IKEA: it's another what should I buy thread!

[MaggieFS]

Sorry! I'm in the Cr-app, so the search functionality is dire. Off for what seems to be an annual trip on Friday. What should I buy?

lol i am visiting ikea for my annual trip this weekend and wondered what to buy to

From the deli section: KAFFEREP Oat pastry balls with cocoa and coconut. They are lush!
Wrapping paper.
A peace lily plant.
Some candles.
Kitchen scissors.
Freezer bags.
Coat hangers.
Rigid A3-ish sized plastic placemats for DC to use as "craft mats" and save my tablecloths.

Frozen chocolate cake at the end. It's the law

Just here to mention the obligatory socktopus

How have I never heard of the frozen chocolate cake before!! Sadly it wouldn't make it home... I mean I could, try and when it melts, I'd just have to eat it.

We already have two socktopi, and I do highly recommend them.

Dare I say, I'm fallling out of love with the food bags. The twin packs, we always seem to use all of one size before the other. It's irritating.

And I do actually need a house plant, so that's a great shout.

Garlic crusher, there’s is just so much easier quicker and less messy to use.

Shoe boxes

Off to google a garlic crusher!

Could you get me some Christmas tree lights please? Warm white, and a nice long string. I don't like flashing lights so ones that can stay on (or off) all the time please.

We are having 2 trees this year and I thought we still had some red lights my DH insisted on getting some years ago. I was going to put them on the fake tree in the dining room, but it turns out that I have been efficient and got rid of them in the last round of 'why are we keeping all this crap'. So I need some tasteful lights please for our second tree.

All the scissors
