Ikea-anything I need to keep an eye out for?

[Nic]

I'm heading to Ikea at Edinburgh this week-is there anything I should be keeping my eye out for? I don't need big storage, but you know how there are always little things there that can be used in a crafty way!

a set of 3 small pop up nylon bins- great for taking to crops cause they squash flat

[Yasmin]

I'm planning to pop in later this week too, so I'd also like to know if there's anything I "really" need lol.

A friend of mine picked up some small zippered 'bags' that are great for small storage of pens and such, apparently they were about 1.50 euro a piece so that would be around 1 GBP. They were red and black if I'm not mistaken.

deffo small pop up bins saw these at my crop and i want some !!!

[Nic]

Thanks for the ideas-keep them coming!

I've got some of the pop-up bins and they're great. I think you'll find them in the kid's section. I missed them the first time round!

[Kelley S]

I got the below pots from there. (excuse messy worktop )

The Pole either 1m (holds 7 pots) or 55cm which holds 4

The pots

I've found them really useful.

I've also got some of those pop up bins. We use one in my craft room for general waste (i have a big bin for paper waste), another in the kitchen for putting empty cans/bottles etc in to carry to the door. and the 3rd one has vanished! I have a funny feeling that OH has nicked it and taken it to school

There are some thread about the Clip It Ups (think thats what they are called) and people are making their own using curtain rails and the crocodile clips on rings that you can get in the curtain section. thats my next item when i go again.

I got a net curtain rail for 69p at the weekend, the dignitet hooks are a perfect fit on it.
Plain white magazine holders - 5 for £1.29.
The little sweetie jars are fab too, but I can't remember how much they are, I use them for alsorts. The Big jars are great for ribbons. I use them to keep them dust free until I get round to sorting them into my files.

It was the "clip it up" idea which people have been using that made me think that there's always loads of stuff I miss!
