I just came across this idea and think I'm going to do it. The prices on Halloween costumes will drop just before and after (drastically) Halloween. Some of the accessories will even be less than $1! Buy some up, along with some costumes and put them together in a trunk (or loose) for a Christmas present. What better way to have a collection for dress-up play! I love those little princess costumes and know my little diva would love to play with them once she's old enough!

I almost always buy costumes the day after Halloween to put up for the next year, too. Even if my own kids don't want to be what I bought, I can sell them...and make a profit!

That is exactley what I am planning to do. Can't wait to hit the sales so I can make a princess dress up chest for my DD.

I’ve been SWAK’d!

I will try to buy 2 of the same costume for the next year that way if my child grows more than I thought I will have an extra costume to use for extra material etc.

I did this last year for my dd's dress up trunk.
