More Halloween Costume Fun: Great Buys for Your Little Spooksters






We've shared a few DIY costume ideas and what-not-to-wears, now here is a list of our favourite store-bought costumes for your little trick-or-treater.

Old Navy
We mentioned last month that Old Navy/Gap/Banana Republic just launched their Canadian online store and are offering free shipping on a combined pre-tax order of $50 or higher. This Cupcake is as sweet as any little girl ($19) and think a little guy would look awesome in this Hamburger ($15 - only 0-3M and 6-12M remain) and Pizza albeit cheesy ($12 - size Small/age 6-7 remains).

Pottery Barn Kids
Unfortunately despite opening stores in BC, Alberta and Ontario Pottery Barn Kids has yet to launch an Canadian online store. We did find an Airplane ($49) and Milk Carton ($44.99) that are worth the extra few bucks especially if you have a younger sibling next in line (and they'd make great dress-up clothes!). Check with the Granville Street store for availability.

Target
We can't fail to mention the store that has it all although there were some suspicious looking costumes like this one, this one and this one. Target (sadly) does not ship to Canada but if you plan to cross-border shop, use a US mailbox or have a friend down south you might want to add these to your list:
Strawberry ($29.99)

Walmart
We checked out our local Wally's extensive Halloween section and while we did find a ton of wigs, masks (including Darth Vader and Batman), makeup, coloured hairspray and various accessories, the overall costume selection was less than spectacular (this Transformers costume among others we'd seen online were nowhere in sight).
