I'm adding it to my growing list of stuff I "need" from Ikea. But I'm pushing for a hallway table and a new buffet table so I'm holding up on it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-664565 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 00:02:43 +0000 BSB 664565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: good to know that they are too tall. Thanks for the great suggestion for using them for freezing food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-664564 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 23:53:44 +0000 BSB 664564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: I spent $75 at Ikea. Got stuck in the kitchen section. Luckily, I got stuck behind some slow walkers so I got impatient and left for the self serve area. I didn't get to check out bedding section or anything past that section. That's probably the one thing that prevented me from spending more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-664438 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 21:04:03 +0000 StrawberryBee 664438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: thanks for the warning on the cups being too tall! Good idea to use them for freezing :D</p> <p>I thought this slide was super cute. Not to mention all of the great wooden toys:</p> <p><a href="http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/10089916/" rel="nofollow">http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/10089916/</a></p> <p>@sera_87: @MrsH: @Mrs. Pen: I was a bit bummed that we made chocolate chip cookies and not shapeable ones today ;). Then I ate five of them and was consoled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-664186 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 17:41:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 664186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have those cookie cutters! I haven't used them yet though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-664157 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 17:21:50 +0000 MrsH 664157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those cookie cutters are too cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-664152 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 17:19:38 +0000 sera_87 664152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have that cutter set. Seriously, too cute.</p> <p>Ikea makes me want to buy all the things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-664049 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 15:38:37 +0000 yin 664049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: @StrawberryBee: The baking cups are smooth inside but a tad too tall for bento boxes. I use them to freeze food for LO. </p> <p>Great finds! I always walk out with way more than I need. Just too many cool stuff. Plus it's even more fun looking for baby and toddler toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-663910 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 14:07:04 +0000 photojane 663910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily the closest one is 3.5 hours away! I've never even been! I love the Strawberry duvet... so cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-663907 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 14:04:49 +0000 StrawberryBee 663907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: they're smooth :). Good luck only coming out with two things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-663734 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 12:00:50 +0000 BSB 663734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: those baking cups are so cute! Are the sides smooth inside? I read that the other baking cups that are used for bentos are ribbed inside so cleaning it can be a pain. I need to go to Ikea today to get a small table and now those cupcake cups! Wish me luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-663714 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 11:40:48 +0000 Pepper 663714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! I always get suckered into the kitchen section whenever we go to Ikea, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-663706 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 11:36:04 +0000 MarieJ 663706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I WISH we had an Ikea! It's probably better on my bank account that we do not. Cute stuff, btw! Love the cookie cutters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-663667 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 10:44:33 +0000 lemondrop 663667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear ya, I always spend more than I plan to. But I love it so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-663663 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 10:39:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 663663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm bad when I go to Ikea-- and it's always stuff that doesn't cost more than 5 or 10 dollars that just adds up. I found it helped when I don't get a cart at all, just the big yellow bag-- once it starts getting heavy, I start to realize what I'm doing. But we don't live very close to one so there are always so many things I'm like... well, since I'm here, I may as well... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-663653 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 10:33:13 +0000 mrskc 663653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ikea is bad for my bank account. haha DH does not like when I want to go there. Cute stuff you got btw! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-i-shouldnt-be-allowed-anywhere-near-ikea#post-663646 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 10:28:18 +0000 StrawberryBee 663646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Went in for two $60 bar stools for our new breakfast bar, and walked out over $200 poorer. What is it about Ikea that sucks me in? ;D</p> <p>But seriously, how cute are these things??</p> <p>Silicone baking cups! I know I'll never do bento lunches (I can't even pack lunch for myself 99% of the mornings), but I couldn't resist.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80175251/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80175251/</a></p> <p>Forest animal cookie cutters. There's a FOX. 'nough said.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30133046/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30133046/</a></p> <p>Crib duvet cover with STRAWBERRIES. So, I know that there'll be no duvets for a long, long time, and for her first bedding she'll probably want something like Dora, but for serious. Strawberries. (can you tell I have a thing for them? ;))</p> <p><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80194792/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80194792/</a></p> <p>I also got some random things of course, like a roll/bolt of the strawberry fabric that was on clearance for $5 and some drawer organizers (even though my drawers aren't square and they probably won't even fit). Yeah.</p> <p>Do you find yourself buying things for your LO that he/she cannot possibly use in the foreseeable future? Do you walk in to some stores expecting to get x and walk out with the entire alphabet?</p> <p>As an aside, we went with my stepkids and they were really cute in the baby section, talking about what we would get for their little sister when she's here ^_^. </p> [attach=2320/13/mk68b6.500x500.sockerkaka-baking-cup__0168310_PE307468_S4.JPG] [attach=2320/13/mk68b8.500x500.drommar-pastry-cutter-set-of-__0168272_PE304502_S4.JPG] [attach=2320/13/mk68b9.500x500.va-smultron-crib-duvet-cover-pillowcase__0168563_PE322276_S4.JPG]
