While most are familiar with Kmart’s ‘viral’ array of home decor buys and clothing dupes, those in the know are heading to what might be the store’s most underrated aisle: the tech department.
Perfect for crafting a dream home office, the tech offerings span across affordable chargers, mood lighting, gamer-quality keyboards, cord organisers, desks and even mobile phones.
The best part? They start from as little as $10.
Here we’ve rounded up what we believe to be the hottest buys for 2025 and they’re guaranteed to give your home an instant ‘designer’ glow-up on a very reasonable budget.
THREE-IN-ONE KEYBOARD SET, $35
Styled off the three to four-figure gamer keyboards offered elsewhere this buy isn’t just practical but it looks great and includes a mouse and mouse pad.
Available in a variety of on-trend colours, this bargain buy is brand new in store and will add a playful pop to any space in the home.
It’s also great for sprucing up teen rooms, kids’ study areas and bland corporate desks.
TWO-IN-ONE PORTABLE LAMP AND CHARGING BASE, $10
Nobody can believe the price of this little find.
The Mirabella-run gadget is a versatile solution that combines a wireless phone charger with a rechargeable and portable LED desk lamp.
It boasts colour-changing features and adjustable light settings so you can switch between bright, cool light for focused work or warm light for a relaxed ambience.
It also has a 10W charging base to avoid clutter; everything you need is in one neat package.
THREE-IN-ONE MAGNETIC WIRELESS CHARGER, $39
Just as it sounds, this is the ultimate solution for a hassle-free quick charging experience.
‘Outstanding! Works like a charm for all three devices. Excellent value,’ a happy customer raved recently.
While a little more pricey than your typical Kmart bargain, this has shoppers gushing every time they purchase it.
With an adjustable height range, the desk provides a seamless transition and moves with the help of a gas lift lever.
The range is 12.5cm – 50cm and sits neatly on top of your existing desk. It also has a separate keyboard and mouse tray to ensure a tidy, organised space.
‘I am so happy with both the price and quality of this desk which perfectly compliments my home office – it is very smart in black colour, and at such a competitive price,’ one shopper raved recently.
‘I love this. So affordable. Light and easy to put together. It raises easily and plenty of space for monitors and laptop,’ another wrote.
Despite other versions on the market costing as much as $2,000, this USB-powered multicolour LED corner light is under $30.
It boasts a 25-key remote control to choose colours or modes to light up your living space and makes for a cosy, modern addition to any space in the home.
‘I gifted this light. They love it! The room feels so much more inviting and now a creative space for hanging with friends,’ a shopper said.
‘I have been using two of these lights. Those who wants to make their TV, theatre, study rooms or any other room more ambient this is the perfect choice at lower price,’ another said.
SMART WI-FI LED SUNSET LIGHT, $27
This viral style of light has been selling for thousands of dollars around the world. So at $27, why wouldn’t you?
Easily the most popular purchase in this department in late 2024, this light will transform any space into a calming oasis with varying shades of ‘sunlight’.
‘I really like the light so far, it’s bright and brings out the ambience in my living room. It connects to the wifi and I can control it on my phone which is very convenient,’ one user said.
‘I have set it up such a way that it automatically turns on at dusk and turns off at 11:30pm. I don’t have to remember to turn it off at night!’
Another wrote: ‘It’s a neat little light, a lot smaller than I imagined but it adds to a room and is perfect for mood lighting. I use it all the time at my office desk or when I have a bath. Definitely recommended.’
Another practical bargain, this laminator does the exact same job as its pricey competitors at a seriously low price.
While perfect for office workers, it’s also been a huge hit with parents and caregivers who are looking for ways to entertain the kids.
‘I’m a home schooling mum and have created loads of games and work that this laminator has been used for,’ one said.
‘It’s still working like the day I got it, and has easily been through 300 laminating sheets. I would highly recommend and I will happily purchase again. Amazing price, great value for money and does the job perfectly!’
