Target Is Giving Away Pretty Sweet Gift Bags on Black Friday—Here's How to Get One
Old-school Black Friday shopping used to feel like a full-contact sport. The most loyal of deal hunters would roll up to the store in the middle of the night, armed with coffee, a blanket and a game plan. The parking lot was a sea of people camping out for doorbusters, and when those doors finally opened, it was pure pandemonium—shopping carts flying, aisles packed and everyone chasing that unbeatable deal . It was chaotic, exhausting and sometimes downright dangerous.
These days, thanks to online shopping, most of us don't have to brave the crowds or the 4 a.m. wake-up calls, but that doesn't mean the excitement is gone. Plenty of retailers still sprinkle in a little extra hype like special giveaways, surprise drops and in-store perks just to make Black Friday feel like an event again. And Target? It's especially good at giving shoppers something fun to look forward to.
This year, at every Target store in the U.S., the first 100 shoppers to enter the store on Black Friday will receive a prize-packed tote that includes a bunch of holiday favorites. Plus, 10 even more fortunate shoppers per store will be taking home major products that range in price from $99 to $350. (And just so we're all clear here, Black Friday falls on Friday, Nov. 28, this year.)

What's in These Target Black Friday Gift Bags?
I get it, "prize-packed tote" is kind of vague, right? While Target isn't giving away all of its secrets about what to expect, there's a little more info to know.
There will be free limited-edition iridescent holiday totes filled with fun giveaways to the first 100 shoppers at each Target store location in the U.S. Ten of those shoppers in each store are in for a real treat because their bags will include a big deal prize, like a Target Circle 360 membership, a $100 Target gift card, a Laifen Hair Dryer, a Ninja Slushie Machine or Beats Solo 4 headphones.
I should also mention there will be samples of the Target-exclusive Starbucks Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate available as well (because everyone deserves a sweet little treat while they're shopping for deals).
If you're going to brave one store in-person this Black Friday, Target's surprise-filled totes may be enticing enough for you to head on over and see what the deal is (and what special deals you can shop in store).
