items I would love to visit Ikea more often than I do, but it's so big and sometimes, if I'm honest, it's a bit intimidating. But there are some items they sell that I have found to be must-haves in my daily life that make the trip to Ikea worth it. So I'm...
I love this Samla plastic storage box. After years of having termites, mice, water damage so many items (including memories that cannot ever be replaced), I have to say that plastic totes and storage boxes are a Godsend! I try to store as much as I c...

The Hildegun dish towel is one of the best dish towels out there. It dries well and makes for a great cheesecloth too.

The Sandviva silicone oven mitt is just excellent. Won't catch fire like your cloth oven mitts and it does its job - protects you from the heat which I found lacking in other oven mitts. Totally recommend this one.

I've used many different rubber spatulas over the years, but I still go back to Ikea to buy them when I need to. I've found their spatulas to be the best and most durable and quite affordable.

The Sjoruda Spatula is soo handy. It's great for scraping bowls and not wasting a single drop of dough/mixture.

Something all us bakers need in our kitchen - the Lattbakad cooking rack. I've found that you can never have too many cooling racks. Plus this one is foldable so won't take up much space. Love it.

Another tool any baker needs is this Lattbakad silicone bowl scrapper. So handy.
