Don't be a bonehead — sleep in a bone bed!

You can dress as the Ikea monkey!
If you're at a loss when it comes to costume ideas, try channeling the ultimate Ikea icon: the "stylish but illegal monkey found roaming Toronto Ikea." All you need is a large coat, an Ikea bag, and a forlorn look of abandonment to complete the costume.
Ikea furniture can be used as costume accessories!
Certain Ikea pieces, like this leaf bed canopy ($15), look great when added to Halloween getups.
