IDK gals! I think Ikea is gunna be a 5/10 for me and its quite overrated! Great for getting staples but definitely not for making your house a HOME! And thats my little opinion that no one asked for!
Lmfao I came here to say before I even started the video! IKEA is just OVERRATED! Thank you NEEEXXT 👊
I dont necessarily like the style of the furniture in ikea, but i absolutely love the layout and could stay there for hours, just wandering around. I've loved Ikea since I was a little kid, and the FOOD OMG. It's a great store if its your style, and its just the right amount of whelming for me. I could see why some people dont like it, but for me, I get the hype ngl
Never been there 😭
Aw I was so delighted that you read and hearted my other comment here only to realise that editing my comment to add that my mum and I also thrifted furniture to save money caused your heart to disappear 🥺 Aaanyways, thanks again for taking us with you! Greetings from Berlin
Ahh I agree with your little opinion! It’s too much for me and my anxiety I’d rather shop online !!
Haha! As a Swede, I have to say that your thoughts of Ikea matches our general feeling of Ikea. Ikea is great - if you know what you want. An unplanned visit to Ikea is sooo exhausting! The food is bland and mediocre but Ikea is massive, so unless you brought something like a banana or a smoothie to keep you going - you're gonna need the cafeteria to survive! Love your vlogs btw!
I agree. Always check the online catalogue first and go tunnel vision style for those items only when you visit the warehouse. In Denmark we have a thing called "the IKEA test". If as a couple you survive a visit to IKEA, your relationship will probably make it 🙂
I'm from Berlin, Germany, born in 1992 and as a single parent my mother never had the luxury to shop expensive high quality furniture, so we've been IKEA customers since I can think and LET me tell you: at least in Germany IKEA changed a lot in the past three to four decades. It used to be good quality with clever and beautiful designs for SMALL money. First the quality began sinking and then the prices began rising and it's just not really worth it anymore sadly (although the designs are still intriguing sometimes). Same goes for the clothing store H&M (incidentally also originally swedish). To THIS day I own clothing items from H&M bought by my mum in the 90ies that I can still wear. It was just better quality back then...I sound like a grumpy granny, but it's true though 😅😭 What I'd like to know as a German: what "hype" are y'all talking about regarding IKEA? Are US Americans seeing IKEA as something special at the moment? Is it new in the states? LOL so weird as a European to hear that anyone would be hyped about IKEA. So normal to us.
Great video, Daniel! Much love from Berlin ❤
Edit: Of course we also thrifted a lot, IKEA is not the only cost-saving option :)
I am from the UK and am equally confused as to why IKEA is hyped in the US 😂
i had to get my dad to ccome over and read this for me becaue it has new words and it is really long so i almost falled asleep and looked at my feet instead and i have a wart on my foot and also i ahve to do my work book before fall but i live in arizona i live at here 7435 S Velvet Willow Way and one time in preschool i went to a fire station and i went down the pole i didnt know they have poles so when i see the color red like a apple of the red red golden doogle i think of the pole but also i wish i could swim and i think i got ketcup on the ceiling, i love ketchup, can you send me exotic pops/soda from germany i dont know where that is on the map is it in the united states? and shelby has a See Pap, i dont know what that means but but she ireally annoying and fuckec in the head and looks like the water tower and sometimes i wear the see pap machine mask and pretend i am dark vader from star wars.
Yes, that's what I remember about IKEA.
I honestly don’t know why we Americans make it so Hyped lol me personally it’s not my thing as it’s very overwhelming.
I also remember about the meatballs scandal several years ago.
Watching this as a Swede is funny since IKEA is such a huge staple here. It is not uncommon for someone's entire decor to come from IKEA so it definitely makes many homes here.. Love watching an outside perspective.
I totally understand that! Europe definitely doesn’t have the options we do in America nor the space to design so that aspect is amazing
Your are such a genuine person and you are so enjoyable to watch. Thank you for providing useful insights about IKEA. This was another fantastic video, and I can't wait to see where your adventures take you next!
Ah Daniel... Ive had the absolute worst week. Watching you has calmed me down... and made me smile. This is what you do for us. You make us feel like we are right there with you, and your opinions and honesty about everything is so refreshing and fun. Thank you. I needed this video today. More than I can express. You are just ... a ray of sunshine in an otherwise dank world. 🌄🌄
I love daniel any video about his home or garden are my favorite and all his vlogs are truly my comfort videos❤
Thanks for watching!
i am in my healing era and find myself searching out your content. i appreciate your honesty, your humor and wit and overall great advice. i really feel like im enjoying time with a friend, and not just any friend but a friend who has their shit together and has your best interest at heart..ya know.
i will always find comfort and wisdom in your content, thank you for helping me get through some of those rough days especially.
