Pink-a-licious
Punk pumpkins? Yes, there's a variety called porcelain doll that is a powdery pale pink. Think of all the fun you can have with that! And consider raising awareness or funds for breast cancer at the same time. The Canadian Cancer Society has a contest for the greatest pink pumpkin around.

Light the Way
If you're on the fence about the safety of glow sticks, equip the youngsters with a headlamp to help them see and be seen. The bonus is it can be used long after Halloween for wilderness adventures.

Halloween Gear to Get Now...Before It's Gone
It's happening…the costume aisles are packed, pumpkins are everywhere, and we're thinking about what delicious confections to purchase for trick-or-treating. Halloween is almost upon us and we have learned through bitter experience that it really pays to be organized early. Here are some ideas for the hottest costumes (that will sell out) as well as some tools and accessories that are not to be missed.
-
Fly Away Home
These are a great accessory for when we're not quite sure what our little creatively inclined youngster wants to dress up as, but we know it will be cute. From fairy to butterfly these wings are delightful and great for the dress up trunk year-round.
-
Darling Dumbo
Awwww, so cute—and comfy too. Wee ones will look beyond sweet in this Dumbo costume. Cue the sentimental tears. We love that this is perfect for pairing with a warmer top and bottom, or with their jammies.
-
Minion Rush
After the summer's blockbuster movie, everyone wants to be a minion. But hurry hurry—these costumes are flying off the shelves. So unless you want to be creating your own on Halloween eve, grab one now.
-
Cute Bones
Oh the little one will be so cozy in this soft grey sleeper displaying all their wee little bones. Great for baby's first Halloween, there will be no tears over uncomfortable costumes with this set. Plus, it's an extra sleeper! Win, win.
-
Open-ended Fun
The sky's the limit with this striking cape and mask set. With ‘Kapow' emblazoned on the back, we're sure that they will be using their powers to make the world a better place. It's also great for dress-up fun all year long.
-
Use the Force
With the upcoming new Star Wars movie our little ones are once again besotted by all things Jedi. This costume will allow them to dress up as one of their fave characters and get into the Star Wars spirit. Plus no mask, which is good for school.
-
Bat Baby
Add a black T-shirt and pants and top it all off with this adorbs bat wing beanie and an easier costume there never was. Especially great if Halloween night is nippy on little ears.
-
Scientist-in-Training
This lab coat will have them dreaming of bubbling potions and amazing discoveries. It's a great base and from there the sky's the limit with accessories—think crazy hair, cool glasses or goggles, some fun tools in the pocket, and there's a Nobel Prize-winning costume for sure.
-
Great Pumpkin!
This is a great way to get ready for Halloween. Before the costume goes on they can sport this festive Halloween shirt and be comfortable and not overheat in class, activities or at play.
-
Go to the Dark Side
Got a kiddo who would rather play the baddie for a day? We're relieved this costume packs a lot of 'wow' without packing a punch to our wallets.
-
Mal-velous
Mal from Disney's Descendants is one of our favourite fairy tale characters. She's smart, strong-willed and determined. So we're totes behind our little one's plans to embody the daring daughter of Maleficent with this costume/dress.
-
They Love Mummy
It's a costume and PJs for the toddler set. Now your little one can be a Mummy without sacrificing a forest's worth of toilet paper. Great for kids with sensitivities to certain fabrics or elaborate costumes, this set is pretty cute to boot!
-
Scrub-a-licious
They want to dress up as a real doctor this year and who are we to thwart such ambitions? These scrubs are authentic looking, can be personalized, and are ever so cute. Order soon because they need a bit of extra time.
-
Reflektor
A little bit of reflective tape goes a long way. Think a patch on a trick-or-treat plastic pumpkin or cauldron, on the back of a mask, or on one of the many accessories to the costume itself. They'll be bright, they'll be seen, and they'll be safe.
-
Loot Bag
They need a bag for their haul and this one can be used year after year. Unlike cheap plastic it's sure not to tear under the weight of candy mountain. No tears in the bag means no tears in their eyes.
-
Let it Go!
Yes, Frozen is still a huge deal. If your little has requested an Elsa costume for Halloween, rest assured the get-up can still be found. Good to know: Anna and Olaf are in stores, too.
-
Jazzy Jack-O’-Lantern
Those intricate Jack-O'-Lantern designs are much easier to execute with the proper tools. Grab this tool set while they're still available and let the carving begin!
