Meatball scented candles bring home the IKEA smell

A candle that smells like meatballs?

At the back of my head, I’m thinking this is a huge departure from the collaboration with Ben Gorham, which resulted in the OSYNLIG collection, an artful range of 13 scents.

But strangely this meatball candle got me more excited than Mr. Gorham’s concoctions.

IKEA HUVUDROLL meatball scented candles for IKEA FAMILY celebration

IKEA created the HUVUDROLL Meatball Scented Candles to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of IKEA Family, the company’s loyalty programme. The goal is to bring the iconic smell from the store to your living room. Hmm … I’m not sure I want a lingering beefy scent in my home but TBH I’m curious whether it smells like the real thing. Aren’t you?

“For many people, one of the first things that comes to mind when they think of IKEA is their delicious and affordable Swedish meatballs,” Sho Matsuzaki, creative director at Ogilvy, which spearheaded the creative project with IKEA, told The NY Post. “There’s no other furniture brand out there with a food offering that has such a strong following. So for the IKEA Family 10-year anniversary, we thought it would be fitting to create something unexpected that our IKEA Family members and meatball super-fans would love. And yes, it does very much smell like IKEA meatballs.”

It’s not the first time IKEA used their famous meatballs in a promotion. In April 2020 IKEA released its signature recipe with the cooking steps depicted in its usual assembly instruction drawings.

Nor are they a stranger to experiences packed in a box. Last August, IKEA UAE came up with a fun staycation idea — Vacations in a Box — to bring a little wanderlust into your home.

Go take part and if you win, let me know whether the meatball scented candles evokes the IKEA feeling.

Hackers Help: How to remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions. The right sized drill bits and a Forstner bit should do the trick. A Forstner bit will drill a flat-bottomed hole (...
