Critters of Hallow's Eve

What I enjoyed most about trick-or-treating was dressing up. Sure, getting mini chocolate bars - the treats - was cool, but the magic was in transforming into a different character every year. The hard part was choosing among so many exciting options...wonderwoman, pirate girl, jellyfish, ballot box. It wasn't just about throwing on a generic costume. It was Costuming - coming up with the concept, having my mom sew the costume (I can't sew!), planning the makeup and accessories. As a kid, which was your favorite costume?

Speaking of accessories, we think these definitely help make kids' costumes not just memorable but award-winning! Which is your fav?

STAND-OUT HELMET COVERS
So. Much. Fun. There is no way kids will go unnoticed in these way too cute helmet covers. They don't have wait until Halloween to dress up; they can be all sorts of critters everyday before and after H day. We have pets, woodland critters, bugs, ocean life, zoo animals and fairytale characters. Grown-ups need not envy; we have some for you too!

GLOW IN THE DARK PEEPER SHOES
Vampires have returned with a vengeance, thanks to the Twilight phenomenon, True Blood and Vampire Diaries. These, however, are not so foreboding and neither are their co-conspirators (pumpkin, bat, ladybug, spider). The eyeballs glow in the dark! Talk about staying in character from head to toe!

TRICK-OR-TREAT BAGS IN DISGUISE
These cute bags moonlight on Halloween as candy-collecting bags that almost seem to talk, dance and run - bags with feet, tails, fins and beaks. Are you a farm animal this Halloween? Use the duckie or cow bag for trick-or-treating. Ocean animal? Go for dolphin or whale. Are you a Harry Potter character this year? Try the wizard or unicorn bag. The best part is that these plush, cuddly bags are reusable. After Halloween, they have an entirely different life as an overnight, sleepover bag. An eco-conscious, great buy.

GOLDEN EGG IS A NEST EGG
A prop with bling, this egg is a nice touch for fairytale, medieval and Harry Potter themes. Think dragon egg! After Halloween, use it as a coin bank.
