I agree I don’t like gnomes either

[@FASTIT08]

Those Area not gnomes! Those are elves❤

[@kristenbahr7394]

The three cylinder centrepiece is my favourite! Got to make it!

[@thediymommy]

I love that one too!

[@hdkirsop]

I actually like gnomes and have several Christmas gnomes. Thanks for sharing. I need to make a trip soon.

[@thediymommy]

You should!

[@snorlund1]

I liked the last arrangement with the pinecones the best! 😊

[@creartivebynature]

Gnomes are a European tradition, dates back hundreds of years ago. Mushrooms as well, very traditional for them, especially around the holidays. I didn't mind them, I used to make them. Not anymore. It gets tiring. It has become too much, overdone!! Ugh, I wish I was closer to an Ikea, so many fun things to see!! Thanks for taking us along 😊

[@thediymommy]

It is fun to see all the new stuff they come out with every year! 😄

[@gigi2819]

LOVE the two DIY! So simple, so elegant!

[@StarLight-sl9ok]

Yes, I love the gnome in the home! Much less creepy than elf on the shelf.

[@Amacott99]

Gnomes and Scandinavia go hand in hand. I just got back from IKEA here in Singapore….this year their Christmas line is absolutely beautiful. I bought so many pretties.

[@Bratzilla1966]

i loved all of them, but the snow globe cake plate was too cute!

[@thediymommy]

Thank you!

[@SusyTH]

Love how the gift basket came together & the three candles display idea!

[@lindaeshbach6494]

OMG!! I totally agree, I hate gnomes! I do t get what people see in them. Thanks for showing us Ikea

[@끙끙-u7c]

Love the idea of Christmas candle deco with cylinder vases. Gorgeous! Great inspiration for my home as well.

[@thediymommy]

So glad it gave you some ideas!

[@susangooden1055]

Omg. I thought it was just me. I can’t get excited about gnomes. Lol.

[@mrsladybird]

I'm so not into the gnomes either. I was over them as soon as they started!😊

[@thediymommy]

They're everywhere 😳

[@Barb-cx7gk]

I'm from Germany, we never had Gnome decor and I can't stand them. Thanks for your very inspirational videos, I enjoy watching them! 💖

[@Jennifer-bs6oy]

I'm sooo glad and relieved this video found me. I'm Not a gnome person and since I'm confessing i don't care for gingerbread person or nutcrackers either. There! Whew! I feel better now that's off my shoulders/chest I do like bells and trees. Winter decor

[@pennyspears4513]

Love the candles with lights in the glass domes. Beautiful

[@kathyreeves1560]

The candles in the cylinder display is my favourite. The Vaughan Ikea was just starting to setup their Christmas displays on Monday. I will be returning soon to check them out! I love their wrapping paper. It really is great. Thanks for sharing!!! Made a wishlist!

[@jaclyngannon7436]

Love the snow globe platter! I would definitely glue down the ornament and tree in the little bowl though, because I could never store it carefully enough to not mess it all up! 😂

[@thediymommy]

Good idea! 😂

[@JacquiGiesbrecht]

Not a fan of the gnomes either but I really like all the different holiday themed containers.

[@kaymackenzie8219]

So glad I'm not the only gnome hater.

[@phyllisdrinnen1837]

I don't care for gnomes either. They just give me a weird vibe too. 😂 I loved the idea with the cylinders and faux pinecones. Thanks for sharing.

[@charityolubunmiadekoya9432]

this particular gnomes, i am loving.

[@slfawcett9598]

Loved the DIY ideas! I intensely dislike gnomes!

[@daniellehari5974]

For that expanding tree rack that would be great for someone who likes minimalist or tight living quarters.....I would hang vintage ornaments on it.

[@snorlund1]

Traumatized by the gnomes! 😂 I feel that way about clowns! 😂

[@JayceeCali]

I absolutely detest gnomes!!! TFS your Ikea visit, unavoidable gnomes and all (and your festive DIYs)! 💜 💜 💜

[@thediymommy]

They’re everywhere! 😂

[@lindaeshbach6494]

Love the 3 cylinder vases

[@lisageilhausen1866]

I’m Norwegian-American and I love gnomes! But not everywhere, just a few here and there.

