Santa Claus (& John Derian) Coming to Town

John Derian for Target

Decoupage master John Derian has been doing wonderful collaborations with Target since 2008. You may recall recent Halloween and Thanksgiving collabs that were fantastic. His latest one for the upcoming holidays may be my favorite ever. It is like walking into his fabulous shop in NOHO in NYC but at much nicer prices. It launches overnight tonight at 3 a.m. EDT. From pillows to lamps to linens to ornaments and more, this launch is amazing. And many many items are under $15. 

There are pieces for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas (and Christmas gift giving too). Not sure if you need to be up at 3 a.m. or not - in the past, yes as some items sold out. But I highly recommend shopping online with free shipping for $35 orders or more as opposed to lining up on Sunday morning in person with people grabbing everything to resell online. Save this post to quickly go to the items you want when you do shop.

Perhaps his most collectible Target piece ever was his life size Halloween skeleton from several years ago. I so regret not getting one - they sell on eBay for huge prices. Well, he has brought skelly back and he is now donning a removable Santa hat. So I will have him out for Halloween sans hat and put his Santa hat on for Christmas. I suspect this piece will sell out first. I will put him in my cart first for sure.
