We took our IKEA gift card with us on date night to spend Christmas cash.
Ten years ago we’d most likely head for those bigger items, the things we wanted to accrue: the bookshelves, bedding, nightstands or decorative wall hangings.
This night we went straight to the bins of three-dollar items, the things we wanted to replace: measuring cups, potholders, spatulas, plastic dishes, and strainers.
