IKEA
In typical Scandinavian fashion, IKEA is solving the world’s romantic problems with – you guessed it – a manual. They published the six witty drawings shortly before Valentine’s day in 2016. Although I saw them too late to post last year, I thought they seemed just right for this year’s V-Day post.
“For those who believe that love is complicated, IKEA has the solution to get you through Valentine’s this year. Introducing the IKEA love manual; for troubleshooting your relationship woes” -IKEA
The illustrations helpfully suggest furniture-based solutions to some common romantic issues. And as always, IKEA’s illustrations are crystal clear and transcend language.
I hope everyone -singles, couples, thruples, and beyone – enjoys the day!

Our nearest IKEA is about 80 miles away, off I-95. Who knew?

Never been to one. Have no idea where one is at. I do remember that they were going to open one in greater Memphis TN. I live in a small town in Florida. The nearest one might be down in Tampa FL, about a hundred miles away.

Ikea stores are so overwhelming, I’d like to see statistics on how many couples they have broken up. That said, they really are kind of an adventure, so if you find yourself near one with 2 hours to kill, give it a try. Just don’t get separated.

They are overwhelming! It helps, though, that they have a policy (and signs everywhere!) of being family-friendly. Breastfeeding is encouraged, as well as trying out / playing on the furniture. Plus the cafe is fairly reasonably-priced and very delicious.

Just what the “love doctor” ordered. If you can read the manual, you can probably complete the project. THANX for a very interesting V.Day Blog. ~~dru~~

Brilliant! We enjoy the safe familiarity of IKEA. When we emigrated, we were pleased to discover that IKEA in America is identical in every way to IKEA in Scotland and England.

Well, given we emigrated with no furniture beyond a dining room table and chairs, a coffee table, and a vintage roll top desk, we have loads and loads of things to buy in order to function. We were renting at first so IKEA furniture made sense and was a known quantity in terms of value for money and shopping efficiencies.

I love Ikea furniture. We’re similarly situated with the temporary place. It’s too tiny to fit our not enormous furniture, so we find ourselves needing to buy stuff.
