IKEA Australia is getting a lot of attention today after they announced on Valentine’s Day that they would give away a free crib to any parents whose child is born nine months from now, on November 14th.
The company has garnered a lot of talk on social media forums particularly, where many are praising the furniture makers for a cute, attention-grabbing ad…even if a baby conceived on Valentine’s Day won’t necessarily be born on November 14th.
Ikea has a free baby crib for any babies born 9 months from yesterday. #woahhhderrr
