@@angiericouard792 Haha agreed! I live in Europe to and I kid you not, we have a bus that takes you from the city to IKEA. It's not even a private bus but public transport with IKEA as its main stop. It's 40 mins by car from where I live and an hour and a half by bus. I legit take a bus there and have someone pick me up to go back home since my dad works nearby and it's a problem how many candles I own
@@ChaosAngel1331 I’d go if it were that close! Hopefully next time I go to Atlanta I can go and have my friends bring it back when they drive in because I’ll probably fly. Lol. Last time we didn’t go because she said they weren’t taking Covid seriously and it’s just not that important if that’s the case.
I have never been to ikea... my husband always finds an excuse why we shouldn’t go... now I fricken see why?!? I’d want the whole store 😳 what have I been doing with my organizational life?!? Love this video thank you! 😍
No no no, you don't go with the husband. You either go alone or with a girlfriend or sister. It's WAY more fun without the man tagging along complaining about everything.
We use the IKEA Big Blue Bags for laundry... I have severe arthritis and struggle to carry a laundry basket, but the big blue is awesome cos I can carry it over my shoulder like a large tote bag or if it’s a lighter load I can use the hand handles if my hands are feeling okie(ish) that day. But mostly I use them like a shoulder bag, I can’t fill them too much as they hold more than I can carry. But they also help me get stuff upstairs too, I cannot carry anything two handed as I MUST use the handrail, so these bags let me gather items to go upstairs and I can carry quite a few items in one trip if I bag them, and I can still use the handrail safely. Ohhh and our ginger cat (he passed away 2 weeks ago, LOVED these Blue Nags, he liked the texture and noise, he’d get in and roll around, he’d get in with the laundry and the lil bugger would get into the bag to be carried up to bed (he was almost 22 so he had problems with the stairs in the past year) so if we said “is it bedtime?” He’d head for the bag, my husband jokingly referred to the bag as “Über for Billy!” When he picked it up.
Yes the blue totes are great for laundry! We have to lug clothes up and down 2 flights of stairs so these bags are great too throw over a shoulder and carry a load. Plus that last longer. Plastic tubes and backers always seen to crack and break 😒 we have like 10 bags we rotate through bc they are so cheap lol!
Hubby & I found a pop-up basket made for collecting leaves years ago at Bed Bath & Beyond. It was only $6. We used it as a laundry basket. Regular prices on their pop-up clothing bins were $15 & up. The leaf collection basket collapses down to be folded & put away when not in use & it's huge. Ideal for us bc we have four kids & never run out of laundry... lol
What a great video. Thanks! I love Ikea. That Frakta bag is a lifesaver! I have hauled laundry, Goodwill donations, books, blankets, even firewood. But most of the time we use them for groceries. We live in an apartment, and taking multiple trips back and forth to the car is just not very practical. We load all the grocery bags into a couple of Frakta bags, hoist 'em up on our shoulders, and haul everything inside all at once. You get a bit of a workout doing it this way, too😂
We've used ours for firewood when camping as well! It's great when my young son outgrows clothing to stash it in an IKEA bag then I can easily give a large bundle away to friends/family. :-) That is true, apartment living hauling groceries and things is definitely considered a workout in my book. Love it!
I love the Kuggis boxes for holding printer paper! It’s the perfect size. I hated how the plastic wrapping always ripped and then paper would be everywhere and get bent/wrinkled and drove me crazy. Kuggis to the rescue!
Nice choices, especially the last one, which I believe is underrated. Last time we moved, I bought two dozen and we used them to haul everything that wouldn't fit in the over five hundred boxes we also filled. Even with that many, I was wishing I'd bought more. They solve the problem of moving awkwardly-shaped items, especially those that are lightweight. An indispensable moving item for me now. ~ Lisa
I'm originally from MN but lived in Sweden for 4 and a half years now. I really appreciate you trying to pronounce the names of the products, because Swedish is not an easy language to learn! Good work!
I use the largest size Kuggis bins for holding toys under our coffee table and the lids we use for playdoh and painting projects. Most of the creativity stays on the lids (at this point I call them trays) and clean up is easier. Great video! I got some more ideas from you!
The only IKEA I've been to was one in Round Rock, TX. My sis n law, mom n law & I were in there for 3 hours! My husband was done after an hour. I was kinda overwhelmed, there's just soo much. Thank you for sharing so I know what they offer that's worth the money for my home.
I love the bamboo phone holder but was surprised that you didn’t mention the little perforation in the back that I think is there for the recharging line to lie flat when needed.
IKEA is like a religion in Sweden. We don't go to church here on Sundays, we go to IKEA. 😁 And we go there to buy the one thing we actually need, but come out with 40 other things as well. 🤣
I love the KUGGIS box/bins they are all over my office/craft space. I have all my fabric organized in large ones. I use the tops as art trays for my kids. They clean up really easily and they are great because of the lip around the outside. LEGO stays inside and so do crayons and pencils, so super easy when having to quickly cleanup/move the tray. Just wanted to share! ♥️your channel!
