Affordable Halloween Couples Costumes

I recently suggested to my fellow blogger Andrea that her husband and her daughter should consider dressing up in coordinating Halloween costumes before heading out to trick-or-treat. After all, you don’t have to be married to dress up in couples’ costumes. Brothers and sisters, two friends, classmates or a pair of cousins could easily pull off the following looks: Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm: This is a cute idea for kids of the same age and height. If you don’t have another child to pair up with, you could use the idea for a parent/child costume and have mom or dad dress … Continue reading →

Last Minute Homemade Halloween Costumes

This is it. The final countdown to the Halloween is on, and if you don’t already have a costume, then you are going to have to dig deep… creatively. While you can score awesome deals on store-bought costumes right now (yesterday I saw costumes on sale for 75 percent off at a couple big name discount retailers), the downside is that most of the savings are only good on XXL or XS getups, because that’s all that’s left. If you can fit into what is left on the shelves on this Halloween Eve, then you are golden. However, if there’s … Continue reading →

Making Money with Fun Halloween Costumes

I am astounded by the amount of money you can make just by sporting a unique Halloween costume. Practically every TV morning show based in New York offers amazing prizes for people willing to parade in front of the cameras wearing a one-of-a-kind costume creation. Even if you don’t live near the “Today” show or “Live with Regis and Kelly” studios, you can still score a nice chunk of change by dressing up in your Halloween best at local venues. For example, in the tiny town I live in, a local bar/lounge/nightclub is offering $1,000 to the person who dons … Continue reading →

Funny Halloween Costumes

NBC’s “Today” show, “Live with Regis and Kelly,” as well as a number of other televised talk shows traditionally host costume contests on Halloween. If you live in the New York area or are willing to drive to the show’s studios (typically located in major metropolitan areas), then you can show off your craziest Halloween costume in front of millions of people. I don’t live any where near New York or Los Angeles and I am not very creative when it comes to holiday getups, but I love to watch others strut their stuff in their homemade Halloween creations. I … Continue reading →

Do-It-Yourself Halloween Costumes for Boys

Part of the reason I allow my 5-year-old to attend so many Halloween-related events is that I want to get the most out of the money I dropped paying for her overpriced costume. However, if your son is content with using a costume simply to trick-or-treat, then you might consider making your own. After all, why should you drain your bank account if your little guy is only going to dress up for a couple of hours on Halloween night? Save your money, and instead, rummage through your home for the materials needed to make these simple, yet creative costumes: … Continue reading →

Simple No-Sew Halloween Costumes

Whereas my mother could sew a bridge to connect Hawaii with California, I struggle to reattach buttons to blouses. If you are as bad a seamstress as I am, then you might have never considered making your own Halloween costume. Fortunately, there are a myriad of spooky getups you can create without having to sew a single stitch. Here are some ideas: Spider: Use a pair of black sweats and a black sweatshirt. For the spider’s legs, use old black pantyhose and stuff them with anything lightweight such as tissue paper or fiberfill. Then, staple or glue the pantyhose shut, … Continue reading →

Coordinating Halloween Costumes

I’m not a matchy-matchy kind of mom. I’ve never once considered buying coordinating mother/daughter dresses, nor have I ever honored the request to dress my child in an outfit that complemented her cousin’s. However, when it comes to Halloween costumes, I’m a little more flexible. For some reason, I have a soft spot for matching Halloween costumes, especially when children are involved. To me, nothing is more adorable than seeing two kids standing at your front door wearing coordinating costumes. If you want your kids to complement each other this Halloween, then consider the following costume ideas: Elmo and Cookie … Continue reading →

Hot Celebrity Halloween Costumes

You’ve got your kids’ costumes ready, but what are you dressing up as this Halloween? Most adults turn to Tinseltown and the celebs who roam the famous streets of Hollywood for inspiration. Donald Trump’s infamous combover was once part of the hot Halloween scene, but not this year. According to a survey done by a leading marketing company, Halloween 2007 will be known as the Brangelina holiday.
