misosouper, a shopping blog

These sweet little galvanized steel plant pots from Ikea have so much potential. Pretty centerpieces? Outdoor candle lanterns? A classier take on easter baskets?

Best discovery ever? The toy section at Ikea. They’re totally cute and well-designed (no cloying characters!), there are great wooden toys (non-toxic paint!), and everything is cheap cheap cheap! My son loves knocking over these soft stacking blocks… over and over again. Plus, Ikea will donate $1 to Unicef for every soft toy you purchase through Dec. 24. Head over there!

Looking for a quick and easy way to brighten up your breakfast nook? At less than a buck a piece, these new floral Klistrig placemats from Ikea are a total steal. Stylish and cheery—the perfect way to start the day.

Choosing, printing, and gluing pictures to this frameable family tree (which fits in an IKEA Ribba) is so much more fun than just scribbling in the names.

An infinitely customizable, economical alternative to the Expedit.  (Hey, I have one in my house too.  I’m just sayin’.)
