We need new bedding. Dh has requested "no bloody seqins or beads to create patterns on my face" (Lovely John Lewis satin ones that look so nice - but sequin face is annoying). I asked him re colours and he said he had no preference other than the above.

Well, I've struggled to find something I like that's classy and matches the room etc but then found this in king size...

Omg I love that! That's the kind of thing I'd buy if I had such vague instructions

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 30/10/2016 22:08

Oh, do it! And surprise him, while taking a photo of his reaction!

blackcatzwitcheshatz · 30/10/2016 22:09

Oooh, My Little Pony you say??-

ijustwannadance · 30/10/2016 22:12

That is awesome. I might buy one and sit all my old original care bears on the bed to make me look even more crazy!

RoseGoldHippie · 30/10/2016 22:16

LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️ IT!!!

My DP hates sequins etc on duvet covers too and I hate silk ones so i know where your coming from.

That's amazing! YADNBU

ClopySow · 30/10/2016 22:19

I want it. The don't have it in superking though. Selfish.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 30/10/2016 22:21

I want one!

Do it Grin.

On another note, aren't beads & sequins bloody uncomfortable to rest your face on? Confused

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 30/10/2016 22:23

Yes, you have to turn the pillow over for actual sleeping. They are annoying so I know what dh means.

neveradullmoment99 · 30/10/2016 22:27

Buy it, buy it, buy it Grin

SpunkyMummy · 30/10/2016 22:28

These are actually cute :)

kerryob · 30/10/2016 22:31

Omg they do it in king size I want it! Be worried my DH might think it'd be ok for him to buy transformers or he man!

Trunkiefetish · 30/10/2016 22:31

Yabu it's going to feel horrible with that much polyester.

Pandakin · 30/10/2016 22:32

Genius. Grin
I am so tempted by this, DP is being such a PIA over bedding and I am sick of looking at mismatched (various levels of faded) plain black stuff.

If pillowcases have sequins or beads on my DM just puts the bottom pillow on top at night or flips it to the plain side. She has really beautiful stuff with those bits only on the bottom of the duvet but they would never last here sigh.

RoseGoldHippie · 30/10/2016 22:32

Lulu - omg they don't batman ones in a double????

RoseGoldHippie · 30/10/2016 22:37

*do not don't :(

MummyIsAFreeElf · 30/10/2016 22:40

I bought Harry Potter ones haha (much to my DPs annoyance)
I think you should go for it!
