It’s only mid-September, but it’s never too early to get excited about the holiday season.

Target is getting shoppers excited about the holidays with the release of its annual Bullseye’s Top Toys list. Starting in mid-October, the retail giant announced that FAO Schwarz-branded toys will be available at Target stores, Target.com, and FAO Schwarz locations.

Target's new holiday toy collection features over 120 toys ranging in price from $9.99-$149.99, including 50 toys under $20. The retail giant is the latest company to include affordable toys for its new collection. Last month, Walmart released their holiday toy list highlighted by items under $25.
