25 Target Products To Feel Like A Responsible Adult
A robot mop and vacuum that is the epitome of "work smarter, not harder." Or, I guess, actually, it's the epitome of "don't work at all, make a robot clean all the muddy dog footprints off your hardwood floors." Promising review: "Currently obsessed with this thing. Love it so much. Such an improvement over the last robot vacuum/mop we bought and returned a couple of years ago. So far, I feel it is totally worth the extra money over the other brands. I have especially been surprised at the customization to cleaning different areas, from suction power to the rise of carpets and grain direction for wood floors! Also been surprised at it not getting stuck anywhere yet. It can go under and over better than my old robot did. Also, it is much quieter than I expected. I will probably start running the mop at night. The only con is my toddler is afraid of it, lol." —ElleBPrice: $599.99 A can organizer, because you are playing a dangerous game when you just stack your La Croix and Olipops all willy-nilly in your fridge. This organizer works for mini and full-size cans, and takes up less room than the big cardboard crate that they came in. Promising review: "Great organization item! Sturdy. Holds up to three rows of cans. Regular size and mini cans both work." —BrittncourtPrice: $14 A set of two drawer dividers so you can finally store your clothes in a way that will allow you to actually find the stuff you want when you need it. Imagine it... buying a pair of socks and then actually knowing where they are because they didn't randomly migrate underneath a pile of T-shirts. Revolutionary! Promising review: "Bought these for our baby's dresser to divide up her onesies and outfits and they are great! Easy to adjust and honestly just having the divide makes sorting her clothes so much easier. I am ready to buy more for our dresser." —SCmamaPrice: $15 A Keurig K-Cafe smart single-serve coffee maker that isn't just amazing because it can make cappuccinos and lattes as well as regular coffee. No, the truly amazing thing here is the Wi-Fi capability... yup, that means you can brew coffee without getting out of bed, just by using the app. Sometimes it's cool to live in the future, right? Promising review: "I recently got the Keurig K-Café smart coffee maker and it's honestly amazing. The Wi-Fi feature is super convenient — I can start brewing from my phone, which is perfect for those mornings when I'm still half asleep. The different brew sizes are great too, whether I'm just grabbing a small cup or need a big one to power through the day. The milk frother is such a nice touch, and I've been making some really good lattes and cappuccinos at home. It's way easier to use than I expected, and cleaning it has been simple too. The black design looks sleek on my counter, which is a bonus. If you're thinking about upgrading your coffee setup, I'd totally recommend this one. It's been a game changer for me." —IsaacPrice: $199.99 A Bentgo two-tier snack cup that isn't just for kids — this is perfect for bringing two equally delicious (but totally incompatible) snacks to work. Pretzels and apple slices? Hummus and blueberries? Don't fear — the cup's two airtight compartments are totally separate, so there's no leakage (or spilled pretzel dust). Price: $19.99 (available in five colors) A pack of Pixi + Hello Kitty sheet masks that aren't just printed with adorable images of your fav cartoon kitty — they're soaked with vitamins A and C, and reviewers say they make their skin feel plump and ultra-hydrated. Promising reviews: "Hands down the best sheet mask I've ever tried! Leaves skin plump, hydrated and glassy. I put mine in the fridge to chill before I applied and it just added to the overall rejuvenating effect. Go buy it!!" —Anonymous"Bought these just because they were Hello Kitty… ended up making my skin so soft and glowy for 24 hours. Evens helped the look of acne scarring." —kaitlynn jPrice: $10 for a pack of three A clear stackable organizer tray that's the answer to your bathroom counter chaos. Say goodbye to a million little bottles you're always accidentally knocking off the edge of the sink... and hello to actually being able to properly organize your skincare. Promising review: "I use these under my bathroom sink to organize my perfume, nail polish, face and hair oils. And I'm realizing I need to get more. They are durable. Easy to clean. Very high quality and don't scuff or scratch. These trays are the perfect size and really allow me to stay organized and aware of what products are where (super important for someone like me with ADHD)." —Target ShopperPrice: $5+ (available in five sizes) A Theragun massage gun because Future You is going to be very, very pleased with Present You for buying this. This percussive massage tool has three attachments, plus an easy-to-hold triangle handle, so when your next back ache or strained calf muscle shows up, you're gonna be prepared to send it packing. Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my son for Christmas, but one day my sciatica was acting up and I asked to borrow it. Just a few minutes of use gave me hours of relief." —JustmePrice: $159.99 (available in two colors) An Our Place ceramic nonstick Always pan that works on, like, a bazillion different levels at once. It has a chic monochrome look that will make it the instant star of all your cooking posts, but it's also useful as heck: it can be used for baking, broiling, frying, steaming, braising, searing, and more. When's the last time you bought something that looked super cool *and* helped you order less Seamless? Set includes an Always Pan 2.0 in original nonstick, a modular steam-release lid, a nesting beechwood spatula, and a steamer basket and review: "I love the quality of the pan and lid. The nonstick ceramic surface works beautifully. The pan heats evenly, and food cooks efficiently." —ChristinaPrice: $129 (available in five colors) A marble cheese tray with a built-in slicer because this is the height of glamour! Well, it's the height of cheese-related glamour, at the very least. Plus, it solves the *very cheesy* problem of having your knife slip when you're trying to cut off a bit of cheddar on your cutting board. Promising review: "Perfect size. Heavy-duty board. Looks expensive but the price is perfect! Heavy in weight, too." —Tiffy3Price: $20 A two-tier organizer so the area under your bathroom sink no longer has to be an untamed wilderness. These organizers won't just double your storage space — they have a tiny side pocket so you can keep your smaller items easily on hand, too. Promising review: "Amazing. I really like the functionality and convenience of this under-the-sink organizer. The two-tier design allows me to maximize the limited space under my kitchen sink, and the side caddy and hooks make it easy to access my cleaning supplies and other essentials. The nonslip rubber legs keep it securely in place, and the drainage holes and raised base keep my items dry and organized. Assembling it was a breeze, and the high-quality plastic and durable metal rods provided additional stability. Overall, this under-sink organizer is a home organization must-have that I would recommend to anyone looking to make the most out of their storage space." —abePrice: $36.99 (originally $46.99; available in two colors and also in packs of two) A 12-pound weighted knit blanket that will fit in with your rustic, boho or coastal decor better than your standard fleece-covered weighted blanket. Instead of being filled with glass beads, it's knit from weighted tubes... different technology, different look, same next-level coziness and relaxation. Promising review: "I purchased on a whim and this blanket is wonderful. I am sleeping so much better. It is exactly 12 pounds and I find the knit material to provide some breathability while being sturdy but soft. I traded my bead-filled weighted blanket for this and feel it is definitely worth the price. It looks like a regular throw blanket and I purchased the blush color which is beautiful, making it visually appealing as well. I recommend!" —FLPrice: $140 (available in two colors) A seven-tier shoe rack for anyone whose entryway is home to a Giant Shoe Pile. This rack has a charming minimalist aesthetic, but more importantly, it'll keep you from tripping over a stray Converse ever again. Promising review: "I ordered more than one and they are great in small spaces, as described. They were easy to put together, and we're using one as additional storage in the bathroom, and also as a shoe rack in a bedroom. It is versatile and worth the price." —CarmPrice: $37.99+ (originally $139.99; available in two colors) A wine-purifying tool that removes sulfites, aka the things that cause wine headaches. Might I suggest pairing this with a nice cab franc and the shocked and amazed expressions on all of your friends' faces? Promising review: "I've owned this purifier for three years. It's awesome. Used to always get headaches from sulfites in red wine, but this took care of that. It doesn't change the taste of the wine, either. It's a little pricey, and you have to buy filters, but if you get bad headaches and love wine, it will be worth it. Their customer service is also top-notch. We accidentally threw away a small part of the device, contacted the company, and they shipped us a replacement part for free. Five stars all around! Cheers!" —Cat MilgarPrice: $79.99 An ultrasonic skin-scrubbing spatula because all those fancy schmancy serums and lotions you buy may actually just be sitting on top of your skin and not really getting absorbed. This handy dandy tool can help with that — and it can help deep clean with high-frequency vibrations that lift blackheads, whiteheads, and grime out of the skin. Promising reviews: "This does a great job cleaning my skin. I have glass skin after using this product!" —VickiePrice: $29.99+ (available in two colors) A battery-powered indoor/outdoor camera with low-light vision that works equally well for seeing who's at the door as it does for keeping an eye on Fluffy while you're out for the day. Plus, it has two-way audio — perfect for reminding your pups that they're good, chatting with visitors, or surprise-serenading your partner from across town. Price: $99.99 A breakfast sandwich maker, because is there any decision as genius as the decision that allows you to have a piping-hot bacon, egg and cheese without putting on pants of any sort?? Promising review: "Bought this so my husband has another breakfast option when he wakes at 4:30 a.m. He likes how easy and fast it is, and the sandwich comes out perfectly. As others have mentioned, we haven't experienced problems with the egg seeping out yet. I'd buy it again." —RuherePrice: $37.99 A Bluetooth-enabled Polaroid printer that literally fits in any pocket or bag and can instantly turn any digital photo into a sticker or print. I'm not saying you weren't the life of the party before you bought this... but you definitely are now. Price: $99.99 A Kitsch coconut oil deep conditioning bar so you can hydrate your locks without any plastic waste. Plus, isn't sudsing up a bar way more convenient that squirting gooey conditioner every which way? Promising review: "I was skeptical, but so