From cheap to chic—how The Reject Shop’s new line stole homewares fans’ hearts

If you haven’t strolled through The Reject Shop lately, you might want to grab your reusable shopping bag and make a beeline for your nearest store. 

Once known as the place to pick up a cheap mop or a last-minute birthday card, The Reject Shop has quietly transformed into a homewares haven—and their latest range has shoppers absolutely starry-eyed. 

The new collection, inspired by all things cosmic, celestial, and zodiac, is already causing a stir on social media. 

Think tableware, cushions, mirrors, and candles, all starting at a wallet-friendly $2.50. The vibe? Whimsical, a little bit retro, and totally on-trend. It’s the kind of range that makes you want to redecorate your lounge room, even if you only popped in for dishwashing liquid.

Social media is abuzz with excitement. Social media user @gloomom’s video tour of the new range has racked up nearly 10,000 likes and thousands of saves in just a few days. Her caption says it all: ‘Gold, whimsy loving astrology girlies this is your time.’ 

And judging by the comments, she’s not alone. ‘To the reject shop I go,’ one user declared, while another admitted, ‘Well, I wasn’t planning on spending $50 at the reject shop but here I go I guess.’

So, what’s got everyone so excited? Let’s take a closer look at some of the standout pieces:

  • Cosmic Glass Mugs: At just $5.50 each, these mugs come in three dreamy moon and sun designs. Perfect for your morning cuppa or a late-night hot chocolate under the stars.
  • Zodiac Coasters: Ceramic, stylish, and just $2.50 each, these are a must for anyone who knows their rising sign off by heart.
  • Celestial Dip Plates and Embossed Bowls: Add a pop of colour to your table with dip plates in red and yellow ($3 each) and bowls in pink and yellow ($6 each).
  • Candle Collection: Choose from two-wick metallic candles featuring New York or Paris skylines ($8 each), or go for the two-wick stone candles ($12 each) with crystal shapes embedded in the wax—almost too pretty to burn.
  • Jewellery Storage: The cosmic metal jewellery stand ($9) and velvet beaded jewellery box ($10) are as practical as they are pretty, available in rich purples and blues.

Shoppers are calling the range ‘whimsical’ and ‘so ‘90s’, and some are even lamenting how quickly it’s arrived after the Alice In Wonderland-inspired ‘Mad as a Hatter’ collection. 

‘Nooo. I haven’t finished buying the mushroom stuff,’ one fan wrote. Another added, ‘I went in looking for the mushroom stuff!’ It seems The Reject Shop is keeping us all on our toes.

And it’s not just this collection. In the past year, The Reject Shop has released a regency-inspired range, a pink storage and utensils collection, and a cottagecore Easter range full of adorable bunnies. 

The pace of new, on-trend releases has left many wondering: when did The Reject Shop become the best homewares store in Australia?

One shopper summed it up: ‘They are absolutely smashing it lately. I’ve changed my home decor twice already.’ Another joked, ‘The reject shop is 110% underrated. We need to gate keep hahah.’

It’s clear The Reject Shop is no longer just a discount store—it’s a destination for affordable, stylish homewares that let you refresh your space without breaking the bank. 

Whether you’re a die-hard astrology fan, a lover of all things celestial, or just looking for a fun way to update your home, this new range is well worth a look.
