Star Costumes Review and Giveaway

Last year I bought my kids costumes at a local store. It was a bad idea. There were six other kids in my son's class that had the same one and three in my daughter's. That's what happens when you live in a small town with limited inventory. We really only had about ten things to choose from. I promised myself that this year I was going to find an online company that would insure my children had original costumes. One of the greatest places I've found to fulfill this need is an online store called Star Costumes. They have a huge variety of  costume choices for the whole family, from infants to grown ups.  You'll even find something for your pets!




With all the amazing costumes at Star, it was difficult to choose just one.  But my son finally settled on the kids Ghostbuster Costume. This is such a cool costume because Ghostbusters are popular with kids today, but it still has that retro feel about it that reminds me of my own childhood. The set comes with a one piece jumpsuit that can be worn directly over their regular clothes. This is great for when they dress up at school. It  includes an inflatable backpack. The handle is also inflatable and can be attached with Velcro. This part is awesome too because when Halloween is over, I'm sure my son will still have hours of fun playing Ghostbusters. If you think this is a great costume idea but don't have a child, don't worry! It is also availalble in adult and plus sizes. They even have a special sexy version for the ladies who can get away with it.




Prices at Star Costumes are always lower than regular retail, but for even more savings make sure you check the clearance section where you can find prices as low as $10! They have a full line of accessories including jewelry, wigs, masks, make up and more. Not to mention some pretty cool props and decorations.  No matter what you are looking for this Halloween, you can find it at Star Costumes. Plus they offer free shipping on all orders over $50!  Get a head start on  your Halloween shopping and check them out today.




Now for the most exciting part! The wonderful folks over at Star Costumes are going to give one of my readers a $30 gift certificate to use towards any item in their store.
