Petal and Pup Women’s Balsa Dress

“There are a few fabulous dresses from Petal and Pup that would make a fantastic gift for your favorite fashionista,” she said. “While $79 is on the high end for Target pricing, a dress like this from a mid-end designer could easily cost two-to-three-times as much.”

When you think of it that way, this is actually a frugal purchase. You could spend several hundred dollars on an equivalent designer dress, so this is actually a steal.

Threshold 8oz Lidded Glass Jar Black Label Rustic Palo Santo Candle

Bodge said there are lots of excellent gift options in Target’s Threshold line, including a holiday selection.

“I especially like their candles, which are priced at $10,” she said. “If you were to buy a similar-looking candle at a store like Pottery Barn or West Elm, you would pay significantly more — yet [this] look[s] much more expensive.”

Threshold also offers several other scents at this price point, such as Black Label Olive Leaf and Oud, Forest Fir and Ginger Black Tea.
