But what to buy? What kind of costumes will the kids like? What costumes are popular this year?
- Men: Men can also go with the superhero theme, or the scary theme. In addition, many men find Halloween to be the perfect day to go in drag, and see what it’s really like to dress as a woman! This year, the hottest costume for men seems to be Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow character from Pirates of the Caribbean.
- Women: Women have many options. Simply dressing in pajamas can make a cute costume, or - depending on the pajamas - a really sexy one. French maid costumes are always popular, as are sexy Catwoman outfits. Full figured women need not worry about finding costumes that fit - many online retails, such as Costume Craze have costumes guaranteed to fit the plus size figure. Use coupon code GET5 to save 5% at Costume Craze.
- Couples: It might be hard to convince your other half to go along, but couples’ costumes can be really fun. Halloween Mart specializes in couples’ costumes, providing some pairings that you’ve probably never thought of! Otherwise, just pick any fictional or historical couple and you’ll be set. Use code 5OFF to save $5 off any $50 order at Halloween Mart before 11/15/2007
- Teenagers: Teenagers fall into two camps. Some teens want nothing to do with Halloween, seeing it as an immature holiday that will embarrass them. Others will want an extremely scary or highly original costume. The best thing with teenagers is generally to adopt a “hands-off” approach and let them make their own decision - provided, of course, that their costume is not inappropriate.
- Children: Children often like to dress up as whatever their friends are being, and it might be hard to convince them to go for an original or homemade costume. Halloween is about fun, though, so indulge your children, within limits. You can usually find the latest trendy superhero costume at places like Target and Wal-Mart for a pretty low price.
- Superheroes, Cartoon, and Other Characters: Any character that is in a popular cartoon or movie is a great character to dress up as. Batman is always popular, and in recent years Scooby-Doo, the Fantastic Four, Spiderman, and Harry Potter have all become popular choices. Buycostumes.com has a whole section just for Spiderman costumes! Use FRANKEN5 Coupon Code to get Get 5% off orders of $65+ at Buycostumes.com
- Animals: Dressing your child up as a cute bunny or butterfly will only work if your child is too young to care or wants an adorable costume. Although they will look sweet, a child who wants to look scary will be miserable in a kitten outfit. Save these costumes for babies, toddlers, and willing older participants.
- Scary: Halloween is the perfect time for scary costumes. Kids might want to dress up as witches, the Grim Reaper, devils, or the creepy character in Scream.
- Beautiful: It may be gender stereotyping, but the truth is that many little girls enjoy dressing up in princess outfits, Barbie and Bratz. Buycostumes.com has a great selection (use FRANKEN5 to get Get 5% off orders of $65+)
Pets: Don’t forget the furry members of your family. While we normally might not advocate putting clothes on your dog, Petco makes it possible for your puppy to be a witch, a pirate, a wizard, a superhero, a bumblebee, or even a peacock. Your pup will look adorable - and probably forgive you, eventually!