far, so good! After each use, my hair is full and super soft! I'll definitely purchase again." —MelthompPrice: $14 (available in three options) An inflatable saucer chair, because beach/camping/park hangout season is here, and this year, no one is going to catch you messing around with those terrible little folding beach chairs (you know, the ones that always almost take your finger off with their hinges). It also works indoors, if you're traveling, in the middle of moving, or just want to sit in a big inflatable chair while you do your Hacks rewatch. Price: $39.99 (originally $82.99) A 5-quart Ninja air fryer that air fries, bakes, and crisps, so you can have a million dinner options that all take minimal effort from you (the best type of dinner options, imho). Promising review: "It has a great basket to fit in quite a bit, but it's not overly huge on the counter. It is a bit loud, but it cooks so well! We are really enjoying it so far. Looking forward to using it even more!" —MrMikeGPrice: $129.99 An ultra-slim two slice toaster, because have you ever noticed that your toaster is weirdly enormous? Why does it need so much hardware just to toast two lil' slices of bread? This narrow model will take up way less counterspace (but will toast your bagels just as thoroughly). Promising review: "I first loved the minimalistic design and that it's lightweight. I love the tray to clean bread crumbs. Functional buttons are easy to understand and the toaster does a perfect job." —PlacematPrice: $24.99 (available in five colors) A knit midi tank dress for anyone with a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear. This adorable neutral dress? That has fun piping to make it unique, but also enough subtle style to go with pretty much any accessory? It is Something To Wear. Pssst! Reviewers recommend sizing review: "This is a fantastic dress! It's floor length and I can wear it with flats or heels. The material is soft and it washed very well. I'm planning to take it on an upcoming cruise. Beyond that, I know I will enjoy wearing it all spring and summer." —MPrice: $25 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and two colors) A Ninja rechargeable portable mini-blender that fits right in your cupholder, so you never again have to grab a totally unsatisfying convenience-food snack — now, you can blend up a smoothie anytime, anyplace (well, not the library. Or the middle of the bathroom at your office. Anyplace where its appropriate to blend a smoothie, is what I mean). Promising review: "Super easy to use, and convenient for on-the-go smoothies and meal-replacement shakes!" —MschivPrice: $69.99 (available in eight colors) A Google 4K TV streamer with voice search, because it feels like typing out the name of the show you want to watch on a traditional remote takes about as long as it does to actually watch it. Plus, it has a much more streamlined and ~aesthetic~ look than most other streaming devices. Promising review: "Just what I needed! It looks modern and stylish. Perfect size, great features, and quality. Buying a second one." —MePrice: $99.99

Albion 'in the hands of people who care'
Albion chairman Shilen Patel has written his latest open letter to supporters and there's plenty to be encouraged by - but it's also honest about their ongoing challenge of abiding by the EFL's profit and sustainability rules (PSR).The Baggies must avoid losses of £39m over a three-year rolling period and the American owner describes the fact that they avoided breaching rules in the last financial year as "a remarkable feat". He has pumped millions of pounds into the club monthly since taking over in February of last year and he and his team absolutely deserve credit for that. However, he has warned the club will have to continue to be "pragmatic and adaptable" when it comes to the transfer writes that fans should expect player departures every summer but they want to recruit "well-vetted" talents. This is the task of sporting director Andrew Nestor and has been displayed by the capture of Isaac Price, who was watched for some time before the Baggies signed him for around £2.5m from Standard Liege in January. He will no doubt be sold for a much higher fee at some point in the future. Likewise, Norwegian defender Torbjorn Heggem was bought for just over £500k last summer but is now worth way more after a stellar debut season in English football and the club will eventually cash in on academy product Tom Fellows. Which one of their high value assets leaves in this window is to be determined but that's the business of also recognises the need to grow commercially, he reveals conversations with local political leaders to boost the Baggies' standing in the wider West Midlands region and doesn't forget about their role in the community through the Albion Foundation charity, which he labels "vital".In the last year, the club has invested in the training ground while improvements to the Hawthorns stadium have taken place this summer. It's also a positive that the club consider it a "priority" to find a home ground for the women's team that's closer to West Bromwich. The third-tier side currently play 20 miles away in Redditch and Patel wants a venue that's better suited to "elite-level football". It's worth noting that spending on all these things does not come under a work in progress but the club is in the hands of people who genuinely care. As always in the fickle world of football though, it's what happens on the field that counts. Shilen Patel reckons new men's head coach Ryan Mason has "all the qualities to make a massive mark on the club" and that's what fans will focus on the most.

