IKEA sure knows what its customers want. If you love eating their Swedish meatballs, they’re now giving you the chance to smell like their cult-favorite dish too.

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the IKEA U.S. Family Program, the beloved flat-pack company has released the HUVUDROLL Meatball scented candle. The limited-edition item is part of the IKEA Store in a Box, which brings together the sensory experiences of visiting an IKEA store all in one compact box.

“The Store in a Box is a surprise and delight item that takes the best, more recognizable pieces of an IKEA store to bring it home,” the company said.

This isn’t IKEA’s first big candle announcement in recent years. In 2020, the retailer partnered with another iconic Swede, Ben Gorham, the founder of luxury fragrance and candle company Byredo. OSYNLIG was a limited-edition candle collection of 13 scents meant for mixing and matching to create your home’s unique fragrance.

You can only get the IKEA Store in a Box through a sweepstakes. IKEA Family members can join by heading over to IKEA-USA.com/10YearsofFamily from August 6 to 22, 2021. You can also check out the website to see more deals ($50-$100 off select BRATHULT sofas) and new products (like the SPORTSLIG duvet cover and pillowcase) to celebrate the occasion.
