I love their bathroom stools for just over £5, we have two, they are strong and stackable, turned upside down in the trailer they are a useful container - the gas cylinder fits inside along with a few odds and sods, we then use it as a stool for reaching roof box and lastly, a perfect size to use as coffee/bedside tables in the tent.

Another blue frying pan fan here too, lol. I also love the griddle pan we have too - with a folding handle so perfect for camping :) We also have a red fleece throw for the dogs bed.

Im one of the blue frying pan brigade - so good we own 3, one for camping and two for the house.

Another brilliant buy is the wok. We've just bought another one for camping and its great value.

Their own version of crocs are great too and only i think 2 quid.

We also got 2 sets of cutlery for camping and they were only a couple of quid each too. Ikea Rocks!!

Although a leather couch we bought about 8 months ago has a broken zip on the cushion and we didnt realise till the last few nights when the zip has come apart on the (sewn in) cushion and we cant get it to sit properly anymore. I'll need to phone the helpline methinks.

Dont forget the free coffee and tea with the family card.

Have to add that the black or white fabric storage shelves (the ones you use hanging in a wardrobe) are perfect for putting your clothes in for transportation - squeeze the shelves with all your stuff in it into some space in the car and hang them up in the tent as soon as you arrive. Or just lay them on the floor under the sloping walls of the tent to use the space there.

By the way - got a second blue frying pan today! And some of those hooks for kitchen gear, they are great in my frame tent.

There are those who would disagree with you all about how good Ikea is:

Just been to Ikea. 120 mile round trip and hell it was worth it.
It's now official I am now a member of the blue frying pan brigade.
Also got some throws. Pot set for £6. knifes, chopping mats, pillows amongst other things. Even had lunch while there.
The wife says its least we have ever spent in ikea and got a ton of stuff.
Thanks for this post as I never thought about half the stuff we got.
8 weeks in counting till we go. I wonder what I could buy from now till then. (maybe another, bigger trailer)

Love IKEA but it's a bit of a journey. My fav item for camping; their cheap little rugs of which we have 8 instead of a tent carpet at 1;00 - 1>99 each a bargain.
Their large zip bags are brilliant for holding all our bedding & the mats & fleeces to pack in the car but my best buy is 2 cloth zip storage boxes which fold flat for travelling. I can get all our clothes unpacked into them.
