When it comes to all things cute, Target is the only place to go. We’ve found 10 of the most charming mugs from the red-dot boutique that you’ll definitely want when cozying up at home and avoiding the frigid weather.

Before You Go

Etsy Editor's Picks
Merino wool kids’ balaclava(01 of26)
Open Image Modal
“I previously hyped this adorable balaclava in our October editor’s picks story when I had just purchased it, and now that the temperatures have dropped significantly, my 16-month-old wears it daily. (I got her the size small.) I haven't been able to convince my almost-three-year-old to wear hers, unfortunately, so I’ve started wearing it, and I can vouch for the fact that the stretchy, cozy merino wool is warm, non-itchy, and (as you can imagine) accommodating to a variety of head sizes, as the size medium I bought for her also fits me. I’d definitely recommend this as an affordable, handmade gift for any child or grown-up.” — Emily Ruane, shopping managing editor (credit:Etsy/MerinoSeason)
A 9K gold initial pendant necklace(02 of26)
Open Image Modal
“I looove this London-based Etsy seller for minimal, highly affordable gold jewelry. (In addition to this necklace, I have a beaded stacking ring in mixed silver and solid gold that I've worn every single day for the past two years.) A personalized pendant necklace like this one is a no-brainer gift, and it’s hard to find one in actual gold at a more competitive price. The price starts at $57 for the single pendant, but you can get it on a 16” inch 9K gold chain starting at just $96.” — Ruane (credit:Etsy/AMetalStory)
Handmade earrings from Pache Studio(03 of26)
Open Image Modal
“Last year, I gave one of my close friends this pair of polymer clay earrings and she loved them! They’re handmade by Juliana Pache, the owner of the Etsy store. There are many styles and colors to choose from and they’re safe for sensitive ears.” — Kristen Adaway, shopping writer (credit:PacheStudio at Etsy)
Two succulent pots(04 of26)
Open Image Modal
"I purchased this set of ceramic pots with matching trays for myself a couple of years ago and I absolutely love them, especially for how reasonably priced they are. They are made with a sturdy glazed clay and are the perfect size for housing plants that are in that awkward in-between stage when they are too big for small first-growth pots, but too small for larger planters." — Tessa Flores, shopping writer (credit:TheNextGardenerInc at Etsy)
Custom "Real Housewives" wine tumbler(05 of26)
Open Image Modal
"In all my years of watching 'Housewives' I never really wanted to be one. (I just want to be a person in the background eating a salad while Jen Shah loses it on someone.) But I couldn't resist these Tumblrs where I could finally make 'The Real Housewives of Barrington Downs' a reality. Named for the horse-racing-themed subdivision I grew up in as a teen in suburban North St. Louis County, I'm so proud to sip my tea while imagining my dearly departed mother and her neighbors having fights over party-planning and play dates in the 'iconic' neighborhood just outside of Florissant, Missouri." — Danielle Belton, editor-in-chief (credit:CRUCupsStore on Etsy)
Dried floral coasters(06 of26)
Open Image Modal
"Life is too short to have eyesores in your home, so I recently swapped out my old, plain drink coasters for these gorgeous dried flower ones. They elevate my bedside table and desk with a pop of color, and the flowers make me feel like a little botanic spring-time fairy. I’ve gotten so many compliments on them!" — Gina Escandon, audience editor (credit:theArtKarma)
Plants from JacquelineHomeGarden(07 of26)
Open Image Modal
"I've bought a lot of plants on Etsy, but the experiences I've had with the seller JacquelineHomeGarden have always been a cut above. Each one has arrived healthy and whole, packaged safely, and right on time. Don't just take my word for it, though: She's labeled a 'star seller' for having 'an outstanding track record for providing a great customer experience.' Despite the distance between her shop in California and my home in Florida, I've never had issues with plants arriving wilted or sad." — Janie Campbell, senior editor (credit:JacquelineHomeGarden on Etsy)
2-in-1 kitchen helper tower(08 of26)
Open Image Modal
