Costume Universe

Part 1 dealt with the adventure of getting ready for the Holiday season and what almost every family goes through to get prepared. We look back at everything we do just to see those special moments on Christmas Day.

The adventure that I will touch on is the one that happens afterward. The toy truck that will take a little boy through the make believe world of hauling, moving, digging, and all of those places that his mind will take him to. The doll which takes a little girl to those places of tea parties, castles, and far away places where it is just her and her new best friend.

We can’t forget about the teenagers who will try on those new shoes, shirt, dress, jeans, jewelry that when they look in the mirror can already see themselves going back to school in their new duds. The adults who will do the same thing but maybe with a new TV, clothes, computer or laptop, and just about anything.

We all ponder of how cool it is and can’t wait for everyone else to look at our new possessions. We at CostumeUniverse would like to add on to those adventures. Imagine gifting a new costume that will go with what your child, teenager, and, yes, even an adult, has just received and it takes them further into that euphoria of an imaginary place. Because we all know that once you put on a costume you take on that role from which the costume signifies.

Putting on that princess dress that matches the doll that matches the tea set…. what a better way to really enjoy that moment. A little boy could put on that fireman costume to go along with that new firetruck that he wanted. Then watching him go outside and battle those make believe fires.

That is the adventure that I am talking about in this part. Think about adding that little extra something to those moments! Look through our selection of costumes and accessories and just picture of how much more enjoyable those precious moments can be and how much memorable.

Didn’t Christmas just pass!

I found myself having to already start thinking about this holiday season and, for many, Halloween is the first Holiday that officially kicks off the 2009 Holiday Season.

From Fall festivals at your local schools to all of the weekend Halloween parties that one gets invited to, you need to start thinking of decorations, costumes, candy, and which invite your going to RSVP to.  If you have children, I’m sure that the decision of which costume to get them is always changing.  I know, I have 2 girls and they are always changing their minds.  Today, it’s a princess costume and tomorrow it’s a hauntingly wicked witch.  For a boy, I’m sure that it is as wide a range of differences.

CostumeUniverse.com has 1,000’s of ideas that will help you with your choice.  If you live in the Atlanta area, you’re lucky because our warehouse is in Tucker, Georgia.  With a warehouse full of fun things to choose from, you can click on www.costumeuniverse.com, search for a costume, add it to your cart and, if you prefer, you can select local pickup to forego shipping charges, and pay via MC/Visa/Amex/Discover or Paypal.  For those who are not local, we offer shipping through UPS.

Now, if you or your kids are anything like I used to be waiting for Halloween, I could not wait to try on my costume not only once, twice, but up to three times.  Always making sure that it fit and that I had all of the accessories (make-up, etc.).  I bet I would hit the stores a few times after the fact because there was always something missing.  That is also a wonderful thing about costumeuniverse.com and the internet.  Once you see the picture of the costume you would like, you’ll immediately know what it comes with and what you need additionally as far as accessories and CostumeUniverse has them as well.   So you can order everything at once and it get’s delivered right to your home.

So beat the rush!  Get your Costume today and don’t end up with everyone else’s leftovers or running all over town finding something or having to pay higher shipping charges than you need to.

Order between now and September 30^th and get a 10% discount on your order by using the following coupon code RM2009.

Stay tuned for my next article on the some great costume ideas and how we at CostumeUniverse can help you.
