The best sales are the ones that not everyone can shop. There’s a smug kind of thrill in exclusivity – the same one I get waiting outside a sample sale, silently praying my annual pair of Manolos hasn’t sold out in my size. But this time, Joanna Gaines is serving the excitement without the elbowing, offering up to 40% off her newly dropped Hearth & Hand with Target collection. A seasonal refresh made almost too easy, with no excuse necessary to skip work on a random Thursday morning.
The fall sale’s something of an open secret – technically reserved for Target Circle members – but the barrier to entry is low. Signing up is free, takes about two minutes, and feels like a small price to pay for the markdowns at hand.
And yes, it’s the good stuff. The six-taper brass candelabra at Target – the accordion-armed one I’ve been eyeing since launch – is now under $40. If it felt irresponsible not to buy it before, it feels downright foolish now. The lineup hits all of the usual fall trends (throws, pillows, candles) but sneaks in a few unusual treasures too, such as copper pepper mills, magnifying glasses, and burlap-rendered wall art that could probably pass for a one-of-one commission.
These deals disappear October 11, but realistically, they won’t last that long. To save you the scramble, I’ve rounded up the six pieces worth snagging before everyone else catches on.
Fall foliage is the easiest way to fast-track a room into the season. Bringing the outdoors in gives everything else – the wovens, the mossy greens, the burnt oranges – context. These real preserved bunny tails read warm-and-wild, layering in wonderfully with fresh stems too.
A table lamp for $17.99? Add to cart, then maybe grab another. The ceramic base gives it character, while the knife-pleated shade reads deep brown when off and glows a mellow cognac when lit. It’s a finishing touch that pulls any seasonal vignette together, whether that’s a nightstand, a desk, or a precarious tiny table you’ve been meaning to style.
Bring a little theater to the table with this six-taper candelabra. The moveable arms let you adjust the shape depending on the scene – wide and sculptural for drama, narrow and linear for something more subdued. The silhouette nods to mid-century design, but the brass finish softens it for the season. Consider pairing with Joanna’s ribbed LED tapers (I have them – they flicker so convincingly, you’d never guess they’re flameless).
Charcuterie boards are basically a fall requirement – even if it’s just you, a Thursday night, and a half-empty bottle of wine. This one, though, feels a little more elevated than most. The glass cloche makes even a grocery-store brie look like it was sourced from a farm shop in Provence. The wood base lends it a rustic, still-life kind of charm, and with a five-star rating, it’s clearly not just me who think so.
The tell with mass-produced wall art is always texture – or lack thereof. Real pieces have depth, variation, a hint of hand. Joanna Gaines solves for that with this pair of autumnal landscapes printed on burlap. Perfect for filling an empty wall above an entryway table or in a home office that needs a little soul.
Say it with me: you can never have too many throw blankets in autumn. They’re practical (something to reach for in every corner), but they also pull a room together faster than any new piece of furniture could. This one, with its fringe edge and moss-green grid pattern, captures the softer side of retro we’re gravitating toward right now.
We all know how it goes – one minute you’re lighting your fall candles, the next it’s Christmas. And, as ever, Joanna Gaines is right on cue. Her just-dropped holiday 2025 collection for Target is nostalgic, charming, and chic enough to stay after the season’s over. Definitely worth adding to cart while you’re here.