George Best, Norman Whiteside... Isaac Price?
When Isaac Price spoke to the media before Northern Ireland's friendly with Iceland at Windsor Park, it was put to him that his next goal for Michael O'Neill's side would draw him level with some iconic figures who have worn the green jersey. George Best, Norman Whiteside, Gareth McAuley and Billy Bingham were the only four men to score exactly nine times for Northern Ireland. "The names are legends. I don't think I'm anywhere near that," replied the 21-year-old on Monday afternoon. "But if I got to score another goal and join them, it would be an incredibly proud moment for me and my family."In the end, the wait was a short one as, with 36 minutes gone in Tuesday night's 1-0 win, the West Bromwich Albion man drifted off the left before curling in a right-footed effort from outside the the final goal of his October hat-trick against Bulgaria and March's free-kick against Switzerland having come from a similar area of the Windsor Park pitch, it was the sort of finish that feels like it is quickly becoming Price's trademark. If this one seemed more special given the company the Everton youth product now keeps, what's most impressive is the speed with which he has reached such rarefied air in the country's record books. At 21 years and 257 days old, no player has ever hit their ninth goal for Northern Ireland at a younger age. The game against Iceland was the side's last before their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign begins in September with an away double-header against Luxembourg and the time those fixtures roll around, it will be almost two years since their last qualifier. If Liverpool's Conor Bradley has emerged as the side's talisman in that period, then Price has filled a role which has posed a problem for even longer - that of a regular goalscorer. He remains some way off David Healy's 36 scored for the side between 2000 and 2013, but when the former Leeds United and Preston North End striker came on the scene the record stood at just 13. While Kyle Lafferty later hit 20 in 89 caps, with his goals proving crucial in guiding the side to Euro 2016 qualification, the search for a successor has been difficult. Indeed, before Price's run of seven goals in his past seven caps, it had not been uncommon for defender Paddy McNair to be the most prolific member of Michael O'Neill's starting side during the manager's second stint in charge. That such a void has been filled by a player who is not striker at all, and rarely scores at club level, feels all the more noteworthy. He scored once for West Brom after his January move from Standard Liege, the same tally he managed in two seasons spent in Belgium's top flight. While calling his move abroad from Everton in 2023 the "best decision" he could have made for his football, Price noted it had been "challenging to settle" in a new country, something that conversely made Northern Ireland feel all the more "like home" when the England-born player came away on international too, did the confidence of his manager. O'Neill acknowledged only this week that he likely still did not know Price's best position, but internationally he has settled into playing off the left of midfield, inside a wing-back and behind a central striker. At club level, he often holds a more orthodox midfield position and has even turned out at right-back, although he noted he still works on his finishing "every day". "I think Michael said that from day one since coming here, he' s seen me as a player that's a goal threat," said Price, who made his international debut in March 2023 while still playing for Everton Under-23s. He added: "I've probably not had a manager that's told me that before. I feel like I've always been a number eight or a little bit deeper, trying to get on the ball more."But when I come here, he's seen something in me that I probably didn't see in myself."Just what was it that O'Neill saw?"Two things - intelligence and athleticism. They are the two biggest things," said the manager, who like Price made his international debut for NI as a teenager."There is a technical level there but he's an intelligent boy. He understands the game and if you give him an instruction he is able to do it."He is a very easy player to coach and I think that's the biggest attribute he has. If you are looking at the profile of a modern day footballer, we'd maybe like to see him a few kilograms heavier, but given his size and his ability to run, he has all the attributes you want in a young player."Of course, there is no greater attribute than a knack for a timely goal with Price's ability to find the net, even on nights like Tuesday when he felt below his best, key to NI's hopes of