Just to let others I just decorate my lounge with a Christmas tree and a few wooden decorations on windowsill from Tiger. No other seasonal stuff throughout the year.

Have not the space to store this stuff,

Earlier this week I had been wearing winter themed PJs as its Thumper from Bambi playing in the snow!

I count down for summer to be over. Mainly because where I live, we have no summer! Autum/winter is my season. I just told dh the other day, I think I have the opposite of SAD.

I decorate for autum from Sept, in MY house, with MY stuff, that I buy with MY money. And to be honest, I really can't say I spend any time in my life working myself up about what people buy what duvet covers. Maybe I've just got too much going on in my life and people really do get upset over that stuff.

I certainly don't throw things away each season. Autum stuff is stored. Bedding etc vacuum packed away, yes Halloween bedding too! Same as Christmas decorations. We also decorate for spring and Easter and shock horror have bedding sets too. I honestly can't comprehend how or why anyone would care!

@AmazingBouncingFerret I'm not sure how much longer the late 80s single one is going to survive. It's getting very thin. One false move with one of my daughter's sharp toe nails and the poor thing is gonna get a big rip.
But it's had a good life 😂

Can’t stand the hype around Halloween but we do have Christmas duvet sets.

@Butteredtoast55

link??

I have spent way too much time on here since I joined when it practically started. I have never seen a post saying anyone has thrown away seasonal bedding after one season

I've also been on for years ..but I'm certainly not rummaging around for a link.

@MouseofCommons I have a double quilt cover that I've had since circa 1997 (although annoyingly lost one of the matching pillowcases) and a single one that is probably from about 1988 ish - although that one is quite faded now.
Quilt covers last for years.

Old quilt covers are the best, they’re so soft and snuggly.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 30/08/2024 18:54

I don’t do seasonal bedding but I am rather fond of a seasonal door wreath. I’ve just removed my summer sunflower one to put my new autumnal one I just bought from tkmaxx! It will get swapped for the Halloween one I bought a few years ago. Which in turn gets swapped for a plain green eucalyptus one that is probably getting quite tatty now because I’ve had it for years but that will stay up until I put my Christmas one up and then go back up afterwards until spring and Easter.

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

Very happy to break this user name out again...

@MouseofCommons

one of my goddaughters had just nabbed a couple of autumn/halloween duvet covers to take to uni with her. I offered to buy her a couple but she liked mine better than any she could find. Good excuse for me to buy a couple of new ones. I'm enjoying looking!

flyinghen · 30/08/2024 18:38

I decorate my home according to the seasons, not Halloween though but Autumn (leaves pumpkins). I adore it is my favourite season. I've collected things over the years and I will get them out every single year just like Christmas decorations. It makes me SO happy! I can totally see how Halloween decorations would make some happy too!

I don't have Autumn bedding but I do change my throw blanket and cushion on my bed. Autumn bedding can go on in September and come off again to swap to Christmas bedding (which I also have and love)!

Each to their own :)

The day after huge bedding sale lol 😆

@BabaYetu

thank you! 🎃

I have a few patterns stored from
previous good intentions!! But will take a look at that one too ☺️

housethatbuiltme · 30/08/2024 18:33

Goths exist all year round.

Trust me 'halloween' stuff will get loved and used for more than 1 day of the year by many.

MouseofCommons · 30/08/2024 18:33

To be fair, it'll last 30+ years or so if you only have it on for a month over Halloween.
I have two duvet covers over 15yrs old and a new Xmas one that'll be used for 2 months every winter. It'll probably see me out.

For those who are waiting until September one word. Summerween! You could use it from July through to November.

@WhenWillWanksWildly

nah, I like my summer stuff too, I love the change in seasons.

I lived overseas for years, one of the things I missed so much was actual seasons.

@Foxxo

I dont have pumpkin shaped ones, but I'm
guessing mostly just for decoration.

I'm now very inspired to get my wool out tonight & crochet a few small ones for decoration.

DD has 4 sets of bedding - the two we bought her when the room was decorated plus the Halloween and Christmas bedding she bought with her babysitting money and puts on her bed each year.

It brings her a great deal of happiness to do up her room seasonally (different fairy lights plus throws for her chair). Who am I to judge if she enjoys it? It's harmless enough,

Not really a cushion, but lovely and squishy

Prinnny · 30/08/2024 18:25

I’ve bought DD some hocus pocus bedding, I can’t wait to see her little face when she comes home from school to find the house and her bedroom all done up for Halloween. It’s the little things 🥰🎃
