IKEA Australia offers free crib for babies born 9 months from today

IKEA knows what you’ll be doing tonight, readers.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, IKEA Australia will give away a free crib to any baby who is born nine months from today, on November 14, 2013.

For the babies born the week of Veterans Day, parents will have to present the IKEA advertisement as well as proof of birth. Or, you know, you can just pay the $99 it costs to buy a crib from IKEA.

If only nature worked so smoothly, right? Just because a baby is conceived on Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean he or she will be born exactly nine months after. Pregnancy is a little more complicated than that. Babies are born early. Some are born late. There are so many variables. So, really, it’s anyone’s game.
