The Reject Shop takes on Kmart again with epic new pastel home decor range starting at $7
A wave of pastel pink and bow-covered bliss is sweeping through TikTok, and it's coming from an unexpected place: The Reject Shop.
In her now-popular clip, Two Broke Chicks co-host Alex Hourigan raves about the retailer's latest drop - a hyper-feminine, ultra-aesthetic pink collection that's already got beauty lovers, home organisers, and budget shoppers sprinting to their local store.
'If you love pink, bows, and beauty dupes - then I highly recommend checking out The Reject Shop at the moment,' Alex told followers, panning her camera over an array of blush-toned products.
'They have just dropped an entire pink collection and I keep seeing it all over [social media].'
She singled out standouts like bedazzled flasks, bow-topped storage jars, and bathroom accessories, adding, 'The Reject Shop is entering her dupe era.'
While the retailer is typically known for practical home essentials and seasonal décor, its latest drop is being praised for tapping into one of TikTok's most dominant aesthetics.
The new buys are soft, playful, pink and bow-heavy - think Sol de Janeiro packaging meets a vintage diner crossed with early-2000s coquette-core.
It's a shift that has clearly resonated with Aussie shoppers.
Matching pink canisters for tea, coffee, and biscuits that wouldn't look out of place in a Smeg catalogue also feature in the range, each adorned with subtle vintage details and tight-fitting lids to keep contents fresh
Among the products turning heads is a pastel pink bread bin designed in a retro diner style.
The $20 storage piece brings back mid-century charm while offering practicality for baked goods and kitchen organisation.
Matching pink canisters for tea, coffee, and biscuits that wouldn't look out of place in a Smeg catalogue also feature in the range, each adorned with subtle vintage details and tight-fitting lids to keep contents fresh.
At just $7 and $9 respectively, they're an affordable way to inject some personality and nostalgia into your kitchen.
The collection isn't limited to just functional storage.
For those who want to add a whimsical twist to their décor, the $7 Handbag Vase - available in soft pink and blue - is proving to be a surprise hit.
Shaped like a tiny handbag, it's ideal for showcasing fresh or faux blooms while doubling as a conversation-starting centrepiece.
Even the kitchen utensils have been given the cute treatment, with a three-piece set of mini pink silicone tools priced at only $5.

Compact and practical, they're a sweet addition for anyone who likes their kitchen drawer to be as well-dressed as their wardrobe.
For staying in rather than going out, the Women's Teddy Novelty Cherry Slippers ($9) offer a playful and cosy vibe.
Featuring a teddy-textured design with cherry accents, they've become a fan favourite among those updating their loungewear for the cooler months.
The timing of the drop couldn't be better.
As the Australian winter approaches, many are prepping for local hibernation or, alternatively, jetting off for a European summer.
With everything from pink travel organisers to cute homewares, The Reject Shop's collection is proving useful no matter your plans.
Social media users have been quick to draw comparisons between The Reject Shop's offering and more expensive alternatives.
Several noted that the overall aesthetic of the collection - from the colour palette to the product design - evokes the look and feel of beloved cult brands like Sol de Janeiro, known for their buttery yellows and pink packaging, and Smeg, whose pastel appliances regularly sell for hundreds of dollars.
Though The Reject Shop hasn't formally announced the range as part of a limited-time drop, TikTok's influence means stock may not last long.
With growing interest in 'budget beauty' and home dupes that don't sacrifice style, it seems The Reject Shop has struck the perfect balance between cost and trend.
'This is why I love Aussie discount stores. We get the vibe without spending $300,' one commenter wrote about the new range.

You can choose from 10 different treatments, all for free SKIN WIN The secret way beauty fans are getting a completely FREE facial every single month & their skin has 'never felt better' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FACIALS are a luxury that countless beauty fans have been forced to forgo during the cost of living crisis. So it's no wonder Rachel's admission that she manages to get a 15-minute treatment for FREE every single month has left people stunned. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Rachel took to TikTok to share the savvy way she gets a free facial every month Credit: TikTok 3 Since she started having the facials, her skin has "never looked better" Credit: tiktok/rachellmarshalll 3 There are 10 treatments you can choose from, and you're entitled to one per month from select Clarins beauty counters like this one, in a Sheffield shopping centre Credit: tiktok/rachellmarshalll In a video on her TikTok page, Rachel explained just how she does it, as she headed to the Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield. She showed herself heading to the Clarins beauty counter in the Next Beauty store, as she praised beauty therapist Liv for knowing her skin "way better than I do". "Two years ago I pretty much owned zero skincare," Rachel admitted, adding that she's been on a "pretty transformative skincare journey" since then. She showed Liv working her magic as she sat back and relaxed, and said she insisted you'd "never know" that you were in the middle of a busy department store while getting it done.

