Advice needed please to find non-Pink,non-branded toddler girl bedding


Recommended Posts

Hi


I am looking at getting my 2yo daughter duvet covers but am having trouble finding anything that isn't hideous pink or branded. Please can someone kindly point me in the direction of some non Disney and non Peppa Pig designs?!


Thank you

I like that idea.I do a bit of machine embroidery so I was thinking ladybirds or even trying some basic potato or Lino printing.I really will go to great lengths to avoid pink,I hate it that much!But from what I have seen with my friends kid's they eventually are drawn to pink no matter what you do to fight it!Am I alone in the frustrations of pink being enforced on our daughters??!

No I avoided it when my daughter was little kept her away from it when buying clothes etc then I had a son and told I couldn't have any more children(medical problems) I now embrace the pink as I'm not going to have any more little girls! She went through a stage when she was about 4 when all she wanted was pink (maybe because I purposely hadn't been buying pink clothes etc) so when I did start slipping in the odd pink item she went crazy for it... She is 6 now and does actually choose other colours herself now when given the choice so maybe a little bit here abd there isn't too bad....

I should stop being quite so strict as it probably will end up back firing and she will be addicted to pink when she grows up.My mum would never let my sister and I shop in Tammy Girl and all we ever longed for were crop tops and puffball skirts...not that I now wear those tasteful items of clothing I hasten to add?!

Try Vertbaudet, Ikea, Zara Kids, Ferm Living and Isak.


I've also got a Smafolk one, which is lovely and bright and fantastic quality. I had to get that sent over from Denmark(!)and didn't realise the cost. On the upside, it is nearly 3 years old and still looks brand new.

We have Cath Kidston (cowboys and dinosaurs sets - space theme is nice too) in our girl and boy's shared room. I wanted to avoid getting a boy cover and a girl cover but wanted something fun at the same time. They are lovely, soft but not cheap. Our spare sets are a pair of 1980s Care Bear covers that were my husband's! Interestingly enough there is hardly any pink on them (one or two bears) - how times have changed!

If she has a normal adult single you could just get any design you like from the adult selection maybe. Our daughter has a nice flowery (not pink) one and 2 more childish ones (m&s I think) which are Mr Men and an owl design.

Don't buy Vertbaudet, we just got a birthday present from Granny.

Fabric badly printed, awkward format for pillow case, end of duvet cover open (no zipper or button, just to fold in, and that's not working.

So we were very disappointed today ...

I agree but wait for the Sales and Cologne and Cotton have excellent quality gingham and striped bedding (amongst other types) for adults and children. The green gingham is lovely and fresh for children.


Another Sale option is Designers Guild with their unisex fun bedding. Washes well and lasts for years.

    • You can't refuse. TW allows you up to a 12 months after installation during which time you can continue with the fixed rate system. Then after 12 months you go on the meter rates regardless. The one benefit of this is that the meter send readings on an hourly basis and if you have consumption being registered, when you would not expect it,  (such as between 1am and 6am) , they will advise you that you have a leak somewhere and will give an estimate of how much extra this leakage will cost you after you go on the meter rates.  That way you can fix your lea(s) in advance and save money. If you cannot find the leak  inside the house, it may be outside underground, between your house and the water meter because your old lead pipe may be leaking. That stretch of pipe is your responsibility.  Then you can ask them to help you find it and if you play your cards nicely and catch the TW guy on a good day, then TW will replace your old 1" pipe with a new blue 25mm pipe.  
    • Thank you to everyone who do drop off food while they were casting their votes, thanks also to those who enquired about volunteering. It doesn't have to be an election day though to do either though, so we would be grateful to receive donations and additional volunteer help any other day of the year too. We have also just added another string to our bow, and are now re-homing unwanted electricals too, so if you have any unwanted small electricals lurking at home that we can re-home, please drop them off to use to. We only ask that they are clean and working.  we will PAT test them and assuming all good, we will find a new home for them. The Community Fridge website has details, along with a wealth of other information Best wishes Steve Albrighton Community Fridge w: albrightoncommunityfridge.org i: albrighton_community_fridge_   
    • Hello, TW installed ours in SE27 in October 2023, unprompted too. We just got a note through the letterbox informing us of the switch to smart meter and its serial number, after it was done. 
    • I've recently moved into East Dulwich. I transferred my Thames Water account to my new address, and I  have received my bill for the year. But now I've received an email from them saying they'll be out on the 8th to fit my new smart meter, which was unrequested by me. I can probably refuse but I wanted to check here if perhaps there was a TW campaign to get these installed in the area? Thank you.
