Bring Your Own Friends Day at IKEA

IKEA thinks the best part of improving life at home is sharing the experience with friends. After all, "the more lives we improve, the better we feel" says the store. On March 9th, bring your friends to a local IKEA store near you for a day of special perks and rewards, including:

- Food Specials: Treat yourself! Download and bring coupons (see attached image and "like" IKEA on Facebook to print your coupons now) for free breakfast and special offers in the Swedish Food Market. Plus, deduct the cost of your meal in the restaurant from IKEA merchandise purchases over $100 with IKEA's Eat for Free offer!

- Ask a Home Furnishings Expert: Personal meets professional when you get real design and decoration advice from our experts.

Just be sure to bring a friend. Plus, for every RSVP received (up to 25,000), IKEA will donate $1 to Save the Children's Early Steps for School Success, so you'll be helping IKEA give back to the community too!
