This post has been sponsored by Target, the opinions expressed are my own. As soon as September hits, I start thinking about fall décor and our fall bucket list. This is a bit humorous considering it is still fairly hot on many September/October days in Northern California. But I love the fall season so much and want to make it last as long as possible (even if the weather does not always agree). This year we added a Sunday tradition of hot cocoa evenings to hang on to our weekends a bit longer. I found everything I needed for this new fall tradition at Target! You can purchase everything you need to make your hot cocoa board night through the affiliate links on this post, I love how many affordable finds there are.
Set The Scene
The seasonal décor at Target is always on trend. I love how affordable the pieces are, making it easy to update our home for fall. An easy way to change up your summer table and transition to fall is with textures and colors. I added a plaid tablecloth with orange tones. Pumpkins are my favorite way to decorate for fall, I love using bowl filler as scatter on the table. This vessel and these leaves made for the perfect centerpiece. As the season changes so does the trend with wood. These mini wooden boards are perfect for fall and they were only $5 each! I will be using these for personal charcuterie boards and more. They worked so well for our hot cocoa boards. This serving board is not too big and perfect for family nights. The pumpkin mugs and bowls upped the cute factor! I couldn’t decide if I liked the white or rust colored pumpkins more, so I mixed and matched.
Ambiance goes beyond the table setting. We strung café lights around our backyard last fall and love the glow it offers at night. The kids love being introduced to the classics and there is no better way to play the classics than on a record player. This HeyDay record player is sleek and modern in its aesthetics and functionality. The turntable has Bluetooth functionality which means that you can hook it up to your speaker outside. This portable speaker is convenient! We have had the Motown #1s (this is a Target exclusive that you can only purchase here or in store at your local Target) playing here nonstop since we picked it up last week.
Hot Cocoa Toppings
Target’s Good & Gather line had everything we needed to make our hot cocoa boards. We even had a little taste test to see which flavor we all loved most. The kids’ favorite was the sea salt caramel, mine was double chocolate and Rob’s was pumpkin spice. We topped off the hot cocoas with whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate chips, cookies and I added some chocolate covered nuts. The kids loved their boards and had so much fun listening to music and drinking their hot cocoa. Love that we can continue this tradition for years to come and without spending a lot of money!
