Target to Give Away Marcel Wanders Bags On Black Friday

It's a Black Friday free-for-all at Target!

On Black Friday, the first 500 Target shoppers at all Target stores across the country will receive a special free gift. (You'll have to be a real early bird to catch this worm: All 17,000 Target stores will open at 5:00 a.m. this Friday!) The big box chain is giving away limited-edition, reusable shopping bags designed by their designer du jour, Marcel Wanders. As we reported earlier this month, the Dutch designer has created a cheap-chic line of holiday decorations and tabletop items for Target.

Be warned, Target is apparently expecting some serious crowds, despite the weak economy. A press statement about the Marcel Wanders totes noted that, "Store maps will also be handed out to guests upon arrival to help them optimize their Black Friday shopping experience."

This is a gift that will keep on giving throughout the year, Target customers can use their new Marcel Wanders-designed bag (or any reusable bag) to receive a five-cent discount per bag used off their bill as part of Target's ongoing reusable bag program.
