What do I want from Ikea?

I'm placing a click and collect order for a large item of furniture. What are all of the smaller bits and pieces I'd pick up if I was walking through the gates of hell store? Browsing online just isn't the same.

Last time I went for big stuff, I also ended up buying a plant, bag clips, a toy pizza for my nephew's Christmas present, a candle in a lovely jar, red tea lights, cupboard organiser shelf thingies and orange daim sweets...you probably want ALL of those things.

Paper napkins, mini Daim bars, freezer bags, tea lights, bag clips, those storage boxes that are just the right size for vinyl albums and the cardboard things you can store paperwork in and hide it all on a bookcase.
