What to Do with Those Once-Worn Halloween Costumes

So, you’ve spent a small fortune on Halloween costumes that you and your kids will wear for approximately ten minutes. Then what? Instead of letting them gather dust or tossing them out, here are some suggestions to make the most of your investment.

1. Costume Swap

Why not host a costume swap? Invite your friends over and tell everyone to bring their costumes to swap for next year.

2. Donate to Charity

Feeling generous? Pass those costumes on to charity. Goodwill and Salvation Army will gladly take them off your hands, letting you feel like a philanthropist while clearing out your closet.

3. Sell Online

List those costumes on eBay or Facebook Marketplace and watch a few pennies trickle in. But hey, every little bit helps, right?

4. Upcycle into new clothes, costumes, or accessories

Feeling crafty? Turn those costumes into something new. Your kids will love having more stuff to scatter around the house, and who knows you might even love a coat with a bedazzled cape on the back 😉

5. Host a Themed Party

Throw an unexpected Halloween themed party later in the year where you and your kids can wear your old costumes again!
