'Obsessed with them': The $12 Kmart buy Aussie mum wishes she snapped up earlier
I will start this by saying I am very easily influenced when it comes to any product that'll make my life more organised, but this is one thing I am so happy I got sucked into.
Any parent knows there's just a lot of stuff you need to have on hand, from nappies and wipes to something to keep a toddler busy, or even just somewhere to store a toy that has heaps of little bits.
This is where Kmart has come to the rescue with its $12 two-pack of clear packing cubes – and I can safely say I am obsessed with them.

These have been popping off on my social media feeds for months, and after finally biting the bullet and buying a set, I am questioning why I didn't do it sooner.
The clear cases are made of a reasonably hard plastic, meaning they won't get crushed in your handbag or if you just throw them into the back of the car, and they are the perfect size for nappies.
After seeing so many mums online raving about them, I bought a set – in pink, because my Kmart was out of the clear ones – and can confirm they are the best size for a few nappies.

In one case I've got a handful of nappies, a disposable change table mat, nappy bags and, of course, a small packet of wipes.
It's the perfect size to throw in a handbag if I'm swapping them, or give to my husband to put in a backpack because – shockingly – he won't use anything too "girly" when he takes our daughter out.
The other one has only recently become a favourite thing to have on hand when we go out.

I've filled this one with some bits of paper, crayons and some stickers, perfect for keeping a toddler happy – and occupied – while sitting at a cafe table waiting for food to arrive.
I'm not the only one raving about them, though.
Aside from the mums on TikTok who keep singing the praises of these little storage bags, they've got cracker reviews too.

On the Kmart website, they've only had five-star reviews so far.
"Best Kmart Purchase EVER. Versatile & Affordable option for storage of games, activities, storing bits and bobs in the car or nappy bag," commented one mum.
Another person wrote, "Good for now, those are great but unsure how they will hold – time will tell."
Regardless, I am heading back to my local store to pick up a couple more – and if you're struggling to find them like I was at the start, they're in the aisle with the travel gadgets and bags.
Any excuse to go to Kmart, right?
