Shoppers are obsessed with this $15 find–and here’s why you need it too

A recent release from a well-known brand has shoppers buzzing, with many scrambling to get their hands on something unexpected.
What started as a simple addition to their collection has quickly turned into a must-have craze.
As social media lights up with excitement, it’s clear this latest trend is more than just a passing fancy.
The Reject Shop recently turned heads with its unexpected American Diner collection, grabbing attention across social media for its quirky, retro-inspired pieces.
This launch came as Pinterest’s 2025 Trend Report revealed that the 'cream soda aesthetic' saw a 105 per cent rise over the last year, highlighting a growing fascination with nostalgic designs.
The range featured milk and juice carton-inspired jugs, cheeseburger mugs, chip baskets, sauce bottles, coffee tins, and bread tins.
It also expanded on the success of last year's Strawberry Delight collection, which sold out quickly.
Social media users shared their excitement for the products, with many expressing surprise at the brand’s unexpected offerings.
Jen Rothwell, known as @jen.rothwell online, urged her followers to visit The Reject Shop, calling the collection ‘the cutest range of homeware and trinkets all under $15’.
‘I could have easily purchased everything but I restrained myself,’ she added.

‘I want everything in that store,’ one fan commented.
Another said: ‘It’s not a want, it’s a need.’
One social media user cheered: ‘Eeeek yes! I have the strawberry, watermelon and lemon plate.’
Someone else reflected: ‘Growing up is literally becoming obsessed with The Reject Shop.’
One fan from the Northern Territory lamented, ‘Crying in Northern Territory cause we don’t have a The Reject Shop.’
Others expressed disbelief, saying they ‘never knew’ The Reject Shop offered decor like this.
There were also calls for the brand to bring its products to New Zealand.
A spokesperson for The Reject Shop explained that the brand loves home decor that adds personality to spaces.
‘We’re always experimenting with quirky and unique homewares ranges. We love home decor that gives a colourful personality to spaces, inspiring our customers to take fun risks with their interior design while remaining on a budget,’ the spokesperson said.
The company noticed a surge in food-inspired homeware popularity last year and wanted to continue this trend into 2025.
‘The retro vibe of the American Diner range gives our customers that nostalgic feeling of the restaurants we see in Hollywood movies, while our Strawberry Delight collection builds on our Strawberry homewares that sold out quickly last year,’ the spokesperson added.
The brand’s efforts have been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback, especially on social media.
‘Our customers have been sharing content of the ranges across social media, which we’re loving to see,’ they noted.
The spokesperson also encouraged customers to head into stores soon, as the new collections were selling fast.
This isn't the first time The Reject Shop has impressed with its homeware collections.
Last year, the brand launched a cottagecore range, featuring mushroom plates, soap dispensers, salt and pepper shakers, candles, measuring spoons, and mugs.
Social media user @gloomom shared that she picked up a few new cat plates after spotting ‘mushroom and woodland goodness’.
Many were equally impressed with the range.
‘Reject Shop is in their slay era,’ one social media user commented.
Another added: ‘Uh oh… I’m in trouble. I love anything with foxes on it.’
One fan joked: ‘I went today and the lady looked concerned with how much mushroom stuff I had (I was also in a mushroom skirt).’
