Attention Procrastinators! Halloween is Nigh!
Some people start thinking about the next Halloween on November 1st of the preceding year. For the procrastinators, I would like to remind you that there are only ten days to get your thinking cap on and your fingers cracking at halloween costumes if that is the way your preferences lean. If you don’t believe me, just look at the calendar.
Sometimes, the best costumes I have ever worn came out of last minute procrastination. When I was a kid, I found an old box, a few magic markers and I went as a Rubik’s Cube. We had a parade through the different classrooms of the school, and I couldn’t make it between the rows of desks. Poor planning on my part, I know. In the years since, I thought that the last minute route was the way to go based on my prior success, but found that the creativity well often was dry now and again and I went to the store to look for the one or two elements of a costume I couldn’t find around the house and was sorely out of luck. I mean, you can’t exactly make a deerstalker’s hat with your limited 4th grader skills in a way that people could tell what it was.
In truth, I didn’t wear a Sherlock Holmes hat. That was just an example of something not easily made. After milking the Rubik’s Cube costume a few years, I used it as the basis of going as a dining room table complete with place setting.
I found that if you are totally desperate and can’t possibly milk the same costume again for a third year in a row, Halloween Adventure still has some last minute Halloween emergency shipping options, where you can still order up until a few days before depending on what state you are in. I will warn you though. This is the last call. If you order today with ground shipping, you’ll get it the 28th. You can shell out more for faster shipping if you want. Don’t wait until the day before Halloween because it is just not going to happen for you. In otherwords, drop what you are doing right now and get on the stick!
