What do I need from Ikea?

[cherrypiepie]

Going to Ikea for the first time in years thanks to lockdown!

What do I need? Except the new pan and shower caddy I'm actually going for.

Fuck the socktopus! Yeah I said it. I bought one after reading about them here and it keeps breaking. The metal wires keep popping out of the plastic clip. Does this not happen to anyone else?

Adding oat biscuits- and and orange underbed Dimpla bag just the right size.

Stretchy covers to use instead of cling film.

Glass jugs with cork lids for iced tea/coffee in the summer, and houseplants because you can never have too many.

Your own body weight in tealights. And meatballs, obvs.

Glass domed cake stand. V v cheap in comparison to similar at other places.

Pappis cardboard boxes for putting stuff in for storage.

Ziplock bags
candles
picture frames
fake flowers
kitchen scrubber!
duvet cover
blanket
....

need is irrelevant!!

I need one of these: it is a Skubb storage case for wrapping paper. Who knew this was a thing.

Those plugs that you use to recharge 3 USB items at once. They are a godsend in this house.

Fake plants ( for dark and dingy corners)

Meatballs
Lingonberry jam
Sachets of their meatball gravy
Childrens painting easel plus a roll of paper

IKEA will tell you what you need when you get there

Absolutely this. Be guided by her voice.

My list would be pretty useless to (mostly) everyone else as we have pet rats and there are so many ikea items we use in their cage.
Other than that we can never go without a trip to the cafe.
Houseplants
Ice cream when you're done

All the Kallax units, Drona boxes & Billy bookcases you can fit in your house.

Nothing, you need nothing!

Who am I kidding …. You need it all!

The quality of these have definitely gone down in recent years. My older ones are still fine but yes I too have this problem with my newer one.

Same with alot of Ikea. Still decent bang for your buck, but fixings etc much poorer quality than they used to be.

Daim bars. 😋

Daim bar cake

The biscuits that look like jammy dodgers but they are waaayyyy better. They also do a chocolate version.

You need many, many packs....
