Are You Crafty?

It still feels like summer, but Halloween is just around the corner and if you want to have the hottest and best costume for you or your children now is the time to start looking. Halloween is a great time to think outside the box and become someone totally different.

Children love Halloween because they love to dress up and they love to eat candy. Adults also like Halloween because there are a ton of parties to go to and a great opportunity to have tons of fun. If you want to stand out from the crowd, then picking the perfect Halloween costume is your mission.

Take this opportunity to explore all the possible ideas for a great costume. Here are some sure fire ideas that will get you or your children noticed in 2010.

If your children have a hard time deciding what to be for Halloween, it’s always a good idea to start at what kinds of movies or toys they like. Toy Story 3 is a huge success at the box office so the classic Buzz Lightyear and Woody will make another appearance at Halloween.

Super heroes are also a huge thing this year. Batman or Superman or Spiderman will be a hit all around. To kick it up a notch, you and your child can design your own super hero, like in the movie Kick Ass, and be the talk of your class. Another huge success at the box office was Iron Man and what boy doesn’t want to be Iron Man? It’s flashy, fun and current.

If your children is into wizardry and witches, why not dress up at Harry Potter or Hermione Granger? Harry Potter is coming out with a new movie this year and I’m sure kids all around can’t wait to see it.

If your child is not into big box office movies, but prefers music sensations why not have them dress up as their favorite singing artists. By far the top favorite is Miley Cyrus or Hannah Montana. Many children love High School Musical and aspire to be in it.

Why not dress up as Zac Efron’s character Troy or Vanessa Hudgens character Gabriella?

Now that you have an idea for your child, what about yourself and your partner? A great thing many couples do that is super popular is dress up as famous couples.

For example, Barbie and Ken or Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. If you want to be more contemporary and controversial, go for Hollywood couples like the ill fated Kate and Jon Gosselin or Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Go for some comedy and dress up as Sarah Palin and Joe Six Pack. If you are single there are plenty of costumes to choose from. By far the most popular costumes right now is Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Alice in Wonderland, Britney Spears and Sookie and The Situation from Jersey Shore.

So have fun this year and go all out!