[@michelebaron5708]

I love gnomes also. I have several.

[@priscillawhinery9581]

the pots and the ornament bundles

[@dko3623]

Team No Gnomes!

[@beherenowkc5973]

Omg thank you for validating my no gnome aesthetic lol😅

[@katrinaassoumou1531]

Thank you for all of your ideas because they are great! Amen

[@thediymommy]

Glad you liked them!

[@MelAtlNP]

I love gnomes

[@MyFocusVaries]

Thanks for the tour. I think gnomes are adorable. I laugh every time I see one. I understand they have cultural origins in Scandinavia, where the gnome is a protector of the home. But I don't buy them because I'm a minimalist. And I know some folks are scared of them, as some are scared of clowns. To each their own. Great gift basket idea. I love practical gifts that are beautiful, too.

[@thediymommy]

Thanks for watching!

[@katharineamin6066]

Thanks so much for the tour

[@donnajohansson4105]

Love the gift basket idea.❤

[@thediymommy]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@deborahingrim2168]

Girl!!! I really do not like the little old men, Gnomes. My family overheard me telling someone at our Thanksgiving day celebration. NOW, I kid you not the whole family gets me gnomes as gag gifts for Christmas along with my gift normal gift. It really is funny. This year, everyone at Christmas brunch, I am passing out gnomes for everyone!!!

[@thediymommy]

Oh no, that's hilarious! 😅

[@julieanne7223]

And I was going to send you a gnome for xmas...........loved the basket idea Christine, the basket did look good once you added all your bits and pieces. Thank you for sharing, I always love your Ikea shopping trips 😆

[@thediymommy]

Haha! I'm glad you liked the basket.

[@michelewilliams4485]

I love the gnomes and have several

[@thealee3157]

If you don’t like gnomes don’t go into IKEA for goodness sake 😂😂😂

[@marthaspector9075]

Great finds!

[@MaureenLambierStaff]

Love the DIY candles but so expensive in Canada

[@nancyk777]

I'm not of fan of gnomes either, I feel your pain. You might be able to order the wooden tree that you liked online? Love your DIY ideas!

[@lindaroyal8161]

Suggestion - you could make something to use instead of the expanding rack, for advent bags. Cut a tree shape out of 1/4" plywood, screw on wood pegs. Paint the tree green or white, I'd screw the pegs on from the back. Mini gift bags, could get from the dollar tree and cricket the numbers for them. I think the rack was my favorite also No ..I'm not a gnome person either. We have a family member whose name is Naomi and her nick name is gnomie. I wish we had an IKEA closer to my town, it's 50 miles round trip.

[@thediymommy]

I love the idea of the DIY advent tree!

[@lindaroyal8161]

@@thediymommy - you're good at DIY's and have a cricket, would be cheaper to make one vs buy the Ikea one. It will show others how to make one also.

[@denisefonda2815]

Christina, I live in New York and there are no close IKEAs, so I always order what I can. I really liked the red print duvet cover, I’m going to see if it’s available online. I love the simplicity of your pine cone candles in the cylinder vases, I’ll have to check to see if the candles are available on the US site. A belated Happy Thanksgiving and have a nice Christmas season.

[@thediymommy]

Thanks! I hope you find everything you’re looking for!

[@strawberrycheesecake5502]

I think you have to grow up in certain parts of northern Europe for the gnomes. I like them, but I think its because they remind me of christmas markets and stories about christmas gnomes from childhood.

[@johnnyeannlee476]

You are t the only one who dislikes gnomes. My sister gets really annoyed with all,of them everywhere.

[@thediymommy]

They're everywhere! 😂

[@barefootreba]

I do not like gnomes myself. My mom had the seven dwarfs in ceramic garden deco all over in her yard. 😮

[@tea.chi3]

No gnomes for me or elves on shelves

[@lynelafreniere8178]

Yes, NO Gnomes.

