We've found spooktacular costumes and make-up in Singapore perfect for ghouls of all sizes. Make your Halloween go off with a BOOm!
It’s almost October! And though it’s still a while off before we can attend all of this year’s 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!

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 Sesame Street. 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.
