Halloween Express Review & Giveaway

Halloween Express is a HUGE site full of all things Halloween.  From costumes of all shapes and sizes along with accessories, to great indoor and outdoor decor, there really isn’t anything you won’t find!   The kids and I spent hours browsing, finding the perfect items for this year with the gift certificate they provided.

Let's pretend Ryan isn't blinking...

I sort of have a thing for gnomes… so when I saw this Garden Gnome costume on Halloween Express, I knew I just had to have two of them for Ryan and Dylan.  I was sure they wouldn’t keep the hats and beards on,  however they are super soft and the boys didn’t seem to mind at all.

In fact, the entire costume, which includes the hat, beard, one piece outfit and shoe covers, is very soft but still quite sturdy.  I was quite impressed with the quality and construction.

I also received a set of three foam Tombstones to decorate our yard with, that you can see in the above picture.  They are lightweight, yet very realistic looking.  They came with stakes to anchor them to our lawn, and six black roses.  I love them, and I think they make the perfect background prop for Halloween costume photos!

With the remainder of my gift certificate from Halloween Express, we chose several accessories to coordinate with the costumes the girls will be wearing.  Because of the reasonable prices, we were able to get tights, jewelry, gloves, and a headpiece to complete their vampire outfits.

I placed our order on September 13th, and our package came lighting fast- on just one day later on September 14th.  I have never EVER had anything arrive so quickly!

I can't stop laughing at them in these costumes!

Halloween Express has graciously offered one of my readers a $75 gift certificate to their site!  To enter, simply go to the site and comment letting me know what you might use the gift certificate for by September 24th.  This entry is mandatory!  The winner will be announced on September 25th.  Open to the US only, please.  Personalized items not included.

Want extra entries?  I’ve got several more!  Please leave an extra comment for each entry you complete.

    At this point, I think I’d let the girls pick among the princess costumes, since that’s what they are into right now (well, that and Mario and Luigi, and I guess I’m a mean mommy for not making that an option for my little girls, lol).

    What timing. I received ther catalog on the mail the other week and my 10 year old has been pouring through it. She badly wants to be a Valley Girl, my 7 year old wants to be Hannah Montana. She’s obsessed with anything Hannah Montana. Both of them are still arguing on what their baby brother will be. I guess he doesn’t get a say in this. LOL!

    Anneke is my only kid who needs a new costume this year. She’d probably go with the Butterfly Fairy or Snow White.

    If I won, though, I’d probably actually get Archer a costume too… Maybe even the gnome… We live far enough away… I could rip you off, right?
