TARGET HAS $1 MAILBOXES.....
In case anyone is interested, the Dollar Spot at Target already has the mailboxes out for Valentines Day....
No, I didn't buy any at all, but figured you crafty stampers would want to know!!!;)

Can someone describe or post a picture of these mailboxes? I'm interested but can't get there for a few days.

They make the cutest little Valentine decorations. I sure there are a ton of other uses. That one is my favorite.

I got a few of these last year and tucked Valentine's candy in them for my co-workers.
They are easy to decorate. I have not seen these at my Target yet.
I love their $1 section ;)

Here are LOTS of samples from the gallery.
Here are great instructions for decorating them, with emphasis getting around the flag.

My 3 stores have pink, white and red in the dollar section.
They also have 8 inch tall by 12 inch long craft foam ones in the stationery/stuff area. They are selling with lots of glitter foam accessories--good for kids to assemble.
Always get a kick out of Target seasonal stuff.

Thanks for the heads up. I usually skip that area. The stationary section is one of my weaknesses.

I have also bought some from Salvation Army and Goodwill in perfect condition for like 49 cents. Check those places or other thrift stores if you can't get them at Target.

I think Target donates much of it's leftover merch. to goodwill (at least here they always have new in box target stuff)
