Ikea Again part 2

Another batch of pictures from the Ikea. Because that place is too much to explore with only one group of pictures.

There's a map of the place, but you'll only see it if you can get through half of the maze. It's right down the stairs after you escape the upper level. Now that we think about it, maybe Ikea should have a Minotaur as it's mascot?



Yikes! I think "utspadd" is the Swedish word for "melt-able murder weapon which leaves no evidence". These silicone ice tray things looked like they were making dangerously sharp ice pick wedges.


The perfect Minty-colored dishes were still here, and once again we thought... eh, we already have enough dishes. I still think we're going to get these one day, but eh... not today.


We forgot the name of our Skogsfraken pillow we always looking for. We looked at every pillow, sure that if we saw it, we'd recognize the name. Later, on the way home, we cheered ourselves for remembering it's named: Gosa Pinje. But we surely didn't see it there this time.


I'm trying to think of some kind of witty funny thing to say about a Stockholm Pillow but I can't quite make a connection between hostages associating with kidnappers and somehow pillows. There's pieces there to make a funny comment, but I can't quite put them together. What? Are you holding me here until I come up with a funny caption? Hey, it's okay.. I'm, sure we can think of a way out of this together.


If you know you are messy, try this cube shelf cloth basket thing. Hey... why am I in the basket?! I'm not the mess!


This was... "dark". A totally black sphere globe. More creepy once you see the tag calls it earth globe. Like... what happened to the planet?! We kind of wanted this, because it's so shocking.


Where can I find a Thursday in this store? Because the sign says it's Free!


This cute panda lamp has eyes open on one side and closed on the other. How long until your kid figures it out, or will they always not notice you spin it when you turn it off and on?


This lamp didn't look like it would give off much light, but did look like it totally belongs on an alien spacecraft.


Where's Mike India November Tango Yankee? Is that Charlie Oscar Oscar Lima? Look close at this thing and you'll see a rather embarrassing mis-spelled "Alfa"... isn't it supposed to be "Alpha"?


One day we'll be able to get back to "The City". This is known as the Flat Iron Building and I think from where this picture was taken, there should be a Lego Store just to your... left? Maybe right, it's been a while since I've been there.


Jar hands. Sure, not creepy at all. I think Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker must shop at Ikea. Plenty in stock!


I guess you need a license to sell flowers. $200 fee. And you probably need to post this on the wall so you don't get busted by the flower police.


This would have made a much better display if those lights were... lighted. We got the picture anyway since it's still a cool idea, if you have one of these umbrellas outside.


They changed the line queue to a winding path around merchandise pallets. Covid-era six foot circles on the floor, of course. There was no other way around, so even with nothing to buy, we had to navigate this.


Hanging blast shields between the checkout registers. In case you were curious.


There's a little grocery section near the exit. Chocolate bar puzzle sculptures! Neat. For a minute before you eat it.


Fika me! It's a cookbook. I hope it's not in Swedish.


Hey! It's my friend's horses! Well, almost. Are those like the horse version of Swedish Fish? Come to think of it, you think they might sell Swedish Fish here? I only thought of that now while making this caption, next time we'll remember to look.


I'm pretty sure these catalogs are free. We grabbed one on the way out for no reason. Maybe we'll see something in it and come back again.


Twine. So you can tie stuff to the roof of your car. Or to tie your trunk down if stuff is crammed into it and it won't close all the way anymore. Or maybe for your kids who just won't calm the heck down. Hahaha just kidding on that last one.
