    Hi - Thanks OP. This sounds great.

    Can I just ask those who did this before - if you manage to collect more than 1 for your family can you use them together in 1 transaction?

    TIA

    Yes, last time we did. I used 4 in one transaction. It does say terms and conditions apply, but does not say what they are. It may be different this time.

    (Last time we were given a plastic gift card with £5.00 on it just the same as if you bought a gift card yourself, but again it does not say what you will get this time around, so it may be different).

    Thats a really good idea. I love the things Ikea have for kids so they could use them to get things for the school.

    When I was getting mine last time, someone had a library book but they would not accept it.The person said they had bought it from the library, but they would not take it, as they said people had been stealing them from the libraries to take into IKEA!!

    Just found this on Ikea website-looks like date has passed for taking books in.
    Donations will be accepted in stores from September 28th through October 11th.

    There is also a list of stores but they come up as links so I can't post.
    Shame I sorted 15 books before checking!
