Happy Valentine’s Day 50.00 Gift Card Giveaway

January 18, 2011 by Momstart 270 Comments

Valentine’s Day is different for everyone. For children they like to pass around candy and little cards that they make by hand. I was always in it for the chocolate myself. Now for adults, it’s completely a different story. Some of us associate romance with Valentine’s Day and this giveaway from Annie’s Costumes is for them!!

Now, most people think of Annie’s Costumes as a Halloween store, but with everything they sell it’s for much more than that you can find a costume or outfit for any occasion, and yes, I mean any occasion. If you ask me, plenty of their costumes for women fall into the “sexy” category. Now, my recommendation is to search out something interesting to you in any category, but you should start by looking at the Valentine’s Day Costume recommendations. And while you are pursuing the site, be sure and check out the shoes!

I found this pair of Gangster shoes, and I think they would be perfect for a night of swing dancing. Did I ever tell all of you how much I love swing dancing? (sorry, I get side tracked so easily)

Annie’s Costumes sell Children’s Costumes, Adult Costumes, Pet Costumes, Stage & Theater Makeup, Candy, Party Games & Party Supplies, Props & Decorations, and Hats & Headpieces

Enter to Win:

50.00 Gift Card to purchase a costume or item of your choice! You can even buy a Halloween Costume if you want!

To Enter:

Tell me what you are going to dress up as for Halloween.

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

The Children’s Place Halloween Costumes are on sale #giveaway

October 1, 2009 by Momstart 183 Comments

Every time I’m in a mall and pass by the Children’s Place I have to stop in and take a peak. I love their clothes. We have an outlet or two that are in the WA area and I find even more savings there. I’m even apart of their points program where you get a point for every dollar spent. I just can’t get enough of their store. It’s funny but I can even tell when another child is wearing something from The Children’s place. That’s how familiar I am with their store.

I just got an e-mail telling me that their fall line is out. Their Christmas Clothes are out. So shop early to get the sizes you want. Not only is their fall line out but it’s on sale and so are the Halloween costumes.

get in the spooky spirit! halloween costumes NOW ON SALE! 30% off select styles. baby sizes 0-24m, kid sizes 2-8.

Get in the Spooky Spirit with The Children’s Place this Halloween. The Children’s Place has once again designed a variety of unique costumes to outfit every trick-or-treater. Find costumes for all kids – there are costumes available for girls, boys and newborns! Each costume and accessory is created with the same attention to detail, quality and value that they have come to expect from The Children’s Place. The ultra-durable costumes last long after trick-or-treating is over for dress-up sessions all year long. Every costume is machine washable and made of comfortable fabrics that, unlike many costumes on the market, never irritate or itch. Plus you won’t break the budget! Great costumes with all the extras at goblin good prices – costumes from $22.50 – $29.50.

I love buying different accents that The Children’s Place has to offer. I often buy my daughter all the pairs of tights that I can find in her size. Because by Halloween they are usually on sale already. We love wearing thick tights around here because of the rain. It’s also a great way to stay warm while trick or treating.

The Children’s Place has generously offered one reader of Mom Start a Halloween bag. That’s quite a fun treat. Costumes are already on sale for under 16.00 and the tights are under give. I need to run over there before they run out of tights.

Visit the Children’s place and tell me which costume you like the most
