IKEA trip- what should I buy?

Going to IKEA on Friday. Very excited! Have loads of time to wander and have lunch.

What should I buy?

There's nothing I need but I would like to get some new bits for the kitchen and I'm mad for baskets etc for organising. We also have a 2 and a half year old and I love buying things for him.

Yes! We absolutely need these. We've been folding over the cereal and crisps bags like animals!

Ofantligt mugs. They're white with a sort of ribbed finish on the outside and they're so tactile. I love mine!

Meatballs for lunch in their restaurant 😋
They do a lovely chocolate bar with hazelnuts in too.

Tealights and I love browsing the kitchen utensils. Always come away with bags full but don't go in needing anything 😂

A socktopus.
A garlic press if you don’t have it already.
Candles.
The little coffee cups with no handles. Love these!

Those cheap packs of ten facecloths in the children’s area. They are fantastic as reusable kitchen cloths, I rarely need paper towels.

The 3ply paper napkins
Fantastisk , great value for money

Ooh I love an IKEA run - we need to do one soon as I'm looking to redecorate our bedroom and the spare room so want some 'bits'.

My fav buys are

Paper Napkins - huge packs, really good value
Kitchen bits, including crockery
Picture frames
Pictures/prints
Tea light holders

Mirrors and also lighting are very good value

Daim bars
Jars of Dill & Mustard sauce - great with fish - I buy 3 at a time as they don't always have it

Djungelskog Bear - be warned that if you don’t want to bring him home, don’t give him a hug or allow your dd to.

Oh dear god I looked at the first photo and thought "aww" then saw the size of him in the second photo! 😱