You're so adorable - giving us a tour of Ikea, as if none of us have been there before - so sweet!
And yes Ikea is a life saver for your first apartment or home, especially w/ young kids. We started buying the cheapest sofas because our kids would ruin them. Once they got older & we could finally splurge on a quality sofa, was at the same time that we adopted our first dogs who promptly ate off all the corners of the gorgeous new sofa - oh, good times..
This is not the content I expected but the content I needed. Welcome to the I didn't need anything and spent 175 regardless club.
The 5 clock shadow loooks great on you per usual 💙💙 always stunning babes
This was so much fun. Don't live near an IKEA store, so I really like seeing the inside of one. Always love seeing Kalel on this channel, too 😊 Your longer, vloggy-type videos (like this one and several recent ones) have been great lately, Daniel! I think you've been doing an excellent job with them 💜
Thank you! The weekly uploads have been really fun!
I love ikea just for the layout. The furniture is not really my style, but I could spend hours there just walking around. also THE FOOD IS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD I'VE LOVED IT SINCE I WAS LIKE 6
Daniel, I can't believe you went to Ikea from outside of your house in L.A. on this video to get new things, I'm proud of you!! #ikea #homedecor #ikeahacks
Yes!! I went to Ikea in Stoughton, MA back in ‘06 and i definitely wasn’t loving all the grey. It was super new then and all the rage but it was so not cute back then. I’m from the north shore of MA and then lived in Malden, Medford and Somerville. Huge fan of you, Daniel!! ❤️ And i love supporting other people who have kind hearts.
i live in arizona
Glad I'm not the only one who wasn't that impressed with Ikea the first time I went. I've been there a couple more times since and have found some nice items but I still don't get the crazy hype. It's good that you gave it a chance though!
Great video Daniel!
I really liked watching you critique the food and the ambiance/mood of IKEA.
It would be fun to watch you do more restaurant/food reviews.
You added in your humor.
You’re good at it.
Hope to see more.
Thank you!
LOVE THE VIDOES. This one made my day better.
Omggg i love ikea ahahaha cant believe it was your first time 🤩 thanks for this video !! 💗
About 6 years ago I purchased 2 outdoor chairs, right after we installed a pool and deck. They are still in impeccable shape!!! Swedes know how to do the thing for sure.
oh my god that CRUNCH at 6:30 please- perfect upload timing when i’m sick, this cheered me up! Also can’t wait for the unmess my nest living room video 🤍
Feel better hun! That video is now releasing next weekend! Still waiting on some art work to be delivered 😭😭😭
Love watching my two favorite creators together
I loooove this video😍 do more of these please
I love food videos so watching this video today made my day! More food videos?!
You asking for more meatballs and the dude saying...You got it, brother! Idk why that had me laughing! 😂
Wow I never knew IKEA was more than a furniture store. But then again I live in a small town so not sure if ours would have that. I will have to look into it. Plus, I also love you and your content. I love your energy even when you are trying and pushing through your issues. I love your integrity, your designs, your willing to be open and honest. I admire your ideas of family and the way you and Joey work together for the pups and are adult enough to realize you are family and have a bond. It doesn't have to be a bf bond just a bond that no other needs to understand.I'm the same way with a couple of my exes. Somethings are more important than being petty or resentful. It takes over your life. Stay true, stay you and continue to follow your dreams and passions for life and design and adventure.
Never in all my years of shopping or visiting IKEA have I seen it SOO QUIET. Every time I go, my IKEA is bumping with people! It's so overwhelming, you almost have to prepare mentally and emotionally for a trip to IKEA haha
As a swede I do love Ikea. It's great for a starter home to get everything you need for cheap (furniture is getting ridiculously expensive) at least in Sweden since we don't have a lot of cheaper options (but they are starting to come like Dollarstore). The bad thing is that it's a lot of boxy furniture with no personality and not that personal either since almost everything you see there you know someone that owns it lol. But it's also fun to see that they still sell a lot of stuff that they used to like 20 years ago. We bought our couch there and it's SOOOO nice! Ikea is.. a lot though, very exhausting to go through everything in just one time. They were closing when me and my partner went there so they only had the chicken meatballs left but they were really good, don't remember how the normal ones taste, but the sauce 😘👌
Relating to your July Montana trip. I think many people would be interested in seeing you meet up with Chris from adventuring with Nala in Utah. Seems like great guy hiking with his golden retriever
Ikea is great for storage choices, and kitchen gadgets. 😊
I moved to Hong Kong a year ago to teach. IKEA was my go to for the first four months. Everything from food to decor, to the everyday little items. The prices here are comparable to the US. Needless to say it was my saving grace, when starting over.
