Now that October has come to an end its time to begin
preparing for the Christmas time, although it is only November we all know that
we prepare for Christmas very early. So don’t leave costumes to the last minute
and get them sorted with us here at AllFancyDress. We have plenty of different
Christmas themed outfits from snowmen to reindeer and of course Santa outfits
perfect for those looking to become the jolly red man this Christmas season.
Let’s start with the big guy himself. Santa Claus or Father
Christmas is the face of the Christmas season so no wonder people enjoy
dressing up as the jolly man during the Christmas season. We have a great
variety of Santa costumes for the men in a variety of styles and sizes
including some plus sizes! There are even some different costumes including a
tuxedo suit styled Santa costume and even a second skin costume! There is
however somebody we also need to mention, Santa could not do everything by
himself, who looks after the elves and reindeer while Santa is checking his
list? Mrs Claus of course, without her help Santa’s little helpers wouldn’t be
a big help and we understand that so we have a great variety of Ladies Santa
costumes or as we call her Mrs Claus! They all come in a variety of styles and
sizes perfect for those Mrs Claus wannabes out there. Many of our Santa and Mrs
Claus costumes work great as a couple so make sure to check out our couples
Christmas page to have a look at the bundles we have available! These Christmas
characters also have costumes for the boys and girls of the jolly season too!
Has the Santa role already been taken? Now you’re stuck with
no idea what to dress up as for a Christmas party or event?! No worries because
here at AllFancyDress we have a variety of other Christmas themed outfits,
costumes and accessories that will leave Santa Claus gobsmacked. These costumes
range from Christmas characters like the snowman to the reindeer and even some
more obscure characters like a Christmas Turkey, Cracker, Christmas tree and
even a Christmas Pudding!
We even have Penguin costumes for those looking to be a
different animal than the usual reindeer.
What if I want some more generic Christmas costumes that fit
the scene but don’t matter if there are multiple people wearing the same style?
Then look towards our elf or angel pages that will give you a great Christmas
look no matter what! The elves are of course the handy assistants of the big
man Santa Claus and work to create all the gifts and presents for the children
that make them smile. The angels of course come from the idea that they bring
messages and festivities to the mortals on earth making people cheerful and
filling them with such excitement that makes Christmas season one of the
greatest.
We have many different Christmas themed accessories and hats
as well for those looking to only dress up a little or just need that extra
something to make all the difference to their Christmas costume. Some of our
accessories that you might be interested or need for other costumes include the
Half Moon Santa Specs for those looking to become Mr Claus and also a Stuffer
to make the jolly man’s belly if you need to put on a few without eating a lot!
We also have angel wings to go with a variety of white clothes or our angel
themed outfits, a range of Christmas themed hosiery including the festive red
and green colours and a candy cane themed pair of stockings. For hats we go
from the classic Red and white Santa hats to headgear to keep the elves and
their pointy ears warm as well as some more “out of the box” hats including a
turkey hat (cooked and uncooked) a reindeer hat and even a Christmas tree!
So if you have a Christmas event coming up or are planning
to host one, perhaps you should get set for heavy storms of snow and shopping
by getting your fancy dress costumes quickly!
If you need any more help don’t hesitate to ask!

At Allfancydress.com we’re welcoming the crackdown on the safety of children’s fancy dress costumes, but it’s not only the safety of this type of clothing that needs further investigation: it’s all types of children’s clothing.
Did you know that ordinary child daywear garments outside of either EN71-2 or BS 5722 safety requirements for toys and nightwear respectivel are not tested for flammability whatsoever?
We’re just as shocked as you are. We’re adamant that more stringe tests should be carried out.
At Allfancydress.com we carry out our own independent flammability testing on all types of children’s clothing, including our own products. We recently set fire to school uniforms, sports kit and party dresses and found that they went up quicker than the fancy dress costumes you’ll find on our site.
We’ve grown increasingly concerned at the way supermarkets have entered the fancy dress industry, replicating styles of costumes and selling them at knock-down prices.
As an independent fancy dress retailer and one of the biggest online sellers in the UK, we’re firm believers that our customers should rightly expect to buy genuine, branded, quality goods.
Buying cheap costumes can often be a foolhardy thing to do. The last thing you want for your children is for them to wear an outfit at Halloween where corners have been cut with the design and the safety compromised.
In fact, we’ve seen all too many examples first-hand of costumes from online and offline marketplaces and small retailers importing cheap fancy dress mimicking genuine products and styles.
Flammability is no doubt a complicated science. But it’s relevant to all types of kids’ apparel – not just fancy dress!
So with Halloween and Bonfire Night firmly on the horizon, we just want to make parents acutely aware of the flammability issues, keeping children clear of naked flames and safe without spoiling the enjoyment of the spooky season!

We are now so very close to the Halloween night. So now
people will begin to think up or look for creepy stories and facts to keep
their friends awake at night. This has been made popular because of campfire
nights when people had gathered around the campfire to tell scary stories in
order to creep out each other to cause them to stay awake. So being so close to
Halloween we will now list some really good ways to scare your friends and
family.
Things like scary ghost stories, creepy sightings, unsolved
mysteries and things like that are all popular ways of giving people a case of
the Heebie-Jeebies. You can easily find things like this online such as on various
social websites, other blog sites and especially YouTube. YouTube has a huge
variety of lists explaining really creepy and somewhat unnerving stories by
other people about ghosts, monsters and more! So if you want a good scare or to
get a good story to tell your friends and family this Halloween these are the
stories to look for!
Of course one of the classic ways and what we have been
listing every Monday for the past 5 weeks is to get everyone watching a scary
movie, classics of course are some of the most horrifying but have probably
been seen by almost everyone causing the scare factor to plummet (Sorry Freddy
Krueger). Newer titles especially with the incline of users on Netflix are a
much better way of finding scary movies that will deliver the scares to almost
anybody. Make sure you have all the lights off and if anybody has a surround sound
system make sure to use their system for the films.
PRANKS! Everybody loves pranks, apart from the person
getting pranked of course, especially if the prank is a scary one. There are
many ways of pulling pranks on your friends such as pretending there was a
zombie apocalypse or a werewolf entering the house. Various people have pulled
pranks and posted them online such as on YouTube, so now you can pull of
similar pranks to your friends!
What’s worse than watching others get into situations
against their own will being chased by monsters or scary beings, being put into
the shoes of those people of course! Now of course we cannot just make somebody
run away from a monster that doesn’t exist (or does it?). So the next step is
to instead get them to play a video game instead, there are tons of different
and unique games that are bound to give people Goosebumps and a big scare
towards the end.
There are loads more ways to give your friends the scare and
of course make them wish Halloween would just come and go without any problems
from monsters, ghosts or any other unnatural beings. We would like to thank you
for reading some of our blogs if you have done and hope you have a great
Halloween and we will blog some more after this haunting season.
If you have any ideas on how to spook people put them down in the comments below and please understand that some people take horror much easier than others so be careful who you are picking to scare.
“Please watch any videos, play games or read stories with caution as some can
genuinely be very scary and be careful who you scare”
