Captain America Costume Review from WholesaleHalloweenCostumes.com

Can you believe that Halloween is less than two weeks away?! With four children to get costumes for every year, well it can be a little scary. There have been plenty of years where my boys have used hand-me-downs either from their older brother or from older cousins. This year, however, we needed three new costumes. Every year we do a theme with our boys. Last year, and pretty much ever year before that, they were all Star Wars characters. This year we decided that since they love Marvel super heroes so much and we already had masks and helmets, that they would each be a Marvel comic book character. My oldest decided to be Captain America, the twins wanted to be Thor and Iron Man and the toddler is going to be Spider-Man (hand-me-down).


WholesaleHalloweenCostumes has a wide selection of costumes for everyone in your family. I was particularly impressed with the various kids costumes they had in stock. We were sent the "Boys Classic Muscle Captain America Movie Costume" to review for my six year old. This was our first time ever using the costumes with muscles so I couldn't wait to see how he cute he looked. While I waited for that to arrive, I headed to buy local party store to look for costumes for the twins. While there I noticed that the prices were about $10 MORE than the prices on Wholesale Halloween Costumes. That is a pretty significant difference, especially when shopping for multiple kids. I grabbed an Iron Man costume but then decided to go back home and order the Thor costume from WholesaleHalloweenCostumes.com. I placed my order late on a Friday afternoon, October 7, and paid for expedited shipping. Once my order was placed it said the costume would arrive guaranteed on October 11. Their shipping is awesome and fast! I can't tell you how surprised I was when it arrived a day early on October 11 which was also Columbus Day.

The Captain America costume comes with a jumpsuit with muscles in torso and arms, attached boot tops and a character hood. The shield is sold separately but luckily we already had one. My son loves this costume! I ordered him the Medium which fits boys size 7 - 8. I was a little nervous about the sizing as he currently is at a stage where 6 is either too small or just good enough and 7 is too big. So I was worried that this costume was going to be huge on him. Thankfully it fits great. The length of the torso is perfect and the legs are only a little long, which is good because that means he can use it for dress up for a while. I really like the muscles as they are subtle and look so cute. He put this on within minutes of the UPS man dropping it off and he was walking around flexing and telling me to look at his muscles.

He has since asked me to wear this every day when he gets home from school. So once he finishes his homework he puts this on and runs around the house with his brothers. We also dressed the boys up and brought them down to New York Comic Con recently and he had a blast showing himself off. Countless people stopped to take pictures of my little Avengers. You can also see the Thor costume I ordered from WholesaleHalloweenCostumes.com in the Comic Con photo (hammer not included).

I was so very pleased with both my review and shopping experience. The quality of the costumes is wonderful and with the lower prices and reasonable fast shipping, WholesaleHalloweenCostumes.com is definitely a site I recommend for your costume shopping.

Wordless Wednesday: New York Comic Con 2011

On Sunday we headed down to the New York Comic Con for the second year in a row. My niece dressed as Wonder Woman and my boys dressed as some of The Avengers: Captain America, Thor and Iron Man. And of course there is my hubby as Green Lantern. It was a fun day!

Abe's Market Covers All Your Natural Shopping Needs

When I have to do some shopping for natural products, I usually end up having to hit multiple online stores. One for personal care and beauty items another for cleaning supplies and so on. It would be awesome and a big time saver if there was a store that covered all of those needs for us eco shoppers. This is where Abe's Market comes to the rescue!

Abe’s Market is the online marketplace for great natural products. We connect buyers seeking amazing natural products with the people who make them. There’s no need to prowl the Internet for a broader natural product selection than can be found at your local natural market. At Abe’s Market, you can get all your natural product buying done in one place.

This is what I like to call a "one stop eco shop" because they have such a broad range of natural products ranging from food to toys. What is really nice is that each product description gives you a brief background on the brand/company. You can click through for more information about the company, why making natural products is important to them, any cause they support or are involved in and even a Q & A. There is also a cool social feature of shopping at Abe's Market. You will see there is a share it price on the product page. If you share items via email to three or more people then Abe's Market gives you 10% off your entire order.
