It's one of many buys from the department store that have skyrocketed in popularity this month, with a waitlist already forming on the $59 168-pack of graphic markers.
However, many pointed out the key feature that the Kmart version lacks: the expensive markers come with a brush nib for colour blending, while the budget-friendly pens have a chisel tip on one end and a bullet tip on the other.
The $8 sentimental must-have parents are snapping up from Kmart: 'I wish I had one earlier' Parents have discovered the perfect back-to-school buy as they gear up for the first term of 2025.
The markers are particularly popular with graphic designers, artists and creatives because they are a 'dupe' of Copic Sketch Markers, which cost up to $664 for a 72-pack at Officeworks.
The new School Years Photo Frame from Kmart is being snapped up across the country and dubbed the 'ultimate sentimental purchase' this month.
