Toddler Costumes at the Whole Sale Costume Club

WHOLESALE
COSTUME CLUB


It's that time again,  before we know it Halloween will be here!  Have you bought your costume yet?  What about your children's costumes?  If you haven't,   you should definitely check out  the Wholesale Costume Club.  No matter if your looking for a costume for yourself,  husband,  daughter,  or son,  they are sure to have one to suit everyone's needs. 

My oldest son want to be a Power Ranger this year,  so I went to the search box,  typed in "Power Rangers" and up popped 19 results!   Besides  Power Rangers they also offer some great kids Halloween costumes.
Next,  I decided to browse some of their women's costumes.  Check out this 80's themed costume.  It's bright colors so remind me of the 80's.  Not to mention the funky hair dos and side pony tails! 


My husband doesn't dress up for Halloween,  but if he was to wear a Halloween costume I think he may like the Men's Gangster Costume. 

I think it is important to really capture your personality in your costume,  and Wholesale Costume Club makes that happen by providing customers with a huge variety of styles.  I looked around their site their for quite a while  and I must admit I had a lot of fun costume shopping.  I decided to look in the toddler costumes section for a costume for my soon to be three year old son.  A lot of costumes caught my eye,  but none of them compared to the Mr. Potato Head themed costume.  I grew up on Mr. Potato Head and,  so have my kids,  so I couldn't have selected a better costume if I would have tried! 


Let me fill you in on a little bit of Mr. Potato Head history.  Let's just say Mr. Potato Head is quite the popular guy!  He was born in 1949 and has never gone out of style.  Believe me,  if you haven't owned a Mr. Potato Head sometime in your life,  than somethings missing from your childhood because every child should own one,  at one time or another.  Mr Potato Head has even stared as a character on Disney-Pixar Toy Story Series. 



I decided to try the costume on my son to see if it would fit well on him because I ordered it a little bit larger for his age.  He will be three in less than two months so I thought the Toddler size 3-4 would fit him best.  The Wholesale Costume Club also offers this particular costume in a size Small(4-6) for young children.  The costume fits him so well,  and I must say he looks like the cutest little Potato Head I have ever seen!  T

The Mr. Potato Head costume comes with detachable male eyes,  nose,  mustache,  and a mouth. The only thing I think this costume is lacking is a hat for Mr. Potato Head.  I plan on purchasing a hat to really set the costume off.  The design of the costume allows you to dress your child in clothing suitable for the cold weather while out trick or treating,  so your little will stay warm.  I predict he is going to get lots of compliments this year on his adorable costume. 

Guess what?  The Mr. Potato Head  costume can also be changed into Mrs. Potato Head!  Which leads me to  the best part about purchasing this costume - the costume has interchangeable parts.  That's right,  you can simply remove the Mr. Potato Head face and use the Velcro to attach the Mrs. Potato Head face and visor(or mix and match them). If you notice I changed the nose on the second photo,  just for fun!  Because it can be transformed into Mrs. Potato Head,  we will be able to pass it on to our lil niece for next Halloween,  lucky her!  Are you a little jealous because you wish they offered an adult Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head,  well no worries because they offer  those too!  Take a look around their site and I am sure you will find plenty of costumes that will catch your eye. 

BUY IT:  You can purchase the Kids Mr. Potato Head Deluxe Costume for only $33.98(non member price), or $29.96(member price).

Etsy- My Lucy's Loft


It is always a pleasure reviewing items from Etsy because everything is usually so unique.  It's not everyday that you come across a Mr. Potato Head Onsie!  That is why I was so excited when My Lucy's Loft agreed to send me a Mr. Potato Head Onsie to review!  I remember playing with Mr. Potato Head when  I was just a child,   now my children play with them.  Did you know that Mr. Potato Head originally started out as a real potato with small plastic pronged body and face parts that could be stuck into it?   Or you had the option of choosing a different vegetable,  it was really up to you because you had to supply the veggie or fruit to stick it in.  

Now days Mr. Potato Head remains a classic,  and a must have for all children,  including mine!  Mr. Potato Head themed clothes are very hard to find,  so I was very lucky to find the onsie by My Lucy's Loft.  Besides,  the onsie they also offer tot tees along with youth tees.  Sizes are available from o months up- all the way to an XL size 12-14,  so they basically have all children covered when it comes to this style.  If you want something for yourself, with the Mr. Potato theme, she offers Matching tote bags for only $12.99.  

I recieved a size 18-24 months to review on my youngest son.  I ordered it a size up,  so he would have plenty of time to grow into the onsie.   It looked exactly the same as it did on her page.  A white onsie decorated with a big Mr. Potato Head character in the middle.  Mr. Potato Head was dressed in a green hat tilted to the side,  yellow glasses and blue shoes.  The onsie fit my son with room to grow into it,  and looked adorable on him.  I thought it would be cute to do  birthday party in a Mr. Potato Head theme.  The child could wear the Mr. Potato Head Tot Tee and have Mr. Potato Heads as decorations.  I purchased a mini Mr. Potato Head at Walmart for only three bucks to go along with his darling Mr. Potato Head Onsie. 

Each Mr. Potato Head themed onsie and or shirt can be purchased for only  $12.99, plus shipping and handling,  which runs $3.50.  If you buy four or more onsies from My Lucy's Loft you will receive a free onsie(excluding shipping).  She has over 150 styles to choose from including:  sayings,  characters,  famous icons,  and classic cartoons.  Be sure to check her page often because she is constantly adding new styles to her shop.  I easily found four onsies that I love,  check them out below:


 

To wash your onsies you will have to use cold water,  and be sure to turn the garment inside out.  You must remove the garment promptly from the washer,  so that the color does not bleed.   I plan on buying an item from their site in the future.  I am Not sure which one yet,  but I am sure it will correspond with a party theme .  Go check out their very stylish onsies and tees at My Lucy's Loft
