Super cheap food. Swedish meatballs! Oh and join Ikea family! You can get special pricing on things, and get a free coffee/tea! And they usually have a concession stand by the exit where you pay... $1 icecream, hotdogs, $4 for cinnabons! </p> <p><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/food/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/food/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-items-for-familyhome#post-2524670 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:05:11 +0000 MrsBrewer 2524670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: .......eat? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-items-for-familyhome#post-2524655 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:54:46 +0000 snowjewelz 2524655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: 3 hours is good.. Are you planning to eat there too?

They look great for a gallery wall.</p> <p>I also apparently have a thing for Kallax (was Expedit) - cubed storage great for books and toys.</p> <p>Love the kid's bowls! Should probably buy more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-items-for-familyhome#post-2524638 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:47:16 +0000 MrsBrewer 2524638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: How much time do you think I should plan to be there?

Top of my list are the plastic children's cups. Also, other small (and easily shippable things) I love are there picture frames and paper napkins in cool prints. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-items-for-familyhome#post-2524619 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:42:18 +0000 snowjewelz 2524619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: It's gonna be aweessssome! </p> <p>Oh to add, their stuffed animals are SO soft!

They are thin enough to dry wine glasses, nice and absorbent and so cheap that I buy a dozen at a time. I also like their plates, bowls, and cups for kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-items-for-familyhome#post-2524447 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 08:05:29 +0000 lamariniere 2524447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like their electrical outlet covers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-items-for-familyhome#post-2524442 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 08:02:09 +0000 Littlebit 2524442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ordering a highchair and since shipping is pricey I figured I'd reach out and see if there is anything else I *need* while I'm at it!</p> <p>Any recommendations for favorite ikea items for family/home? </p>
