HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE! I'm taking you along with me on my shopping trip to IKEA to show you all the best hidden gems you probably didn't know existed!! IKEA can be a very overwhelming store, so I hope this video gives you some ideas for your next shopping trip! Enjoy!!😍

Store your frother in the cardboard tube from paper towels. It keeps it from getting bent. Also great way to pack it for travel.

Is there any one else but me who hates “chopped pillows”? 😆

If you make your own salad dressing (e.g., vinaigrette), the milk frother is the perfect tool to mix and emulsify all your ingredients. Better than a whisk.

Thanks for being so clear and concise with your voiceover content. You never over elaborate and you do a really good job of keeping a good pace to your videos. Keep up the good work!

The cooling pillow is 100% awesome, Ive had mine for a year already and its still in great condition and amazing especially in the hot weather we have had here in the UK recently

I remember buying my first 2 person table at IKEA in 1987. The matching chairs came from the As Is section and are unfortunately long gone. We still use what we lovingly call my "bachelorette" table. Games, puzzles, dinner, Christmas tree, and mask sewing station have all been located on this table. Right now my 22 year old son uses it as his work from home desk. 💙

IKEA actually make really good, durable shoulder bags and backpacks. They aren't always the prettiest but they are comfortable and they last forever.

Very happy with mattresses purchased there, both price and quality. The fact that they were rolled up in heavy duty protective plastic with handles made them easy to transport home. Live plants are good there too. Nice video thanks for the great gift ideas.

I would suggest looking online, there are a lot of things that are not shown in store (make sure to select your store before browsing). You can buy online and have them gather all your things (instead of going on a scavenger hunt, and not finding 50% of the things on your list) together; so you just have to pick it up.

I always take the ziplock-bags in every size, they are amazing for food storage or packing your suitcase! The double seal works fantastic.

I’ve been binging your videos the last week while decluttering, and your videos legitimately help relax me through the process! 💙

Im Swedish and Ikea is engraved in my DNA. ❤️

[sherryidibo]

This is why I like IKEA stuff...they always have new items. Love the shelves and inserts I could use that alot. Thanks Kristen for inspiring me.

The chocolate cake in the cafeteria is really good!! Wish they sold it as a whole cake!

[patriciaplancon]

I never would have thought to go to IKEA for tools for my home! Thank you.💖

[Cole_Cross]

Remember to store all markers and paint pens CAP DOWN :P they last longer and won't dry out. Pet peeve.

[cindylux]

Wow had no idea the Kallax unit had so many insert options! Thank you so much Kristen. I was about to throw this unit out, been laying around in my closet for

[MarlySimplyLivingHappy]

My favorite IKEA gem is their vegetable peeler! it's sleek, compact and sharp. The best part is that it has a soft grip handle at a fraction of the price you would pay for other brands. Great video, Kristen! I will definitely be picking up a few of the items you mentioned. That ring light looks great.

If you are in a state that has a Daiso (it’s a Japanese version of the dollar store) you can find those little kitchen items including the clear glass bottles and more for under $5.
