Stick to the Swedish meatballs?
Meet IKEAs Motivational Mirror a wall accessory whose only job is to deliver effusive, 100% genuine compliments like Magnificent beard! and Your eyes are mesmerizing! and Darling, your dress looks amazing! (Even though it kind of looks like a shirt but its the thought that counts.)
The Swedish furniture retailer put the promotional mirror in a British store last week, bestowing personalised compliments to provide the nation with a much needed morale boost, according to a statement .
IKEA-commissioned research found 44% of people in the UK are critical of their appearance and 26% say they feel uncomfortable looking in a mirror. BUT 26% also said that a kind word makes them like themselves more. And thus, a Dove-esque empowerment stunt was born.

Yet again, art becomes life. "Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who's the fairest of them all?" (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)
If a piece of furniture spoke to me I'd pay attention to what it said.
I'm going to get one for my mini doxie. All day it will tell her, ''your not short''...
Hmmmmm, maybe I should get one for my doggie when I am away...
