Australian shoppers have discovered a $5 Kmart item that is a “must have” for every home – and the bargain has been flying off the shelves.
The mini flower block series includes a varied selection of flowers that you can make with plastic bricks.
Many have compared Kmart’s construction toys to Legos, which can cost between $15 and $40 for similar small designs.
Shoppers have dubbed shopping for home decor the “perfect” Christmas gift or date night activity.
Buildable flowers for $5 also make a wonderful gift for people with allergies.
The economical series has four designs: sunflower, rainbow flower, chrysanthemum and rose.
Some of the more expensive versions come with vases to display the flowers.
“I bought a bunch of individual flowers and a vase for my mother, who is allergic to flowers,” one young woman shared.

Shoppers have called the purchase the “perfect” Christmas gift or date night activity.
Others shared their thoughts on affordable online shopping.
“I’m in love, I need to buy this now,” said one.
“I wish I had this when I was on maternity leave,” one new mom shared.
‘How much do these cost? The Lego brand ones are very expensive,” wrote another.
‘Flowers I can keep alive? It’s a yes from me!’ said one shopper.
Speaking of inexpensive gifts, Target shoppers recently discovered what they claimed to be the “perfect dupe” of a luxury brand.
The fashion blogger behind Kmart Insider found what she believed to be an affordable alternative to French designer brand Van Cleef & Arpels’ jewelry collection, with each piece priced between $4,700 and $7,600.
Target’s purse-friendly bundle, featuring a shamrock charm design and available in three colors (malachite green, onyx black, and pearl), includes a bracelet, necklace, and a pair of earrings for just $20.
The packaging looks strikingly similar to the high-end jewelry collection.
A bracelet would set you back a whopping $7,600, while a necklace costs $4,700 and earrings are priced at $6,850.
Van Cleef & Arpels is widely regarded as one of the world’s most iconic luxury jewelry brands, famous for its signature four-leaf clover design.
Despite the significant price difference, there are key features that the cheaper style lacks.
The designer pieces are made with 18-karat gold and malachite gemstones in distinctive patterns, while Target’s version is gold-plated with stone-like clovers.
Many shoppers were stunned by Target’s “amazing” deal, with many saying it’s a great alternative for those who can’t afford the luxury price.
“Running towards the target,” said one.
“I need them, they are so cute,” another shared.