Well that was fun, I've never been to an IKEA because of it's hugeness,
but I've heard so much about the Swedish Meat Balls and it seems you approve, just the ambiance was lacking (and you'd be right,lol). The tea lights were an excellent deal, like the idea of the mantel over the fireplace, or in an opaque vase. So much fun shopping with you as always, so thank you Daniel for taking us along, see you soon!
I’ve never been to IKEA either…but I do agree with the overwhelming feeling if you don’t have a plan in place 😮
The meatballs look tasty though 😏
I love ikea for very specific things like desks and organization stuff or basics but everything else isn’t my vibe I have a theme that I can’t find there but they do have some good stuff as well
Yes I agree! Their storage is insanely good!
For someone who was overwhelmed and not enthusiastic, you got some nice things. The Ikea experience is so much fun. It’s Swedish decor which tends to be minimalist,but the prices are unparalleled in any other retailer. Now I want dozens of Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and lots of gravy. It’s all your fault! 😂👍🏻😂
So glad Grandpa Preda finally caught up to the Ikea trend but it was so worth the wait cuase now we get the endulge in a nostalgic video, I miss the 2018 ikea vlogs so seeing this was so refreshing.
Hahahaha how dare you!!!! I just get overwhelmed in big stores, I’m a Facebook marketplace girlie!
@@MisterPreda we stan a thrifty girly 🤍
Omg I misss Friendly’s ice cream!!! They sometimes carry it in the grocery stores in the south but nothing like the blackberry in the NE!!!
9:28 the elders in the back 😂😂
First time?! You’ve been missing out! I love it for basics.
Great for basics!
I never thought that all the food at IKEA actually is the same in USA as it is in Sweden (my home country). Meat balls are the best.
growing up with a finnish mum we put lingonberry jam on everythinnnnggg! especially grilled chicken its so yummy
I love seeing kalel in your videos!
Those Sallskaplig glasses were trending on tiktok here in Norway (maybe Scandinavia?) a while back! People would use them to serve dessert, not necessarily for drinks! Very cute 😇
You are cute❤😊
Ikea in the late 80's and early 90's had amazing designs , the lamps where heavy and solid , now its more for storage , organization and hot dogs.
Early, love you❤
love your videos and got say the meatballs are the reason most people go to Ikea and also their mustard is the sheeeeeezzzzz
I could eat an entire bag that’s why I didn’t buy any lol
I love watching your videos and hearing about Friendlys and the Stoughton Ikea. Lol. Essex county represent. 😂❤ Haverhill still has a Friendlys. Very few left!
3:58 "it's actually Betty Ford" that actually made me snort chuckle🤣🤣
I love IKEA but I agree - you need to look up what you want before you go. You just can't look at everything in there, it's too much. I would guess that like 70 % of my home is from IKEA lol but I'm Swedish. And my style is pretty Scandinavian minimalistic and simple but cozy, so it works. I usually shop online too because I don't have a car and I don't want to be exhausted.
I would say that the food at IKEA is like school lunch, not even close to great. The fika is nice and affordable though. What they really should be known for is their scented candles! I buy allll of my candles from IKEA. They're cheap but good quality and they smell incredible. I don't even like vanilla scented stuff but the IKEA candles are amazing. You have to check back in the winter for christmas scented candles!
May I say you are looking very handsome today, UK based - been going to IKEA for the last 20 years and never leave with out my weight in candles each time… fantastic place for kids bedroom stuff… and wrapping paper , and kitchen paraphernalia 💕… and putting our kids through Uni cheap furniture- love your videos and your garden is blooming beautifully 🌺
Omg, I thought I was the only one who mixed BBQ and Ranch. I hate BBQ dipping sauce but when I was pregnant I was craving it so bad so to be able to eat it I would mix it with ranch dipping sauce and found out it is so good together. Ever since that is how I will eat BBQ dipping sauce.
It was DELECTABLE
I have been to ikea since I was a kid and my Mum always used to get our furniture for our house. We have moved out of our house (my childhood) and most of our furniture was from ikea. It is really easy to put together depending on what you have bought. I highly recommend the Daim chocolate bars and cheesecake as they are delicious. I’m from the uk and we have a better selection of goodies 😊❤
Excellent vlog as usual Daniel! Hmm, perhaps talk show host in the future?
