What are your favourite small items from IKEA?

[SittinOnTheDock]

I'm finally getting round to ordering a socktopus. As I'm paying for delivery, was wondering if there's anything else I should add to my order.

What are your favourite small products from IKEA that I might want?

Looks great, you can get some cable cover thingies on Amazon which will get the cord out the way.

I'm in the US and products may vary, but I love the basic, completely indestructible, scrubbing brush. Also the basic plastic cutting boards, and the little veggie steamer with a hook to remove it from the saucepan that I bought a few weekends ago.

The £5 cheese grater with different grater lids. Still going strong 20 years later!

Garlic crusher, draw dividers

Socktopus! And by that I mean we got a second one! 😵‍💫

There are three of us and once the toddler started wearing underpants, one was not enough!

You might just love it that much.

The cheese grater
bag seal clips
the big storage bags for the loft

My slot together i - pad stand, it's great in the kitchen if you need to follow a recipe.

Hot dogs

Dimpa bag which is that massive zip up storage bag, blue bags that are the same size as their yellow bags handy for lots of different things, knives but I am not sure they deliver those. Their toilet brushes, controversial I know on MN. Plastic chopping boards, wooden chopping boards. Those weird food silicon things called Overmatt, we use the small one for cucumbers, the medium for lemons or onions and the large for sour cream or yoghurt lids once opened. Their lock and lock rip off food containers although we have the glass ones with the plastic lids.

We are lucky enough to live relatively close to an Ikea. I forget how much of an effort it is for other people.

We call those ‘food condoms’ in my house

The rechargeable batteries

@WetBandits I couldn't actually remember what they were called and googled Ikea food condoms!

I'm rather partial to their ginger biscuits...

Bag clips
Scissor packs
Tea light multi packs

The bags of Daims

The little wooden mobile phone stand. I bought it on a whim ( AS YOU DO...always in IKEA), yet it is so useful for taking clips, chatting on screen etc.

Also for reading from apps when cooking or in our house reading music to play the guitar.

365 white coffee cups and larger mugs
Ribbed soda glasses
Glass vase
Bedding / pillow cases
Stretchy silicon food/ lid covers
Cork place mats for utensils
365 sauce pans
Wicker basket

Food no ag clips

I would say houseplants, but not sure if you can have them delivered.

We're big fans of a Ribba picture frame and have a wide selection of shapes and sizes up the stairs --where I like to imagine they look artfully curated.

My biggest IKEA win however are their cotton napkins. I bought two packs in one of my wanky phases, just to see how we got on with washables. I fully intended to upgrade to worthy middle class linen ones if it all went well, but after two years our originals are still going strong and look almost as good as the day we bought them.

The little grey and white kitchen sponges
Mattress protector with towelling top
The black 365 salt and pepper pots
The little washing hooks you can hang from your airer

Maybe not small, small, but the BERGPALM bedding is really really good. Good quality, looks far more expensive than it is.

Food bag clips

Roasting tins

Roasting tins. Their expensive knives. The metal potato ricer. All their silicone spatulas (they're about £1 each and I use nothing else to cook with). Resealable food bags. Phone stands. Socktopus.

I'm sure there are other things 😁

Kaviar!