[@megcreates2.0]

I don’t like gnomes either 😒

[@janelandry6584]

I agree - no gnomes. Overdone for sure. I like what you did with the snow globe tray.

[@lorithrower2467]

Gnomes are a love it or hate it thing I think. I love the simple gnomes but not those creepy garden guys.😅

[@effectivepresenter2046]

IKEA has a few artificial trees and a new 2024 Christmas tree, we would like to see them.

[@rosemarypowell6635]

Not a fan of gnomes either!!! I loved the diy snow globe tray it could be personalized to the recipient ❤️

[@TeresaATerriGrover]

Yes I love the nomes

[@mirandamaltais380]

Do you have a link for the faux greenery stems from Amazon?

[@debrap947]

No Ikea trips this year, again!😑 Gnomes aren't allowed on my property, not a fan. 😆

I don't like gnomes or mushrooms! Mushrooms were big in 1981-82, so I've had my fill of them!

[@d.d.mac.3773]

Thank you for taking us along! Not a fan of gnomes.

[@kaaayl11]

$50 for a tree collar idk if i can justify but i also need one this year. Is this kinda the best price around 😭😭😭

[@mssixty3426]

I always liked garden gnomes, but never cared for having them inside the house. I've never spent the money to buy or craft a gnome.

[@karencoulombe7412]

Hi from Edmonton. I am not a gnome lover either.

[@Theyhear247]

Use any kind of cooking oil (olive, canola, etc) dab on a paper towel and rub onto the sticky label - comes off easily ❤😊

[@riseechandler3719]

I’ve never liked the gnomes

[@janellecross367]

No on Gnomes!!! LOL

[@paintpink7300]

Very festive, very cozy. Is like very demure, very mindful? 😂

Yes! 😂

Gnomes, Nisse, or tomte are Scandinavian in origin, not German.

[@laurieg2436]

NO GNOMES!

[@carolinb52]

I’m done with gnomes!

[@lorimecikalski3079]

I too dislike gnomes. You'd think the fad would have passed by now...

[@sayasims886]

It's traditional, not a fad

[@celticsurfersully13]

I had to laugh when you said you were traumatized by gnomes. It's nutcrackers for me! Must say I would never buy a gnome. 😀

[@thediymommy]

I'm not a huge fan of nutcrackers either! 😳

[@kathyprice3248]

I hate them to!

[@ourhome8521]

No to Gnomes

[@Nittanyliongirl]

I'm so sick of gnomes. They're everywhere, even at higher end decor stores. Stop, please!!

[@IamSnowbird]

I can't with the gnomes. When they first came out they were cute. But year after year for every holiday I'm just sick of them.

[@sportshockey5430]

Ikea has out-of-stock items about 60% of the time, so why have it displayed with a label, lol; I wouldn't waste my time in that store; that's why everything is so called cheaper; & their return line has people waiting in line from outside the store, lol.

[@Janelle2120]

your like me, i hate gnomes,to me they are not christmas

[@thediymommy]

I just don't get it 😂

[@sayasims886]

Since IKEA is Swedish and the gnomes/nissar are Scandinavian, they are very much Christmas for us. IKEA simply puts out traditional Scandinavian decor in modern style

[@kathyyarbrough8656]

I detest gnomes and I do not understand the thousands who like them. They look like a child’s toy. Do we decorate with toys now? I just can’t ….

[@sayasims886]

They are meant to be seen as an old homemade craft for celebrating Christmas. They're a traditional Yule decor and the traditional aspect of the gnomes ( nissar, tomtar ) gets lost when entering homes that are not familiar with the cultural meaning of the yule gnomes. They protect the house/land, takes care of the farm animals and brings luck, whilst also being a bit mischievous! This reason may be why thousands like them. But they are not toys for sure. IKEA is Swedish, thus they put out traditional Scandinavian decor items

[@karinstieben7589]

NO to gnomes!🤢 🤮🤢

[@karenlee844]

Gnomes = bleh
