Halloween Costume Ideas

Halloween costume ideas

This year there probably won’t be any trick or treating, but with these Halloween costume ideas the kids can still dress up and have a party at home, complete with spooky atmosphere and gross snacks. And once they’re in fancy dress I’m pretty sure they won’t care if they can’t go door to door as long as they don’t miss out on their treats 🍬🍭🍫

Here’s one of the best (and creepiest) children’s Halloween costume ideas I’ve ever seen 😱

If you’re not too traumatised to read on, then I’ve found some more great Halloween costume ideas for kids of all ages. Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, which means I may get a small commission if you buy via them, but it won’t cost you anything extra!

Halloween costume ideas for babies

These outfits from Time To Dress Up on Not On The High Street are so cute I almost (but not quite) wish my boys were babies again…

Or keep it simple with this playsuit from ImaginariumPresents on Etsy that’s very appropriate for the times we’re currently in…

This personalised astronaut fancy dress costume isn’t cheap, but as it’s not specific to Halloween it would make a great present if your child has a birthday around this time.

Or if you’d like them to have something they can get a little bit more general wear out of then this comfy looking pumpkin hoodie from QuriousShop on Etsy is just the trick (or treat?) It comes in adult sizes too if you think it’s more your thing 😄

Make your own

Of course, with all the face masks we have handy at the moment, the quickest and easiest Halloween costume would be a doctor or nurse. Just use an old white shirt as a lab coat and pop on a face mask. Add some blood and gore with red marker pens or ketchup for extra scare-factor!

And finally…

For those of you who are that way inclined, you can of course dress your pet(s) up too! Be kind though…

 Ridiculously cute…

My favourite though is this Sherlock Holmes outfit for a rabbit…

I think I’ll leave it at that! Looking forward to seeing your outfits on social media 👻🧟‍♀️💀

New Christmas Card and Seasonal Collection

snow joke Christmas Card

I’m very excited to let you know that my new Christmas card and seasonal greeting card collection for the holidays is now available in my shop. This collection is for those people who you want to give an extra special card to this Christmas or holiday. People like significant others, parents, best friends. The ones you love the most!
If you buy a lot of cards for a lot of people then I hope you’ll support a charity by buying your cards from one of their shops. My cards are for when you need something a bit different for your very favourite humans! They’re all A5 sized, which is quite a bit bigger than a standard card but can still be posted with an ordinary letter stamp.
You can see the full collection in my greeting card shop, or take a look at a selection below.

Cards for your significant other

For your other half you can choose from a selection of romantic, cheeky or cute cards…

Or why not get a custom cartoon couple portrait drawn of you and your favourite squeeze in Christmas outfits?

Holiday cards from the whole family

For parents/grandparents, give a card from the whole family.

Or these family cartoon portrait Christmas cards are as unique as you can get…

Holiday cards for besties

And don’t forget your best friend!

Christmas cards for businesses

Of course if you have a small business, your top clients are also very special, so why not send a holiday card that stands out from the usual corporate seasonal greetings? They’re A5 size so there’s plenty of space for everyone to sign.

You can also order these in a smaller size in bulk, or have an inside message printed – get in touch with me for a quote.

Unique to 2020

And finally, we’re all going to remember the 2020 holiday season as the year of the pandemic. That’s no reason not to make this Christmas as special as possible anyway though!

I hope you like the new Christmas card and seasonal collection. I’m always happy to quote for completely custom cards too if you have something very specific in mind.

I also offer bundle deals to buy 3 or 5 ready to ship cards at a time, which give you a bit of a discount, as most of us have more than one special person in our lives 🥰

See the full collection in my greeting card shop.