"I purchased this for my 1.5-year-old, who wants to be involved in the kitchen but is getting a bit too big to carry while I cook! It also flips into a toddler table where she can eat and do crafts." — Abigail Williams, head of audience (credit:SweetHOMEfromwood)
Personalized croc leather shopper(09 of26)
Open Image Modal
"After a couple of years of working at home, I needed to refresh my work bag situation when we switched to the hybrid office model. I spotted this large leather tote on a friend and knew it was the one. It's made of ultra-soft textured leather, is incredibly roomy and can be personalized with your initials, which I love. It's big enough to carry a laptop, makeup bag, a sweater and whatever I happen to pick up throughout my day. It's lightweight, elegant and looks good with just about any outfit. I've even used it as a carry-on for flights with great success. I have it in black, but it comes in a variety of colors that are chic and modern. I always recommend it to people who need a new work bag." — Lourdes Avila Uribe, senior shopping writer (credit:LoverOfLuxe on Etsy)
Headache and eye rice bag(10 of26)
Open Image Modal
"I love these rice bags, especially in the winter. A couple minutes in the microwave and they help with headaches, cold feet, sore muscles, and more. Plus, there's no cord like on a heating pad, and no worry of leaks, like with a hot water bottle. I've bought several of these on Etsy and I love them, as do my husband and parents." — Paige Lavender, news director (credit:madeforyoubyKT on Etsy)
Engraved leather photo key holder(11 of26)
Open Image Modal
"I bought this keychain with a personalized photo for my husband last year. He loves it because he now has a photo of our toddler nearby at all times. It has lots of personalization options so it could work for various loved ones [to mark] any number of occasions." — Sara Bondioli, senior editor (credit:TimelessLeatherShop on Etsy)
Bird desk calendar(12 of26)
Open Image Modal
"This is my second year buying myself these cute bird desk calendars. It's a perfect thing to have when I'm at my desk and need to figure out a date for something, and seeing the new bird for each month is a cute little surprise. You have the option of buying the calendar with the wood stand or not." — Jillian Capewell, editor (credit:LauraRoyArt at Etsy)
La Croix keychain and pill fob(13 of26)
Open Image Modal
"A dear friend of mine loves La Croix (who doesn't?) and is a big advocate of destigmatizing taking medication for your mental health (iconic!). I gasped when I found CannedGoodsStore on Etsy, which makes these amazing tiny key cans and pill holders of all sorts of alcoholic and non-alcoholic canned drinks as well as fun mini food and items. Saving the mini spray paint in my cart now." — Griffin Wynne, shopping writer (credit:CannedGoodsStore on Etsy)
"Real Housewives" Dorinda tea towel(14 of26)
Open Image Modal
"If you love to entertain (and I LOVE to entertain) and you love "Real Housewives of New York," the tea towels featuring Dorinda Medley's iconic catchphrase are just the right touch to demonstrate you 'made it nice!' without taking someone's head off. And even if your friends don't know Dorinda or her iconic catchphrase, it still works for all hosts with the most." — Belton (credit:ciccioni on Etsy)
Kitschmas Kittens vintage-inspired stocking(15 of26)
Open Image Modal
"Whenever I need a pop of kitsch in my life (which is very often) I know I can always find it at Vinnie Boy Vintage. I have several of his signature pillowcase covers sporting kittens, bows and tons of pink as well as some of his bunting flags. These velvet-textured stockings are next on my list and they should be on yours too if you want to have yourself a merry little Kitschmas." — Flores (credit:vinnieboyvintage at Etsy)
Beach sand earrings from Naturetopia Creations(16 of26)
Open Image Modal
"Last year I got my favorite (and only) aunt a pair of beach sand earrings from Naturetopia Creations with sand from her home state Rhode Island. She lives in Virginia now and I knew she'd love a little piece of home that she could wear. The seller is super kind and helpful, and while these exact earrings are no longer available, there’s sand from beaches literally all over the world (from Martha’s Vineyard to Normandy, France). If you're a beach bum or know someone who loves the ocean, this is a sweet and creative way to give them a beach day all the time." — Wynne (credit:NaturetopiaCreations on Etsy)
