Forget X-mas; Target's already moved on to Valentine's Day

The "holiday creep" has happened even earlier this year.  Some of you may remember my Jan. 2, 2012 post when I reported that on last New Year's Eve (12/31/11) I had already spied Valentine's Day merchandise up at Target.  Well, the Bullseye seems to be at it again, as The Consumerist is reporting that as of Dec. 19th, Reader "L" sent in this photographic evidence (shown here) of a Valentine's endcap at her Florida Target store.  

But I guess it could be worse.  Reader "Katie" sent in a note & picture to The Consumerist yesterday that before Christmas, she had already seen Easter candy stocked at her local Stop & Shop.

TOTALLY saw Valentine's stuff at Target today in the housewares endcap area. Did a double-take.

Today when I was there, they had all the Valentine's cards set up!!! I could not believe my eyes! I use to get annoyed with Target, because they use to wait so long to put out Valentines stuff out, but this is scary early now. Feast or famine I suppose!

I finally went to my local Target today (after about a 6 day absence) and not only are all the Valentine's day cards up already (in the stationery dept.) but I saw a special "Baby Valentine" endcap in the infant aisle with V-Day onsies, t-shirts, socks, etc.
