Trick-or-treating has been a Halloween tradition for kids and even grown-ups in many countries. Children love dressing up in costumes and travel from house-to-house to ask for treats. Halloween costumes used to mean scary, eerie and freaky looks and get-ups. Nowadays, anyone can wear almost any type of costume their heart desires — from cartoon characters to superheroes to pop culture icons! Are you the type who wants to go out of the box and dress up your kids differently every Halloween?
Check out these online shops for super cute and non-traditional Halloween costumes.
Sophia's Crochet Collections
Price range: Php250 to Php1,500
Zarina Joy Balido started crocheting three months after she gave birth in 2014. She was inspired by the cute crochet baby shoes that she saw on the internet, which motivated her to learn the craft. Now, her store can provide crochet baby shoes, headbands, bikinis, tutus and baby costumes! Her bestsellers and the moms’ all-time favorite crochet costumes are mermaids, Disney princesses, Despicable Me minions, and superheroes. All items are made to order with one to two weeks lead time.
