Ah, academia, I remember thee well. Permanently toeing my overdraft, surviving on cheap filter coffee and a healthy diet of sandwiches and fries, and who can forget the daily prayers for my laptop to survive the semester? If only I’d been more diligent at shopping in the Christmas sales, I might have had a better time.
If you’re shopping for a student in your life, you’re in luck; there are some excellent deals this year on everything from compact and effective appliances to study-ready laptops, meaning budding academics can live a little more comfortably. To help you choose, I’ve trawled through the best deals I could find in Target’s Christmas deals.
The best part of all? Everything I’ve listed below can arrive before Christmas and is on offer right now at Target – though it’s worth checking as availability can vary by region.
