While the holiday season is the most anticipated time of the year, it can also be the busiest and the messiest.

Make your home holiday-ready reunions and merrymaking festivities that are about to come with smart storage solutions from IKEA.

• VIMLE — sofa series that can be arranged any way you like. It offers a low and deep modular design and provides hidden storage that can be used to stow away items.
• BESTÅ — a simple unit enough to keep items in a limited space or as a foundation for a larger storage solution if you need more.
• KALLAX — one can choose whether to place it standing and use it as a shelving unit or lying and use it as a sideboard.
• DRÖNA — with the design inspired by ancient Chinese cloud patterns, representing the worship of nature and the wish for a good life. It is a good size for slightly more significant things like clothes, media accessories, and toys.
• KUGGIS — a good size for small things like cables, chargers, creams, and nail polish. It fits BILLY bookcases and other units with shelves that are at least 7⅛" deep.
• EKEDALEN — table legs are always in the corners of the tabletop even when the table is extended, so there is plenty of room for chairs under the table.
• IKEA 365+ — the snap-and-lock lid prevents leakage and protects the contents from frost damage, making it ideal for transporting food and storing leftovers.

Christmas is approaching fast, and it's the perfect time to prepare for the festive season without breaking the bank. Embrace the joy of saving with these special discounts and offers: Up to 20 percent off on BESTÅ storage systems and KUGGIS boxes until 22 October, and 50 percent off on truck delivery fees with a minimum purchase of P10,000 to any point in Luzon until 5 November.

IKEA will also be offering new holiday treats at the Swedish Restaurants and Cafe, including the Rosemary Chicken has organic elk pasta, broccoli, Leche Flan Latte and Pistachio Cake.

Christmas hampers filled with best-selling Swedish food treats are up at the Swedish Food Market.
