Still need a Halloween Costume?

Written by Elizabeth on October 24, 2008 – 10:08 pm -

Do you still need to buy a Halloween costume for a child or for yourself? Check out all the great costumes still available on Halloween Party Store.com! Family Review Network gave me the opportunity to choose a costume from the site, so I let Nathan look over the choices with me and he picked Iron Man. It’s a really hot costume this year! I chose the largest size available which was 10-12, and unfortunately for Nathan, it was too small. The site puts a size chart right on each page, and I thought Nathan was within the weight range for that size, but then I weighed him and he is actually bigger. So he won’t be able to wear the costume, but I’ll hold on to it and pass it on to a friend.

So my suggestion is, make sure to scroll down the page and look at the size chart, and if you aren’t sure what size your child wears, weigh them before you order! There’s still a great selection of infant, toddler, children’s, and adult costumes, shipping on orders under $50.00 is only $6.99, and orders are shipped the same day using Express or Priority shipping. Don’t paw through picked-over racks at Target or Wal-Mart looking for that costume your child MUST have, find it at Halloween Party Store and have it delivered the next day!

Little Capers-non commercial super hero halloween costumes!

Written by Elizabeth on October 17, 2008 – 10:21 pm -

Has your child ever tied a towel or blanket around their shoulders and ran through the house pretending to be a superhero? Jossamber Shapiro and Jessica Wise were college best friends who always wanted to start a business together, and when Jossamber’s son started wanting to play superhero, they came up with an idea to make him a costume that wasn’t a licensed commercial character. From that, Little Capers was born.

There are two types of capes available, the first is a “big cape” which are approx. 31′ Length and 17′ collar with a adjustable velcro closure at the collar. Kaitlyn has the “Phoenix”, which is a red cape with a silver circle/lightening bolt design on the back. She wears it with everything and loves to run as fast as she can making it fly out behind her. The other is either a short or long sleeve shirt with a smaller cape attached, and it’s a PERFECT non-commercial Halloween costume. Does your child want to make the Earth a safer place? Here’s the Green Earth Hero Cape-

How cute is that?!? Best part-it’s on sale for $23.00 in sizes 2 and 4. And I can almost guarantee if you buy one of these types of shirt/capes for your child, they will wear it a lot more than just on Halloween

Save money on scary costumes (and warm memories)!

Written by Elizabeth on October 11, 2008 – 1:40 pm -

(TULSA, OK)— Barry Boone, the founder and CEO of www.DealHunting.com and www.CurrentCodes.com, wants the memories of smiling youngsters trick-or-treating this fall to remain fresh long after the last candied apple has been eaten and the last red cape has been folded and tucked away. And so he is reminding parents that they can find unbeatable savings on costumes, candy and digital photo processing online this Halloween.

“We have lots of listings of coupons and sales for retailers that sell costumes, like BuyCostumes.com and Costume SuperCenter,” says Boone, “but we also have really great coupons for stores that do digital photo processing, like Snapfish.com, KodakGallery.com and YorkPhoto.com. So whenever you take pictures of your kids in their Halloween costumes, you can find a coupon to process those digital photos at a great price.”

“DealHunting.com is a daily shopping list,” Boone explains. “You can go there on a daily basis and find a listing of all the different good sales we found on the internet for that day. These are the newest, latest, greatest sales, and if there are some really deeply discounted items for those stores, we’ll have them listed.”

Sister site Currentcodes.com is a database of coupons for more than 1,300 online stores ranging from Amazon.com to Zales and everything in between, including CompUSA, Disney, Esprit, The Gap, JCPenney, L.L. Bean, Old Navy, Orbitz, Overstock.com, Staples and more. Each has a place within its shopping cart for a “coupon code” that gives a percent or dollar amount off of a purchase.

“If you don’t know the code, you can’t take advantage of the discount,” says Boone. “You can find these secret discount codes and coupon codes listed on many sites across the internet, but the problem with these sites is that they’re usually personal homepages, and don’t maintain their lists.”

DealHunting.com and Currentcodes.com have a full-time trained staff whose only job is to find new sales, coupon and discount codes and verify the accuracy of the existing database. “We don’t flood you with ads or popups, and we don’t require any personal information from our visitors.” Boone says.

What sets DealHunting.com and Currentcodes.com apart from their competitors, Boone feels, is that “we are by far two of the most thorough sites as far as the breadth of companies we cover.”

In the months ahead, Boone and his team will launch additional features for searching products more efficiently.

It’s not too early to start thinking about Halloween Costumes!

Written by Elizabeth on July 7, 2008 – 10:57 am -

I know what you are thinking, geez Elizabeth, let us enjoy summer and not think about FALL and Halloween yet, but if you want to have really amazing halloween costumes for yourself or your children this year, why not start looking now before the selections get picked over? Kaitlyn is very into princesses right now, and loves to put on Tiaras, so I’m thinking she will love this Butterfly Princess costume that comes with a dress, wings, and a tiara:

With three kids to buy costumes for, and a burning desire NOT to have to settle for whatever is left over at Target, I like the idea of buying costumes now, so I can spread the three purchases out over a few paychecks and each of my kids can get just what they want. Of course, it’s hard to know whether Halloween in Michigan is going to be sunny and mild or windy, rainy and cold, so we tend to buy costumes that will still look good with a heavy turtleneck underneath and possibly a coat on top!

I never think I look good in halloween costumes and don’t usually dress up, but I do like this 50’s Poodle Skirt, even though the price only includes the skirt, not the jacket, top, or scarf, which are all separate. Still, it would be a fun costume to wear!

Wouldn’t that be cute with my hair in a high ponytail and some saddle shoes or penny loafers? Writing this post is making me actually excited for Halloween! BuyCostumes.com has tons of great themed and classic costumes for adults and kids, as well as accessories, hats, wigs, masks, decorations, and props. The prices are really reasonable and very competitive. Check out the site for your halloween costumes this year!
