]]>Trick or Treat! Halloween is a few days away and we know most people are in a panic to create a last-minute costume. No matter your level of creativity, we’ve made a list of a few easy costume ideas for all ages and even a few suggestions for pets. Read below for some creative (and easy) Halloween costume suggestions!
Costume: Gumball Machine
What you’ll need:
Multicolor pom poms
A black/white top
Red skirt/pants (the gumball machine)
Black felt (the 25-cent coin slot)
Glue gun and sticks
Steps: Hot glue the pom poms to the shirt to create the “gumball” portion. Use the felt to cut out and create the 25-cent slot. Glue the “money slot” on the red skirt/pants to create the “machine/stand” portion.
Costume: Harry Potter
What you’ll need:
Red and gold striped scarf
Black, round, glasses
Red face paint
Black robe
Steps: Draw a lightening bolt shaped scar on forehead. Throw on the robes, scarf, and glasses, and poof! You’re a Hogwarts legend.
Costume: Holy Guacamole
What you’ll need:
Green t-shirt
Printed photos of avocados
Angel wings
Halo
Steps: Glue printed photos of avocados to a green shirt. Add angel attire and now you’re the puniest person at the party.
Costume: Bunch of Grapes
What you’ll need:
Black t-shirt
Black pants
A pack of purple balloons
Tape or hot glue
Steps: Tape or glue inflated purple balloons to your neutral under clothes. For an added detail, wear a green beanie to create a grape stem.
The anti-costume: Error 404
Steps: Find a local t-shirt screen printer or draw on a t-shirt “Error 404 Costume Not Found.” This is a snarky and minimal effort costume for even the most last minute of decisions.
Owner/Pet costume: Vendor and Hotdog
What you’ll need:
Red apron
White shirt
Chef hat
Doggie hotdog costume
Owner/Pet costume: Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf
What you’ll need:
Red fabric/hood
A basket of goodies
If your pup’s ears aren’t ferocious enough, add large black fluffy ears to mimic a wolf.
We hope our suggestions sparked your imagination and that you can pull together an easy and creative Halloween costume. Have a safe and spooky Halloween!

]]>- Fill up water bottles and freeze them the night before. Use these as makeshift ice packs, and when they melt you can drink the water! Cooler space is sacred so don’t waste it.
- Buy a helium balloon or invest in getting your team’s flag. Fly these high and proud so friends can find your spot with ease.
- Serving potato salad or coleslaw? Set it out in a decorative bowl. No one will know you bought it from the grocery store that morning.
- Supplies that will help in a bind: toilet paper, duct tape, permanent marker, hand sanitizer.
- Make your own Bloody Mary bar or deck out your hotdogs with lots of toppings. Use a 6 pack cardboard container to carry all of your sauces.
- Walking Tacos are a hit for all ages. Cook beef with taco seasoning the night before, heat it up however you choose the day of, and set out all the toppings people could want. Set up is simple, so it’s a win-win situation.
