If you're hanging onto some old furniture, mirrors, or lamps, you'll be pleased to hear that you can trade in select items for an IKEA gift card this week in the Greater Toronto Area. That's right, when you bring in an eligible, gently-used piece of furniture to a participating IKEA location, you'll receive either a $25 gift card for small furniture items or a $50 gift card for large furniture items. "We believe that all furniture deserves a second chance, even furniture that isn't ours," IKEA Canada's website reads.