Those glasses would be great for a dessert , like a triffle or tiramisu
Thank you for talking about swapping pillow covers instead of the whole pillow! So much better if you don’t have a lot of space to store a bajillion pillows.
Burbank Ikea! They have great bath towels at Ikea. Those big tea lights could go in the champagne glasses
Love going to Ikea, we did that alot as kids when we had nothing else to do . Me and my sister would play in the different rooms and dad would buy some stuff and we get a hotdog before going home, when we got older it was the meatballs, potatos and sauce we ate, its really suppose to be whole potatos not mashed but i know you cant really get that in the us as its only for breakfast 🙈 thats what the guy working at the Ikea in the us where we visited said , also the cinnabuns they sell are not Swedish either as we dont put frosting on them , would make it to sweet 🙈
I live in Pittsburgh. We used to go to Ikea for the food! HELLO?!?!?! They had amazing breakfast items there and I think it was unlimited, but this is long ago. We used to look at our dirty plates and be like "WAIT! DID WE EAT ALL OF THAT?!" But I agree. It's good for staples, but not for unique house items. Side bar: THOSE GLASSES ARE ON POINT! XOXO
You should try the Almond Cake. It is to die for. My grandparents owned a Swedish Bakery in Quinsig Village, which was known as where Swedish immigrants would live in Worcester, MA.
Had to read the title again was thinking "Wait what FIRST time", so used to IKEA as a Swede
Eat the berry spread with Camembert it’s the best
I always enjoy your content. Thanks Daniel 😊 🫂
Hi Daniel
My comment has nothing to do with Ikea, however, it needs to be said...
Your skin looks fabulous! Whatever you are doing is making you positively glow.
Yum, lingonberry sauce, it was served with your meatballs! *My favourite salad dressing recipe for a one person salad* (use any kind of fruit preserves) -- mix 2 tablespoons of both oil, vinegar, add a sprinkling of fine herbs, and 1 tablespoon of lingonberry sauce. Stir then drizzle over greens with green apple and celery, and lastly freshly cracked pepper and a pinch of pink salt overtop.
A tip: whenever your preserves jar is nearly empty, make salad dressing right in the jar to use up the jam, good to the drop. 😊
Honestly Daniel… THANK U for always eating healthy. I’ve been eating horrible and so much fast food and i feel SICK. My body feels like trash and thinking about anything junk food is making me actually wanna throw UP. Now I know why your so healthy because oh my goodness it two different worlds one healthy and one not. Can u tell us ur favorite foods/snacks that make you feel better?
❤ I get to be first! Will comment after vlog. Idea looks overwhelming for me. Love your sweater! Sending love ❤️ and big bear 🐻 hugs from north Ga.
It’s a LOT!
I'm shocked you found the food so fast! The IKEA near me is like a maze with secret passages. I cannot get in and out of there in under 90 minutes and get turned around and cannot find the checkout to escape!
I've tried the meatballs twice. I thought the first time I couldn't eat them must have been a bad batch of gravy or something since everyone thinks they're amazing. Second go at them, still didn't like them and their drink options are not good, you can't get caffeine! I think I would starve if I found myself in Sweden.
I'm 100% with you on how overwhelming it is with products absolutely everywhere. I don't go in anymore because it's so hard for me to find what I'm looking for even when I know which department it's in. First I have to navigate the labyrinth and trap doors just to find the department. 2 hours later I'm still trying to find the exit. I only do curbside pickup if there's something I want there, but really the only things I ever find myself wanting from Ikea are their big storage bags.
I do miss the little rooms though. I always felt like I was on set starring in my own sitcom, filmed before a live studio audience.
I was hoping you would post!!! ✨💖🎥✨
Here I am!
Dannnnni those candles will stain your walls!
You remind me of Phoebe from friends because she only wanted items in her house that had a story. 😂❤️ she’s my fav character by the way. 😉
I think there is a time in your life that IKEA products work for you and then you move on to something better/nicer. I haven’t been in a decade but there was a time I went once a year just to see what new ideas the company produced. Entertaining video!
