An Instant Pot to pressure-cook it all (at 46% off).
This Instant Pot has nine functions in one, including the abilities to pressure-cook, slow-cook, saute, make rice and yogurt, make sous vide foods, hard-boil eggs, sterilize and keep food warm. All that in one kitchen machine means saving space and not having to purchase single-function appliances.
Promising review: “At first I didn’t want one because I was scared of blowing it up 🤣 turns out it’s pretty safe. It’s so easy to use and it cooks meat until it about falls apart. We use ours at least 3 times a week for those quick home cooked meals. We are amazed that you can put 3 chicken thighs in there totally frozen and they are almost falling off the bone in 20 minutes. You can’t beat that! It seems really durable and should last a long time. Also it’s easy to clean. You won’t regret this purchase.” — jc30436

‘A Love Song for Ricki Wilde’ by Tia Williams.
Don’t forget to grab good titles for your to-read list. For Target Circle Week, books are on sale in a darn-good “buy two, get one free” deal. In the mix, I recommend you scoop up what I’m reading: Tia Williams’ “A Love Song for Ricki Wilde” — a novel following the life of a horticulturist who’s the black sheep of her funeral home franchise-owning family. The book is beautifully written and well paced with dynamic characters.

The cult-favorite CosRx snail mucin. (Spend $40 and get a $15 gift card.)
Go ahead and get ungrossed out by the idea of snail mucin, because given the thousands of 5-star reviews? The stuff works. Reviewers credit it with hydration, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, minimizing the look of pores and contributing to an overall glow.
Promising review: “I originally bought this product a year ago. Went through two bottles while I was upping my skinscare game. I had changed so much in such a short time that I was crediting my other products more, so I didnt rebuy. After a few months I just noticed my skin wasnt looking as good as it had been. I assumed it was becuase I was traveling, or stressed with work or whatever else. … Then I realized the only thing I had changed was not using this anymore. I repurchased … and can already see my best skin coming back. As someone who thought it was all hype I can honestly say it makes the biggest differnece and I will definitely keep rebuying.” — Teej
Ulta Beauty’s Oh My Glow cream bronzer. (Spend $40 and get a $15 gift card.)
Another Ulta Beauty cart must-have? Cream bronzer. We tend to get less sun and experience more dryness in the cooler seasons. The Oh My Glow stick will help bring that sun-kissed look back into your face, while the cream formula can help seal in moisture. Two birds, one fab glow stick.Grab it in two offerings.
Promising review: “I’ve now gone through 2 of these bronzer sticks in the shade, Mocha. I’m light completed with cool/neutral skin tone and this is perfection for me. I wasn’t super knowledgeable on cream products when I first got this, and let me say, it’s an excellent product for someone dabbling or wanting to try a cream product for the first time. Blends like a dream and isn’t patchy or dry.” — Lisa
Some Count Chocula to ring in the spooky season. (Buy one and get one 50% off.)
