IKEA’s SOLGLIMTAR collection has everything you need for every Chinese New Year celebration you are having, whether it is a family reunion dinner or a small get-together with friends. This year, you can get more than just furniture and decor — you can also purchase your favourite C.N.Y. snacks from the IKEA’s Swedish Food Market! These festive delights are available from now to 4 February, or while stocks last, so hurry before you miss out!

Here’s our recommended picks from the SOLGLIMTAR collection for your C.N.Y. festivities:

1. MANDARIN ORANGES

$9.80 (Carton of 24)

$18.80 (RISATORP Basket of 24)

Let’s kick this list off with something that’s now always in our line of sight everywhere we go — Mandarin oranges. In a box of 24 at less than $10, it is an economical find especially if you are expecting plenty of orange-loving visitors during this period. If you like your oranges in full display, you can get a bunch of them bundled in a chic RISATORP basket (in blue or white) for just $18.80. It would look good on your table, and when you are out visiting (if you’ve enough strength to carry them all)!

9. SOLGLIMTAR CHOPSTICKS (2 PAIRS, BAMBOO)

$1.90

These pairs of chopsticks are a must-have at every party, for many good reasons — each pair is made from bamboo (a durable and easy-to-maintain material), making them easy to clean. Plus, each pack of two pairs is priced at less than $2 (that is four chopsticks for less than $2!) so you can buy as many as you need for that big family reunion during Chinese New Year. Just be wary of your dishwasher, as these chopsticks could only be hand-washed.

10. SOLGLIMTAR SPOON

$3.90

Never underestimate the usefulness of the humble spoon, especially at a C.N.Y. reunion feast where numerous serving spoons are required. The SOLGLIMTAR Spoon is made of feldspar porcelain, making it impact-resistant and durable. White, sleek, and aptly S-shaped to prevent slipping from crockery rims, this spoon combines function and form into an easy-to-clean piece that will be everyone’s best friend at the dining table.
