The best kids’ costumes sell out fast
And that’s why it’s never too early to start planning for Halloween and throwing around Halloween costume ideas. Hot ticket items include Fortnite Halloween costumes for kids and Star Wars Halloween costumes. Kids start figuring out their Halloween costumes the day after loading up on candy and other loot on October 31.
Think we’re kidding? Not even close. For kids, Halloween is the Super Bowl of sugar, the Wold Cup of dress-up. And the most coveted costumes disappear quicker than a fully-loaded bag of candy.