I agree! It’s def good for Knick knacks, gadgets, plants, candles, lights etc. I think a lot of the furniture was expensive for what it is
I have a panic attack every time I go to ikea lol. It’s definitely overwhelming. Love you and you videos💕
I never go through the show room. I usually just enter through the exit & go straight to the market. Also if you add things to your cart on the app, it tells you which aisle your furniture is in. Who’s got time for the circus of a store lol
I can't believe you never been there! It's a fun experience once in awhile lol
Challenge-Cooking with Mister Preda where he recreates his own spin on Ikea/Starbucks/Wendy's etc. favorites...could work because I remember when he shared his baking/iced coffee recipes over on Insta, and they looked incredible!
Love your sweater! Where did you get it?
Urban outfitters last year!
The ikea stuffed plushes are so cute... also the fake ivy wall panels are a treasure, sorry not sorry!! Love u even if u disagree... ♥ LOL
I never went to one either hopefully one day I’ll go
I feel like IKEA is good for the smaller items. Like you got. Furniture wise for me it just seems cheap. Not price wise but quality. I haven’t been in years so maybe it has changed? 🤷♀️ Loved your haul. I want to get those larger tea lights.
P.S. I liiiive for the shade 🤣🤣🤣
I really like IKEA, been buying furniture off and on for years, I like just walking around the store for fun just to waste time now and then. The only thing that's been kind of annoying of late is how much their prices have gone UP, by like a lot. Went recently to replace one of my small bookshelves (to go cherry/brown astatic to all black astatic), just the door along was more than what I originally paid for the old cabinet, additional shelf and the door... $150 for a single cabinet (was $45 before for all 3 parts), ouch. Not to mention them always having something out of stock when you have to buy the separate parts by piece it sucks. Get the door but not the extra shelf, or get the shelf and the door but wait a month for the cabinet...
The food has always been overrated and over priced for what it is.
You eat the jam (lingon) with meatballs or meat like moose like we do in norway 🙌🏻
And, the IKEA in Mass is in Stoughton.
The first time I ever visited Ikea was 3 years ago (biggest one on the Eaat coast) and there was almost no one inside due to COVID, but I still had a full on panic attack inside. I have never had that happen in public before. I felt like I was in a weird fun house and felt disoriented and started to get dizzy and sick and it all felt a bit uncanny Valley. My daughter was with me and she has never had a panic attack in her life and she had one too. I order ikea online now and pick it up. I cannot go inside. 😢
I hope you go to Costco one day 😂 I love going in there❤
Every time Ive gone there I got lost. Good indoor plants, lamps & bedding.
Daniel!! Next time get the lingonberry slushee willl ruin slushees for you forever! The best
I live in France and have gone to IKEA for simple things. When we get our lunch there, we can also get wine. I’m not sure if wine is available in the US?
Never been to IKEA before but have been by it many times. Those meatballs looked great. My mother had a meatball recipe as the young ones would say mega bussin. Thanks for taking us for the ride. Now I can say I’ve been to IKEA. 😊
You need to try Swedish cinnamon buns (kanelbullar) one day. They are so good. Maybe make them yourself. Marabou chocolate is nice too.
Where is your sweater from??
Ikea is good if you have small spaces. You don’t buy them as forever pieces but function.
How is that ikea so empty? Where I live you can’t crossover from oneside of the store to the other with hitting someone with your cart.
We have an IKEA in Latvia, I've been there a couple of times (cus it's too far from where I live) and all I can say is that I don't think their offers are that great tbh. The furniture is overpriced, the food also overpriced, my mom and i went last month and paid around 25 euros for 2 cakes, 2 main dishes and 2 drinks. That's crazy expensive for Latvia. I pay that at a restaurant- yes. But in IKEA - that's cafeteria food. Very weird. The only thing that I liked was the selection of plates. If it's on sale, you can get a great deal. We got these super cute plates for like 0.59 euros a piece. We only took 6 and I really regret that, should have taken at least 12. Everyone in my family really likes them. And last time we went, we got even cheaper deal of 0.39 euros per plate. And they have like wild summer flowers drawn on them, really cute (daisies, cornflowers etc).
We don't have an IKEA here in Hawai'i. I have heard it's not everything it's all it's made out to be... Glad you were able to find some things that you were looking for. 💞 ALOHA FROM HAWAI'I 💞🌹 LYSSA 🌹
In Ireland we don't have an Ikea we just have shops that have a bit of everything
I am 50% Swedish. My mother was 100% Swede and we lived the culture of a Swede. IKEA is on point with its food. Especially the meatballs.
I found it so funny when he said the food didn’t have salt when swedes eat more salt than most countries in the world! I guess it’s the american menu and cooking (your menu is very different from ours anyway) :) /swede
Yes the ikea here in Mass is in Stoughton lol
Skagen is a town in Denmark 🙂
