This year has been busy. The fact that it’s October already really blows my mind. Last week I finally purchased Ryan’s Halloween costume, but I hadn’t come across an outfit for Emma. She had told me she wants to be a witch, but I couldn’t find anything I liked in stores.
We’re just about mid-month here and I was starting to stress because if you wait too long to snatch one up, the good costumes are always all gone. At least in my experience. Luckily I found one on Oriental Trading last week and it came quickly.
We decided on the Witch Goth Maiden Girl’s Costume. It’s perfect for my 5-year-old., because I think it looks more sweet than scary. She tried it on for me after school and she absolutely loved it. It includes the fun witch hat that was a must for me because you can’t have a witch costume without it.
To complete the costume I decided on the Classic Witches’ Broom. It’s only $5 and can be used for decor too.
I can’t shop Oriental Trading without looking for some fun Halloween decor. Since my kids and most children in our neighborhood are fairly young, I didn’t want to go to spooky but I did have my eye on the bag of bones and the tombstones. Ultimately I decided on the Hairy Spider with LED Eyes – just the right amount of creepy for our doorstep.
The Realistic Sticky Brains would make a fun party favor but I have other plans for these. Stay tuned for an easy, fun craft tutorial!
What are your favorite Oriental Trading items for Halloween?
We received samples for consideration.
They are so affordable! That is what I love most about them!
I love Oriental Trading company! They’ve been around forever, and it’s so much fun just looking through their catalog! Your little witch is adorable!
We have several items we ordered from Oriental Trading. I love that they make decorating affordable. I love that spider, wanted it but my youngest freaks out over spiders – even fake ones.
That tarantula looks adorable. I used to play with tarantulas when I was a kid – they were all over our yard.
