Check it out- this duvet is printed to look like cardboard boxes, which might provoke mixed feelings but the intention seems entirely good.

The Home Duvet lets you sleep under a cardboard box so a homeless person doesn’t have to!
This high quality duvet cover features a photographic print of a cardboard box. This produces an extremely sharp image that stays flexible because the ink is printed directly in the cotton. The image will stay crisp after frequent washing.
The cotton has a thread count of 144 threads per square inch, so it’s soft to the touch virtually non-iron. The duvet cover is produced in Pakistan and child labour is not used.
30% of the gross profits go to Centrepoint, the UK charity for homeless young people aged 16-25 (charity number 292411). Every night Centrepoint provides support and housing for 800 vulnerable homeless young people

Sometimes simple white bed linens is all a room needs, but in this case the circle embroidery provides just enough detail to ward off any accusations of being boring.

While techniques are traditional, Sanford Burrows designs are decidedly modern. White space and clean lines don’t overpower, but become an integral part of your design landscape.

I think these reversible pillowcases would be a pretty cute gift for new parents.

“This funny, reversible pillowcase set is the perfect way to help sleep deprived new parents avoid late night misunderstanding about who’s turn it really is. Embroidery on one side reads: On Duty; on the other Off Duty…just don’t forget to turn over the pillow. 250 thread count cotton. Fits standard size pillows. These are identical pillowcases sold as a set of two.”

For anyone who doesn’t know about thread count (a measure of the coarseness or fineness of fabric), 320 means these sheets will feel heavenly.

“For those who appreciate smooth, minimalist bedroom décor, these Dwell Solid Sheets deliver in spades. Proof that simple doesn’t have to be boring, these yarn-dyed solid sheet sets are available in a medley of rich shades. There’s one to match virtually any bedroom collection. Each Dwell sheet set arrives with one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two French-back pillowcases.”

Fabric: 100% cotton percale; 320 thread count.

reinterpreted ornamentation in a fresh, minimal style for the
contemporary home. Attention to detail makes this collection
distinctive and unique – from the rich hand of the fabrics to the
addition of trim and fine tailoring.”
