I werent sure where to post this so if it is in the wrong place please feel free to move ;)

Saw this on the Ikea website by mistake (1/2 way down the page) Maybe only Tameside, Manchester store - not sure if its national??

    Shows up under the Edinburgh store too but when you click the link it takes you to the Save The Children website.

    Does anyone have more information about how you can get this voucher?

    Cheers in advance:beer:

    I am not sure. I came across this accidently whilst looking for a bookcase (dont ask) :o

    It might be worth a call to your local Ikea store to verify if you bring the books to them and exchange for the gift card. I think it would be that way

    Just rung Ikea - you need to take the books to Ikea and they then give you the gift card - £5. Was also told there is no expiry on the gift card.
