IKEA tomorrow - what do I 'need'?

[BrioLover]

Just that really - I always walk away with great things and wish every time I'd asked on here!

I only go once per year so I'm quite excited

Scissors.

A hot dog and ice cream at the end

Candles. In every fragrance.

Meatballs
Silicone covers for jars/ dishes
Freezer bag clips
Scissors
Pickled herrings
Crispbreads (rye ones)
Dill sauce for smoked salmon
Ginger biscuits
LED bulbs
More pickled herrings. You can never have too many.

Billy. Everyone needs a Billy.

Socktopus
A cuddly vegetable
Meatballs

YES to scissors. Mine are blunt and beyond being sharpened again.

And the dill sauce! And the herrings. And the candles. Meatballs are always on the list, we love them

What's a socktopus?

A giant weird lamp that looms over you when you're on the sofa.

Genius! <adds to list>

We had one of those but DS1 (ADHD) tried hanging on it once so that was that

Skubb underbed zip boxes

The food container jars to decant everything in your kitchen

Pax wardrobes

Sandwich bags

Step stool

Bamboo sticks

Plant pots & plants

Lots of candles and houseplants.

What are you actually going for?!
I’m one of those rare people that don’t really like ikea, took dd for the pre uni run and she came away with everything she needed - I came away with nothing extra!

If you host people for dinner the napkins are lovely. Big and excellent colours.

If you have small children the colourful plastic cups, plates and bowls.

Nyskoljd drying mat - really handy as an extra draining board space but also great for wet trainers
Bakglad rubber spatula - had replaced my beloved Lakeland magic spatulas
The little alphabet letter biscuits. I wouldn't have looked twice at them but my sister tipped me off & my kids love them.

Nerves of steel 🙄😁

Their Sensuell (terrible name) range of fully clad saucepans are great value for money.

That is a good point! I'm going for

• toy storage for DS2, he's got Playmobil and Lego now so have arranged a collection of a little unit with doors to tidy it into
• mirror for above the sofa in the living room as DH bought a heinous shabby chic one off FB and I can't cope with looking at it anymore. I am going to get a v simple one for £40 as a replacement that looks like it's from John Lewis or Made
• PAX wardrobe inserts/drawers as our house came with them built in but I don't use them in the way that the previous owner did

We've also got an IKEA kitchen due to the previous owner so everything fits perfectly

A stuffed blue whale toy. And if you are feeling flush, a killer whale to keep it company.

The Skubb boxes are brilliant, I am so pleased you reminded me of those

Socktopus?

Napkins.

Marabou chocolate. It has the moreishness that Dairy Milk has lost. And this is why I must never go to IKEA again.

Daim cake. We went today and I'm proud of how I didn't buy any of the random items I usually buy.
