Anytime Costumes Halloween Costume Review and Giveaway: Winner's Choice!



With Halloween just around the corner, I'm sure there are many parents like myself searching for cute costumes for their kids! Kaelyn has officially entered the stage where she LOVES to pretend play! This means playing dress-up, and it's been so fun to watch her little imagination at work. I know she'll just love Halloween this year and being able to get all dressed up!

In my search for a costume for her, I came across Anytime Costumes. What I was most impressed with is that they offer adult, infant, toddler, child and teen costumes, as well as masks, wigs, make up and other great accessories year round! That means this is not only a resource I can use at Halloween time, but anytime I'm looking for fun dress up clothes for Kaelyn! Anytime Costumes is a family owned and operated company that is dedicated to providing it's customers with fantastic service, fast shipping, and quality costumes at affordable prices!

Anytime Costumes sent Kaelyn their Cheerleader USA costume.
Deciding which costume to choose was incredibly difficult, as there were so many cute ones to choose from! Like this Little Red Riding Hood costume for instance...how cute!

I finally did decide on the Cheerleader one though, and am so happy I did. The moment I opened it up, I could see that it was not only cute, but also good quality and exactly as described online! I had Kaelyn try it on and she was very excited to get dressed up and to see that there was a pom pom with it!

I really liked how easy Anytime Costumes makes it to find the correct size for your child. They give you the exact measurements of the costume so you know how it will fit. I intentionally got Kaelyn's a little big, because here in the Midwest it can be bitter cold by the end of October and we typically have to put on layers under the costumes just to stay warm. It fits Kaelyn just as I had hoped, with a little room to put something warm underneath it if needed.

If you're looking for an affordable Halloween Costume this year for your child, Anytime Costumes is definitely worth checking out. They have so many choices...you're sure to find something that's just perfect! I know if I had a little boy, the Amtrak Train Engineer costume would be my first choice for sure!

Buy It: The Cheerleader USA costume can be purchased from the Anytime Costumes website for just $19.99! They also have a Free Shipping Promotion going on right now for Free Ground Shipping on orders over $45....just use the coupon code: SEPT9B!
