AnytimeCostumes.com Review & Giveaway (Winner's Choice!)

With so much going on lately, the weeks have been flying by! Not only does that mean Fall weather, but it also means October will be here before we know it. Other than getting ready for my kids' birthdays...October also means finding cute costumes for the kids to wear on Halloween. Both Kaelyn and Kaden enjoy dressing up, so this year I want to make sure that I find costumes that will not only be great for Halloween, but also dress-up play the whole year through. Thankfully, I know I can count on Anytime Costumes for just that!

A family owned and operated company born in 1975, Anytime Costumes started out as a retail party and costume store that grew to be Long Island's leading Halloween and holiday costume supplier. In 1999 their business expanded to the Internet to include AnytimeCostumes.com...a year-round source for adult, child, and plus-size costumes as well as costume accessories, make-up, masks, wigs, and more! AnytimeCostumes.com strives to differentiate themselves from other costume sites by offering a large selection of affordable items, fast shipping and great customer service.

I have had the opportunity to review several costumes from AnytimeCostumes.com over the past couple of years, and have always been impressed with the service, quality and overall selection of items offered. When I learned we were going to have the opportunity to review another of their toddler costumes, I knew the Toddler Make a Wish Veterinarian costume would be absolutely perfect!

Features/Benefits:

• Doctor lab coat "smock" with paw print fabric pockets, collar and cuffs
• Stuffed puppy and kitten
• Pet feeding bottle
• Name tag stickers
• Pet chart tablet
• Pet X-rays
• Veterinarian Activity booklet

Kaelyn has always loved anything and everything to do with animals. In fact, there was a time when she told me that a 'pet doctor' is what she wanted to do someday. For that reason, I knew this Veterinarian costume would be absolutely perfect!

When the costume arrived, I was excited to check it out. I love that it came in a durable, zip-up package making it great for keeping everything together when it's not in use.

As I pulled everything out of the package, I was amazed with all that it came with. Not only does it come with an adorable doctor lab coat "smock", but also all of the accessories needed to really encourage creativity. This is definitely a great option for Halloween, but also the perfect addition to an pretend play collection of dress-up gear.

When Kaelyn saw everything, she was begging to try it on and start playing. I decided to get the size 4-6 so it was something she could use for a long time. I was surprised to find that it fits her perfectly, so I'm very glad I got this instead of the size 3-4. She has a little room to grow, so I know she'll still be able to enjoy it for a while which is great. It's gender neutral too...which means when Kaden is bigger, he'll be able to enjoy playing with it as well. I think my favorite part about the smock is the adorable paw print fabric!

The accessories are what really set this costume apart as unique and one of a kind though. Kaelyn loves the puppy and kitty, as well as having everything she needs to feed them and care for them.

Overall the kids and I have been very happy with the Toddler Make a Wish Veterinarian costume from AnytimeCostumes.com. The quality is great, the accessories are wonderful, and the overall look makes it the perfect choice for both a Halloween costume and dress-up play outfit. Of course, this is just one example of the many high quality costumes AnytimeCostumes.com offers. If you're in search for fun kids costumes, or even adult costumes...AnytimeCostumes.com has it all!
