IKEA's $5 mini gingerbread houses are back just in time for Christmas!
- Replies 2
Christmas is just around the corner, and that means it's time to start getting into the festive spirit! One of the best ways to do that (in our opinion, anyway) is with some fun crafts with your friends or family.
One craft that has been gaining popularity in recent years is making (or simply decorating) gingerbread houses. And if you're looking for a reasonably priced gingerbread house kit to help you get started, then IKEA has you covered.
After its success last Christmas, IKEA has finally relaunched their much-anticipated $5 mini gingerbread house kit. The limited-edition Gingerbread House Mini Kit includes six mini houses and a simple guide that allows you to make your own masterpiece.
The miniature kit also comes in two sizes; the mini gingerbread houses cost only $5 each, while the larger size costs $6. You can also buy a separate gingerbread people kit for $5.50 to fill your houses with a family – or you can make a whole gingerbread town if you’re up for the challenge. String can be threaded through the houses so they can be used as festive window decorations (though we’re not sure how well this will fare in the Australian summer heat).
The Swedish retailer also sells frozen $4 gingerbread dough from the Vintersaga collection, which can be used to make decorations or furniture for your gingerbread houses.
The popular gingerbread houses can be seen up close in this TikTok video:
Most Aussies are eager to welcome back the product and said that they were excited to make their own gingerbread towns.
‘Get it every year, it’s the bomb,’ said someone.
‘I need to buy this,’ another commented.
However, some believe that the hassle to make their little gingerbread towns wasn’t worth the $5 price tag.
One traumatised user said: ‘I am not in any way exaggerating when I say I did this last year and ended up sobbing on my kitchen floor covered in egg white.’
If you’re looking to buy the limited-edition miniature gingerbread kits, but don’t know how to make icing for decorations, you need the following ingredients:
Although gingerbread house-making might not be an Aussie tradition, it is a fun way to spend the holiday season with the family. You can even invite a little friendly competition by having a gingerbread house-making contest!
‘Doing this with a group as a Christmas activity would be perfect,’ one woman said.
