HalloweenExpress.com Review & Giveaway




September is in full swing, which means Halloween will be here before we know it. As I walk through the isles of stores, I already see costumes lining the racks. I think costume shopping is a lot of fun, but it can also be overwhelming trying to find the right costume at the right price. That's why I was excited to come across Halloween Express.

Since 1990, Halloween Express has been one of the most aggressive and dynamic Halloween costume and costume accessory chains in the US. They are able to offer the largest selection of Halloween costumes and accessories you'll find anywhere online due to their year-round internet operation and seasonal Halloween costume store retail locations.

When I first came across HalloweenExpress.com, I was very impressed with their large selection of products. Not only do they offer costumes for all ages, but also Halloween accessories and decorations. This is a one-stop shop for all things Halloween.

When I learned we were going to have the opportunity to review something from their site, I couldn't have been more excited. The hard part was deciding what to choose. I spent quite a while browsing through their children's costumes and accessories before deciding on the adorable Enchanted Alice Toddler Costume.

Not only is this a great Halloween costume, but with Kaelyn being at an age where dress up consumes most of her days...I thought this was perfect! I have to say that Halloween Express impressed me right off the bat with their fast shipping. It wasn't long after I placed my order that I had it sitting on my doorstep!

I was very pleased with the details of the Enchanted Alice Toddler Costume. You never know how well a costume will be made when you're ordering online, so this was something I really appreciated. Kaelyn LOVES the sparkly sequins.

It can be frustrating when you have a costume, but still need to come up with all the accessories that go along with it. The fact that this came with the Dress, attached pinofore and apron, and matching hair tie is something I thought was great! We have everything we need for a super cute Alice in Wonderland costume!!

Kaelyn sure likes it. The moment she spotted it, she couldn't wait to try it on. She loves anything 'girly and princessy' as she says....so this was perfect!

We also received the Wizard of Oz Deluxe Toto w/ Basket.
With talk of Halloween and seeing all of the Dorothy costumes around, Kaelyn has been really into Dorothy and of course, her little puppy.


I really didn't know what to expect, but had no idea that it would be as great of quality as it was. Not only is the basket sturdy, but the Toto dog is a nice size and something I know Kaelyn will have fun playing with all times of the year.



These are only a couple of the many items Halloween Express has! I have been really happy with the products we received from them and would highly recommend checking them out if you're still hunting for the perfect Halloween costume (whether it be for your child or yourself). Halloween Express offers a great selection of everything you could need at affordable prices.

Buy It: You can purchase the Enchanted Alice Toddler Costume for $16.79 and the Wizard of Oz Deluxe Toto w/Basket for $19.99 on HalloweenExpress.com

Win It: One very lucky reader is going to win a $75 Gift Card to use at Halloween Express!
