Halloween: It's Never Too Early to Costume-Shop

Erin Behan — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 20:59:00 GMT

Would you believe I planned a vacation around Halloween this year? I couldn't bear the thought of my little one not being on his own turf when he sports his first-ever Halloween costume. As BabyStyle has just released its 2008 costumes, now's the time to buy. It just wouldn't do if the costume you wanted sold out, now would it? Above is the adorable Pandorable ($36). The tail really makes it. And through August 31, get $2 shipping on all costume orders with the code TREAT.

Hand Made: Halloween Costume Fit for a Princess

chrisjordan — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 17:01:00 GMT

It's not too late to have a lovely hand made costume for your child. Unlike the ones you buy at the big box stores, this princess costume has over 24 yards of tulle in the skirt. Covered elastic waistband for ease of taking on and off. Comes with a bejeweled hat and a tulle wand. for casting good spells, of course.

Fits sizes 4-7 and is available at Whimsy Wendy for $35, quite a steal if you ask me.

Big Deal: Baby's First Halloween Giggles

Karen — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 18:03:00 GMT

You're laughing, aren't you? Boy did I ever howl when I saw this picture. Get the camera ready, this costume is not only hysterical, but it's soft and will keep baby warm on Halloween night.

This colourful costume is on sale now at Amazon for $29.99 (regularly $39.99).

Best of luck putting him in the stroller though!

Like Kids in a Candy Store: Sugary-Sweet Halloween Costumes

Aaron Burgess — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 16:33:00 GMT

Don't know about you, but in my family, trick-or-treating with the babies has always been a ploy to score extra candy for the rest of us, and with costumes like these, it's nice to know we no longer have to be subtle about our motives. Seriously, who can resist a literal Sugar Baby ($19.99)?

My older ones saw this Tootsie Roll bunting ($34.99) and demanded I return their Bionicle and Scooby-Doo costumes at once. No way they can compete.

"Creamy" and "chocolate" take on very different meanings where infants are concerned, but it's the thought that counts: Ladies and Gentlemen, Baby Junior Mints ($24.95).

Not so much a Hershey's Kiss as a Munchkin or an extra from some Sid & Marty Krofft show, this one'll set you back $26.95.

Get in my belly! Smarties bunting, $24.95.

Big Deal: Halloween Costumes For Your Bug Lover

chrisjordan — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 16:14:00 GMT

I always thought I would be one of those mothers who made their children's Halloween costumes. Turns out I am more of a buy their costumes already made sort of mom.

This dragonfly has to be one of the cutest costumes I have ever seen. Long sleeves and long pants mean he or she will be warm enough to go door to door until their little legs wear out. It comes in sizes 6-12, 12-18, and 18-24 months.

Available at Babystyle for $30.40. At prices like this I wouldn't wait much longer.

Big Deal: Halloween Costumes!

Karen — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 18:03:00 GMT

Our family procrastinates so much, my sons are often left with slim pickings for Halloween costumes. Why just last year, Dylan went as Hockey Player Barbie and Thomas went as Tinkerbell. When I saw this sale at Celebrate Express, I had to share with you guys.

Just kidding. Check out the selection on these (not-lame) costumes that won't cost a mint (11% - 65% off!):

There are 54 costumes to choose from that are on sale (and many others that aren't)! Have fun!
