Ikea's Holiday Gifts

There are so many reasons to shop at Ikea ... great kitchens, fabulous storage solutions, incredible meatballs and leading-edge designs at affordable prices. 

I recently installed an Ikea kitchen and love it ... and have now bought several other pieces for my home (including at TV/audio bench and a great armchair for my bedroom) and I am thrilled with how it all works in my condo. Perfectly sized and perfectly priced.

Ikea has lots of great holiday ideas for decorating and for gifts, but the ones I love the best are their soft toys. Great for the kids, and my Cairin terrier, Joey, loves them, too.

And from now until Dec. 29, for every soft toy or children's book you buy, the Ikea Foundation will donate $1 to help fund education projects supported by UNICEF and Save the Children.

Since 2003, Soft Toys for Education campaigns have raised over $59 million (Cdn.), and last year it raised over $15 million. 

That's a lot of money to help children across Africa, Asia and Europe acess to better eduction.

Just on more reason to love the big blue and yellow shed!

The impetus for finally tackling my kitchen clutter problem came partially with my husbands blunt observations and partially after I attended a kitchen tea for a blushing.
