I just found a $65 Kmart buy that transformed my home in seconds – and it’s perfect for cosy nights in

Winter is well and truly on its way, and one Kmart shopper has found the ultimate hack to beat the chill – without breaking the bank.

The $65 Modern Fireplace Heater has gone viral online for its cosy charm and clever functionality, giving Aussie homes that warm, crackling fireplace vibe without the real flames (or the sky-high renovation bill).

One fan called it the ‘ultimate hack’ for transforming their living room in seconds.

The free-standing heater has quickly become a cold-weather favourite thanks to its sleek black design, glowing LED flame, and gentle warmth.

It boasts two heat settings (low and high), a thermal cutoff safety feature, and realistic log effects that flicker just like the real thing – minus the mess or smoke.

‘Cute and cosy,’ one shopper commented.

‘It gives my room such a warm glow without having to actually light anything,’ a second said.

‘It’s so worth it, I definitely recommend,’ an Aussie mum wrote.  

Another added: ‘I love the ambiance and colour of the light – it feels like I’m in a cabin in the mountains.’

Designed to suit almost any room, this electric fireplace is the ultimate winter addition for renters and homebodies alike.

Whether you’re curling up with a good book or setting the scene for a Netflix binge, it adds just the right amount of soft light and warmth to take the edge off those frosty nights.

Even fans of Kmart’s other portable buys are getting in on the action.

‘I love the mini air con one,’ one person chimed in.

‘It looks like this but it’s white and the display is ice cubes!’

But for lovers of all things snug and stylish, the fireplace heater is clearly the winner this winter.

So if you’ve been dreaming of a glowing hearth without the cost of installation, this $65 gem might just be your new best friend.

But the heater is not the only winter item Kmart lovers are obsessed with.

The budget retailer’s $18 Relaxed Jumper has exploded in popularity after a TikTok clip showcasing the comfy piece amassed hundreds of thousands of views – with shoppers declaring they’re ‘obsessed’ with the chic, oversized style.

Available in six timeless neutral shades, including black and oatmeal, the Relaxed Jumper has been praised for its slouchy but stylish fit, soft feel, and wear-with-anything design – with many insisting it rivals jumpers triple the price.

‘They are so comfortable,’ one gushed.

‘I bought the same two colours – love them!’ another added.

Available in sizes six to 20, it really is the ideal seasonal buy – and flatters every body shape.

Thanks to its simple design, the Relaxed Jumper can be dressed up with wide-leg jeans and boots for a chic daytime look or paired with leggings and sneakers for effortless off-duty style.

‘I recommend sizing up 1-2 sizes for an oversized look,’ said TikToker Tenielle Hamlin, for those who enjoy layering garments.
