Fans are Racing to Target to Get Their Hands On This New 'Perfect Summer Treat'
Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. Fans are Racing to Target to Get Their Hands On This New 'Perfect Summer Treat' originally appeared on Parade. Toast is one of those complete dishes that requires nothing more than a single ingredient—high-quality bread. It exists on its own and doesn't need anything extra to be a stunning anytime meal. You can enjoy it simply slathered with butter or jam, schmeared with cream cheese, or topped with a jammy egg, avocado, and chili crisp. It can stand on its own four corners or be the base of any number of delicious creations. So, what's not to love? 😋😋🍳🍔 Whether you enjoy it as a late-night snack, as an addition to your Waffle House All-Star Special, or as the start of a sweet treat when you're feeling too lazy to bake, toast essentially makes the world go round. Of course, toast without a spread, while still incredibly good, just isn't as exciting. Not that toast is bad but any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes things need a little extra encouragement. Maybe spreads actually make the world go round instead. Yeah, that sounds more accurate. Regardless, we love toast and spreads equally, but love when the two come together just a teensy bit for those of us with a sweet tooth, Target has plenty of delectable sweet spreads that taste great on their own, on top of toast, or as a dip for fruit, and @targettrendsetter is sharing all the deets. The Favorite Day Sweet Spreads are now available at Target, and shoppers are saying, 'Those look delicious!' These sweet spreads come in three flavors—s'mores, cookies and cream, and cocoa and popcorn. Each spread stuns when spread on toast or fruit, and can even be enjoyed straight up on a spoon. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ashley • Target Trendsetter (@targettrendsetter) 13-ounce jars of these sweet spreads will set you back a meager $3.69, and we apologize in advance for clearing the shelves. We can see why fans are saying they 'Have to try these!!'

Target's ‘Cloud-Knit' Pajamas Are Just $25 — And Reviewers Are Buying Them In Multiples
It's an undeniable truth that one of the best times to crawl into bed is right after you've washed your sheets. There's pretty much nothing that tops the first-sleep-post-laundry day feeling... except adding clean pajamas to the scenario. A pajama set is certain make it feel like you have your entire life together, and for some people is a key element in getting a perfect night's sleep. Luckily, this Target set (which comes with shorts or cropped pants) is an affordable way to get your PJ game on — and over 1,300 reviewers are already on sets, manufactured by the brand Auden, come in black, navy, and heathered gray, plus pink and pink floral in the pants, and retail for $25 or $30, depending on which pairing you buy. Reviewers are absolutely jumping on the different color options, saying that they're doubling up so they never run out of clean sets. 'I'm going to have to get all of the colors now! Love!' one user wrote. Another person reported: 'These are my favorite PJs. I've been buying them for years. Have had them in many colors. So comfy.' 'Please make more colors/prints,' one Target shopper pleaded. Reviewers also boast about the comfort of the material. 'These are the coziest and softest pajamas I have ever had,' one buyer remarked. Another shopper said, 'Comfiest pjs I own. I normally don't like pjs but I'm ordering more of these. They are lightweight but warm. Stretchy, comfy, all around 10/10.' The Auden brand has become popular among Target shoppers for its comfortable nighttime wear and intimates, including nightgowns, bras, lingerie, and, of course, plenty of cozy pajamas. Many reviewers of the PJ sets compared the Auden version to other Target brands, like the Stars Above pajamas which are no longer available at the store. Get the shorts set for $25 or the pants set for $30 from Target (available in women's sizes XS–4X and in five colors and patterns).