While your therapist will recommend some products and give you some samples to take home, Rachel insisted there's "never any pressure to buy anything". Her "10/10" treatment was finished off with a hand massage, and as she headed back to the car she added "I'm convinced my skin has never looked this good!" And unsurprisingly, the comments section on the TikTok was immediately filled with people thanking Rachel for sharing the free service. "This is the first time I've heard about this service, I've booked my first one in Meadowhall for next week," one wrote. "I had a facial last month with Liv. She is the best!" another added. 'Love these' shoppers cry as Primark launches new skincare range with £3.50 masks & SPF & it'll save you hundreds on the viral brand "You've made my day, off to Meadowhall I trot," a third said. "I never knew this was a thing!" someone else exclaimed. "I have now booked a much needed facial thanks to you!" "Omg I need this in my life!!! Never knew this was a thing," another wrote. There are 10 free treatments to choose from, all of which last for 15 minutes, but Rachel said the one she always recommends is the Feel Good Moment one. The treatments can be booked online, although counters occasionally have to temporarily close their diaries due to demand. You're entitled to one free treatment per month.

My son was invited to a pal's party but his mum then lied & said it was cancelled – now people are saying it's MY fault
Sarah's son was left "really upset" by the party mix up PARTY POOPER My son was invited to a pal's party but his mum then lied & said it was cancelled – now people are saying it's MY fault Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM was left fuming when she was told that a party her son had been invited to was cancelled - only to find that it wasn't. Sarah explained that her son was invited to a friend's birthday, so she texted the parents and accepted on his behalf. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Mum Sarah was left fuming when she discovered a party she'd been told had been cancelled went ahead - without her son Credit: TikTok/@momof_4our_ 2 Her son was left "really upset" that he wasn't able to attend the party, and Sarah slammed the mother for her "disgusting behaviour" Credit: Alamy However, because she's "crap at texting people", she only got round to RSVP-ing a "couple of weeks later". And when she finally messaged, the mum of the birthday boy responded to say that the party had actually been cancelled. She then found out that the celebration had gone ahead, after her son received a whole load of text messages from his friends asking why he wasn't there. "Why invite my child to a party if you're gonna pretend it's not on anymore?" Sarah raged. She concluded by saying that her son had been left "really upset" by the situation, which she labelled "disgusting behaviour". "Honestly cannot believe I've even had to make this video," she wrote in the caption of a clip explaining the situation on TikTok. And while there were those who agreed with Sarah's anger, the majority of people hit back insisting she was in the wrong because of her late RSVP. "To be honest this is on you," one wrote. "It's infuriating that parents do not respond for weeks. "I had someone turn up at my sons party the RSVPed no which was absolutely fine. I said yes to my three-year-old going to a friend's party then the 'gift requirements' were sent out & I was floored "I had enough also had three people turn up that never even bothered to answer the invitation, which is quite rude. "Parties cost a lot of money it takes two seconds to reply. Yes you're coming or no I can't come." "Should have replied earlier," another agreed. "It's so annoying when parents don't text back for numbers and parents have to pay according to numbers - they probably meant your invite was cancelled because you didn't reply." "There's nothing more frustrating than not getting responses back from invites," a third sighed. "As a parent who spent between £500-£1000 per party for my children when they were younger, it was a total bugbear of mine when parents didn't reply timely. Average kid's birthday cost for parents According to a new study from the UK's leading money-saving brand, Voucher Cloud, over two thirds of British parents throw their children a birthday party every single year - and the costs can be high. Average spend on party - £320.50 Average spend on presents - £175.80 "Granted, she should have been honest and just said the numbers had been confirmed and it was too late. "However it's just courtesy from your side to reply sooner rather than later." "You replied weeks late," someone else pointed out. "Maybe they felt bad saying they can no longer come so just said it's cancelled?" "This is completely on you," another agreed. "She should have been honest with you but him being excluded is your fault." There were also those that agreed with Sarah that the mum had behaved terribly in saying the party had been cancelled. "That's absolutely horrible!!! I'm so sorry!" one wrote. "I would have confronted the mother, that;s not okay - poor children," another said. As a third admitted: "I would have had to text the mum and ask why she lied, I wouldn't be able to help myself!" To which Sarah replied: "I did... she didn't respond!" "There is right and wrong on both sides," someone else said, diplomatically. "You should have replied sooner and she should have been honest."
