I found the best winter gadget at the Reject Shop - and it's only $10
A $10 hot water bottle from The Reject Shop is being hailed as one of the store's best finds yet - and shoppers say they can't get their hands on it fast enough.
The neck and shoulder hot water bottle features a unique U-shaped design, allowing it to comfortably drape across the shoulders without slipping, making it perfect for easing tension and muscle aches.
Content creator Michael Jaimie shared the discovery online, saying it was exactly what he needed for his sore neck.
'It's such a simple idea but it can genuinely benefit so many different people for so many different reasons,' Michael told the Daily Mail.
'A lot of customers at work are always asking for heat packs that don't slip off their shoulders but even care workers often ask for them for their clients.
'I also keep it handy for when I'm editing or working on my laptop to relax my shoulders and neck but it would also work for sore muscles after the gym, someone with chronic pain or even just for relaxing at the end of a long day.
'For $10 I think it's affordable, accessible and cute - I mean hello, it's pink and fluffy!' he said.
Fans have flooded the comments with praise for the product, with some calling it 'the best' hot water bottle they've ever owned.
Others say the design has been a game-changer for staying warm in winter and soothing pain without the awkward balancing act of a traditional bottle.
'I absolutely love mine,' one shopper wrote.
'The U-shape makes it so much more comfortable.'
Another added: 'This is inspiring me to go to The Reject Shop tomorrow - I want the neck warmer!'
But with the hype comes a note of caution.
Several shoppers have urged others to handle hot water bottles carefully, warning of the risk of burns and even explosions if they are filled incorrectly.
'Please be careful with hot water bottles - if air isn't released as you fill it they can explode,' one commenter warned.
'Never use boiling water,' another said.

Others have pointed out the frustration of stock shortages, with one Tasmanian shopper saying they had been to three stores without success.
The U-shaped bottle is particularly popular for people with muscle tension, arthritis, or chronic pain, as it moulds to the neck and shoulders while delivering targeted warmth.
It's also a cosy option for those working from home or watching TV on cold evenings.
With the buzz continuing online, The Reject Shop's $10 neck and shoulder hot water bottle may be the store's most sought-after winter essential yet - if you can find one.