I have some Kuggis boxes in my sewing room. They hold already cut fabric for works in progress. Ill be getting some deeper ones for fabric storage as soon as I can. I love them. I also store copy paper in them.
Love the video! My nearest ikea is at least an hour away & having videos like this to help me shop & make a plan before I go so the long trip isn’t a waste is soooo helpful. Thank you thank you thank you! I also love your organizing hacks in general because I live in a small house too. Have you done a video about how you organize your (and your son’s) craft supplies? Do you have a small space where you keep your craft supplies or do you have a craft corner/room to store all the stuff?
I almost threw out my big blue bag from ikea and I thought well I'll keep it and I folded it up and stuck it in the closet.. I did not realize how handy it would come in when I want to bring our big comforters to the laundry mat because they're too heavy for my washing machine.. that bag is perfect!
I LOVE IKEA! These are great suggestions that I plan to use. Some of these I've never seen before, like the phone holder. I might get a couple of those to use and perhaps stocking stuffers
i so love window shopping. if i find something i like, i would definetly do a reverse image search and compare the options of what i can get for cheaper price. or even better do a diy it if possible. IKEA isn't horrible place to shop, for sure but they do give out a wonderful ideas what a person can do for a space.
I recently created storage space in my house and I used Kuggis too (one big like the one you showed and two smaller than the others you have) I also used 4 Drona boxes (I don't know if they are sold in the States). Here, in Spain, they cost 3 euros each one and they are made of cloth. I don't try to pronunce the names, they are too difficult. I found it is a "problem" for everyone who is not Swedish :)
Can I suggest the SKUBBS drawer organizers? They are honestly the best I've ever found and so cheap, maybe $5-10. Seriously a life changing product. I fold all of my clothes marie kondo style and they work perfectly with that system.
Hi Kallie! First, I just started watching your videos and already you've helped me so much! I have gotten a lot of your printables and am currently doing your 30-day cleaning challenge. (My pal dropped over and said "wow, it's so tidy in here!") As I watched this video, I fell in love with your little coffee table right behind you. I live in a studio apt. and that would be just what I need for my space. I tried to go without one and there have been a few spills. Carpet is wobbly! Would you be able to tell me where you got it? Thank you! 🤩
I have cloth baskets that I use in the living room to hold throw blankets. My coffee table is round with a shelf under the top surface, that is awkward to put things on, because it is a metal weave that makes putting things on it that won’t fall through, a headache. It is useable space if you use bins that can slide in and put. The cloth bins work great there, and they look nice also.
Just subscribed! Love the video! Want the draagon for my vanity cuz I dont like my products to show thru clear acrylic bins. Also want the carrying caddy for my shifting “office” locations.
I love the office caddy. Since my daughter is home every other day for school I get kicked out of the office when she is home. So my items are just everywhere on the dining room table.
Love that you use a Rocket Book!! Fun right! And I like the use of the portable office bin, thanks for that idea and a bunch of the others! Great video, thank you.
I like this type of video. I hope to see more stuff from Ikea. Very informative. Can you do one from The Container Store too?? I know it's pricey but you can find stuff there you won't find nowhere else. Thanks for sharing.👍👍❤️❤️❤️😃
Am I the only one who sees inspiration for making these items from Dollar Tree items? They have a great fold up phone holder, marbled design, at DT. Callie has spoiled me. I would make that rod with a curtain rod and Command hooks. I have a can of spray paint for the rod.
My fiance has that phone stand thing. The exact one. He uses it to watch shows on his phone in the bathroom. He's a bath kinda guy so he will run a bath and watch his shows in there. Safe to say he loves it.
You had me laughing out loud at your first product 🤣. Don't feel bad we ALL can't pronounce their products. Thank you for a good laugh, I needed that! Great products - thanks for sharing these ideas.
The closest Ikea to me is 5 hours away! 😭 I've never been to the store, but I shop online. My problem is they always remove stuff from my card when I go to check out. And for anything big is $199 for shipping. That sucks.
Ohhh I might have to check that out. I got one I loved from Amazon for $15 but it broke. Now I have an $8 one from Target and hate it. Might try the one from IKEA.
Please, please next time you go, to the kitchen area, will you give opinion on some of the sinks and dish rack items??? I've seen some, but never in person. Like, does a 5qt dutch oven fit inside the single stainless steel sink? Thanks for the update and for the IKEA ideas.
I don't know about Ikea's sinks, but I have a traditional, double-basin kitchen sink, and my 6-quart enamel-coated dutch oven fits just fine, if that's any help.
As a European I am thrilled this video is about IKEA and not Target, Wallmart or Michaels since we don't have that here. Big thumbs up and thank you
I just watch these videos wishing I had one closer than 8 hours away. 🤣