Custom Comfort Colors crew neck(17 of26)
Open Image Modal
"Though as a punk teenager, I swore I would never miss my hometown, I do find myself getting pings of nostalgia the older I get, and I find myself wanting to wear something with the town’s [name] on it. However, it's been surprisingly difficult to find a nice, basic, cozy crew neck that isn't from my high school or my town's field hockey team. I wished for a Comfort Color crew neck, with a washed-in color that looks almost vintage [and] the town name in block letters, so you can imagine my glee when I found CustomComfortColors, which makes exactly that." — Wynne (credit:CustomComfortColors on Etsy)
Cool Uncles Club sweatshirt(18 of26)
Open Image Modal
"Got this for my brother-in-law!" — Williams (credit:LakeHouseDesignArt on Etsy)
Cat tarot posters(19 of26)
Open Image Modal
"I have not purchased anything from this shop yet, but I love everything in it. LOOK at this CAT!!!!!" — Capewell (credit:PingHattaStudio on Etsy)
Old English name necklace(20 of26)
Open Image Modal
"I have a pretty solid collection of cheap name plates and word necklaces and have tried a bunch of different sellers on Etsy. Some fall apart and turn green in two seconds, while others, like my 'Philadelphia' necklace from LenaPersonalized, deserve a standing ovation. For under $20, it's a knockout piece that's been showered with, pulled on, twisted up in the bottom of a duffle bag and lord knows what else." — Wynne (credit:LenaPersonalized on Etsy)
New home ornament(21 of26)
Open Image Modal
"This is a great personalized option for anyone celebrating the holidays in a new home!" — Williams (credit:XmasDecoArt at Etsy)
Wood burn earrings(22 of26)
Open Image Modal
"We do a HuffPost secret Santa (I know, super cute), and last year I got these awesome wood-burned earrings for my person, who said she loved statement earrings and spending time outside. I love the wood burn because it gives you such cool patterns and interesting shapes, while still being neutral in color. The shop has a ton of premade earrings but they do custom orders as well." — Wynne (credit:RoxAllNiteArtCo on Etsy)
Embroidered collar fleece sweatshirt(23 of26)
Open Image Modal
"I got this for my mother-in-law with her granddaughters' names embroidered on the collar!" — Williams (credit:bffsandbabes at Etsy)
Heavy linen sheet set(24 of26)
Open Image Modal
"This was a major, major splurge for me, but I have absolutely zero regrets. I love linen sheets, but wanted a set that was thicker and felt a little more durable than the sheets I already owned. Thanks to a tip in the comments section of a review site, I found these incredibly silky, luxuriously soft premium Italian linen sheets that are 300 grams per square meter, almost twice as densely woven as the French flax linen sheets I bought from a major retailer, from the highly reviewed Etsy seller Lina Plus Home. Lina is based in Lithuania, so there was extra lead time for shipping, but everything about these luxurious sheets makes me deeply happy every night when I get into bed, and she was a joy to communicate with when I had a question about availability and sizing. These particular sheets come in white, off-white, flax and oatmeal, though she has other bedding in different weights in more colors. Really can't recommend her beautiful linens enough." — Campbell (credit:LinaPlusHome)
Sterling silver gold plated class ring(25 of26)
Open Image Modal
"My mom has always worn a really simple gold class ring from her college and last year I looked into getting myself one. The prices at the actual college ring place were engagement ring level, so I took to Etsy to find a quality piece that would last a while but not cost more than $100. My ring from nidajewelers is sterling silver but gold plated. It's been worn in the shower, ocean and otherwise and hasn't tarnished. I really love it and I find myself wearing it often. I will note, I got the medium and it's kind of a statement-size ring, so if you're looking for something dainty definitely go with the small." — Wynne (credit:nidajewelers on Etsy)
Solid walnut key rack(26 of26)
Open Image Modal
"I wanted a well-made (and pretty) place to hang my keys in my entryway so I ordered this key hook. It has exceeded my expectations — it’s sturdy, super well made and made of gorgeous wood." — Jillian Wilson, wellness reporter (credit:HomeDecorbyDC on Etsy)
