    31 Cheap Things From Target That Are Actually Pretty Darn Genius

    Socks for every day of the week and a personal-sized slow cooker – say no more.

    5. A stylish sherpa blanket to keep you warm during the winter months and still look super chic in the summer, draped on the end of your bed. A blanket is one of those things you don't *really* think you need until you don't have one.

    6. A six-pack of days-of-the-week socks for those people who can never remember what day it is. Now, you have a personal calendar on your feet with cute little graphics to remind you whenever you forget.

    7. A small, Mediterranean-style ceramic table lamp that is the perfect accent piece for your entryway or guest room. It may seem obvious, but having a softer light for bedtime when you don't want the harsh overhead light is necessary.

    8. A sleek refrigerator turntable so you can find everything you need super easily. No more pulling everything out of the fridge just to access that one jar of mayo. Just give this a spin and there it is!

    9. A 10-liter stainless-steel trash can that is slim and tall to fit in tight areas that don't have a lot of room. Slide this under your desk or next to your toilet so it's there when you need it but not in the way.

    10. A professional-style hair dryer to give you salon-looking hair from the comfort of your home. Okay, maybe a professional would do better, but at least you can have somewhat professional-looking hair for under $40.
