I am trying to make my daughter’s room something that she is going to like for at least the next three or four years. She loves the Wiggles, but the colors are not something that are very feminine. That’s ok though, because she is getting into a princess phase, and that is definitely something I can work with. I bought her a new comforter and pillow this year, but I almost went with the complete comforter set. I didn’t though, because she is still in a toddler bed that she will not give up, and it makes no sense to me to spend the money when she will be in a bigger bed next year.
What will come in a comforter set will depend on who makes it. Everyone seems to put something different in, and you get what you are willing to pay for. A good comforter set will come with a comforter, pillow shams, a bed skirt and a set of sheets. Most sets will have all of those or some combination of a few of them. If you get a really expensive set it will not only last a lot longer, but it might also come with match curtains. You might even find a matching wallpaper border being sold with it, though it won’t be part of the actual set.
I remember my first comforter set very well. It was Strawberry shortcake, but I’m not sure it came in a comforter set like you would buy today. It may have, but I think my mom put it together herself. I had the pillows and the comforter along with a bed skirt that I never used, and there were curtains as well. My mom must have communicated with my grandparents about the comforter set that year because they got me a Strawberry Shortcake lamp to go along with what my mom had gotten for me.
I am being careful not to get my daughter a comforter set that she will not like as well as she likes some other things that she has. I remember that I like Strawberry Shortcake, but I think my mom liked her more than I did. If I had had my own choice back then, I would have preferred to get something else. I made sure what I got for my daughter is pretty, but will go with my different interests, and I allowed her to tell me what color. She asked for pink, so that was the color theme I got.
