Released less than 24 hours ago, the new mini buckets have sparked a frenzy of comments online, ranging from ‘Where can I get this?’ to ‘I can’t find it anywhere, is it sold out already?’.

Here’s all we know about it so far:

  • It’s a mini bucket with the Bunnings Warehouse logo on it
  • It’s only $1
  • People have no idea what to use it for, but they want it anyway

With both Instagram and Facebook fans wildly commenting, it will be no surprise if these fly off the shelves quicker than the Bluey Bunnings gnomes did.

What would you use a mini bucket for?

Comments from Bunnings fans about the functionality of a tiny little bucket are absolutely hilarious. While most have said along the lines of “I don’t know what I need mini buckets for … but I need them lol” and “Why? I mean don’t get me wrong, I will be buying one, but why?!?”, many people have very interesting ideas about how it could be used in their homes and gardens.

One social media fan is already thinking of Christmas, saying, “Imagine buying like $50 worth and making a Bunnings themed Xmas tree but it can store treats on it.”

Others have called out that it would be fantastic for XL drink portions, with cocktails and even beer pong making the list.

Here’s our favourite usages for this $1 mini bucket:

  • Halloween trick-or-treat bucket or easter-hunt bucket
  • A builder’s bucket for children’s pretend play
  • A plant pot for small succulents
  • A bucket for eating noodles or ramen
  • A gardening bucket for kids
  • A handbag (only if it fits a phone)
  • For rocks, sticks, shells or toy cars
  • For storing craft items
  • For Bluey gnomes as an accessory

Some comments highlighted the excessive use of plastic for no purpose, while others mentioned that it doesn’t come with a lid (which means food storage is out of the question). But, for everyone that loves all things tiny and cute, this is another great item to add to the collection.

And, because it is a bucket, surely there will be a time when you’ll need to use it?

Where can you buy the Bunnings mini bucket?

You can purchase this $1 wonder in stores and online. However, many have commented that it is already unavailable in both instances. Hop to it, or your dream of having a Bunnings bucket pencil holder will be lost!
