Only 30 days to Halloween! The best deals on Halloween Costumes for your kids can be found closest to October 31. But if you plan on ordering, you’ll do better to take advantage of the current sale prices and free shipping offers. Free Shipping is likely to disappear on most sites by Mid-October.
Quality children’s costumes tend to maintain their resale value. If you’re interested in reselling your costumes next year or in future years, stay away from trendy character costumes.
The population of on-line Costume sites is endless. Check out our reviews of the Mega Costume sites to assure you get the most for your money, the best service, and the option to return or exchange.

Specialty Stores
Here are a few more ideas of places to shop. Or, search for yourself — the more specific you can be the better. For example, try variations on both costumes and dress-up clothes; select your theme, such as sports, animals, careers, fairies, etc.; search by size range such as baby, toddler, little kid, big kid, or youth.
- Disney Store: $5 shipping on orders of $50 or more (use code SHIPFOR5 at checkout). Luxe costumes always retain the best resale values. But, look for low-stock items too that are in high demand (early sell-outs will likely obtain a high resale value next year).
- Lillian Vernon: Most Costumes 20% off. Look for Free Shipping codes on line before you buy!
- Baby Style: 20% off and Free Shipping. Great place to look for baby costumes. Costumes are organized by ages Newborn, Baby, and Toddler (we like their website too!)
- Leaps and Bounds or One Step Ahead: Get a free subscription to Wonder Time, Family Fun, or Cookie with a $75 purchase. A good place to look for infant and toddler costumes, as well as personalized costumes.
- Wishcraft by Chasing Fireflies: No specials, but great selection of unique, high-end children’s costumes
- Pottery Barn Kids: 20% and Free Shipping on all Halloween Costumes and Treat Bags
