We just celebrated Fastelavn (Nordic Halloween) here in Denmark and my four year old daughter was thrilled to be dressed up as a princess (again!). This time, there was a slight difference. Thanks to a traditional Indian dress she received as a gift from India, she got to be an Indian princess. That’s when I thought what a fun gift costumes can be for kids.
If you’re looking for some interesting gift ideas for kids, how about trying a Halloween or a Fancy Dress Costume ? Kids love costumes! That's why they make such fun kids gifts. And while Halloween isn’t celebrated in several countries, they do have fancy dress events and contests, making it a useful gift. This is bound to be a hit with the kids and much appreciated by their parents. No more last-minute hassles to find costumes for the next Halloween, Fancy Dress competition or Fastelavn . Costumes can also be reused by different kids in the family.
When it comes to little girls, you can’t really go wrong with a princess costume or fairy costume. As a variation of the fairy costume, you could try a butterfly costume. Like girls, there are 2-3 costumes for little boys that are fail-proof. Go with any of the ‘mans’ –Spiderman, Superman or Batman and you’ll have made a little boy very happy.
