Kristen McGowan is one such content creator who has come up with an all-inclusive list of the best things to buy at IKEA. And you can’t afford to miss this.

Before moving on to material items, Kristen says that you should keep their customer service in mind, one of the best IKEA hacks, according to her, is their pickup option.


To save you time and effort, IKEA employees do all the shopping for you, place the items you want on a rolling cart that is super easy to transport to your car, and text you when your order is ready. And the best part is that this service is done for you entirely free.


Moving on to actual products, the first consumer good on Kristen’s list of IKEA hidden gems is a plug-in, portable induction cooktops. Besides taking up minimal space on your countertop and in your cabinet, these portable cooktops are easy to use and are available for less than $70.

    I will definitely get some of the plug in lights. One of these would be great to keep in your luggage to help see in your space at a Hotel, Air B&B or Vrbo.
