Halloween is my absolute favorite day of the year. Not only do I love dressing up, but I love checking out all of the fun kid, toddler and baby costumes my friends and neighbors dress their children up in. I wish I could have a baby of my own, because if I could, I would totally dress her up in this fabulous Pink Poodle costume from HalloweeenandCostumes.com. Isn’t it absolutely adorable?
I have been told that this is the hot baby costume for 2011, and I just checked eBay and saw that it is selling for $90! Since I adore babies and toddlers so much, I’m thrilled to announce that I’m giving away not 1, but 2 of these cute puppy dog costumes, which retail at $42.99. One winner will receive either the 6-12 month size or the 12-18 month size! I like that you can dress your baby up in tights and a turtle neck underneath the costume, or even a little jogging suit or a slim coat if it is cold outside.
As you can see, HalloweenandCostumes.com ships to the U.S. for free. I love that they do this, because I can’t begin to tell you how generous I think this company is. Not only are they sending me a $50 gift certificate just for hosting this Pink Poodle Puppy Dog costume giveaway, but they sent me the entire Harry Potter costume last month, and let me host an international Halloween costume giveaway that just ended yesterday!
If you visit their website, you’ll find costumes quickly by visiting links to their Adult Costumes, Sexy Costumes, Kid Costumes, Baby Costumes, Plus Size Costumes, New 2011 and my favorite, Sale. They have the cutest baby costumes–you should see how cute their Elvis, Hot Dog and Tootsie Roll infant costumes are! I’m dying of cuteness overload right now. I love that this store has such a wide variety of costumes in every size, from newborn to 4X. They have the best variety of costumes I’ve seen on any online Halloween retailer website, and trust me, I’ve looked at 20 or so online costume stores in the past month. If you are looking for variety, then HalloweenandCostumes.com is the answer to your prayers.
Make sure to also check out their Halloween Photo Contest—Best Group/Family/Couple Costume here.

I did the google+ and liked it on facebook! My 17 month old daughter saw this costume a couple months ago and told me she wanted to be a puppy. But everywhere that has it at a somewhat affordable (If I can save enough-lol) price is completely sold out. I would LOVE to win the 12 to 18 month costume for Naomi.
She would be so excited!
Oops! My google+ account is: Amy
My facebook name is: Amy Marie Adams
I did the main entries, my google + id is Terri Beavers (terrishaven (@) gmail.com), I liked their FB page, Terri Ramsey Beavers, and if I win I would love the 12 to 18 month costume. Thank you for the chance to win these are just adorable.
I added you to my circle on Google+ now!
I hope I’m doing this right-lol! I’ve never done one of these before.

Oh, I don’t know if I was supposed to say why I want to win this costume seperately from my first comment letting you know that I did the first entry steps. I saw that commenting on here with why you want to win it is another entry so just in case-lol: I need to win this costume for my 17 month old Naomi. She REALLY wants to be a dog for Halloween (that’s what she told me when I asked her what she wanted to dress up as-lol) and when she saw a picture of this costume she got so excited!
But I can’t find it anywhere for an affordable price and the places with prices that are somewhat lower (although still too high for me) are all sold out. I had given up hope on finding it when I saw that you’re having this contest! If I win it will make a little toddler VERY happy!!

I really love Halloween and have a daughter who just turned 9 months old. We really loved this costume and recently had to get new windows in our house so have depleted our account and my husband is not woking right now, so free stuff is very enticing at the moment. I would love to win a size 12-18 months costume for her 1st Halloween! Thanks!
