It’s time to admit that summer has left us and won’t be returning for several months.
So, for now we’re stuck rugging ourselves up to make it through winter.
Some may say that everyone is being a bit dramatic, that it doesn’t get that cold here in Australia, but those people are wrong – it’s absolutely freezing here at the moment.

For those sane people who are feeling the cold, it may seem like there’s no hope, that you’ve tried everything under the sun to keep yourself warm but nothing seems to work.
But obviously, you haven’t been to Kmart lately.
An Aussie woman on TikTok has taken to the platform to share her struggles keeping warm in the office and what she’s used to solve it.

“It was absolutely freezing in the office this morning, so cold,” Britt Bevan began.
“My hands were that cold I couldn’t type an email.”

Bevan explained that by 9:10 AM it had gotten to the point where she couldn’t take it anymore, deciding to head to Kmart and see if there was anything to solve the issue.
She came across the perfect product.
Not only did Bevan find herself a heated throw blanket for $42, but she also found a desktop heater to warm up her frozen hands.

“Kmart has really come through with these desk heaters,” she said.
“Highly recommend this heater because it was $12 and it actually worked really well.”
One follower commented: “The sign I needed to pick one up for the office! It’s either too hot or too cold in there, I already have a blanket but this would be a game changer.”
You don’t need to use it the whole day, just those arctic few minutes when you get in fans say.
The Kmart desktop heater is 18.7cm high, 11.7cm wide, and 10.3cm deep – making ideal to park up next to your keyboard.
It has an adjustable nozzle and a safety fuse, operating on standard 230-240V power to deliver between 550 and 600 watts of warmth.
So, if you’re just as cold as the rest of us and have been considering whether or not it would be weird to wear a pair of gloves at your desk, maybe head into Kmart before jumping to such extreme measures.
