Target Warms Up for a ‘Happy Summer’


Target presents a unique selection of home and garden products to celebrate the season

MINNEAPOLIS (March, 2007) — Enjoy the summer months in style with the Happy Summer collection from Target®.  To ensure guests enjoy the sunniest months of the year, Target introduces chic new wares for backyard living, entertaining, gardening and hitting the beach.
 
For outdoor entertainers, the 2007 collection offers trend-right and eye-catching décor, dinnerware, outdoor furniture and accessories, as well as a refreshing look at familiar favorites. 
 
Turn a backyard barbecue into an elegant gathering with the exclusive Smith & Hawken for Target collection featuring a classic wood patio furniture set, colorful ceramic pots, planters and colorful doormats.  Indulge your guests by hosting an old-fashioned dessert party made complete with s’mores or ice cream makers.  Or, spruce up the garden with new products from the Sean Conway collection, known for beautiful and uncomplicated designs, including animal topiaries, candleholders and a birdhouse.
 
“Summer is a fun and exciting time and Target believes the theme of ‘Happy Summer’ truly captures the spirit of the season,” said Gina Sprenger, senior vice president, merchandising, Target.  “The collection offers guests easy and affordable ways to decorate and celebrate in style this summer season.”
 
Water bugs will be delighted to discover the summer collection offers everything needed for a fun day at the beach or pool.  New products for 2007 include supersized beach towels, trendy flip flops and beach bags in vibrant colors, plus stylish straw hats that protect from the hot summer rays.
 
Playtime for the little ones will have an added value of fun with new ways to stay busy on summer vacation.  The young entrepreneur can set up a lemonade stand while budding chefs can prepare make-believe barbeques on the PlayWonder™ grill for a delicious spread on the PlayWonder picnic table.  And, imaginative author David Kirk is back with a new collection—this year with Owlford owl-motif toys and accessories to charm kids of all ages.
 
The Happy Summer collection and seasonal summer products will be available at Target stores this spring, with select items available online at Target.com.  The always affordable prices for trend-forward summer products range from $0.99 to $649.97.
