With the branches in Dhahran, Jeddah and Riyadh- it’s hard for us not to go a little crazy.
It got us talking in the Lovin Saudi HQ about trips to Ikea, which tend to go a little out the plan.
1. Inspiration: “Let’s go to Ikea!”
You realise you need things, storage solutions and kitchen gadgets – a few more candles and a pot plant. It’s time.
2. Trepidation: Oh crap, it’s a Friday
And Ikea is going to be RAMMED
3. Wonderment: You’ve arrived and you’re ready for your big adventure!
4. OMG I want everything: These are all so useful!
5. Wait, what does this thing even do?
6. Bewilderment at your shopping buddy: “You actually like that one?”
7. My friends/partner has the worst taste
8. Wait…do I even need any of this?
9. THESE ARE ONLY SAR19?!
10. I really do need another lamp, and a picture frame and this peeler, and I really need ALL these boxes..but get me out of here you guys
11. Let’s go get some meatballs
12. OMG how will I fit all this in my car?
13. OMG how do I even put this together?
14. WHY DIDN’T I READ THE INSTRUCTIONS?
15. Oh, that’s how it goes. Yay!
