We've found spooktacular costumes and make-up in Singapore thats's perfect for ghouls of all sizes. Make your Halloween go off with a BOOm!
It’s almost October! Though we reckon we probably won’t be able to attend any Halloween-themed events, we can still dress the kids up in their favourite costumes and go around trick or treating (with masks, of course). But, if the idea of finding epic costumes for your little ghosts and goblins spooks you more than the most ghoulish of horror films, then you’re not alone. And, if the kids are tired of your ghastly Pinterest fail DIY Halloween costumes while trick or treating and are after something scream-worthy for the right reasons, we’ve got the lowdown. Here’s where you can buy Halloween costumes in Singapore!
Where to buy Halloween costumes in Singapore
My Mini-Me
We think My Mini-Me has a fabulous business model. You select online from hundreds of cute kiddie costumes ranging from all-time Disney faves and superheroes, to Power Rangers and Minions. They’re fun and affordable! With prices starting at $7 for outfit rental, it’s got to be one of the cheapest on the island. As a bonus for busy parents, you don’t need to clean prior to return. We love a good time-saving hack.
