As many parents already know costumes are not just for Halloween anymore. So many little girls and boys love to dress up. Even my 10 year old daughter and her friends still like to dress-up which amazes me that they’re still interested in doing that. However for them gone are the days of dressing up as a Princess now they want to be cheerleaders, vampires, zombies and anything gruesome is usually a hit 🙂
As a mom who is not very good at sewing (I wish) I have to buy costumes when I can and as many of us know that doesn’t always come cheap! I recently had the pleasure of checking out HalloweenMall.com which is actually a search engine for finding costumes! It’s a wonderful concept, through them you can find a multitude of costume stores, just take your pick. They’re there to make it easy for you to find the costumes and accessories that you want.
HalloweenMall.com also provides excellent videos for sizing to choose the right size costume for men, women, boys & girls they have a video to cover each one. I found the videos to be extremely helpful. They also have a monthly contest where the winner gets a $65 gift card for BuyCustumes.com. Y
They also have a free e-book written by a mom for moms! I’ve read through the e-book and I wish I had this book when my daughter was first old enough to hang with friends on Halloween and for all those Halloweens where we couldn’t always afford a costume so had to come up with something. It has some great ideas for costumes using clothes your child or you may already have with adding just a few easy and inexpensive accessories.
There were so many things I liked about this e-book and I plan to implement a few of these come this Halloween. Here’s but a few of things I liked (if I listed it all I’d just be copying & pasting the whole book as it’s all good:)
Halloween Games
- The Mummy Wrap easy and just requires Toilet Paper you can picture it
- Pumpkin Bowling this would be so fun for the kids
Homemade Costumes
- The black widow – easy peasy
- The Mummy & so many more
Tips on pumpkin carving
Tips on how to decorate on the cheap for Halloween and have it still look awesome
Halloween coupons and bargains and so much more
I’m amazed the book is free so if you get a chance I highly recommend that you grab it. You’re bound to find something you haven’t thought of and want to try out!
HalloweenMall.com is free to use, they have lots of wonderful information so you have nothing to lose and lots to gain by stopping by and checking it out. It gets a 2 thumbs up from Powered by Mom

Stephanie Hungerford says
I love Halloween mall but for the not so good sewer here area few customs I thought of that will not break the bank. A bubble gum machine. I also have seen couples go as a washer and a dry this only requires a few odd socks, paint and 2 large boxes plus either another box for parts like dial and face plate or poster board. A doctor or Nurse costume can be done from a thrift shop frequently. I have had to make many customs on little to know budget so My favorite was for my self when I was a cowgirl and I disguised my cane as a stick horse using an old pair of tights. And I just made a simple fringed vest out of a 1 dollar a yard piece of fabric. I didn’t want to be an old lady because I was 26 when I had to start using the evil cane
Michelle says

good luck Eva! Even as adults my friend and I have lots of fun at Halloween with our daughters who are best friends and go to the same school so it’s a family deal. The dads take the girls trick or treating we stay outside and enjoy the kids coming by as my friend totally does up her front yard in a grave site everyone has fun. We eat and have fun before all the trick or treating too 🙂

HC Montgomery says
Thank you for the review! I will definitely be heading over to Halloween Mall to enter their contest and grab that ebook. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I have learned that homemade costumes give a person the chance to be creative and often those costumes turn out to be a just as good, if not better than the ones that can be purchased in a store. I made costumes for all of my children when they were young and got so many compliments on how great they were. Now that my youngest two are school aged, they want store bought costumes… But I remember throwing some things together for my two oldest who swore they didn’t want to go for tricks and treats then decided an hour before we were leaving with the younger ones that they wanted to go after all and now they need a costume.

A large part of me hopes that my youngest will still want to be a Princess in 4 years when she’s 10! 😉 My oldest was never really into the Princess thing, so I’m not surprised at her Halloween tastes.

I love Halloween for the kids- the thing is that it’s just not for kids anymore-adults love Halloween too-I think it’s a great celebration for everyone young and old-and about the dressing up- My kids all love to dress up-I worked at Walmart for 15 years and right after Halloween I would grab all the left over costumes and odds and ends for dress up year round my kids and their friends would have a blast. Now my grand kids have a place to come and check out costumes too. Thanks for sharing this giveaway.

Husband normally wears the same costume to be apart of his fathers outside display (he hides in smoke with a sword and doesnt move people think hes a statue then he pops up for certain people, plays with the kids scares the crap out of the teens 🙂 ) But this year our kids are into pirates so any ideas, thinking of trying to do a pirate family with a newborn, 1yr old, 2yr old, 3yr old and him and i.

We have “trunk-or-treat” at our church. Last year my son was not quite one and it was a *very* cold Halloween, so we didn’t go. This year he will be not quite two, but it would be fun to go in a homemade or inexpensive costume since it’s just our church family who will see him! 🙂
