Raise your hand if you’re a last-minute costume shopper. 

We get it. We’ve found ourselves looking up costume ideas a week - or even a day - before Halloween, too. While it’s tempting to buy a cheap plastic costume that will get tossed immediately after Halloween, we have a better idea. 

We have plenty of costume ideas that will serve you well for trick-or-treating, and for the rest of the year, too! Read on for our top six out-of-the-box ideas for Halloween. You can find all of these items online or in our store. 

1. Who’s Your Teddy Bear? 

Do you have a toddler? Would you like a cute costume idea that will last your little one all winter long? Take a look! Your little teddy bear will look adorable in this hoodie! We have a beanie, too, for lasting warmth. 

2. The Wilderness Must Be Explored!

Sometimes, all it takes is a brown vest, a pair of hiking boots, and a just-right hat to win over your neighbors on Halloween. Dress your kiddo as a park ranger and include this hat as the perfect accessory! 

3. Hit the Slopes! 

Bundle up and pretend you’re taking on Everest with these ski goggles, your favorite puffy jacket, and a few other ski and snowboard supplies. A pair of cool snow goggles are easier to wear than a scary mask, and you may even use them again this winter! 

4. Lifeguard on Duty

Does your little one love the water? Consider dressing him or her up as a lifeguard or paddler, complete with a colorful life vest you can reuse in the spring! 

5. Go on Safari! 

Is your family wild about the zoo? Do you love animals and dream of going on Safari? With a vest, a pair of binoculars, and this hat, you can bring that dream to life, at least on Halloween. The best news? This hat is great for outdoor activities next summer, too! 

6. Big Lebowski Forever

Are you a movie lover? Channel the Big Lebowski in these socks … we think you’ll recognize the pattern!

Or, if you’re feeling really bold, get into the Lebowski spirit with this Pendleton coat! It’ll keep you cozy and warm all season.
