What do I need from IKEA?

[Clevs]

We're going to Ikea tomorrow for a few things. Tell me what else I need to buy that I never thought I would need/didn't know existed/will make my life easier etc.

They don't do the big bag of mini daim bars anymore in our IKEA!

Was in during the week and bought napkins, sandwich bags, couple of side plates. And couple of Xmas tree baubles.

Lint rollers

It's worse than the middle of Lidl for that.

Why the fuck would the OP want to buy your mum a cushion 😂

I'm adding a lint roller and pack of refills to your list OP.

And - this is contentious on MN I know - they have cheapy cheap toilet brushes so I buy a new one every time I go. In black, so I can live in blissful ignorance thinking it can't be full of shit if I can't see it.

Oh no... Looks like I'm off to IKEA tomorrow too now!
I'm going to get some under-shelf baskets for my kitchen cupboards because my spices are overflowing but don't stack!

Anyone know how long the kids can stay in the crèche out of interest?

Maybe you could pick them up on Tuesday

@soupmaker

say what???

mind you, all the better for me if they don't do big bags of daim bars I suppose! I think they must have crack in them?! I can't just have 1 (or 2)

I have a salad bowl that you put the lid on and spin it so it removes all the water from the lettuce, it's brilliant 🤣

Vapperby bluetooth speaker 20×20 - the best bang for your buck of any portable speaker I've come across.

Herring

Okay, yeah. I want this.

Omg those are awesome

Lingonberry squash

I bought their vegetable knife recently and I absolutely bloody love it

I live a 5 hour drive from my nearest IKEA and I’m going next week (squee!) so I’m lapping all this up

The glass lock-lock dishes.

Asda sell Dime cake too, if you don't live close to an ikea.

Long handled shoe horn.

Wooden coat hangers
Food bags
Tea lights
That giant bear .. I'm off to get myself one!!

Resealable bags in a variety of sizes, kitchen scissors, paper napkins, 8 dining chairs (but you haven't decided which yet, you need to sit on them first) 2 plastic dining chairs for the breakfast room (but you haven't .....). Some mini orange daim bars. Some liquorice. A BIG box of their ginger biscuits. Another BIG box of their oaty biscuits sandwiched together with chocolate. If you have primary aged children, a box of their alphabet biscuits.

And what you really REALLY want but they don't seem to do any more... is a cheese slice. One of the triangular ones you pull across the top of the cheese to slice off a piece. Particularly for brun ost which they don't sell either.

This. Everyone should have a giant cuddly octopus giving side eye in their life.

Their garlic press is excellent.

The one we have is Koncis.

Easy to get them all in at once if it starts raining. Or if like me you don't have a line and just use a drying rack.

Please can you pick me up a new socktopus, some sandwich bags, a stock pot, a new living plant for my kitchen window, some green hand towels and some new cushions for my new sofa....something that goes with Navy blue please. Also if they have that alcohol free mulled fruit drink in stock a few bottles of that, the kids like it at Christmas. Any nice gift wrap for Christmas too.
