Halloween duvet sets. WTF?

I love it.

I don't have halloween bedding but I have some decs that are already out. You only use them for a short time year after year so they're not wasteful either.

If it makes people happy, there's nothing wrong with that.

🤣🤣🤣. I think I love you. This has made my morning.

I don't normally do seasonal themed stuff, but I do have a Halloween bedding set (which gets used all year) which has black cats on it. Because I own (am owned by?) several black cats.

But Halloween comes every year, so you could get a decade out of them if you have kids the right ages.

I am not a fan of plastic tat but some printed bedding doesn’t seem that offensive. Could be cut up and used for costumes eventually.

Exactly this.
See also ‘hygge’ - IMO a very clever marketing ploy to sell blankets, candles and throws.

@SummerSplashing ooops....bad maths 😬😂😱
Yes you are very correct 😂😂😂

Don’t buy it then, not worth getting your (non themed) knickers in a twist about it is it?

@merrymaryquitecontrary

mote money than sense, but at least other people will be able to get some bits they might have been able to buy at retail prices.

i wish I could be that emotionally detached from stuff!

I often think that Wall-E is a documentary too

@Needmorelego

mot wishing to be maths police but I'm sure you meant to say 1/4 of the year🫢

i need to win the lottery I NEED more Lego, Halloween for sure!!

I've started a gothic gallery wall. Taking me a while as I'm hunting for nice prints and bits to go on it, mixing it in with some Romeo and Juliet and Buffy stuff

I didn't know that Halloween interior design was a thing until last year I was in the queue in Primark and overheard two women discussing what they were buying for "Halloween decor". It included duvet covers, throws, bathmats and various pumpkin shaped ceramic jars. One asked the other where she stored the Halloween stuff when she changed over for the christmas decor, and she replied that she just gave everything away to the charity shop as she not only didn't have the space, but there would be new stuff out every year so she wouldn't want to keep old stuff!

the 'waste of money' people clearly think we're buying stuff and putting it away end of halloween.

Oh.. honey, no. its out all year around. Most of my house decor is from Killstar or Nemesis now. My halloween purchases just get added to the rest.

I tell a lie, there is a small handful of things i put away, namely the tacky tinsel cat, my autumnal garland, and my pumpkin lantern. have to have something special to put out over Samhain.

Considered making a halloweeen tree this year just to piss people off.

TK Max have a load of actually really cool Gothic plates with skulls on. I'm not in the least into Halloween but I thought they were very cool!

i have a giant tapestry with snakes/pentagram/astrology all over it above my bed, an Altar on my sideboard, and a bunch of creepy-ass cryptid stuffies on my chest of drawers, and fairies/dragons staring down from the walls... There's also owls, rabbits, foxes and deer all over my bedspread, and ghosts on my rug.. and it never bothered my partner <shrug>

@MistressoftheDarkSide your house sounds awesome🖤!!

Well there you go.., The nightmare before Christmas ones can be used for Halloween and Christmas!

@Needmorelego

I have one like that, bought c1989. I love it still, but it's now so faded you can barely see it once had stripes!! But it feels perfect! It too is one step away from a traumatic toe nail end of life catastrophic!!😢

I have some Hallowe'en teatowels with black cats on them, but I happen to own two Black Cats so I could use these all year
I love Hallowe'en , though I only decorate on the night itself and give out sweets if I;m here ( if I'm not then no decoration)

And I have Winter Bedding ( DS and DD have grey nordic deer and fir tree , DH and I have wine red with a couple of robin patterned pillowcases ) goes on Dec 1st untill it stops being cold ( washed obvs)

DD insists on Nov 1st for hers !

Life would be very dull without the seasonal celebrations tbh. I'm not into Christian Christmas IYSWIM, but I enjoy the magical trappings. These things all developed to stave off fear, depression and inertia, especially in the Winter months, and to celebrate life in the Spring and Summer. Yes, plastic tat is an issue, but as others have pointed out, duvets and homewares aren't as "disposable". Also, if you like to make things, duvet sets with interesting patterns = reasonably priced fabric. Win win I say.

Ouch!
Satin bedding + satin sheets surely is up there in hilarity with trying to have a session on a waterbed. Funny, but not happening!

There is a load of Halloween dog stuff out now too. Dog PJs, toys, Halloween themed treats etc. You can even get a little pair of bat wings to put on your pooch.

I think it cheers one up celebrating the seasons.

I read that as buying Halloween pyjamas for the dog and was thinking WTF?😂

Morrisons have Xmas stuff in already?
