Target Summer Collection & Fun Finder {Review & Giveaway} CLOSED

This summer has been filled with plenty of memorable moments, most of which have cost little to nothing at all. From playdates at the beach to trail walks to trips to the park, plenty of quality family time has been enjoyed this summer. Target wants to make it even easier for you to come up with fun activities for you and your family with the Target Summer Fun Finder.
This entertaining Facebook application allows you to spin the wheel to discover a fun activity. For example, have a photo safari in your backyard. See how many pictures you can take of different wildlife without ever leaving your yard. This would be fun for children to explore different species and for adults to hone their photography skills and use it as nature lesson for kids!
We had our some fun of our own this past weekend by grilling and eating outside in our gazebo. Target helped out by providing us with some much needed solutions to make our meal even more enjoyable.

This blue flatware container ($11.99) from the Target Summer Collection makes transporting items from the house to our gazebo a breeze. And speaking for breeze, our napkins stayed in one spot throughout the meal despite some wind! This spacious metal caddy is very sturdy and while a bit on the heavy side, I know it will last for years to come! I love the versatility, allowing me to carry condiments as well!

This red chip and dip tray ($9.99), like the blue caddy above, is very sturdy. And while it is a bit heavy it is solid and will be able to handle whatever abuse my family dishes out. I love the covers included both for the top of the entire container and for the dip section in the center. I used it for holding berries which worked great to keep them from rolling around during transport. The covers make it very easy to take this anywhere and also keep them covered from pesky bugs. The only downside is you can’t stack the items as high and use the cover. I recommend gallon sized bags to carry extras if you have a big crowd. This tray would also be perfect for crackers and dip, chips and dip or salsa, veggies or anything you can really think of!

I also received this large serving tray ($11.99). This tray allowed me to carry out items in one trip that would have taken me two and made for super easy cleanup and transport. My favorite feature are the stripes which have a fabulous grip and keep items from moving around.  The colors coordinated perfectly with my blue caddy and red tray!
