Halloween duvet sets. WTF?

notedbiscuits · 2024-08-30T15:12:21+00:00

Saw in Home Bargains today. Took no notice of sizes or prices. This is worse than Xmas bedding and cushions. I think having themed bedding is pointless and besides you want a Xmas free room to chill out

My American family do this! They change their bedding, decor, even plates and cups to ‘Fall’ Halloween, Xmas, Spring, Summer etc

Who.could.be.arsed.

And don’t get me started on the themed sweaters…

Which is great, because people who would love to decorate, but can't afford even primark prices, get an opportunity to.

I buy a lot of Christmas decorations, bedding, kitchen etc. I wait for local appeals for families and then donate. I'm changing my quilt size, do have five Winter/Christmas bed sets to donate. Any tatty ones go to a local gull rescue.
Halloween for us starts in October (but autumn starts Sep 1st). Christmas decorating anytime in December. People call B&M/Home bargains etc Chav while saying it's a shame that the high street is dying off. Us Chavs are keeping retail and lots of jobs going.

IME us chavs wouldn't be seen dead in a charity shop! 😂

I like the Halloween bedding, as other posters have mentioned a lot of people use this type of decor for the whole autumn season.

I do enjoy that Halloween decor has changed a lot, I've noticed in supermarkets a lot of the items are more reusable and less throw away which I prefer. The bedding is a year after year use thing for me, the same as Christmas bedding is. I think it's nice and brings joy to a lot of people.

I don't understand why there is so much angst about duvet covers yet the amount of clothing people have nowadays is off the charts.

It's all a symptom of the same massive overconsumption. None of it is good.

I don't get why seasonal bedding or decorations which can be used again and again gets a roasting but people are happy to spend tens of pounds on balloons, a birthday arch or display! Unless these are sold on they can't be used again and even if they are they only have a certain life span. To me they are definitely more wasteful.

When I was a kid. The only Halloween things were those witches hats with green or orange hair, fake noses on elastic, fake blood, plastic vampire teeth and glow in the dark witches fingers which are covered with warts. Oh the devil headband

No clothing at all. Ghost - used an old sheet with holes cut out for eyes.
Mummy - loo roll with bits of red paint
Witch - black bin bag with gold and silver stars etc sprayed on.
Devil - red tracksuit - red tights stuffed with newspaper and cardboard tip for tail. Devil headband.

@ChishiyaBat

Oooh I love skulls, that's beautiful!
I couldn't decide between these 2 so got both 🤣

Oooh good choices🖤. I wanted a bat one to go with the bats on my wall, but they were all either poly or out of my price range 😢.

Never thought to look at them! We don't have one anywhere near here though, which is why I never think of it.

I just got stuck in a hole of looking for Halloween bedding online 🙈 Thanks op! 😁

HowAmITheCatsGranny · 31/08/2024 16:00

I was in home bargains today, saw the duvet sets which weren’t really for me, but got a lovely autumn wreath for my front door!

TK Maxx ate the best place for 100% cotton sets

I looked online at tk maxx and they were all poly blend. I didn't see any bedding the last time I was in either, but I do love going there, it's a day out for me😂.

MissyMoz · 31/08/2024 15:39

Tkmaxx is the best

BookishBabe · 31/08/2024 15:33

As a goth, I thank the tat for Halloween decor that stays up all year round !

I just got this 100% cotton on offer for £12.99, what did you get? I found most of them are all polycotton and I don't like it.
It will look lovely with my black silk pillowcases and bat cushion🦇.
