Halloween duvet sets. WTF?

As someone who is a goth and a pagan, i love it, i literally spend this time of year buying ALLL THE THINGS as my home decor for the rest of the year.

If you don't like it, don't buy it, but stop moaning, there's some of us who love all things spooky.

Spooky is for life, not just for halloween.

places like B&M or The Range, or direct from tat-sites like Temu and Shein.

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

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

Nothing is pointless if it makes you happy.

Honestly, I've seen people say they use things for a season and bin them. Especially if the quality isn't the best. I'm sure you can imagine the responses.

Wait until next year, when B & M or Wilko will likely be flogging them. It is, after all, a tad quiet for retailers just after Christmas and they'll be looking for more opportunities to increase footfall.

Life would be boring if everybody liked the same thing.

I think the seasonal stuff is lovely. Bought our house last year, and we are slowly building up our seasonal homeware for Xmas/Halloween/autumn and Easter.

I think it makes my house look cosy, i’m a homebody, and love spending money on my house rather than holidays or days out. I also love hosting so my family love to see the decorations too.

Everything I’ve bought so far we will reuse every year until it breaks or becomes tatty.

@PrincessSakura

i was in my two local ones last week. They didn't have any. I feel cheated now.

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

I've seen the error of my ways. I'm just stripping off my witchy bedding to throw away and buy some more

@Geosmin

it doesn't have to be one or the other!

I no longer have the inclination to make and appliqué /embroider my own duvet covers, but I love my collection of leaves/conkers etc

mo fake leaves or garlands here!

Got to love a bit of Halloween bedding, when else would our Gothy household get our bedding?
My daughter alternates between her Halloween Bluey bedding and her Grinch throw. Mostly as she's 4 and doesn't have a clue that themed bedding is just for certain times of year apparently.

Pretty sure my Halloween sausage dog duvet gets put on through out the year.

It's only tat if you use it once and chuck it.

They actually say they throw a duvet set in the bin after a year? Or they sell it on, take it to a charity shop etc? I'd be far too cheap to throw away something I could get a few quid for!

@RunSlowTalkFast

i don't have a link, I just googled Christmas (2024) advent calendar & they were there!

(2024) because I wanted this years lego ones

There are people on this very site who have said they do.

That's very selfish of you. How are people going to get their daily dose of feeling superior to people on mumsnet if you won't buy plastic tat?!

I’ve actually just got two sets of Halloween bedding for my household, one is pretty seasonal but the other is just black with ghosts on. We are probably a bit of a weird household but for us this stuff tends to stay out all year round. My mother feels the same as you about it and thinks it’s silly, but I guess you’re just not the target demographic. I also find Halloween is prime time to get Christmas presents for my goth niece. I admit that it is mostly tacky tat, but I am admittedly a tacky person. One woman’s tat is another’s treasure.

I don’t buy throwaway tat but I love my collection of Autumn bits and bobs and other things for Spring etc - candles, cushions and so on. I get them out each year like you would Xmas decorations. It makes me happy to celebrate the different seasons, let’s face it life is hard enough at times.

I'm mostly housebound since I became suddenly disabled and as a huge outdoor person, this has been very difficult to come to terms with. I decorate my house with seasonal bits, which go away and come back out the next year. None of it is "plastic tat".

Autumnal bedding has been around for years. Again, I have a couple of sets that come out in September and are put away in November, then they come out year after year.

I enjoy my seasonal bedding and decor. I don't smoke, drink, eat out, buy stuff like clothes, makeup, get my hair done etc. My surroundings are what has to make me happy, so I have things around me I like to look at. It's not harming anyone else, so why the sneering?

My dog has a pumpkin jumper and also a spider Halloween costume 😁

I read this as ‘for the dog’ and thought you’d really taken it too far.

It calls for a level of organisation I’m not prepared to aspire to! 🙈

No, it isn't. It's a word meaning the coming or arrival of any person, thing or occasion considered significant. It has also been used in a liturgical context.

You can have the advent of agriculture, the advent of the steam engine, the advent of social media or the advent of the Modern Age. None of those require belief in a religious figure.

Tk maxx had some gorgeous Halloween bedding! I’m very keen to grab myself one!
