My kids are counting down the days until it’s finally Halloween! I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time staying ahead of the game for this holiday. There’s always something I’m looking for last minute, and with Halloween only a week and a half away, I’m finishing up some last minute shopping. October always flies by so quickly that I find myself scrambling for pieces to complete my children’s costumes. If you’re on the hunt for Halloween finds such as costumes and trick or treat baskets that you can guarantee to get your hands on in time for the big day, I’ve got you covered! Here are some theme ideas:

FAIRY:

This is a super cute option and the kids always have so much fun dressing up as this! These pieces also make a great addition to your children’s dress up bin, a tutu and wings are always in style!

 

PURPLE FAIRY

RAINBOW UNICORN FAIRY

PINK FAIRY

DISNEY:

You can never go wrong with Disney! Classic characters are a crowd favorite and a sure way to get you compliments on your Halloween Costume.

WOODY FROM TOY STORY

LUCA

ELSA

COWBOY:

Cowboys are a classic option for Halloween costumes. What’s great, is that a lot of the times, you already have pieces in your kids closets for this one, so that could be a great last minute option- grab some jeans and a button down and then go get some boots and a hat and you are all set! If you don’t want to go digging through their closet, here are some great sets:
