Halloween duvet sets. WTF?

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

It’s new from next. It’s neutral so handy for the whole of autumn rather than too Halloween. Then I have orange pumpkins on the sheet to make it a bit more fun!

I love brushed covers but it’s hard to find them in anything other than tartan sometimes.

@Izzymoon

thank you for replying.

yeah sheets aren't too bad to find but brushed cotton duvets are a bit limited in design

your sheets sound cute!

My Friday night is looking good 🎃 👻

This is the time of year that I’ve saved up for to buy homeware! 😂

It's like looking in a mirror!

tennesseewhiskey1 · 30/08/2024 18:21

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

Candaceowens · 30/08/2024 18:19

Can't relate, as a person who buys Christmas toilet paper

We live in a consumerist society, where vendors have to keep seeking new ways to separate individuals from their money.

We also live in a British society where people moan about the loss of our culture but are happy to turn their backs on a tradition our pagan ancestors celebrated way before the Romans turned up with Christianity because they have deemed it, incorrectly, 'American consumerism'.

Bring on All Hallows Eve, I say.

Also, my gargoyles are not tat.

Rude.

StaunchMomma · 30/08/2024 18:10

This is purely exciting to me. I'd 100% sleep under a cute ghost duvet cover if DH would let me!

Halloween is by far my fave time of the year bar Xmas. It's like a spooky intro to the Xmas period.

I will be decorating the house and probably purchasing more gargoyles.

Yaaaayyyy!!!

Next have some GORGEOUS halloween/autumn stuff in btw.

however i did buy the fluffy bat/cat in a witch hat ornament only so far xD

@Foxxo

thanks for the heads up. Must have a look!

I don't think this thread is achieving what the OP hoped 🐈‍⬛🤣

& you've just reminded me. I got a gorgeous wee cuddly bat last year, can't wait to get the Autumn/Halloween box out this weekend & if he sneaks out early then
so be it !!

Digbyscolleague · 30/08/2024 18:14

I’m not into Halloween but do love some pumpkin decor. It’s also used for longer than Christmas as it comes out Sept 1st for meteorological Autumn, and goes away Dec 1 when the Christmas stuff comes out.

Sethera · 30/08/2024 18:11

Not Hallowe'en themed, but I have some autumnal bedding - looking forward to putting it on in a couple of weeks. There's nothing wrong with seasonal home things.

NoDishiForRishi · 30/08/2024 18:10

I use it all year! All my blankets and bedding is spooky themed. I like it. My current bedspread is covered in ghosts! Why shouldn't people have things they enjoy? Life's too bloody short to get het up about bedding OP.

Such tat should have double or triple VAT on them.

@LlynTegid

you're always such a cheerful poster 😄

I'm sure there's lots you have that I wouldn't have in my home! Let's get the VAT increased on that!!

Currently have a gorgeous brushed cotton pumpkin duvet on right now. Idgaf.

Nothing is pointless if it makes you happy.

Bedding should have triple tax because it has something spooky on it? Give over