Girl, get yourself there. You're gonna love it.
Plan a day. Stay the whole day. Remember to eat to stay strong! It’s a fun day. Go without your husband. 👍🏼
Do not go with your husband, it takes hours to get through there and experience the entire place.
No no no, you don't go with the husband. You either go alone or with a girlfriend or sister. It's WAY more fun without the man tagging along complaining about everything.

Great story Jo HexxKitten. 🌞
Great idea! I use laundry totes and hang them on the wall. But if I had arthritis you better believe I would be adopting your idea.
Great tip. I'll be using this. Thank you!!

I took one semester of it in college (I do random stuff like that) and one semester was enough for a just because class - very hard language to learn.

I love the phone holder. I actually just grab one and then used it so much I went back and picked up 2 more.
I've got a couple shelves in my cart right now. Off to add a few of these items... 👍🏻
Perfect timing... Ikea just opened their online store in Mexico... sadly their stock and shipping is limited
Kind of an off topic question but what conditioner/leave in products do you use on your hair? It looks so shiny and healthy!
I love the big blue bag. I own an RV and it works great stocking it for trips. Also use one in the RV shower for dirty laundry.
Just subscribed! Love the video! Want the draagon for my vanity cuz I dont like my products to show thru clear acrylic bins. Also want the carrying caddy for my shifting “office” locations.
The giant Ikea shopping bags I keep in my trunk and I load my costco shop into them to bring into the house.
The metal caddy for office would be great in the bathroom.I would put my brushes and tweezers in the elastic slots.
The 49c planters come in red and gold at xmas to
My cat would love sleeping in the felt basket!
I love the office caddy. Since my daughter is home every other day for school I get kicked out of the office when she is home. So my items are just everywhere on the dining room table.
I bought everyone in my family those bamboo phone stands as stocking stuffers for Christmas.

Yay! I guessed right! IKEA! Fun fact... I’ve never been because I’m afraid I’d buy everything! Hahaha
These are really cute! I've never shopped there but mostly because the nearest one is hours away, but I'll definitely try now!
IKEA is so magical. I agree with many of your recommendations, especially the giant blue bag! We use ours allllll the time.

The desk organizer could be a great way to organize the kids crafts or coloring station.
Good vlog on storage.
Wish you would do a vlog about your 100 year old house ( maybe you already have one ?)
I love old houses, especially Victorian.
Isn't one close to me never seen inside until your video so nice to know can always order.. ty
Yeeesssssss! More IKEA content please!

Love your ideas
I used the first item outdoors. The stainless steel has held up nicely outdoors and for less than $15 I was able to hang all of my yard tools.
Thanks! Great idea!!!
"Ok I just went to Ikea yesterday" she said as she was getting her boots and keys to drive there again 🤣🤣
Take the big IKEA bag in with you to Costco or Sam’s! Better than searching for a box!
That's a fantastic idea!
Excellent suggestion!!
Love love your videos!!! Thank You❣💗

I wonder how IKEA could help me with garden tool storage. Could you do a video on that?
Thanks very much! Now I need a trip to IKEAAA!
I haven't been to IKEA in so long and even when I had gone I never thought to look at storage. Now...maybe
Excellent video, very helpful. Thanks