making it to the World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico next summer."You need that in teams if you want to have a chance of qualifying," said defender Trai Hume who has lined out alongside Price in 19 of his 22 caps."You just look at Kyle Lafferty in 2016, he was scoring goals non-stop."He will keep on scoring, I've no doubt about that." O'Neill still maintains Price's biggest contribution is off the ball. While it is his goals that catch the eye, a game in which he did not score, the 2-1 defeat against Denmark on Saturday, offered a good Gustav Isaksen was quickly shown to be the host's most direct threat in Copenhagen with Price recognising that his left wing-back, Justin Devenny, was playing in an unfamiliar position and frequently tracked back deeper to help out. "The ball falls to Isaac and you know there's a bit of magic in him, you know it's going to happen," said Crystal Palace's Devenny."We see his quality on the ball, but it maybe goes under the radar, his work off the ball. He doesn't stop running for 90 minutes. "That's massive for this team when we need to dig in. Isaac maybe doesn't get the credit for that because he gets all the credit for his ability on the ball."Having spoken about his desire to achieve team success, Price wants to keep climbing Northern Ireland's goalscoring charts only 14 men have ever netted more for the team. Next in his sights are another fine trio of players - Jimmy McIlroy, Peter McParland and Johnny Crossan - who all scored 10 times for the side."I want more. I'm not satisfied with what I've got. I want to go and get more," he said. "The performances need to get better too."It's not just about the goals, they're a key part of my game, but I've got to get a lot better in games, keeping possession of the ball, and helping the team that way."

Michael O'Neill: Northern Ireland feeling positive ahead of World Cup qualifiers
Michael O'Neill believes Northern Ireland should look to the World Cup qualifying campaign with optimism after their final friendly warm-up ended in a 1-0 win over Iceland, despite a red card for Brodie Spencer. Isaac Price fired O'Neill's side in front after 36 minutes and later made a key goal-line clearance as Northern Ireland won a match in which they finished with 10 men for the first time since the famous victory over Spain in 1982. It was perhaps not the match O'Neill had envisaged going into the night as Northern Ireland spent the vast majority of the final half-an-hour defending following Spencer's dismissal, but the win felt more significant given it came in the face of adversity. O'Neill will take the positives from that as he turns attention to September's qualifiers away to Luxembourg and Germany. 'We approach it in a good place and we approach it with optimism,' O'Neill said of the qualifying campaign. 'I think there's a belief in there that, yes, we will be able to go and take points at this level. We look forward to it.' O'Neill's squad remains both young and in large parts inexperienced. Twelve of the 25-man squad for Tuesday's game were 21 or under, and more than half remain in single figures for the number of caps they have. Having been drawn alongside Germany, Slovakia and Luxembourg in Group A, Northern Ireland's realistic target is second place and a play-off spot, but O'Neill's optimism extends well beyond the next six games. 'I know the team will continue to progress beyond the World Cup campaign,' he said. 'It's just natural that the team will continue to progress. The more they play international football, the better they'll get at it. 'That's all they need – they need more and more exposure, they need more minutes under their belts. Will the world Cup campaign come too soon for this group? I don't know. The proof will be in the games.' As had been expected ahead of the fixture, Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Denmark in Copenhagen showed where Northern Ireland need to improve out of possession. Spencer's red card turned Tuesday's friendly into a similar exercise for much of the second half. When asked what his main takeaways from the week were, O'Neill said: 'I think we're going to go into games where we're going to come under a lot of pressure, teams that will come and press us. 'We have to be better than what we've shown in both Copenhagen and then here in terms of how we deal with that. But the other side of our team is our ability to play on the counter-attack, our ability to run without the ball, our desire in our shape and structure. 'We've a lot of things, when we look at the two games, where we'll find a lot of positives. But we're always looking for it to get better. This is still very early in the progression of this team.'
