Displaying DD's trinkets - any ideas?

DD (4) has a growing collection of trinkets and knick-knacks gathering dust in her bedroom. Admittedly, quite a few are mine from childhood, china animals, etc.

How can I display them in her room so they're not a dusting nightmare? Was think about a small display cabinet like this but the quality looks a bit ropey and where do they get the £70 price from?

Has anyone seen anything better or got any better ideas? Am happy to do a bit of DIYing/customising.

sooz That's lovely, and far more worth the money than the Argos one appears to be. It's just the amount of room it takes up - she's in the attic bedroom with minimal wallspace.

The Billy bookcases are fab too - our house is full of them!

Tbh, I expected IKEA to have something for smaller items, but perhaps the Swedes don't go in for knick-knacks...

How about this?

That's great! Thanks for spotting it.

No probs!
If you do buy it, could you come back and say what's like - I've been meaning to buy it for ages but there always seems to be something else to spend the £60 on!

Know what you mean . I'm 34 wks with DC3 so struggling to prioritise. Probably should be deep cleaning the house but instead am worrying over trinket storage.
