fleece Jogger Pants

Stars Above

Beautifully Soft Fleece Jogger Pants

According to nearly 4k enthusiastic reviewers–including one who says “If I had to pick a pair of pants to wear for the rest of my life, these would be it”–these may just be the most comfy joggers out there. The fleece-lined fabric is buttery soft and warm but still lightweight enough to wear almost year-round. And at $20 bucks, you can feel ok about buying them in each color!

Cat & Jack Leggings

Cat & Jack

Kids Leggings

Not only have these Cat & Jack leggings amassed over 12k ratings from parents who call them comfy, well-made and a “wardrobe staple”, Cat & Jack also guarantees their clothes for an entire year. The $6 dollars leggings have a reputation for being durable but if the occasional pair is no match for your kids’ roughhousing, you can march them back to Target and get them replaced!

Stars Above Cozy Chenille Robe

Stars Above

Cozy Chenille Robe

$37.99

As a self-proclaimed robe enthusiast, I’ll tell you that dollars spent does not dictate quality, coziness or comfort. I’ve scoped styles that cost $200+ and this sub $40 style from Stars Above still ranks as a top pick. The chenille material is mid-weight which still feels spa-like but is great for wearing year-round. It’s long but not excessively so and washes like a dream!

WIld Fable Cropped Sweatshirt

Wild Fable

Cropped Sweatshirt

$18

I’ve personally purchased this raved-about favorite in at least three colors over the past couple years and agree with others assessment that it’s both flattering and washes well without pilling. The colors are currently limited to grey and black but they seem to change up fairly often, so bookmark it and come back regularly if you’re a fan like me.

A New Day Maddison Sneakers

A New Day

A fresh pair of white kicks is a summer staple. This timeless court style not only goes with literally everything–they’re also equipped with a memory foam insole for maximum comfort.

A New Day

Slim Fit Short Sleeve Ribbed T-Shirt

$8

With nearly 10k ratings, it’s safe to say these simple tees are a Target phenomenon. (That’s probably why they now make them in over a dozen colors.) The fit is great, they wash well and they’re less than $10 bucks. What more could you ask for?

Stars Above Beautifully Soft Notch Collar Nightgown

Target shoppers–and Motherly editors alike–are obsessed with this insanely soft nightgown from Stars Above. The length is perfection, the weight is comfortable practically year-round and with the button front it’s perfect for pregnancy, postpartum and nursing, too!

Threshold 400 Thread Count Printed Performance Sheet Set

Threshold

400 Thread Count Printed Performance Sheet Set

$40

While sheets often come down to personal preference, 8k Target shoppers agree on this affordable cotton set from Threshold. They’re OEKO-TEX certified with a patented fit technology that allows them to fit (and stay put!) around deep mattresses. It might take a few washes for them to soften up, but once they do, you’re golden.

Project 62

28" Round Decorative Wall Mirror

$60

Nothing transforms a space quite like a well-placed mirror. And at 28″ inches and just $60, this best-seller packs a sizable bang for the buck. I bought the brass version a few years ago and besides the fact it required an extra heavy duty dry wall mount, it has been totally perfect in our space.

Room Essentials Self-Watering Plastic Indoor Outdoor Planter Pot

Room Essentials

Self-Watering Plastic Indoor Outdoor Planter Pot

$8

A few years ago I decided I wanted a deck full of plants in various-sized pots. Then I started shopping for them and realized they generally cost about a zillion dollars. My big plans momentarily on hold, I stumbled upon these on a Target run and bam! Plans back on. I, along with 6k others have discovered that they’re the absolute best bang for the buck out there. Yes, they’re plastic, but it’s a matte plastic that doesn’t look cheap at all and they’re super light and easy to move. They also come in a four colors (black, white, blue, and evergreen) and five sizes.
