Halloween Costumes $100 Costume

September 10, 2011 by Momstart 646 Comments

Halloween is one of my favorite times of year because I love to dress up. I seemed to have passed on this trait to my loving daughter. She loves to wear costumes and can be found wearing one four out of seven days a week. If you follow my blog you know this.

You’ve seen Zoe the Pirate Princess

And you’ve seen Miles the Storm Trooper

And you’ve seen Zoe the Storm Trooper

All of these costumes have been sent to us by HalloweenCostumes.com or one of their partner sites. HalloweenCostumes.com has a large collection of Halloween costumes and accessories for babies, toddlers, kids, teens, and adults. This Star Wars costume is one of many licensed movie costumes they offer. Their kids costumes are great for Halloween, but are just as fun for year-round creative play.

The kids have been having so much fun with their creative play lately. I love listening to their conversations. Miles has been doing it with all of his cars, and Zoe plays princess with all the girls in the neighborhood.

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to the winner, Suzanne Denys.

All rules can be found under giveaway rules. We received free samples.

What do Toys R Us, Disguise, and Disney all have in common? #giveaway

October 4, 2009 by Momstart 770 Comments

It’s Halloween Costumes for the right price. No wait, it’s even better. Toys“R”Us will carry an expanded assortment of exclusive Disney-themed Halloween costumes for boys, girls and babies to highlight the good works of Children Affected by AIDS Foundation (CAAF). To showcase their continued support of CAAF in its mission to provide assistance to children affected by HIV/AIDS in the United States and around the world, Toys“R”Us, Inc. and DCP made a joint contribution of $50,000 to kick off the 2009 costume program. I love supporting companies that are giving to the world.

Beginning in September, an expanded line of 25 costumes based on popular Disney characters can be found at Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us stores and online at Toysrus.com, including beautifully crafted costumes resembling Disney Princess characters, Disney●Pixar Toy Story’s “Buzz Lightyear” and “Woody”, Power Rangers, Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger, and Disney Fairies’ “Tinker Bell.” The number of costumes included in this unique program doubles the offering from last year, and each bears a recognizable hangtag featuring the CAAF logo and a united mission statement from both companies.

You can find these special costumes in stores by their identifying tags. Online it’s even easier, just head to www.toysrus.com/exclusivecostumes. This year, CAAF will also highlight these costumes in a series of print and broadcast public service announcements that feature CAAF’s national spokesperson Jamie Lee Curtis, and promote the organization’s signature Dream Halloween^® events, of which the Toys“R”Us Children’s Fund and Disney Consumer Products are longtime benefactors.

Now, Toys R Us is sending me a boys size 3 costume to giveaway and since I have no idea what it will be or if I will be able to get it to you on time for Halloween, I’ve decided to keep it and provide one of my readers with a 25.00 Gift Card to use at Toys R Us.

TJ Maxx and Marshalls Children’s Costumes are very affordable #giveaway

October 2, 2009 by Momstart 696 Comments

I know I’ve written about going to Boston a few times but I’m very grateful for TJX (Marshalls and TJ Maxx) for inviting me to their Mom Bloggers Event. I also want to share all that fun with you. While I was there, I purchased a Halloween costume for my daughter for 15.00. It is a purple fairy costume that came with a So I know that they start very low. I’m not sure how high they go but I know that TJMaxx and Marshalls are excellent at keeping costs down because of how they purchase their high quality materials.

Just an FYI…

They do purchase in season designer clothing, purses, accessories, and retail items.

They purchase the same stuff you can find at Macy’s, Gucci, and Guess for much less and share the discounts with us.

They have less than 15 percent that is defective, and by defective I mean, a manufactured defect that is not detectable to the naked eye. The manufacturer just decided it was slightly less than perfect.

Since Halloween is a ton of fun for me I asked if I could host a giveaway. I know you can find one and still have money left over; and rumor is that if you wait until the day of Halloween, that they go on SUPER DUPER clearance on that day; instead of the day after. I know that was the longest run on sentence in the history of Mom Start. 😉

25.00 to Marshalls
